The Future Hokage's Training Begins

Post by Director » Mon Aug 20, 2018 12:06 am

Fanho stood outside of the Hokage's office. It was a quiet mid to late August morning. The air was a crisp nice temperature around seventy-five to eighty degrees, and the birds sang with a crisp beautiful tone that filled the air. Today was a nice day. However the young Jounin had been planning a leave of absence for a while now, and he had come to propose it to the Hokage for approval. As being seen as the next Hokage it was a lot of pressure, and now Fanho had to rise to the occasion. If doing so he'd need to make allies in far away lands, not only that, but also build himself strong enough to take down enemies of the village with ease. Konoha held mountains of knowledge, but the world experience of fighting enemies foreign to their own borders was something Fanho needed the skill set of.

He stepped up as he walked through the halls of the building being acknowledged by the staff that worked there. He was frequently in and out of the council chambers as well as the Hokage's office. His business dealt very closely with them as he helped manage Mamorinuku and was apart of ANBU, and not only that but being recognized as the next real Hokage candidate they wanted to be more familiar with him. He presumed Takeo not only talked about him, but also his other seniors and his own desire was known very much so among the ranks. Even his best friend Gene knew very well that Fanho was on the fast track to becoming the Hokage. However he still had growing to do, he was strong, but needed to broaden his horizons and take in what the world was and how he was gonna navigate it.

As he approached the Hokage's hall he strode to the door with much confidence as the ANBU agents greeted him at the door. With a firm nod he opened the door to which he expected Takeo to be in. This is it, moment of truth with my training here. However he firmly assumed the Hokage would be perched on his balcony over looking the village, or by a window out looking on the villagers. He was always a watchful person, and not one to be kept sitting inside. He'd allow Takeo to greet him before he continued speaking. "I had a guess you'd be in the office today. Even the hound has to do paper work."

Looking out at the village on such a beautiful morning, Takeo found himself in a surreal state of mind. ‘To think, it has nearly been three years since I’ve been Hokage’ he had taken the position on about a year after the attack on the village and still there had been so much destruction to tend to, so many seriously wounded and in the process of lengthy recoveries. Now, there was next to no sign of the horrors that had occurred, there were a few monuments and memorial statues and plaques of course and many of the buildings, shops and even streets throughout the village were relatively new but already the people had adapted to these changes and as a whole Konoha was running smoothly. Many other changes had occurred as well, Countrywide defences had been built, new outposts established and bold new jutsu developed, he had Mamorinuku to thank for much of their efforts, in no small part to the young Awai Fanho himself as well as the strategic mind of Nara Shikari and his council of advisors. There was also the alliance with Hito, Kazekage of the sand and the Jounin Zao whom had helped develop large scale Teleportation fuuinjutsu to enhance trade efforts and create a quick response network for deploying troops. Certainly Konoha’s defences weren’t full proof but they were exponentially better than they had been before.

Furthermore the partnership with Kumogakure helped to boost the ecodefensesprovide funding for such defences as well as strengthen the villages overall standing. The Raikage had displayed his willingness to aid Konoha directly on a number of occasions and it seemed that as the years progressed the relationship between the leaf and the cloud would continue to grow stronger. Takeo had yet to have any contact with the Kirigakure or Iwagakure but that was seen to be a blessing thus far, especially considering the S-Ranked former Iwa shinobi that Takeo had accepted into the village, a man whom had proved his worth in the first few months alone, his medical expertise more valuable than the majority of Konoha’s medical division combined. The villages ability to heal injuries and cure diseases as well as the quality of medical shinobi in Konoha were now likely the most advanced in the continent.

Still, no matter how many successes Takeo had or how safe the village felt, the 17th Hokage was not a man to rest comfortably. He was always striving for more, remaining vigilant and planning ways to further Konoha’s strength and prosperity. He had many great ambitions and the more abundant in wealth and power Konoha became the further their influence could spread and the more lives they could save and protect. Not only throughout the Fire Country but those of their allied Great Nations and even the minor countries as well. Restoring Whirlpool country was just the start, even that would be at least a decade long venture, much of the Countryside was in complete ruins but one day he hoped it could become a safe haven for those who sought out a new life, free from oppression and poverty. Whoever was chosen to become the next Hokage would have to share such core ideals and carry on his work, though even with the responsibilities and decisions handed off to someone else Takeo knew he would continue to train for the rest of his life and be forever invested in the future of the village, perhaps even becoming a councilman one day when he no longer actively engaged in missions. After all he had a family now, four children growing stronger every year and a beautiful wife waiting at home and so he doubted that he would take command of ANBU once more. That duty he hoped Gene would inherit, while Fanho took up the mantle of Hokage. The two of them were key to the future of the leaf.

Speaking of, it seemed that Fanho had stopped by, it was not an unusual occurrence by any means. Takeo noted his scent and approach though didn’t react to it, being something just calmly registered at the back of his mind. In a casual setting he was rarely on guard when around trusted friends and comrades. “Usually am.” He remarked ambivalently. He didn’t particularly enjoy or disdain paperwork, it all had its ups and downs. Occasionally he would find himself enthralled in reading reports of his comrades or organizing missions and finding solutions to various problems. Other times he would dread leaving the warmth of his bed and the arms of Aina or the tender snuggles of his young twins. “Luckily I have a large and capable staff to help with such things but there’s still always work to be done” he responded with a smile. He thoroughly enjoyed visits from the up and coming Jounin of the village, he looked at each of them with immense pride, respect and above all hope for a bountiful future.

Fanho watched as it came no surprise that he approached Takeo. The man's sense of smell and hearing were pinpoint accurate, but his relying on them would also be a weakness to genjutsu. However the Hokage was no stranger to Genjutsu being versed in what he needed to be. As his thoughts came back to the conversation the Awai gave a firm hearty nod at the comment of large staff. It was true, the Hokage's staff was larger than it was in past terms, but it was necessary and honestly helped with the entire flow of the village. It ran smoother, and it was well managed. However Fanho wasn't here to discuss terms of staffing in the village or how well things were ran. He was here for a more meaningful purpose aside from small talk.

"Well with all good staff the only way to go is up, am I right?" With a chuckle the young Jounin took comfort in a chair in-front of Takeo's desk only to shift his body so his legs were propped up by the other chair. "Y'know the day is too nice outside to waste. You got a minute of free time to do a bit of training? I've got some new skills hidden up my sleeve if you're interested to test your skills?" Fanho let a grin play across his face as he nodded to coerce the Hokage to uproot himself from paper work for a minute or thirty. Just depended how long the two could keep fighting.

"I understand however if you're getting older, Hayashi's starting to have to stretch before every mission now too." The Jounin's cocky smile growing wider with every taunt. He gave a chuckle after this one, it was only natural for Fanho to crack jokes that were in obvious good jest. None were intended to be harmful or dig too deep. It was just playful wise cracks, and it seemed to put people at ease with his good nature humor. However he felt he could poke a little bit more playfully with the bear as he'd curb stomp Fanho at any time if he wasn't pleased with it.

The Hokage shifted his body and turned his head towards Fanho as the young Awai sat down. A grey light release user still seemed quite the abnormality to him, his own Genin teammate had been an Awai and as such he was quite familiar with the clan. Most had hair, eyes and light of various yellows, golds and reds. He had even encountered blue and pink on a handful of occasions but Fanho was the only Awai he knew personally who was born completely different. And yet, despite his drab appearance the young man carried every bit the optimistic and almost naïve mindset that the Awai were known for. The rugged leader of the leaf village smiled warmly. “That’s the plan” he stated simply. There was so much to manage, resources to be allocated, new infrastructure to develop, defences to be maintained. Without a fully operating staff it would be a nightmare to deal with. As it was he was down Kazuo, and Shikari had taken time away here and there as well. ANBU was without a commander with Yosuke becoming too unstable to be relied upon. In truth despite the appearance of having everything in control it was all hanging on by just a thread and yet the village was still managing to persevere.

In all honestly Takeo was rather stressed about it all. Luckily Aina had decided to take some time off of active duty to spend more time with the children but once again Yoru had departed on another Journey, leaving the villages roster of Bannin and top class shinobi lower than it had been in years. And so when Fanho offered a spar, it seemed the perfect opportunity to both relieve a little stress and also check in on the progress of a young up and coming Jounin whom would no doubt one day become a Bannin and likely even succeed him as Hokage. The Fangless Hound couldn’t help but grin, wolfish and predatory as his eyes lit up with excitement. There were few things the man enjoyed more than training. “That’s far too tempting an offer to pass up Fanho. I can’t wait to see what you have in store for me." For a moment the man considered leaving a Shadow Clone just in case anything urgent came up but at the comment of his age he let that idea slip away. The muscular warrior let out a hearty chuckle, “I’ve got a while yet before I’m as old and grey as that swordsman. Still, I’ll consider myself lucky if I’m half the warrior he is at that age.” He spoke fondly of Hayashi always, the man had been an excellent Sensei to him and it seemed fitting that he too would prepare Fanho for what it truly mean to be shinobi. Looking at Fanho with a smirk, Takeo would enter from the balcony and head for the door. “In fact, you’re looking a lot more gray than me. Sure you’re not the one who needs to stretch?” he teased, before casually letting his receptionist know that he’d be gone for a little while. He got the usual protests but of course make sure to let her know that he’d have Fanho begging for mercy in no time and that he’d be back before she knew it.

With both men talking big it would soon be time to find out just how far Fanho had come. Recently he had tested Gene in combat after the young operative sought permission to hunt the likes of Nehan and Kenji. Ultimately Takeo had deemed him not quite up to par for such opponents, much to his own disappointment, nonetheless Gene had proven to remain an excellent Jounin who could adapt well under pressure. He simply didn’t have the raw power or Stamina to contend as an S-rank level and the fact that he underestimated what such a battle would entail spoke volumes about his lack of experience fighting truly terrifying opponents.When it came to putting his life on the line he was no stranger but there was still something holding him back from true greatness. Interestingly enough, Takeo surmised that Fanho might be the opposite. He might have the sheer strength and jutsu repertoire, but did he have the grit and cunning? In previous trainings sessions, back when Takeo had been a Sensei to Awai Minoru and Hyuuga Makoto and even in some aspects with Yoru, he had always been rather soft and held back considerably. Today he vowed to truly put Fanho to the test and find out what kind of heart he really had. Exciting the building he would walk by the young man’s side. “You can choose the training ground. We’ll reserve whatever one you pick. I’ll warn you now, I expect great things from you and I don’t intend to hold back so you’d better deliver” he spoke with a palpable intensity, his piercing blue eyes striking deep into Fanho’s soul, seeming to gauge whether or not he was truly ready.

Fanho fluttered his eye brows at the mention of a plan. It always was in Konoha. Being one of the longest standing villages it was only natural they had a large amount of Kage in office, however it seemed more like tradition handing off the Hokage's seat to the next generation. However in Konoha's history they had skipped a generation or two with the calamity of war, and just some lull in the generations not wanting to be Hokage, or the candidate's death in battle before coronation. A sad life, but it happened in the lives of shinobi. Hopefully Fanho could be the Hokage to ensure the safety of his generation, older ones, and those after him.

As the Hokage warmly accepted Fanho's offer, it actually seemed the Hokage was more excited than Fanho at the temptation to test him. With the words of Hayashi, Fanho gave a warm chuckle. He too respected Hayashi, and as fate had it, the two shared him as a sensei and mentor. It was true, Fanho wished to be as good as a shinobi as Hayashi. He had beaten disciplines into Fanho, tactics, and instinct into himself, however it never beat the playfulness at Fanho's heart. Which he figured his teacher admired that about him. Despite it all, Fanho never really dropped his inner child, and he didn't really seek to grow up either in that aspect. It made him relatable, and honestly he felt if he had lost that innocence it'd allow the hatred and death in the world to consume him.

"Hey now, I may have grey hair, but my age in the books has a lower number than yours. Don't you forget that you mangy wolf." The teen gritted his teeth as he sneered humorously towards the Hokage. Albeit some would chastise Fanho for speaking to the Hokage in such a way, he seemed as the Hokage was a shinobi, a villager like everyone else. He was a friend, and someone Fanho could speak competitively and humorously with. If a Hokage couldn't enjoy a little smack talk that was harmless, and obviously understood between the two. Then he must not be a fun Hokage.

With the thought of him picking the arena, Fanho wanted level playing grounds. Albeit the smart choice would be to pick somewhere dark where Fanho had the usefulness of the darkness, he knew Takeo was all too smart to know that'd be an advantage for himself. The wolf man had a nose and hearing ridiculously good. So what better than to pick a mountain range. The wind blowing strong, large peaks, and cliffs for great fighting. It was a field that was 50 meters in radius with light grass, no trees, with large cliffs on each far end of the range that scaled up to 80 meters high. There was a strong wind blowing through the range as the sides were open, but not the ends. Here Fanho knew he'd have the upper hand. The wind would blow away the wolf's scent, and the cliff sides were perfect for what he planned up his sleeve. "I think here will do just the trick." The young Jounin grinned as he stood on the opposite side of the arena from the Hokage.

The Hokage chuckled lightly as Fanho called him a mangy wolf. He had always appreciated Fanho’s references to his former moniker as well as his ties to the Inuzuka clan. There was something very enticing about being thought of as a wild beast. Fanho had yet to even see him really let loose in combat, only heard stories and worked alongside him on a handful of missions. Today, if he proved himself capable enough the young Awai would witness for himself how relentless and wild the 17th Hokage could really get. “Keep talking like that and you wont live long enough to get to your 20’s let alone your 30’s.” he teased, chuckling heartily now before lashing out a playful but very solid jab to Fanho’s shoulder and rustling up his hair a bit before pushing him aside. The kid actually reminded him a bit of Yoru at that age or even one of the many Inuzuka clansmen he grew up around, always teasing and roughhousing. It was exactly the kind of atmosphere that brought out Takeo’s playful side, albeit he was also prone more towards aggression. So often the man was forced to hold back extensively, he hoped Fanho was as good as he thought he was or else he truly might accidently kill him.

After a fairly long trek, which also served as an adequate warm-up, the two came to a fitting battleground. Takeo surveyed the area, in some ways it reminded him of the personal training ground he had created a good 30kms away from the village, today they were much closer however, only about 10kms out. Well within the villages Sensory range, ensuring that nobody back in Konoha thought the village was under attack should their jutsu get out of hand. Takeo noted the wind, blowing from his right to his left. It wouldn’t completely restrict his sense of smell but it could certainly play a role, this may have seemed like a disadvantage but already Takeo knew to expect Fanho to attack from downwind as soon as he was able to utilize Hiton to force him to close his eyes. The Hokage was no stranger to tactics, almost always being able to outmaneuver his opponent and already he was thinking several moves ahead.

He had considered several strategies by the time the two had moved to opposite ends of the field. He would stand with one cliff face 20 meters behind him, leaving 80 meters of remaining space until the cliff on the opposite end. Evidently Fanho wanted ample time to set up Ninjutsu and keep the Hokage at a distance, limiting the devasting close quarters combat he was known for. However if there was anything else the Raging Wolf had become famous for, at least among any whom had seen him in action, it was his aptitude for completely altering the landscape of any environment he fought in, and today would be no exception. “Let’s see if you’re ready for this” he muttered to himself, grinning as he performed a lengthy set of handseals that he moved through with remarkable quickness and precision. With so much space between them he had plenty of time to show off his skillset a bit. After completing his seals the man would slam his hand on the ground and with a thunderous roar the ground would split violently as his chakra surged through the earth. The field would tear asunder, shooting debris ranging from massive boulders to fist sized rocks shooting up out of the ground toward Fanho like bullets. The entire field would shake as the ground split and into a large canyon, 45 meters long, 20 meters wide and 25 meters deep. Nearly everything from Takeo’s point onward would be riddled with debris flying at 30 Speed and 50 Strength and even the cliff behind Fanho would be struck and sections would collapse down on him from above.
Jutsu UsedShow
Doton • Great Earth Flow Divide
S-Rank Ninjutsu
Prerequisite: 40 Ninjutsu
Even more powerful than its predecessor Takeo has taken this legendary jutsu to the next step. After performing the correct hand seals the user will slam their palm down on the ground. Their chakra will violently rend the ground tearing it apart in a 45 meter line at a speed of 30 with a strength of 50. The tearing is 20 meters wide and 25 meters deep, shooting dangerous rubble, rock, and everything on the ground into the surrounding air during the technique. Over all this causes great destruction, leaving a grand valley in its wake. Even standing near the path of this technique is quite dangerous due to the immense force of the flying debris.

Fanho's mind was quick to work and memorize Takeo's technique. The hand seals, the movement of the ground, the depth and measurements of it all. He committed it to a t. Not only was Takeo quick to work on his own S-rank jutsu, but Fanho also channeled chakra to him until a solid hiton cloak appeared around him covering him from head to toe. However he had an inscription on the cloak either Takeo would get a laugh out of, or would make him sneer in disapproval. "You said to go all out so don't blame me for your wounds!" If Fanho were to take on the beast, he'd need to start pulling out the strongest of his arsenal. Luckily the cloak began wrapping around him as the hole in the ground tore asunder, and began pelting rocks everywhere.

With his speed Fanho had to take time to activate his fuuinjutsu tied onto his stomach as the fuuinjutsu lines took over his body wrapping around crackling with electricity as he felt the speed surge through him just before a piece of debris would strike him he deftly dodged around it with a firm foot planted he shot off at an amazing speed. However slower than what the Hokage was capable of. The cloak would fill the area with an immense heat, one that reached out to barely touch Takeo delivering instant 3rd degree burns upon touching the area it reached. The rocks would pelt Fanho as they struck the cloak, but not fully damaging it to where it'd break. He could feel each strike, however it only rattled him rather than pierce him.

With channeling chakra to his fist, Fanho funneled a large amount extra into it as his fist glowed bright blue beaming with energy before he released the fist forward towards Takeo taking what debris being blow out left over pushing it towards Takeo with immense force at a force greater than the rocks being shot off earlier. He had made sure to aim himself only about 55 meters away from the cliff that stood behind the Hokage. "KONOHA SMASH!" The shot was enough to even topple the Hokage as it reached slamming the cliff behind him before literally obliterating it. The cliff of which Takeo stood in-front of was now a mere viewing perch with no blockage of the mountain in sight. Yeah they might need the topographical mappers to remap the area now. The shot wouldn't have killed the Hokage, but sure would leave him stumbling and perhaps begging for the fight to be over. It was a strength that rivaled the Kages of the world, and would kill most shinobi. The only downfall was that it was somewhat slow in what it traveled, but Fanho primarily used it up front.

These moves were just drops out of Fanho's own chakra pool. He hadn't even used close to half his reserves, and still had more to go on. With the air cleared Fanho would follow behind his immense punch sprinting behind, but just slow enough he wouldn't catch himself in it. He would follow up by getting close to the Hokage. However not before launching one of his signature kunai lobbing it over his Konoha Smash, but just behind Takeo where the cliff once stood. If the Hokage had his hands full keeping his eyes on Fanho and the Konoha Smash just thrown, the Kunai would be an absent thought to him. At least in Fanho's eyes he aimed to overwhelm the hound with multitudes of blinding hiton, the sound of sheer rock being obliterated, and his own jutsu's debris being turned against him. The kunai would be nothing more than a rock flying forward. He knew that he was more versed in taijutsu, but with this cloak Takeo would have to keep pushing backwards. "Playing from afar is no fun!" Honestly, he was kind of afraid he might kill Takeo. He hadn't shown him these sets of jutsu he had been practicing away from prying eyes.
Jutsu/Equipment UsedShow
1x Kunai Inscribed with Fuuin

Konoha Smash • Fool Me Once
B-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
After seeing a move done once in a battle whether it be a taijutsu maneuver, ninjutsu, or genjutsu, Fanho has already committed the actions to memory quickly being able to identify which jutsu or technique is being used. This means he can predict what attacks he should prepare for once he sees the wind-up for them. Only permitting if hes seen the technique done once before.

Hiton • The Hokage's Cloak
S-Ranked Ninjutsu
Pre-Requisite: 40 Ninjutsu, 35 Control
After channeling chakra Fanho will mold Hiton chakra into a solid form around his body causing him to appear blindingly grey with a haori forming on his body with the words meaning Hokage inscribed on the back. The haori also features the Awai clan symbol on the back above the wording, with black lines extending from the shoulders of the haori to the ends of the sleeves. With two stripes on the front extending to the bottom from each shoulder. This chakra cloak forms at 30 speed with a strength of 50. This chakra cloak emits the Hiton passives outwards up to 70 meters, Fanho being the epicenter and unaffected by the passive. While in this jutsu Fanho can preform other jutsus, and the cloak only lasts for 10 posts before dissipating.

Konoha Smash • No Breaks
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Pre-Requisites: 20 Strength
With his immense strength Fanho can always go from 0 to 60 real quick. After mastering this discipline it effectively allows Fanho to reach his top speed instantly as his strength allows him to kick of quickly and maintain that speed quickly and effectively.

Fuuinjutsu • Full Cowling
B-Rank Augment Fuuinjutsu
Fanho will tattoo this fuuinjutsu on a person in the forms of thick lines on their body in an erratic pattern that takes up a decent amount of space as it weaves from the stomach around the chest to the shoulders, and then down to the pelvis, and with a B-rank's worth of chakra channeled they can activate it. Afterwards they can deactivate it with no cost. When activated this causes the fuuinjutsu to glow grey and create sparks of electricity and grow outwards, the fuuinjutsu line's growing on his body in an erratic pattern (This change is just aesthetic, this pattern also doesn't affect other fuuin). This fuuin gives the person a +5 to speed, a +4 to strength, and deducts a -9 to control.

Ninjutsu • Konoha Smash
S-Rank Ninjutsu
After funneling extra chakra into his fist or foot Fanho will then release it upon after hitting his target. The extra chakra charged in his fist will release a brutal raw concussive force of 40 strength in a cone like manner that expands from his fist for 50 meters at 30 speed. The height/width of the end of the cone is 35x35 meters. While Fanho's fist is charged it glows blue like ninpou. Fanho can control the size of the cone reducing it to a reach of 5 meters with a height and width of 3x3 meters.

Ninjutsu • Fire Country Reinforcement
B-Rank Ninjutsu
Pre-Requisite: Ninjutsu • Konoha Smash
By funneling extra chakra into his Konoha Smash Fanho can increase its strength yield by +10 strength resulting in a stronger double punch. This also increases it's range by 20 meters with max height/width at the end of 50x50 meters.

As his hands pressed against the ground and the earth began to rip apart with tremendous ferocity, Takeo had honestly expected to be able to lay back a bit and observe Fanho, deciding whether he could handle anything else. What he could have never anticipated was the tremendous aura the teenager generated. The Hokage had never seen anything like it, even his top tier elemental armors couldn’t compare to that kind of effect. The range of heat and blinding light was staggering and instantly Takeo knew that if Fanho was allowed to close the distance then he truly would be in danger. Adrenaline coursed through the bearded warrior’s body as he leapt back a few meters. To think Fanho had achieved power comparable to a Kage, it was unheard of. He had more than surpassed Gene, even Yoru, the greatest prodigy Takeo had ever encountered had never developed a technique with that kind of range and intensity. Without wasting time, Takeo began a frenzied series of handseals. There was only one thing he could do and that was to envelop himself in his own aura, essentially fighting fire with fire. In this form he would be immune to the heat of his opponent’s technique though there was still the issue of its blinding qualities.

As Fanho charged his hand with chakra Takeo completed his own seals, the aura of condensed flames enveloping him. The moment Fanho began to advance, moving in on the right side of the fissure from Takeo’s perspective, the Hokage would strafe quickly to the left. The last thing he wanted was to be trapped with his back against the wall. He would keep his distance and gauge the tactics of his opponent. He had underestimated him once and had no intention to do so again. Moreover, the longer he was able to stay out of range of the blinding effects of the jutsu the better. And so when Fanho launched his attack, Takeo had already taken several powerful strides, quickly reaching his top speed as his movement would appear to be a barely discernable blur. Looking over his shoulder as he ran the man was in awe by the size of the destructive blast of pure ninpou. It moved quickly, as did Fanho for that matter, both certainly impressive but it was the sheer destructive power of the blast as it impacted with the cliff that sent a shiver down the warrior’s spine. If he had aimed to climb the cliff or move so his back was against it such an attack could have actually killed him.

Keeping his distance, Takeo would sprint away from the canyon he had created, spinning abruptly as he took in the destruction of the exploding and collapsing cliff once he was safely at the other end of the field, once again a good 70 meters away from his opponent. Boulders now scattered across the entire area, creating various points of cover and also making a straight charge across the field difficult, also much of the canyon that had been created had been filled with rocks and dirt from the destroyed cliff and even part of the cliff on the opposite end had large sections broken off, becoming unstable from all the debris shot towards it. It was unusual for Takeo to be forced into long range combat but for the time being that was the only way he could adequately prepare himself for the techniques Fanho had developed. He couldn’t let himself be blinded by the Hiton aura but he also knew that he was unlikely to outlast its duration through sheer speed and evasion tactics. “You’re something else, Fanho” he muttered to himself in amazement, there was no lightheartedness in his tone however, only calm and focused determination. He would have to go all out, layer his defences and utilize large scale Ninjutsu to truly display the kind of power and chakra reserves he had obtained in his journey to become Hokage.

Upon reaching the edge of the field, Takeo would form a series of handseals, building up another massive surge of chakra as he further reinforced his defences. To Fanho, it would appear that nothing had happened at all, perhaps indicating some sort of powerful genjutsu attempt or a delayed attack. In reality however, beneath his blazing aura of Fire, Takeo had enhanced his own skin, fusing the outer layer with Doton to create a nigh impenetrable defence. Once he had done this he would form another much shorter sequence of seals, completing his ultimate defence with a third element: Fuuton. Deadly winds would surround the man, surging outwards to an impressive radius and slicing through the various boulders within 40 meters of him. The fact that Fanho was deemed worthy enough for this combination was something Takeo never would have considered possible. He hadn’t ever felt the need to go to such lengths even when sparring against Yoru or Aina. He hadn’t missed the way Fanho had shrugged off the impact of the debris from his canyon however, that Hiton aura of his was unbelievable. A perfect defence, ranged offence and supplementary jutsu causing blinding all in one. The Hokage had to utilize 3 separate jutsu to achieve even close to the same effect. Granted Fanho’s singular jutsu surely utilized considerably more chakra than any of his but the casting time was much faster all things considering and the total chakra use would still be less than Takeo’s.

Already the muscular shinobi was feeling the drain on his chakra. If he were to estimate he would have already used up just under 1/3 of his own reserves. He would have to determine just how much Stamina his opponent had and force Fanho to deplete his chakra at an equivalent rate. Surely the teenager couldn’t also have more chakra or control than the Hokage? It seemed that his Ninjutsu skill was on par and that in itself was worrisome. Unless Fanho came within range for his Hiton’s blinding to take affect, the Hokage would watch his opponent, fully expecting another powerful attack to be coming his way.

Jutsu UsedShow
Katon • Aura of Sakuretsu
S-Rank Ninjutsu
Prerequisite: 40 Ninjutsu, 35 Control
Takeo had developed this technique as the pinnacle of close quarters Katon ninjutsu, made only possible by those with exceptional chakra control. After forming a lengthy set of hand seals the user will shroud their entire body in an extremely thin though powerful layer of protective chakra which will serve as a barrier between ones flesh/clothing and flame, mitigating a great deal of its heat. Next the user will be enveloped in an aura of flames, erupting 3-6 inches around their entire body with such intensity that the air ripples around them. Any who comes in contact with the flames will receive 4th degree burns as the result of a direct strike and 3rd degree burns from glancing blows. In addition the user is able to enhance ones strikes with bursts of flames, unleashing up to 16 explosive tags worth of force. This explosive power can be divided incrementally or used all at once but can’t exceed 16 tags worth. The aura lasts for a maximum of 7 posts.

Earth Element • Titans Armor
S-Rank Ninjutsu
Prerequisite: 40 Ninjutsu
After forming the necessary hand seals Takeo will imbue his body with the properties of Doton chakra. At this level he is able to refine his chakra to merge with his skin on a cellular level, creating a flexible though incredibly dense armor that spans his entire body save for his eyes, spreading across his body at a speed of 30. As a result his skin will become visibly darker and stone-like in appearance, becoming invulnerable to all but the most powerful piercing or slashing attacks. The defensive matrix can withstand attacks up to 50 strength while also increasing the damage dealt by Takeo’s strikes as the density of his skin becomes akin to that of a diamond, meaning with sufficient force anything of less density is able to be shattered and destroyed. This technique can last a maximum of 8 posts and requires a significant amount of chakra to maintain.

*Fuuton • Dragon's Tempest
A-Ranked Fuuton Jutsu
After forming the needed hand seals, a fierce whirlwind will radiate out from the user at 20 speed, surrounding the user with winds that will cut any opponent or object within range to pieces. There is a 2m radius around the user that would be the “eye of the storm.” If struck by this Jutsu the victims will face wounds so severe that they can be deadly, receiving deep cuts and hits equal to a strength of 30. This Jutsu covers an area of 40m in all directions.

Fanho watched as Takeo took in his attacks. He had asked Fanho to go all out, and by God was Fanho going to deliver. If he were to ever achieve the Hokage seat, he had to be better than Takeo, faster than Takeo, and stronger than Takeo. He'd prove here and now that he was worthy. However this wasn't about Fanho taking the Hokage's seat now, or beating Takeo. This was to show Takeo how far Fanho had came down the road, and how far he still needed to go. A simple conversation could've solved the issue no spar intended, but Fanho knew Takeo would be more understanding if he was shown the sheer growth Fanho has endured in his tenure as a shinobi.

Analyzing Takeo's hand signs Fanho committed them to memory in almost an instant. He couldn't by any means copy his jutsu, but he could memorize and know for when Takeo would use that jutsu again. He'd watch how they functioned, how long they lasted, and how long Takeo could keep them up. Fanho was almost certain Takeo had larger reserves, but his refinery over ninjutsu wasn't comparable to Fanho's own mastery of it. With the flame aura, Fanho's burns wouldn't deal what they needed, and with his fuuinjutsu on he lost the meticulous control of his chakra he much so needed. With a small pulse of chakra Fanho disabled the fuuinjutsu on his stomach. He'd have to channel a few jutsu without it to prevent wasteful chakra drain.

At this moment Fanho had used a decent amount of chakra, but judging by the sheer strength and aura's of the jutsu Takeo committed he had to assume the Hokage had used more than him. "That's some pretty strong jutsu. Are you sure it'll be enough?"With a cock eyed grin Fanho teased the Hokage. With his one second analytics pushed aside Fanho had to act. He knew the Hokage's wind aura was the main bunker buster. The flame was also an issue as he wasn't aware just exactly what it did other than the assumption it protected him from Fanho's own heat. Fanho channeled chakra to his eyes as an eerily dark blue hue shaded over them, now everything moved at a fraction of its original speed.

The wind was ripping through boulders, scarring the ground, and even slowly whittling away at the cliff behind Takeo. Fanho couldn't just keep throwing around these Konoha smashes. Sure they were strong enough, but it was futile if he was just gonna tire himself out. Takeo was aiming for a war of attrition assured of his own stamina, and Fanho could push it however that wouldn't be the tactile way in. I should have 3/4ths of my reserves still good if I use this next plan smart.

Fanho channeled massive amounts of chakra to his hand as it began to swirl taking on the form of Konoha's titular Rasengan that it was famous for. However this one was different, it glowed a bright grey with steam rolling off of it. Fanho channeled chakra back into the seal turning it on once more, albeit it was slightly draining he was able to save a bit of chakra by flicking it on and off like a switch. He felt the surge of strength and speed throughout him as the lightning crackled off his fuuin growing across his body. With the rasengan in hand Fanho pumped a bit more chakra to it as he slung it through. The Rasengan moving at such a fast and strong pace it braved the winds not deviating once as it moved with immense amounts of force. When it'd strike it'd expand to 32m in diameter with immense strength, which he hoped would dispel the Fuuton winds that surrounded him. "Let's put a spin on an old classic shall we old man?"
Jutsu UsedShow
Konoha Smash • Fool Me Once
B-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
After seeing a move done once in a battle whether it be a taijutsu maneuver, ninjutsu, or genjutsu, Fanho has already committed the actions to memory quickly being able to identify which jutsu or technique is being used. This means he can predict what attacks he should prepare for once he sees the wind-up for them. Only permitting if hes seen the technique done once before. It was aimed directly for Takeo, this one wouldn't be strong enough to kill the Hokage like the last move.

Fuuinjutsu • Full Cowling (Turned off)
B-Rank Augment Fuuinjutsu
Fanho will tattoo this fuuinjutsu on a person in the forms of thick lines on their body in an erratic pattern that takes up a decent amount of space as it weaves from the stomach around the chest to the shoulders, and then down to the pelvis, and with a B-rank's worth of chakra channeled they can activate it. Afterwards they can deactivate it with no cost. When activated this causes the fuuinjutsu to glow grey and create sparks of electricity and grow outwards, the fuuinjutsu line's growing on his body in an erratic pattern (This change is just aesthetic, this pattern also doesn't affect other fuuin). This fuuin gives the person a +5 to speed, a +4 to strength, and deducts a -9 to control.

Tighten Time: Inhuman Reactions
C-rank Ninjutsu
Fanho will focus Jikukan chakra onto his perception allowing him to tighten time on his eyesight. This allows him to see things as if they were at 2/3rds their original speed. This gives him an edge over combatants, and allows him to deduce a pattern or technique quicker than normal by seeing a longer wind-up time. This lasts for 4 posts.

Hiton • Volatile Rasengan
S-Rank Ninjutsu
After Fanho has began channeling chakra to his hand he will form a ball of swirling grey blinding light that billows with smoke from the cool air making contact with the hot ball of light. The ball is 0.5m in diameter. The hot swirling light when struck with someone explodes an additional 32m^3 at 35 strength causing a burning blinding light to be produced outwards of its former size.

Fuuinjutsu • Full Cowling (Turned on)
B-Rank Augment Fuuinjutsu
Fanho will tattoo this fuuinjutsu on a person in the forms of thick lines on their body in an erratic pattern that takes up a decent amount of space as it weaves from the stomach around the chest to the shoulders, and then down to the pelvis, and with a B-rank's worth of chakra channeled they can activate it.

Ninjutsu • Thrown Rasengan
C-Rank Ninjutsu
Pre-Requisites: 25 Control, Ninjutsu • Rasengan
By funneling another set of chakra into any of Fanho's rasengan variants or originals, he can now throw them up to control x 2 in meters. This adds a spin on a traditionally held in hand technique now making it a viable projectile.
Jutsu Still In EffectShow
Hiton • The Hokage's Cloak (9 Posts Left)
S-Ranked Ninjutsu
Pre-Requisite: 40 Ninjutsu, 35 Control
After channeling chakra Fanho will mold Hiton chakra into a solid form around his body causing him to appear blindingly grey with a haori forming on his body with the words meaning Hokage inscribed on the back. The haori also features the Awai clan symbol on the back above the wording, with black lines extending from the shoulders of the haori to the ends of the sleeves. With two stripes on the front extending to the bottom from each shoulder. This chakra cloak forms at 30 speed with a strength of 50. This chakra cloak emits the Hiton passives outwards up to 70 meters, Fanho being the epicenter and unaffected by the passive. While in this jutsu Fanho can preform other jutsus, and the cloak only lasts for 10 posts before dissipating.

Takeo’s own gaze was wolf-like and predatory as he looked back at Fanho. The young shinobi’s lightheartedness reminded him of the banter Takeo had always had when training with his prodigious student, Aizawa Yoru. However Fanho had already put the man on guard, spurring the kind of intensity the Hokage harnessed when combating a real threat. Perhaps Fanho’s ability would dwindle as the spar progressed but for now the muscular warrior would not let up. “You’re strong Fanho, far stronger than I gave you credit for. That jutsu of yours is remarkable but made no mistake, it will be many years yet before you defeat me” he claimed. Now that the Hokage had implemented his defensive jutsu he could begin to make his counter attack, but first he wanted to analyze what type of strategy Fanho would use in response. He narrowed his eyes as he watched the formation of a Hiton rasengan, it was difficult to perceive through the aura of grey light but from this distance it was still possible. As it was thrown towards him however the man was forced to finally build up chakra to his eyes, protecting them from the light and blocking off his vision.

With his earthen armor in place he wasn’t worried about dodging, instead allowing the winds that surrounded him to be tested. Given that Fanho was 70 meters away and threw the projectile 28 meters it would explode just at the edge of the Fuuton defence, enveloping the winds with quite a bit of strength, dispersing a good portion of the jutsu. From 10 meters out on one side and the entire 40 meters on the other the winds still existed however and as a show of defiance the winds would quickly fill in the disrupted area before the jutsu naturally dispersed. “Thrown Rasengan’s, that’s new but not quite good enough” he noted. It was still a potent jutsu for a Jounin and was quite useful in most scenario’s but just wasn’t quite going to cut it against Takeo.

Now that he had an idea of Fanho’s actual strength, given the time it took for the rasengan to cross the distance, Takeo wagered that close range would be his best bet after all. Sprinting forward the distance between the combatants would quickly evaporate. The Hokage would strafe to the right (Fanho’s left) as he approached the ravine which had been filled in completely on the right side. As soon as his feet touched the first boulder, noting the slight dip in elevation, Takeo leaped across the ravine to the point where he could now accurately smell Fanho and close in on his target. Stopping for a brief moment he would dig in his feet and adjust his trajectory, kicking against the ground with immense force and causing tremors with every step as he charged towards Fanho. With his armor up perhaps he was overly confident, seeing no reason not to rush headlong into battle and counting on his charge to disrupt his opponents balance and coordination. Closing in, dashing at incredible speeds he would kick a cloud of dirt into Fanho’s face a moment before coming in range before spinning out of the way and attempting  to grab at Fanho’s arm, pulling it down and out of the way as he drew his sword with his right hand, contining to spin until he was behind Fanho as he aimed for a powerful slash to  the back of Fanho’s neck.

A devastating dash attack known for its ability to cause tremors in the earth, the user will take a brief moment to ready themselves, digging their foot into the ground and building up power in their leg. Then in a burst of movement, the user will kick off into a dash so hard that the force they put into the earth actually causes the ground to rumble with tremors radiating out to 15 meters, causing anyone with a Taijutsu stat 10 or more underneath the user’s strength to struggle with standing or moving even at a walking pace. This makes the perfect cover for the Toryu user to charge into battle headfirst as it makes it more difficult for those who aren’t taijutsu practitioners to retaliate against their advance.

*[Toryu • Dirty Assault]
B-Ranked Kenjutsu Maneuver

Using their surroundings to their advantage with a bit of quick thinking, the user will charge at their opponent from a distance. Then, Just before getting within range to attack the opponent, the user will dig the toe of their shoe or foot into the dirt and kick up a large cloud of dirt to obscure the opponent’s vision and as a result, the user’s position. If no dirt is available, such as being inside, the user should instead use a bit of dirt on their person, though this is less effective as the cloud would be much smaller and is instead meant to simply blind the opponent. The user will then make a quick dash to either side of the opponent and reach for their arm, giving them a quick jerk to set them off balance and bring them closer before delivering a quick slash to the opponent’s jugular.

As Takeo closed the distance with remarkable speed, Fanho was only able to hop a few meters up before the cloud dust was kicked up. The hop to avoid being shook by Takeo's stomping around as if he was a beast himself. However Takeo had already made contact grabbing at Fanho's wrist. Fanho with his own movement, a twist of his hand directed towards Takeo, and the kick up of his legs, and his other hand pointed backwards. Fanho kai'd all his fuuinjutsu tied into his legs and hands at once delivering four 25 strength explosions all into Takeo's armor just as the blade would have reached him. The explosion wouldn't have killed the man, certainly not with his armor, but it should've been enough to stop the blade swing and part the two away. At least knocking Takeo back a bit. "Not today Wolfman of Konoha!"

The explosion didn't only toss the Hokage, but also Fanho who flew forward as he tumbled through the air he quickly rolled in the air. From here Fanho reached into his pouch pulling a single shuriken as he slung it towards his village's leader while focusing a dollop of chakra from his large reserves as it puffed into a large cloud of shuriken. "Stone chips! But my light never dims wolf boy!" With the smoke of the explosion clearing, and Takeo recovering from the blow the steel haired Awai hoped it could catch him off guard and finish off what doton armor Takeo had left. With the strength it carried, it seemed that way.

Before he skidded across the ground, he reached his right hand down to help slow himself as he landed on the side of the crater (from Takeo's view), but closer to the top of that side. If by Fanho's calculations he should be able to identify cracks in Takeo's armor. It was as strong as his own judging by the time it took to perform it, and not only that but only strong enough to suffer one more blow. However Fanho wasn't aware of what katon armor laid underneath it. Now the two should've had a closer distance, but still decently far about 40 meters.

He took note that his kunai from earlier had landed a roughly 3 meters behind Takeo's current position where it rested in the ground. As the shuriken hopefully struck their target Fanho formed a Rasengan in one hand before teleporting instantly to the kunai coming out of it barreling at Takeo attempting to deliver the burns from his cloak and blind his opponent, or drive his Rasengan into the Hokage's back. Odd to use the titular Konoha jutsu against its leader. It just felt off. "Can you smell this?!"

Fuuinjutsu • Hidaki Smash x4 All Kai'd at the same time
A-Rank Force Fuuinjutsu
Prerequisite: 30 Strength
Fanho will tattoo this fuuinjutsu across a person's arms before channeling chakra into it. This fuuinjutsu is so large it takes up the entirety of a person's arm from the shoulder down to their finger tips, no other fuuinjutsu can be applied here. This fuuinjutsu can store up to 25 strength's worth of explosive energy, and can release it with chakra kai. If two of this fuuinjutsu are tattoo'd, Fanho can open kai on both to absorb energy with one and shoot it out with the other as a conduit. Since this fuuinjutsu expels the explosive energy outwards it saves Fanho from any damage. However to withstand the strength this fuuinjutsu expels an explosion he must have 30 strength.

After Fanho has began to channel chakra to his hand a blue ball of spinning rotating chakra appears in his hand no larger than the size of a basketball (0.5m in diameter). The Rasengan is a concentrated ball of fast rotating chakra in the palm of Fanho's hand. Using pure chakra, the spinning ball of chakra hits up to a strength of 35 that sends the target spiraling off into the distance. The only downside to this jutsu is that it requires the Rasengan to remain in Fanho's hand. This is the advanced version of the Runt Rasengan, and is typically reserved for higher level ninja.

The Future Hokage's Training Begins

Post by Izanagi » Thu Nov 15, 2018 11:33 pm

As soon as he made contact with Fanho’s wrist Takeo was able to visualize where the rest of his opponent’s body was, pulling the young Jounin off center after already being in mid-air as the Hokage moved with lightning quickness to deliver a slash to the young man’s shielded neck. What he hadn’t expected however was the sudden powerful explosion. Or rather series of explosions, already committed to his action the strength of the explosive bursts each paled in comparison to the power of his arm and thus the sword he wielded would strike true, though the Hiton armor did its job, protecting Fanho from all harm for the time being. Digging his feet in, and bending his knees, naturally bracing against the explosions, Takeo wouldn’t move more than a few feet backward. Both his armor and fire aura would remain intact. The explosions were a sufficient distraction and had served to propel Fanho away but only at 25 Speed.

The young Awai would not be given a proper opportunity to regroup. Takeo truly was a relentless beast when he fought and without hesitation he charged after his opponent, rocketing forward instantly at 45 Speed. The sound of the explosion and smoke in the air was enough to disorient the man slightly and prevent him from gaining an exact position on Fanho though the Awai’s frequent quips allowed him to adjust his course. As Takeo closed within 10 meters he heard the sound of a kunai being drawn and even as it multiplied he would listen for the sound of their movements, intercepting and deflecting those in front of him with his sword in rapid fashion, even redirecting a couple into one another as he expertly evaded even those projectiles threatening non vital areas, making subtle shifts in body positioning all while continuing to close in on his opponent. Despite being well versed in all forms of combat Taijutsu was Takeo’s preferred method of fighting and few could overcome his proficiency in the art, least of all some prodigal ninjutsu specialist of the Awai clan.

While Fanho was still descending from the air, and upon deflecting the last of the Kunai, Takeo would leap off the ground, driving one knee up, feinting a knee to the sternum before drawing the knee back, using it as momentum to build up a powerful roundhouse kick to Fanho’s left side. Even this he anticipated might be blocked or at the very least wouldn’t be enough to break his defence and so he would continue the attack, shifting his body and drawing the attacking leg back to scissor and rotate his entire body in the air in order to deliver a kick to the opposite side of Fanho’s body with his other leg, before switching his grip on his sword to wield it like a spear and throw it with all his strength aimed for the center of mass of Fanho’s chest. This throwing momentum would bring Takeo’s body right side up once more allowing him to just manage to get his feet under him as he landed and immediately rolled backwards before springing off the ground, keeping low and skidding back a few more meters. This would bring him closer to the side of the ravine Fanho had originally started on though still only about 2/3’s across the distance.

If Fanho used his teleportation to evade some or all of his barrage of attacks he would appear at his kunai which had been thrown towards the side where Takeo had originally started at, likely buried beneath some degree of rubble but still accessible enough. At this point Takeo would find himself breathing much more heavily, the sudden bursts of energy, charging in and attacking with everything he had was taking its toll. If given any notable time to catch his breath he would be able to recover somewhat, though regardless he could keep fighting for some time yet. Nonetheless he was impressed, he hadn’t exerted himself this much in a spar since the last time he practiced with Aina or Yoru. ‘How long can you keep up this pace Fanho?’ he wondered. If even he was beginning to tire he wondered just what kind of toll had been taken on the teenager.
Jutsu UsedShow
Keen Ears
C-Ranked Taijutsu Discipline
Takeo’s sharp senses allow him to pick up on slight sounds within a 15 meter radius of himself. This can range from the sound of a weapon being drawn, a projectile in flight or subtle footsteps and sounds of moderately heavy breathing. In terms of eavesdropping he can discern a conversation at such a range as if he were standing next to the person whom is speaking.

[Toryu • Deflect]
C-Rank Kenjutsu Maneuver
A defensive technique done when Takeo has a bladed weapon in hand. Adjusting the angle of his weapon accordingly he can deflect an incoming projectile in order to strike another target or accurately angle the weapon for a particular designation. Deflected projectiles travels at 2/3 of its original speed and the speed of the projectile must be equal to or lower than Takeo’s Taijutsu+Speed/2 stat in order to deflect it with any kind of accuracy.

Slight Dodge
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
A skill derived from boxing Takeo has learned to utilize his head and body movements to maximum efficiency. So long as his Instinct+Speed/2 is higher than his opponents Taijutsu+Speed/2 he can make minor bobs and weaves out of the path of most basic strikes and linear projectiles, often allowing him to capitalize on counters based on the openings that a miss provides.

Pursuit
C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite: 15 Taijutsu
Utilizing the tactics of free-running Takeo is able to utilize his speed to the utmost efficiency. He can run at his full pace, seeming to flow over, around, and through practically any obstacles without losing any speed or momentum. This type of movement is incredibly useful, not only when pursuing a target, but also when fleeing. Most commonly this technique is used in natural or forested areas, giving Takeo a distinct advantage over other shinobi, though he can adapt this technique to suit other terrain such as urban environments as well.

Jump Kick
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: Acrobatics
An ideal attack to utilize in a kick combination Takeo has incorporated this technique into his brutal close quarter’s style. Often used after softening the target with a few opening blows Takeo uses this kick to capitalize on any openings he has created. He starts by driving one knee into the air and then scissoring his legs to build momentum, striking with the opposite leg in a powerful kick often aimed at the temple. Due to his sheer control over his body Takeo can adjust the path of the kick even in mid-air allowing him to make adjustments that make guarding difficult, such as kicking twice with the same leg or soaring his leg over his opponents head to deliver a swift reverse strike to the opposite side of their head. He can even switch his body in mid-air to switch the kick to the other leg, making the technique quite adaptable and difficult to read.

The Future Hokage's Training Begins

Post by Director » Sun Nov 25, 2018 2:24 pm

Fanho felt the blade scrape across his cloak. While it didn't cut, nor really hurt. The brute force behind it was still jarring, he wondered if the Hokage still remembered not to kill him. Though to be fair, Fanho did deliver an attack that'd probably knock the Hokage off this huge cliff side so all things fair, yeah he could throw Fanho around a bit. The explosions at least had done their trick to put space, and allow Fanho to get the shuriken off. With Takeo being busy with that Fanho's teleportation technique had time to release as Fanho was immediately sent from his midair throw to behind Takeo as he ripped the kunai from behind buried under rubble. Takeo's beeline for Fanho was enough to tell the Awai that Takeo was able to tell where he was through the smoke and explosions. The ash and rubble flying through the air should've been enough to mask Fanho's scent, but his quips were definitely giving him away. Although that probably wouldn't stop the cocky hero from still talking mad amounts of smack, it was apart of his whole shtick. It undermines his opponent's confidence and focus that someone is able to fight them while being so annoying. It always brought a smile among Fanho's face.

Fanho still had enough in the reserves to keep going, but like Takeo Fanho's breaths were heavy and his actions were exerting lots of force. This amount of exertion was definitely tiring, but Fanho's stamina rivaled the Hokage's even so the two could be fairly matched for a war of attrition. However with the fuuinjutsu Fanho could feel more tugs on his chakra costs so he had to play it smart. His goal currently was to beat the Hokage. Albeit realistically it was a long stretch, Fanho could pressure him, and make him aware of his strength. At minimum Fanho's goal was to put a little fear into Takeo, and make him aware of his strengths. However Fanho was developing a taste for Takeo's own fighting style, and could tell he was an up-close fighter.

Being behind Takeo, Fanho had an upper hand as he charged with Rasengan in hand, kunai in the other. He prepared to launch the rasengan into Takeo's back to break the rest of his stone armor, and dig in a bit. With the Rasengan thrust forward Fanho slashed with the kunai in the other hand for Takeo's abdomen attempting for a gruesome cut as he'd bring his back leg around for an axe kick on-top of the Hokage's head. Fanho knew Takeo's strength was taijutsu, but Fanho's was nintai and if he could cut through the armor he could deal the damage he was seeking. That was the biggest hurdle Fanho needed to cross, and then Takeo's preference would be his weakness. "I'll just make sure to talk when I hit ya, so you can feel and hear where I'm at!"
Jutsu UsedShow
Ninjutsu • Rasengan
S-Rank Ninjutsu
After Fanho has began to channel chakra to his hand a blue ball of spinning rotating chakra appears in his hand no larger than the size of a basketball (0.5m in diameter). The Rasengan is a concentrated ball of fast rotating chakra in the palm of Fanho's hand. Using pure chakra, the spinning ball of chakra hits up to a strength of 35 that sends the target spiraling off into the distance. The only downside to this jutsu is that it requires the Rasengan to remain in Fanho's hand. This is the advanced version of the Runt Rasengan, and is typically reserved for higher level ninja.

Open Space: Blink
C-rank Ninjutsu
Pre-Requisite: Fuuinjutsu • Blink Tag, 35 Control
Fanho will channel chakra to his body as he focuses on one of his Fuuinjutsu • Blink Tag's which act as a conduit for this technique. As long as he focuses on a specific object or place tagged with this fuuinjutsu he can open space around himself and anything he is touching to teleport there instantly as long as its within 40 meters of himself.

Konoha Smash • Fool Me Once
B-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
After seeing a move done once in a battle whether it be a taijutsu maneuver, ninjutsu, or genjutsu, Fanho has already committed the actions to memory quickly being able to identify which jutsu or technique is being used. This means he can predict what attacks he should prepare for once he sees the wind-up for them. Only permitting if hes seen the technique done once before.
Jutsu Still in UseShow
Hiton • The Hokage's Cloak (7 Posts Left)
S-Ranked Ninjutsu
Pre-Requisite: 40 Ninjutsu, 35 Control
After channeling chakra Fanho will mold Hiton chakra into a solid form around his body causing him to appear blindingly grey with a haori forming on his body with the words 火 meaning Hokage inscribed on the back. The haori also features the Awai clan symbol on the back above the wording, with black lines extending from the shoulders of the haori to the ends of the sleeves. With two stripes on the front extending to the bottom from each shoulder. This chakra cloak forms at 30 speed with a strength of 50. This chakra cloak emits the Hiton passives outwards up to 70 meters, Fanho being the epicenter and unaffected by the passive. While in this jutsu Fanho can preform other jutsus, and the cloak only lasts for 10 posts before dissipating.

Fuuinjutsu • Full Cowling
B-Rank Augment Fuuinjutsu
Fanho will tattoo this fuuinjutsu on a person in the forms of thick lines on their body in an erratic pattern that takes up a decent amount of space as it weaves from the stomach around the chest to the shoulders, and then down to the pelvis, and with a B-rank's worth of chakra channeled they can activate it. Afterwards they can deactivate it with no cost. When activated this causes the fuuinjutsu to glow grey and create sparks of electricity and grow outwards, the fuuinjutsu line's growing on his body in an erratic pattern (This change is just aesthetic, this pattern also doesn't affect other fuuin). This fuuin gives the person a +5 to speed, a +4 to strength, and deducts a -9 to control.

Tighten Time: Inhuman Reactions (2nd Post)
C-rank Ninjutsu
Fanho will focus Jikukan chakra onto his perception allowing him to tighten time on his eyesight. This allows him to see things as if they were at 2/3rds their original speed. This gives him an edge over combatants, and allows him to deduce a pattern or technique quicker than normal by seeing a longer wind-up time. This lasts for 4 posts.

The Future Hokage's Training Begins

Post by Izanagi » Fri Feb 15, 2019 10:06 pm

The Hokage scrunched his face in surprise as the presence he detected disappeared a moment before he was able to deliver the knee strike. Given that there wasn’t contact and the tell-tale sound of a substitution jutsu being used he had to speculate that the young man had utilized Space-time ninjutsu. He knew Fanho was capable of such feats however he hadn’t quite realized how potent of a skill it was when paired with Hiton Ninjutsu. “Slippery bastard. You’ve become a real pain in the ass to fight, Fanho.” He grumbled. Having an Awai on his team was a great benefit though this was the first time he had sparred against one of such calibre. The fact that Fanho had already greatly surpassed Masuru was certainly a noteworthy accomplishment.

Likewise, Takeo was getting accustomed to the way his opponent fought. Powerful area of effect ninjutsu, layered explosive strikes for maximum damage output and hit and run tactics utilizing space-time ninjutsu. The young man countered Takeo quite well in fact and even the seasoned warrior was having some difficulty adapting to such a well layered combat strategy. The greatest detriment was of course that Hiton cloak which both limited his use of sight and forced him to keep a powerful armor in tact in order to fight to his strengths. He had taken some damage and knew that he couldn’t afford to let Fanho hit him with another one of his combinations, not while that cloak was still in effect. He could fight from a distance if absolutely necessary, but it wasn’t his preference. He enjoyed the rush of adrenaline fighting up close and taking damage, feeling pain and knowing that one wrong move could mean his death.

There was something else he could try out however. Genjutsu. For Fanho to be this skilled in Ninjutsu and even boast above average physical skill for a Jounin it reasoned that he might be susceptible to genjutsu. The problem was that currently the Hokage’s arsenal was rather limited, the majority of his techniques requiring eye contact as a trigger. It was something he was planning on expanding though it had been put off for too long. He did however have a few tactics he could work in. When Fanho teleported away the Hokage took a brief moment to determine if he was immediately within range, listening for his heartbeat and movements and keeping his nose keen for his scent. He determined that there was at least 25 meters between them and so began forming seals as Fanho channeled chakra for his Rasengan. As Fanho ran towards him Takeo would complete his handseals, hearing the footsteps and heartbeat of his opponent as he neared as well as the sound of chakra swirling in his hand. Breaking off in a quick burst of speed Takeo would force Fanho to chase after him. To his surprise Fanho would be able to maintain pace but not close the distance any further. ‘Impressive but let’s see how you deal with this’ he thought as he withdrew a kunai, pivoting his body and tossing the weapon full strength at Fanho’s chest. The drawing motion would activate the genjutsu so that regardless if the Kunai struck or not Fanho would feel a gut-wrenching pain in his abdomen, as if his insides were being torn open. This pain would persist for quite some time and hopefully give Takeo a much-needed advantage.
Jutsu UsedShow
Rats under the Skin
A-Rank Illusion Genjutsu
After forming the necessary hand seals Takeo will draw a kunai, witnessing this motion will initiate the genjutsu in his target(s). Suddenly the victim will feel an unsettling movement in their abdomen, steadily growing more frantic like a large rat is trapped in their stomach. Other such sensations will manifest and soon it will feel as if several rats are scratching and biting their way through the targets organs and intestines, frantically searching for an exit. Much of the pressure will be on the abdominal wall itself causing crippling pain unlike what most could imagine. These sensations will continue for 5 posts making this genjutsu an ideal technique for torture.

The Future Hokage's Training Begins

Post by Director » Sun Mar 03, 2019 10:55 pm

Fanho watched as Takeo took off in a blitz forward drawing a kunai. He could tell there were handseals, but not what they were for. Only seconds after did Fanho discover the pain that laid within as the gut wrenching began. He easily side stepped the kunai seeing it whip by, but the pain made Fanho misstep and stutter. After the stutter Fanho shook his head and bit his lip til blood was drawn. The pain was agonizing, and he needed to take a minute to analyze. Takeo wanted him to follow, as its why he took off. From here Fanho didn't need to follow him. His cloak was on a timer similar to Fanho's own, and they'd both be down to a brutal beat down afterwards. With this in mind Fanho stopped as he let the rasengan dissipate. He had deemed this pain to be more than likely a genjutsu. The kunai didn't hit, and the pain in his abdomen didn't feel like a stabbing kunai, that would've been preferable and more manageable. This pain was more torturing, agonizing, and brutal as it felt like gnawing at his abdomen with wood chipper like effects as it grinded turning his intestines into sausages. If this genjutsu was going to put Fanho in a corner, he'd stand ground in the corner rather than let himself be led to a mouse trap.

He had the idea to cut the genjutsu early with a Jikukan technique, it would be the best to get this agonizing pain over with quicker. His organs felt like they were being eaten alive, or at least put through a paper shredder. None-the-less he had to play keep away for a bit, but if Takeo decided to come closer, Fanho would just have to be unrelenting instead of giving him an avenue to escape. With this in mind, his Space/Time jutsu turned off, but he felt confident he had acclimated to the battle he wouldn't need it anymore. Especially after reading all of Takeo's recent moves. He took this time to focus more on the pain he felt as he channeled chakra within him speeding up Takeo's jutsu as all the pain hit at once bringing him down to a knee as he puked slightly with it all hitting brutally at once, now he'd just have to endure for the time being as the last bit left while he made a stand as the sharp spike in pain fell, but the gnawing would persist (til the end of this post).

Being specific this jutsu doesn't work on any poisons, debuffs, or ninjutsus affecting Fanho, just purely Genjutsu. Fanho must be aware he is in a Genjutsu to use this jutsu.

Takeo felt a sudden shift in the tide of battle as Fanho succumbed to the Genjutsu. Finally there was an opportunity to take a decisive advantage. He wasn’t sure how long he had, uncertain if Fanho had any tricks up his sleeve for escaping relatively high level Genjutsu. He wasn’t about to let such an opportunity slip out from under him however. At this distance of 25 meters Takeo would stop and spin in place, forming handseals as he realized that Fanho had dropped to a knee. Part of him wanted to rush in an attempt to overwhelm him in close quarters though given how he had fought thus far it seemed likely that Fanho would anticipate this and it was possible he was even baiting him into an attack, shifting back to close range after Takeo had managed to create some distance again. It was a gamble and he wasn’t certain which would have been the better choice though he only had a split second to decide and had went with his gut feeling, deciding to proceed with a degree of caution. He had underestimated Fanho greatly over the course of the battle and even if it meant using another significant portion of chakra he had to make an attempt to secure Fanho.

He knew that Jikuton techniques required a cooldown of sorts and seeing as how Fanho had just teleported prior to his Genjutsu taking effect this should have been an optimal time to restrain him. As the Hokage neared the end of his sequence he kept careful tabs on the distance of his opponent, advancing to about 15 meters away before the jutsu activated. Even if the stone chains did manage to restrain Fanho he knew that they wouldn’t be nearly as effective against him as it would be versus most opponents. The ability to channel advanced ninjutsu was a useful skill, though given the pain of the genjutsu and the powerful chains, which given his previous taijutsu exchange he determined should be strong enough to overpower Fanho he anticipated the combination would be enough to severely limit the young Hokage candidates ability to effectively respond. Moreover the chains themselves would employ spikes which would put some strain on the Hiton armor surrounding the skilled Jounin.

Assuming it seemed the chains would be able to envelop Fanho effectively and deploy their spikes with the additional handseal, Takeo would continue to charge in to close the distance. Honing in on the sound of his opponents heartbeat, the strained breathing and even the smell of vomit still dripping from his mouth he would aim to reach out and cup the back of Fanho’s neck (likely also placing his hand over a stone chain) securing his target further and minimizing the chance of missing to next to nothing as he utilized the speed and momentum of his charge and his own strength to deliver a powerful elbow to Fanho’s jaw. With this strike he would also encompass the entire power of his flame armor, delivering 16 exploding tags worth of force in the form of a violent eruption of fire that would completely engulf Fanho’s head and cause a large swath of destruction behind his target in a linear fashion, finishing the combo would be a swift knee to the ribs. This should have been enough to destroy Fanho’s armor even at the cost of his own cloak of sorts though even if it all landed something told him it wouldn’t quite be enough to knock Fanho out. The kid was surely as resilient as he was crafty and it would have been far too optimistic to expect a full turn around.
Jutsu UsedShow
Doton • Legendary Chains of Imprisonment
S-Rank Ninjutsu
Prerequisite: 45 Ninjutsu
This ultimate binding technique requires that Takeo be within 25 meters of the target. After forming the necessary seals up to 6 lengths of stone chain-links will blitz out of the ground at a speed of 50. Unlike some jutsu of this fashion the chains are not fully controllable. Rather they are aimed at a specific target and then they rapidly move to immobilize the target, automatically looping around arms, legs, waist and neck and even any weapons they might be wielding. The chains will pursue a target in a linear fashion though are unable to form complex maneuvers. These chains can extend as long as necessary in order to ensnare the victim depending on their height and girth; typically this technique is used as a last resort in order to ensnare opponents of remarkable physical abilities. Performing an additional hand seal will cause deadly spikes to grow from the chains, fully impaling the target. A strength of 40 is required to break free.

Iron Grip
B-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Having trained his forearms and grip strength to remarkable levels Takeo is capable of grasping opponents in unyielding holds. So long as his strength is at least 5 higher than his opponents Taijutsu+Strength/2 they will be unable to break free of his grasp through traditional means. This technique serves as a basic set-up for many of his strike combinations.

Elbow strikes
D-rank Taijutsu Maneuver
A vicious close range tactic, Takeo has incorporated the use of his elbows to deadly efficiency. Once in close range Takeo can lash out with elbow strikes from a multitude of angles at a rapid pace. Due to the ferocity of the strikes and the density of the elbow it is quite common to cause deep cuts to the face and if Takeo's strength 5 or more higher than his opponents it is possible to crack an opponent’s jaw or break their nose. These strikes are especially deadly if the opponent has been brought into a clinch and have either their head or arm trapped. Of course the user risks damaging their elbows if a particularly dense surface is struck.

Aura of Sakuretsu depleted (16 tags worth of explosive flames)

Knee strikes
D-rank Taijutsu Maneuver
A simple yet devastating method of attacking. Typically used when in some sort of clinch Takeo will unleash a vicious assault of knee strikes, attacking the stomach, kidneys, groan, or face in varying combinations. Depending on where the opponent is struck if Takeo’s strength is 5 or more higher than his opponents these strikes are quite capable of cracking ribs or even doing moderate internal damage. Of course the user risks damaging their knees if a particularly dense surface is struck.

Hiton cloak no longer does ranged damage, its still bright, but it only burns on contact. Also gonna play with new stats cause I don't remember what the old ones we're if that's cool with you.
As Fanho watched Takeo rushed towards him, his eyes had acclimated, and he saw the man in full motion. Easily able to keep up with him Fanho watched as the doton began to rise from the ground reaching to take hold, as the doton grasped around Fanho's legs working its way up he 'dropped' his kunai as it flung itself just 10 meters away from the duo as Takeo now quickly positioned himself behind Fanho. Luckily the pain had disappeared as quickly as it came giving just enough leeway for Takeo take the seeming advantage, but as fast as it presented itself the door quickly closed on the Hokage's face. The spikes digging into Fanho's armor caused enough damage it was cracking under the pressure, and any more high level damage would reduce it quickly. However Fanho had no intentions of taking Takeo's follow up attacks. As he felt the heat growing behind his head, Fanho channeled chakra as he blinked to his kunai he had tossed earlier in the heat of getting caught.

The timer had expired, and allowed Fanho using one more get out of jail free card. Getting away in the nick of time to allow the Hokage to waste his fire cloak on him attempting to blast the young future dashing Hokage into oblivion. As Fanho was now in prime position he wasted no time as the pain in his gut was gone, and he now held an advantage sprinting at Takeo with a speed that was nothing more than a blur to the Hokage. Fanho pushed his legs to optimal speed, faster than the Hokage would have time to see him before launching a staunch kick to his opponents gut launching him into the hair slightly. With each kick followed up another until Fanho had Takeo 19 meters in the air as he whipped around delivering a flip axe kick straight into the wolf man that'd send him flying to the ground causing an earth shattering blow that should've dealt with all of the doton armor. If all had went well he hoped the rock armor that the Hokage was clad in had shattered due to the damage. "You're getting slower old man." Fanho ushered his cocky statement with a wide grin. He had the chakra to go on, and his control was near infinite with the ability to waste not even a shred. The young Jounin's taijutsu was nothing to laugh at either, as it was something he was certainly excellent in. At this point he had to figure he was the fastest shinobi in the village with everything in tow and considered.

Once Fanho is in-front of his opponent he will perform a bicycle kick knocking his opponent higher into the air with each kick, the opponent will be launched 1/2rd [Strength] meters in the air due to the kicks. As Fanho reaches the peak with his target he will quickly spin around to on-top of the target as he flips into an axe kick launching his opponent back into the ground. The opponent will be struck with Fanho's full strength axe kick sending them to the ground at [Strength] speed, and if the opponent strikes the ground they will be hit with 2/3rds [Strength] due to the sheer force of hitting the ground.

While in this jutsu Fanho can preform other jutsus, and the cloak only lasts for 10 posts before dissipating.

Fuuinjutsu • Full Cowling
B-Rank Augment Fuuinjutsu
Fanho will tattoo this fuuinjutsu on a person in the forms of thick lines on their body in an erratic pattern that takes up a decent amount of space as it weaves from the stomach around the chest to the shoulders, and then down to the pelvis, and with a B-rank's worth of chakra channeled they can activate it. Afterwards they can deactivate it with no cost. When activated this causes the fuuinjutsu to glow grey and create sparks of electricity and grow outwards, the fuuinjutsu line's growing on his body in an erratic pattern (This change is just aesthetic, this pattern also doesn't affect other fuuin). This fuuin gives the person a +5 to speed, a +4 to strength, and deducts a -9 to control.

The Future Hokage's Training Begins

Post by Izanagi » Sun Aug 11, 2019 4:53 pm

As Takeo’s elbow met with air just at the moment of the flames release he knew instantly what had happened. “Damn it” he cursed, not only had he misjudged the cooldown period of Fanho’s teleportation technique but evidently he had also been able to dispel the Genjutsu that had meant to greatly hinder his combat ability. As a result Takeo had wasted two powerful jutsu. It seemed that fighting blind against an opponent of similar skill was much more difficult than anticipated. He was starting to make rash decisions in an effort to overwhelm his opponents infuriating Hiton shield. If he could at least utilize his sight then it would be much easier to anticipate oncoming attacks and coordinate his own maneuvers. In the instant of the explosion for example the Hokage was left briefly completely vulnerable. The deafening sound of the explosive strike blocked out his hearing and even his scent was assailed by overwhelming heat. Though even if he had been able to see the counter attack was so fast that he would have only been able to partially defend it would have been preferable to being completely at Fanho’s mercy for a few brief moments and that was all it took.

The bearded warrior felt the kick knock him into the air, followed by a series of other kicks increasing his elevation. He recognized the technique or at very least the concept of the maneuver as being similar to a strategy used in the Strong Fist style of fighting. It was a combination that his student Yoru had used against him on many occasions. In fact the young red-haired Bannin was remarkably similar to the up and coming Hokage candidate of the Awai clan. Both boasting the same unfathomable speed and potent use of Space-Time Ninjutsu. In a way however Fanho was a more difficult opponent for him however, given the usage of Hiton jutsu, namely the defensive cloak which was quite different from the way Yoru fought and thus different from what Takeo was used to sparring against. He was sure that without the cloak of light he would be able to defeat Fanho, though not without difficulty.

And so as he received the many kicks Takeo had began to build up power for a devastating strike, already deciding he had no choice but to sacrifice his second layer of defence as well for another opportunity to shed Fanho’s defense. If all went according to plan they would finally be on a roughly even playing field though Fanho still had considerably more chakra left than Takeo. As the young Jounin hit Takeo with the axe kick knocking him back towards the earth Takeo released the power his muscles had been priming up. A powerful punch beyond anything he had shown himself capable of thus far. He didn’t often resort to the use of pseudo-heavenly taijutsu, considering it too flashy and physically draining to use flippantly compared to his preferred brutal and efficient CQC techniques. This blast of compressed air would burst forward, aimed directly above Takeo and toward Fanho as the Hokage plummeted toward the ground. He was sure this time he wouldn’t be able to teleport away and given the wide sweeping range of the winds it would be incredibly difficult to avoid. Theoretically Fanho’s speed should have been rendered inapplicable given that he was in mid-air. The wave of wind would strike with 45 Speed and Strength, hopefully shattering Fanho’s damaged armor and sending him hurtling high into the sky, likely to an elevation of hundreds of meters.

As Takeo collided with the ground with a heavy smash his own armor would fail, the dark brown coloration fading from his skin as his pigment returned to normal. Opening his eyes for the first time since the beginning of the match, the Hokage anticipated Fanho would have been propelled more than far enough away even if his Hiton armor somehow miraculously survived the impact. He needed to be able to see what was coming now that his opponent was sure to be quite a distance away and in the air. Breathing heavily Takeo would roll backwards and to his feet, taking a few seconds to collect himself and rest as he considered his next move. He had to be careful with his chakra expenditure from here on out, evaluating that he was roughly down to about 35% of his reserves whereas Fanho likely still had at least 60% of his own reserves and a larger total pool of chakra to begin with. Therefore he had to assume Fanho had at least twice as much chakra left that he did. “He’s really something. I never imagined he would have become this strong already” he muttered to himself, looking up at the sky and hoping to determine where his opponent ended up.

The Future Hokage's Training Begins

Post by Director » Sun Aug 11, 2019 6:10 pm

As Fanho was still in the sky after launching the Hokage to the ground, there wasn't much he could do to prevent the oncoming wall of air that Takeo had sent. The young Jounin gritted his teeth as the wave shattered the armor whipping Fanho multiple times leaving massive bruises and carrying him slightly higher into the air. As the air dissipated carrying him to the extent of its height Fanho peered down as he kept his eyes peeled on Takeo. Being high in the air wasn't something Fanho would fear, in-fact it was possibly an advantage. While being high in the air Fanho coated himself in another layer of Hiton chakra instead of it being a full solid shroud, it was just a light layer that provided him with the substantial ability to fly. A tool he could use to coast back to the ground quickly, and dodge anything Takeo would have to throw at him.

So this was fighting the Hokage. After all was said and done, Fanho could see the progress he had made, the journey that led him to this spot, and he could not feel any more blessed or ecstatic to see it was within his grasp. It was a hard fought battle so far, and had allowed Fanho to try out different techniques and jutsu he had been hiding up his sleeve. For something Fanho had debated if he had the skills for such a fight, he wasn't even aware of Takeo's full power, and he had only seen glimpses. However this was a good litmus test for Fanho's own worth, and proving to the Hokage and others that Fanho would be the next person to take the mantle. The goal at first wasn't to beat the Hokage, but prove Fanho's strength and determination. However as the fight had grown from banter to a full blown out knuckle dragging fight, Fanho had built resolve within him to beat the Hokage now. He grit his teeth in determination as the wind whipped his face the face of determination contorted into a toothy smile that for most people in a situation of such a scale of battle would seem ludicrous in nature, being able to smile in the face of such an overwhelming threat. The power of a Hokage, this was the stage he was on, and be damned if he wouldn't step to the plate to answer the call.

"I'm going to win this Takeo! If this is what it takes, I'll go past my limits, and surpass you!" The young teen's crazed smile and laughter filled the air overwhelmingly so over the sounds of the battle and whipping speeds of jutsu, shrapnel, and rocks hurtling everywhere. Clear as day the determination had been made clear.

With the cloak shrouding him he sped off towards the ground a wave of pressurized air forming behind him as the crack of the sound barrier echo'd out across the plateau. His speed in the air was just as fast as when he was on the ground. As he approached the ground Fanho began building up energy within his body as lightning crackling over him, very clear it was not a raiton technique, and lines grew over his body. It was clear something was building in Fanho's body. As he sped towards the ground Fanho flicked two of his own bullets at Takeo from the sky, much slower than Takeo's with his own at 26 speed and strength, but using both hands allowed him to fire off in rapid succession at least three to pin Takeo down and keep him from escaping due to the large area they covered of 10x10x10 meters. Just as Fanho neared the ground he'd transition his flying into a front flipping axe kick attempting to land it on-top of Takeo, if he had missed the ground shattering underneath in a large 25 meter radius would provide good cover for a follow up attack.
Jutsu UsedShow
Hiton • Light as Light
A-rank Ninjutsu
By channeling chakra around him, Fanho can create an aura of hiton around him (Non-Blinding) that grants him the ability to fly by being weightless like light. He can fly at a speed equal to his own to a max of his control. He must follow flight rules. This cloak doesn't have a durability which it defends him at, but if it sustains a hit of 25 strength or more it will cause the aura to dissipate relinquishing Fanho's ability to fly. If not destroyed, this jutsu lasts for a total of 7 posts.


Konoha Smash • Fire Smash x3
A-Rank Maneuver
Prerequisites: 35 Strength
Fanho will form his hand in prep for a flicking motion. As he builds up strength and releases the flick it will shoot a dense air pocket in the form of a 10m*10m*10m bullet that moves and strikes at 2/3rds [Strength] rounded up Fanho delivers it at. The air becomes so dense it will cause 2nd degree burns on impact. The dense bullet of air will travel up to 2/3rds [Taijutsu] rounded up in meters before dissipating.

Konoha Smash • Shoot Style: Axe Kick
A-Rank Maneuver
Fanho will lift his leg high up above his head due to his acrobatic ability, and bring it straight down ontop of his target. With the appropriate strength Fanho is able to crush his opponents. When the Axe Kick hits the ground it will cause minor quakes in a diameter of 1/2 [Speed] rounded up meters out, with a strength of 3/4th [Strength] rounded up that will cause anyone with lower [Taijutsu] than the [Strength] to stumble and have difficulties staying balanced.
Jutsu ActiveShow
Will of Fire has began charging kinetic energy and strength. 1st post, 10 strength built up.

Fuuinjutsu • Full Cowling
B-Rank Augment Fuuinjutsu
Fanho will tattoo this fuuinjutsu on a person in the forms of thick lines on their body in an erratic pattern that takes up a decent amount of space as it weaves from the stomach around the chest to the shoulders, and then down to the pelvis, and with a B-rank's worth of chakra channeled they can activate it. Afterwards they can deactivate it with no cost. When activated this causes the fuuinjutsu to glow grey and create sparks of electricity and grow outwards, the fuuinjutsu line's growing on his body in an erratic pattern (This change is just aesthetic, this pattern also doesn't affect other fuuin). This fuuin gives the person a +5 to speed, a +4 to strength, and deducts a -9 to control.

OOCShow
Fanho is moving at 41 Speed because you still have that -9 Control as long as your Full Cowling is active and 33 Strength assuming he is hit by weaken.
Takeo’s brief respite would soon come to an end as he noticed Fanho evidently flying towards him, though at a more manageable yet still impressive speed. “Of course you’d have a jutsu for that” he muttered in disbelief at his level of preparation. Truly he had more impressive contingencies than the Hokage himself, despite the older man having a much larger repertoire of jutsu. The problem was he didn’t have the chakra reserves to utilize more than even half of his most powerful jutsu within the span of a single fight. It was both a blessing and a curse, for there were always techniques hidden up his sleeve that nobody had ever witnessed him perform before but he also had to be very careful in selecting what strategies and jutsu to utilize which required much more mental preparation than someone who relied on a more simple and effective fighting style. Fanho seemed to blend power, simplicity and forethought to a awe-inspiring extent, giving the impression of combat experience well beyond his limited years.

Luckily the Hiton armor had been dissipated and Fanho had opted to close to the distance rather than attack with powerful ninjutsu from a distance. His words about desiring to defeat the Hokage in battle certainly struck home and Takeo had no doubt in his mind now that losing to Fanho was a distinct possibility. Like the teenager however he was determined to fight with everything he had until the very end. Now that he could see and the powerful defensive jutsu each man had relied on were no longer a factor the Hokage could finally demonstrate his true prowess in close quarters fighting. Relaxing his posture the man entered a state of heightened perception and reaction time, his optimal stance for Taijutsu fighting. So too did his mind become clearer, allowing him better strategic planning and control over the battle. As the wind blasts approached him, Takeo casually tossed a shuriken into them, verifying they were weak enough to be of little consequence as the metal passed through the blast easily and would surely be subsequently dodged by Fanho. Next Takeo would perform a short sequence of hand seals as Fanho approached with a flipping kick.

It was his turn to see Fanho as if he was moving in slow motion, slipping out of the path of the kick effortlessly as his hand lashed out, glowing a faint green as he grasped the ankle that passed by his body. Upon contact Fanho’s muscles throughout his entire body would weaken, ensuring greater success in the actions to come. Pulling the young Jounin down and spinning to the side he would force Fanho to the ground fueled by his own momentum and added by the strength of Takeo. As Fanho passed by him he would lash out with his other hand to grip Fanho’s left arm, holding it tight against his body for greater control as he aimed to slam the young Jounin face first into the ground with tremendous force. From there Takeo would knee him in the spine with enough force to break bones and drive his weight on him, pinning him to the ground as he forced Fanho’s left arm into a shoulder lock, still gripping his wrist with unyielding force, twisting and yanking the arm with enough force to pull it out of its socket and rip and tear apart the connecting ligaments in an excruciatingly painful manner.
Jutsu UsedShow
Mind like Water
A-Rank Taijutsu Stance
Focusing on a relaxed state of mind and standing in a neutral position of his hands at his sides and feet shoulder width apart Takeo can enter a state of enhanced perception and reaction time. While using this stance the mans movements tend to be much more fluid, flowing like water around his opponents and focussing highly on counter attacks and utilizing an opponents force and momentum against them making this an ideal stance for fighting multiple opponents or dealing with a particularly fast or aggressive opponent. +5 Taijutsu, +5 Instinct, -5 Ninjutsu, - 5 Control.

[Iijutsu • Weaken]
B-rank Ninjutsu
After forming the necessary handseals Takeo will make contact with his target, flowing chakra into to their body and directly weakening their muscles. The opponent will feel immediately sluggish and weak reducing their strength by 6 for a duration of 5 posts.

Slight Dodge
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
A skill derived from boxing Takeo has learned to utilize his head and body movements to maximum efficiency. So long as his Instinct+Speed/2 is higher than his opponents Taijutsu+Speed/2 he can make minor bobs and weaves out of the path of most basic strikes and linear projectiles, often allowing him to capitalize on counters based on the openings that a miss provides.

Redirect
D-Ranked Taijutsu Maneuver
A basic skill for the Krav maga style, Redirect is used mostly against stabbing attacks or straight on punches, though it can be employed against other types of attacks if need be, albeit with less expected success depending on the situation. When an attack comes close to the user, he will bring his arm across his body, aiming to connect his palm with the side of the attack, usually a wrist or the shaft of a spear or something of the like. Unless the opponent's strength is higher than the user's strength, the attack will be directed to the side, often opening the opponent up to attack.

Iron Grip
B-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Having trained his forearms and grip strength to remarkable levels Takeo is capable of grasping opponents in unyielding holds. So long as his strength is at least 5 higher than his opponents Taijutsu+Strength/2 they will be unable to break free of his grasp through traditional means. This technique serves as a basic set-up for many of his strike combinations.

Colliding worlds
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
When in close range Takeo will cup either an opponent’s head or control them under their arm, he will then spin and turn their body in a wheel like fashion, hurtling them towards a wall or additional opponents will devastating force. Often this technique is used against charging opponents, utilizing their own momentum against them, however this can be used against a stationary target as well though in such a case the opponent can resist if their strength is equal to or greater than Takeo’s.

Arm Trap
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
A counter technique used either in grappling or in defense against a striking opponent, so long as Takeo’s Instinct+Speed/2 is higher than his opponents Taijutsu+Speed/2 he can grab an opponent’s wrist from a near miss and use that control to pin their arm against his neck/shoulder area or body, assuming that his strength is higher than his opponents. This can be used to set up a wide array of counter attacks depending on the situation.

Knee strikes
D-rank Taijutsu Maneuver
A simple yet devastating method of attacking. Typically used when in some sort of clinch Takeo will unleash a vicious assault of knee strikes, attacking the stomach, kidneys, groan, or face in varying combinations. Depending on where the opponent is struck if Takeo’s strength is 5 or more higher than his opponents these strikes are quite capable of cracking ribs or even doing moderate internal damage. Of course the user risks damaging their knees if a particularly dense surface is struck.

Shoulder Lock
B-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Another versatile technique Takeo can apply a wide range of different variations of shoulder locks. The most common version is a standing attack, after gaining control of an opponent’s wrist he will bend their arm behind their back, requiring a strength stat greater than his opponents to secure the hold. Once behind their back his other arm will loop through their bend arm, securing a grip on his own wrist as he locks in the hold. From there he can easily apply pressure, forcing the opponent face first into the ground from the pressure. Continuing to bend their arm behind their back he can dislocate their shoulder as long as his strength is at least 5 higher than theirs, 10 higher and he can tear muscle and ligaments making using the arm incredibly painful and difficult and with a difference of 15 or more he can opt to brutally rip the limb from the opponents body.

The Future Hokage's Training Begins

Post by Director » Sun Aug 11, 2019 8:40 pm

Despite Fanho's dive and quick speed maneuvering around the shuriken. Takeo had taken advantage of the downside of Fanho's fuuinjutsu which affected the speed at which the young Jounin could fly at. As Takeo's hand made contact with Fanho's ankle, the boy quickly felt strength slip from his muscles as they released tension making the kick slightly weaker. Shortly followed by Takeo grabbing Fanho's left arm as his face became one with the earth. As the earth cracked and Fanho lip poured blood onto the earth, Takeo now driving his knee into Fanho's spine as he felt fractures along his spine. The pain was terrible, however so would losing to the Hokage after making such a declaration of beating him. As Fanho felt the strain of his body underneath Takeo's his right arm was still free. With quick thinking Fanho channeled large amounts of purple chakra as it coated his hand and grasped Takeo's right thigh digging his fingers as deep as they could into the man's flesh even if it was unnecessary he wanted to make sure his grip was secure for what was about to occur. After all his right arm was the only thing that didn't feel broken. With his flight jutsu broken Fanho didn't have any plans to keep in the air.

Takeo's clothing would immediately decay withering away into dust as the skin began to flake away dying off, and then the muscle tissue would start to wither and die as it decayed. This technique was a very destructive one, not something that Fanho was proud of it. It was quite a morbid technique accelerating someone's body to the point it decays and falls apart. It was something you'd see a villain use in a shounen manga, but here Fanho wanted to teach Takeo the danger's of getting in close and thinking that he'd have the high ground. If nothing we're to be done soon Takeo's thigh would've rotted to the bone. The Hokage would have to act quickly if he didn't want his leg to be stripped of the muscle and skin that surrounded it. "You shouldn't get in too close without a backup plan." Fanho's smile showed through the grit of dirt and blood that caked his teeth as his fingers dug in more with the muscle withering away.

Fanho began to channel Jikukan chakra throughout his body as the speed of which he healed was rapidly accelerated. The bones we're close to mending only now being minor fractures same with his arm as it bent back into shape being minor fractures. For Takeo his right leg would be very difficult to maneuver losing the ability to pull his knee from the pelvis, all the muscle control in his right leg would be shot as the it began to wither away. Fanho would still be in pain as he healed, but after this he'd be completely healed and still in the fight. His bruises, scrapes, and superficial wounds would disappear immediately sealing as quick as they had happened.
Jutsu UsedShow
Tighten Time: Accelerated Decay
A-rank Ninjutsu
Focusing chakra to his hands, Fanho's hands will glow with a midnight blue hue. During this time any object or person Fanho touches he can age it significantly by turning any unchakra reinforced objects to dust, and for people he can cause minor decay such as moderate necrosis down to major muscle groups, but no deeper than that. This technique lasts for 5 posts, and to cause the decay, Fanho can turn objects into dust immediately, but for people he must sustain one full post of contact.


Tighten Time: Regeneration
A-rank Ninjutsu
By channeling chakra throughout his body Fanho will tighten the time on his bodily processes increasing his bodies natural healing process. This will give him enhanced regeneration time reducing all stamina based regeneration by -3 posts. This tightening of time lasts for 5 posts before returning his bodies natural healing process.
Jutsu ActiveShow

Fanho will tattoo this fuuinjutsu on a person in the forms of thick lines on their body in an erratic pattern that takes up a decent amount of space as it weaves from the stomach around the chest to the shoulders, and then down to the pelvis, and with a B-rank's worth of chakra channeled they can activate it. Afterwards they can deactivate it with no cost. When activated this causes the fuuinjutsu to glow grey and create sparks of electricity and grow outwards, the fuuinjutsu line's growing on his body in an erratic pattern (This change is just aesthetic, this pattern also doesn't affect other fuuin). This fuuin gives the person a +5 to speed, a +4 to strength, and deducts a -9 to control.

The Future Hokage's Training Begins

Post by Izanagi » Sun Aug 11, 2019 10:29 pm

Takeo felt Fanho’s spine break under his knee and his shoulder pop and tear as he nearly ripped the arm right off his body. It was a type of ferocity he had never before utilized on a fellow leaf shinobi. He had always held back and pulled his punches at the last minute, even against Yoru and Aina when he felt his attack would cause any kind of excruciating pain. Perhaps it was because he knew Fanho wanted to take his title that he wished to push him as far as he could, to test without restraint to see what kind of grit and resolve he possessed. Fanho would soon realize how much of a monster Takeo could be when it really came down to it. When he was truly pushed to his limits, when he felt the blood rush of putting his life on the line the animal within emerged. So it was that as he felt Fanho’s hand dig into his thigh that he knew he had to make his opponent suffer while he had this advantage. Instinctively green chakra amassed in his thigh as the fabric deteriorated. ‘Sankaton?’ he assumed, surprised only by the unique purple color the aura around Fanho’s hand had taken on.

The Raging Wolf of Konoha’s teeth gritted in pain as he felt his muscles in his thigh breaking down, though his own chakra fought against it, speeding up his own natural healing process and helping to keep the unique Space-Time jutsu at bay. Most people, even advanced shinobi would have leaped back at such an attack, a basic self-preservation instinct against an unfamiliar and obviously dangerous technique. However, Takeo was not most people. He was a hardened warrior through and through and if anything he performed better when the stakes were high, when he suffered heavy wounds and felt pain coursing through his body. Withdrawing his left arm while still using his right to pin Fanho’s left arm against his back, Takeo pivoted on the point of his knee before switching to press his left knee against Fanho’s back as his right leg attempted to straighten out for balance, utilizing a simply Jiu-jitsu maneuver to position himself on the other side of Fanho while still keeping full pressure on his flattened opponent, preventing any chance of escaping. As he moved he would drag Fanho’s left arm down his body and across his neck, holding it tightly in a partial choke. While in this position Takeo had the distinct advantage of superior strength and technique, moreover the better control he had of Fanho’s limbs the less of a factor his opponents Speed would be. In this close and movement speed meant next to nothing.

On the right side of Fanho’s body now he would grip Fanho’s right wrist with his left hand, bending his arm in a similar fashion as the first shoulder lock though with only the one hand controlling it. The intent would be to force Fanho’s glowing hand against the back of his own neck, deteriorating essential for most movements. Most likely Fanho would opt to deactivate the technique. From Takeo would have attempted to choke out most lower level opponents, though with Fanho’s Stamina and hardniness he figured it would be futile to attempt such a thing before he was able to simply teleport away once more. Instead the Hokage opted to inflict maximum damage while he could. “Up close is my domain Fanho, never forget that!” he growled as he spun on his knee, digging in to the injured spine once more as he released Fanho’s left arm(wrapped around Fanho’s neck), reaching up to unsheathe the wakizashi from across his back and deliver a powerful blow across Fanho’s hamstings, aiming to cut off his legs at the knees before shoving hard with his left hand and pushing off with his outstretched foot to quickly leap backwards and into a roll before coming to his feet. His right leg was still in a great deal of pain but the regeneration was enough to keep the muscle functional.
Jutsu UsedShow
*[Iijutsu • Secret Healing Injury Destruction]
A-Ranked Ninjutsu
An advanced technique that requires both quick reflexes and prediction, the *[Iijutsu • Secret Healing Injury Destruction]technique is highly formidable due to its effects. In the event that the user is aware that they will be hit in a specific place, s/he may attempt to focus chakra into that area before the strike connects. If successful, any damage to the damaged area will immediately begin to regenerate, be it a bruise, small fracture, or a small-to-moderate cut. These wounds can take up to one (1) post to heal fully depending on their size and severity, where fractures and moderate wounds would take the entire post. However, during this regeneration process, users are not rendered immobile and can continue to fight while their wounds regenerate. This technique can only be used a maximum of three (3) times per thread.

Iron Grip
B-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Having trained his forearms and grip strength to remarkable levels Takeo is capable of grasping opponents in unyielding holds. So long as his strength is at least 5 higher than his opponents Taijutsu+Strength/2 they will be unable to break free of his grasp through traditional means. This technique serves as a basic set-up for many of his strike combinations.

A fundamental skill for Takeo’s more deadly and unpredictable maneuvers, through rigorous practice a user can perfect the skill of rolling, serving a variety of purposes. This particular style of rolling focusses on fast paced combat, used offensively or defensively the user can seamlessly drop low into a roll, forwards, backwards or sideways from a standing or running start or even in response to being forcefully shoved backwards. Naturally due to the high amounts of force the user must be adept at dispersing the impact of the roll, this is done by dropping into a squat, then distributing the impact momentarily at the knee then across each shoulder in quick succession.

Mind like Water
A-Rank Taijutsu Stance
Focusing on a relaxed state of mind and standing in a neutral position of his hands at his sides and feet shoulder width apart Takeo can enter a state of enhanced perception and reaction time. While using this stance the mans movements tend to be much more fluid, flowing like water around his opponents and focussing highly on counter attacks and utilizing an opponents force and momentum against them making this an ideal stance for fighting multiple opponents or dealing with a particularly fast or aggressive opponent. +5 Taijutsu, +5 Instinct, -5 Ninjutsu, - 5 Control.

The Future Hokage's Training Begins

Post by Director » Sun Aug 11, 2019 10:51 pm

As quickly as Takeo began to heal Fanho kept his hand dug into the Hokage's thigh just as he pulled his hand off, and attempted to force Fanho to tear apart his own body and neck Fanho deactivated the technique to prevent from decaying his own body and neck. While Takeo did have the advantage Fanho still had other tricks up his sleeve. As his own hand patted his neck, the chakra ceased seconds before touching himself to prevent great harm. As the Hokage's knee dug further into his spine his spine had repaired in the least, and only the searing pain of having the knee jabbed there hurt. The great fractures and spine break had healed for the most part remaining only hairline fractures that we're sealing in mere seconds. However just before having his knees slapped Fanho had made the count down appropriate, and blinked back to his kunai about 60 meters away as he quickly rolled to his legs whipping his kunai back up with his unhurt right arm. His left arm now finishing healing was also useful.

Just as the Hokage's sword dug into the dirt, Fanho quickly sprinted behind as he refueled one of his fuuinjutsu that laced his arms ensuring it'd be good for use in the future. Then as he sprinted towards the Hokage he began funneling large amounts of chakra into his hand as it condensed into a swirling ball of chakra. That now grew in size to 42 meters, and formed the shape of a fuma shuriken with the blades slinging out. A ringing sound filled the air as the ominous rasengan's swirling force carried in the air. Speed was Fanho's domain, and now that he was on his feet. Takeo wouldn't have the chance to grab him this time. With speed that was greater than Takeo's Fanho sprinted with his large bearing Rasenshuriken as he slammed it where Takeo as he was 17 meters away was as its tiny blades shredded the area decimating rock to mere dust. The earth was easily destroyed under the utter force of the Rasenshuriken. For Takeo it wouldn't have killed him, but it certainly would've put him in a lot of pain. "If up close is your domain, then try this on for size!"

If the Hokage was going to such lengths in an all out battle, it was only fair Fanho returned the favor. After all, there we're four other Kage that we're equally strong. This was a show of force, and Fanho had to prove his worth to sit at the table. It only made sense to not hold back. Especially considering it'd be offensive to hold back against the Hokage, the strongest person in the entire village. However the fight aside Fanho could only wonder what the village was thinking of all these explosions, earth shattering blows, and quite frankly the chakra spikes out here would appear very dangerous to the sensory core. However with the ANBU aware that Takeo and Fanho had gone out not far from the village, he could only presume that they we're aware there might be S-rank level activity spiking out here. He wouldn't even be surprised if there was one or two of them watching to make sure it was just the two of them.
Jutsu UsedShow
Open Space: Blink
C-rank Ninjutsu
Pre-Requisite: Fuuinjutsu • Blink Tag, 35 Control
Fanho will channel chakra to his body as he focuses on one of his Fuuinjutsu • Blink Tag's which act as a conduit for this technique. As long as he focuses on a specific object or place tagged with this fuuinjutsu he can open space around himself and anything he is touching to teleport there instantly as long as its within 40 meters of himself.

Ninjutsu • Rasengan
S-Rank Ninjutsu
After Fanho has began to channel chakra to his hand a blue ball of spinning rotating chakra appears in his hand no larger than the size of a basketball (0.5m in diameter). The Rasengan is a concentrated ball of fast rotating chakra in the palm of Fanho's hand. Using pure chakra, the spinning ball of chakra hits up to a strength of 35 that sends the target spiraling off into the distance. The only downside to this jutsu is that it requires the Rasengan to remain in Fanho's hand. This is the advanced version of the Runt Rasengan, and is typically reserved for higher level ninja.

Ninjutsu • Rasenshuriken
B-rank Ninjutsu
Pre-Requisites: 35 Control, Ninjutsu • Rasengan
By funneling massive amounts of his chakra into any of his Rasengan variants or originals while in his hand, Fanho can increase its size into a large mass of swirling chakra with small ninpou based blades swirling inside ready to cut anything it comes in contact with causing several thousand slices on any enemy it comes into contact with. However now the Rasenshuriken increases the size of any rasengan by +(Control) in meters, and takes form of a four pointed shuriken with a large rotating spherical center. While also increasing its strength by +10. This also causes the Rasenshuriken to burst forward when making contact. To protect Fanho from the Rasenshuriken's destructive nature he has a small shield of ninpou that sits between his hand and the Rasenshuriken.
Fuuinjutsu ChargedShow
Fuuinjutsu • Hidaki Smash
A-Rank Force Fuuinjutsu
Prerequisite: 30 Strength
Fanho will tattoo this fuuinjutsu across a person's arms before channeling chakra into it. This fuuinjutsu is so large it takes up the entirety of a person's arm from the shoulder down to their finger tips, no other fuuinjutsu can be applied here. This fuuinjutsu can store up to 25 strength's worth of explosive energy, and can release it with chakra kai. If two of this fuuinjutsu are tattoo'd, Fanho can open kai on both to absorb energy with one and shoot it out with the other as a conduit. Since this fuuinjutsu expels the explosive energy outwards it saves Fanho from any damage. However to withstand the strength this fuuinjutsu expels an explosion he must have 30 strength.
Jutsu ActiveShow
Will of Fire has began charging kinetic energy and strength. 3rd post, 30 strength built up.

Konoha Smash • No Crawlspace Too Far
B-Rank Discipline
Fanho has learned how to deal in tight spaces and situations. When in a tight situation where a build up of strength and force is needed. Fanho has learned to deal without. He can exert all of his strength no matter how tight of a space he is in, and has no need to build up momentum to deal in his absolute strength.

Fuuinjutsu • Full Cowling
B-Rank Augment Fuuinjutsu
Fanho will tattoo this fuuinjutsu on a person in the forms of thick lines on their body in an erratic pattern that takes up a decent amount of space as it weaves from the stomach around the chest to the shoulders, and then down to the pelvis, and with a B-rank's worth of chakra channeled they can activate it. Afterwards they can deactivate it with no cost. When activated this causes the fuuinjutsu to glow grey and create sparks of electricity and grow outwards, the fuuinjutsu line's growing on his body in an erratic pattern (This change is just aesthetic, this pattern also doesn't affect other fuuin). This fuuin gives the person a +5 to speed, a +4 to strength, and deducts a -9 to control.
