Watermelon and Mist [Tutor]

[Suika]

“Odd...”

As Suika and her sensei, Kiri, made their way to the capital, the duo both got separated from their group. Kiri gave clear instructions on which bus to board and which place to meet, but there must have been confusion somewhere along the way. The young kunoichi theorized that it was probably one of Eishi's frequent outbursts that distracted the group, but who was to say? Regardless of how or why, here they were. Suika gazed out the window as they speedily passed by long stretches of farmland. The calm green pastures appeared full of life as they homed various cattle and plants. Such a sight wasn't too common in Lightning Country, so she took a few seconds to breathe in the tranquil view.

It wasn't long after that the train arrived at a rest stop. The conductor announced a maintenance delay – about a couple of hours, he stated. Suka sighed. Well, it wasn't like the others were far ahead. The kunoichi hopped from the railroad and onto the dirt road. She then stretched. “It looks like we have time to kill, Kiri-sensei.”

Suika mentally prepared herself for whatever Kiri had planned for their downtime. Clearly, she'd let her instructor lead. Whether it was to relax, talk, sight-see, or train, she trusted in his discernment. Kiri proved to be more than competent as a leader and teacher, so she was up for anything.

“Now that I think of it...” she pondered as she walked beside him, “...I've never really had one-on-one time with Kiri-sensei. I usually see him in group settings, so this will be an interesting change of pace.” And it was true. All her lessons with the man, thus far, have been in the company of other Genin. She didn't mind it, but it definitely wasn't typical.

[Kiri]

Kiri could only sigh as he realised that the rest of the kids did not hop off from the train when they were supposed to. That would mean that they would have to wait for the next stop before they take another train back. But Kiri didn’t like waiting much and he was stuck with Suika already, and it would be unfair to her if they were to be stuck in place just because the others were not observant and did not heed the instructions. In any case, Kiri was already late in their schedule to meet with the others in the capital that he wanted to make sense of the time he had with Suika. That got him to think about Suika’s growth as a shinobi and so, he was silent for a bit. It was only when Suika talked got his attention that he finally got an idea.

“Suika, you have great potential in your ability to use genjutsu. However, you always luck out in the opportunity to display it. In the recent runabout with the key and Kotarou, you displayed quite a good control. Yes, I saw it. Well, I could see all your chakra pulses and it was quite easy who was who and what was happening with it. You’ll eventually learn this same skill and how it is important in your future missions. In fact, perhaps as part of your preparation for the Chuunin Exam, I can help you while we’re on the road,” said Kiri as he set his backpack on the side of the dirt road. “Besides, the caravan that was to escort us to the capital from here is late. We should make good use of the time.”

Wether Suika got the intended meaning from that or not, Kiri was already flexing his arms, stretching his limbs and walked to a safe distance from Suika before turning to face her once more. Deprived of his sword, he was merely dressed in his shirt and jacket, and pants and boots. Nothing else. “Well, I hope you’re ready. Just because this is an impromptu battle training doesn’t mean I would go easy on you. Now come at me.”

[Suika]

As both sensei and student walked, Kiri's demeanor remained unchanged as he faced Suika. He then spoke of her progress as a shinobi, her potential, and the opportunity to showcase it further. First, the young kunoichi was a bit taken back by the man's straightforward exhortation. She never really gave thought as to Kiri's opinion of her, but it felt affirming that he noted her prowess and ability. Kiri was definitely an elite shinobi. As they stood, there was a huge gap between their level of power. His experience in battle outnumbered hers, as he been in the ninja business quite a while longer than the girl. Nonetheless, his challenge was still posed. Suika, seemingly intrigued by the competition that was in friendly sparring, was not one to back down. She knew she wouldn't be able to do much to the man in her current state, but it was a good way to learn more about combat. The kunoichi took value in this personal time with her sensei and was to utilize it as best as she could.

Nodding her head, the ghostly girl positioned herself across the field from the white-haired shinobi as he did the same. Holding out her arm, she manifested Haru no Tamashi, her ethereal blade, and entered a battle-ready stance. She mirrored the man by stretching her arms and readying herself for their soon-to-be duel. It was time to truly test out her progress thus far as a shinobi, and who not better to do that with than the man who was central to her Genin career.

“I cannot defeat you yet, Kiri-sensei,” she muttered as her eyes glowed with a fierce spirituality, “but I can promise I won't make it so easy for you.”

The fight was about to begin.

[Calling Bmod]

 

[Kanagawa Nozomi]

Hello and welcome to a moderated battle!​

I am Ryong Kyo and I will be your battle moderator.

Just a couple of house-rules that are required to be implemented:
Due to the ruling of B-Mod calls during the tournament, there is to be no death in this battle.
Since this isn't a force entrance/exit/missing topic -- that is exempt.

I will need you all to send the following:
Character Name
Character Level
Power Level
OOC Rank
ASP Purchases (related to battle only)
Stats
Custom Class
Bloodline/Core Ability
Kinjutsu
Entire Jutsu List
List of Affinities / Majors / Minors
Abilities
Weapons / Inventory
Summons (if applicable)
Cursed Seals

---

Once all of that has been submitted, send me your Round 1 actions in a separate post. I also expect the following:
- ONLY USE WHAT YOU HAVE!
- Post no later than 3 days after each mod. Posting even a minute late will place you into Defensive Mode
- When submitting actions, I need all associated buffs to that action to include bonus damage, bonus accuracy, bonus effects, etc underneath the action (Preferably in a quote, spoiler, or list below the action)
- LINK EVERYTHING! It'll make things go by faster if everything you use, even if it's a bloodline/core ability/kinjutsu ability if everything is linked.
- DO NOT do the math on the things yourself. Leave everything basic as I will do all of the calculations.
- If something is of a specific alignment (Holy, Cursed, Spiritual) it needs to be stated along with the alignment-specific effects.
- I will not post the mod until all parties participating post an RP. (Or until the 3 day limit has been exceeded) If you sent actions and didn't RP, you will be placed into Defensive Mode even if you sent actions. You still have to RP.
- DO NOT pester me about the mod via any medium. Having some questions is fine and if there is a need for any correction, please compile it all into a list and send via PM. The time limit will be shifted starting from the edit.
- I am still just a fledgling mod, so expect some mistakes.
- Have fun! You have 3 days from this post to send me your stuff and round 1 actions. Good luck to all competitors.

[Kiri]

Kiri smiled as Suika showed some guts. Not that he was expecting her to show fear at the thought of fighting against him. That would just be strange, especially when she had talent. Like a diamond in the rough, she needed a little more attention, a little more polishing, but that would only go so far. And so, he was hoping that this quick sparring session would help her find the initiative from within.

“Not that I would say you could defeat me, because I’ve always thought that every battle has equal chances for both sides no matter how obvious it is from the start. At least, that’s how I’ve always been and may have landed in quite a few problematic situations thanks to that. Not gonna lie there. But if I was a timid shinobi, well, let’s just say I would not be where I am right now. Though this isn’t exactly where I want to you be either. I’d rather you choose your own path and then see what fate brings you along the way. But for that to happen, you need to brace for the difficulties,” said Kiri as the girl would get into a readied position. “So yes, make it difficult for me, but never say you cannot defeat me. Who knows? You just might.”

Without so much of a warning, Kiri suddenly let the flow of his energy come alive, letting it seeped out. If Suika was ill-prepared, she would feel its teeth, otherwise she would be doing fine. But that was just the beginning. Kiri let out a few handseals before suddenly summoning a number of Ancient Warriors in red armours, seemingly appearing to surround the young shinobi. One of them reached out to try and grab hold of her. At this, Kiri saw her instincts kick in and escape from the hold. He smirked at the sight. The kid was growing well. Nevertheless, it didn’t mean he would make it easy for her either as he proceeded to create clones of himself, seeing if she could handle this pressure. And to make it all the more interesting, he also added a black serpent to the mix, rising from his shadows to hover in preparation. No doubt that this ensemble would easily intimidate anyone, but would she be affected in the same way?

Then, stepping on his side was Yakujou, his soul finally materialising after Kiri had opened the summoning connection to his soul. The tall raven-haired man looked at his way with a kind smile before looking at the student who was being flanked. “You’re always strict,” said Yakujou.

“Not all battles are fair,” answered Kiri before he would call out to Suika, “This is Yakujou. Imagine that this is part of your mission and your main target is none other than him. You may choose to dispose of any other combatants, me included, but the real objective will be him.”

[Suika]

As the battle between the duo began, Suika sensed a darkness, more like an aura of corruption, emit from the soils below as Kiri formed his final handseal. With her extra-sensory perception intact, the ghostly girl hopped into the air and dodged the potential bind of a zombified hand. What occurred after was enough to drive the girl into an angered state. Corpses, fueled my a malevolent type of chakra, sprouted from the ground and approached the girl aggressively. Suika hissed as she rebuked her sensei.

“Kiri,” she barked as she attempted to fend off the resurrected, deteriorated bodies that threw themselves at her, “this is unnatural. No, this is vile. What is this jutsu?!” During Suika's spiritual journey thus far, the only beings she encountered with a similar type of energy were demons. Demons almost killed her and Ikko prior to her visit to Tea. Demons annihilated her beloved cat, Blackberry. The fact that her instructor, Kiri, harnessed an alike power felt almost detestable to her. The spirit world, in her opinion, wasn't meant to be tampered with. What was dead was meant to stay that way. Kiri's involvement, although also bewildering, infuriated her to her core. Her demeanor shifted from friendly to somewhat hostile. At this moment, her instincts drove her.

As Kiri continuously summoned an army against the Genin, Suika noticed the cattle in the area appeared a bit perturbed. They were still in farmlands, after all. They were far enough where no creature would be hurt, but the girl would act to ensure that further as the battle ensued. After taking a beating from some of Kiri's clones and zombies, Kiri then manifested a soul. It was like the rotten cherry on a cake of mud. He, a pretty looking and dark-haired fellow, was introduced by the name of Yakujou. Suika's magenta eyes observed the risen man with fiery intent. His existence in this plane was despicable to her. She surely would let this be known.

“I don't know what your intention is here, Kiri-sensei, but that man, Yakujou, shouldn't be here. This is wrong.” The girl stanced herself. There was no way she could stand up against Kiri, his clones, his zombies, his shadow dragon, and his living soul, but she yearned to bring an end to this as quickly as possible. After this little spar, she'd confront the white-haired shinobi about his cursed abilities.

The kunoichi had a plan. It's success rate, she calculated, was low, but she had to go for it. Despite her superior's assuring spiel, there was no realistic way to combat this power gap. Improvisation was key, if she could manage it. She took a long, deep breath and pointed her ethereal blade at the masses. “Kiri-sensei...” she called out. Her tone was slightly more calmed as she regained some composure from her previous shock. “I will confront you after this... be sure of that. For now, I accept your challenge.” She recognized didn't have much a choice. Suika dashed at the group and prepared to execute her second course of actions.

[Kiri]

As they looked on, they would notice Suika’s sudden change of demeanour. Kiri took note of this as Yakujou would raise a hand and cover his face while chuckling. “Oya, oya? Your student has some feistiness in her,” said Yakujou, side glancing Kiri with a smile. Kiri could only as he looked back to the soul– technically ancestor– before he shrugged almost exasperatedly. Then, he would look back to Suika who was looking ever more feral than usual.

“Like I said, it’s about time you need to feel the pressure. Don’t worry, they won’t harm anyone else,” said Kiri before he took out a herbal cig and started to smoke. “Don’t be rude, Suika. They aren’t monsters. They’re family. And as to why they are here… they are answering a call worth thousands of years in the making. Perhaps you have had your fair share of surprises and unwanted encounters of the otherworld, but I assure you, they are different. My presence is merely to mediate and free them from the trapped state of their souls. They, who could not even find the after life, were bound to roam in agony and oppression. If let alone, they would have turned into vile spirits. But for people of noble birth and gallant life, it was too much of a punishment. And I, as their descendant, should take on the role to free them…. every once in a while, at the very least.”

That said, Kiri was surprised at the sudden immobility he felt. A sudden spark crossed his chakra pulses and he watches as the clones, the black serpent, the ancient warriors, and his newly brought Setsuna all go poof into a thick black smoke before his chakra overpowered the binding attempt of the girl. Yakujou couldn’t help but laugh louder, unable to control himself before looking back at Kiri.

“Oh my, oh my. She’s quite the smart fighter,” said Yakujou before he set his eyes on her.

Kiri merely clicked his tongue as he took in a long puff before scratching the back of his head. He wasn’t really keen on fighting her dead-on as this was merely a test for her. To see how she would react against a flanking of enemies. Well, now he knows. Still, he commended her ability to stay focused despite the sheer number of enemies. And even without Yakujou stating it, Kiri already knew she was a smart one. At least, in their group of genins, she was one of the few that Kiri truly expected such trait. There were a couple more, but for now, Suika was proving to be quite the efficient little gem.

“She’s more than just a smart fighter. So you better watch out,” grinned Kiri.

And just like so, Yakujou would learn first hand the might of the girl as they traded blows while Kiri looked on.

[Suika]

Wiping a bit of blood from her pink lips, Suika readied herself for her devised plan. As stated, its success rate wasn't huge, but it was very hard to focus on the task at hand when attacked by a mob of creations and clones. She had no choice, really. As Suika worked on fighting off Kiri's dopplegangers to identify the real one, Kiri retorted the girl's enraged claims.

Fallen warriors? Family?

For a brief second, the ghostly girl was bewildered by the man's explanation. The presence that exuded from Kiri's chakra and jutsu felt dastardly and unnatural, but she also sensed no deceit or ill-intent in her instructor's words. It was plausible that her opinion was skewed by her negative experiences, but it was difficult to combat that icky feeling that instinctively resided in her. Nonetheless, now wasn't the time to dwell on such matters. With keen insight, she finally identified the real Kiri. Her blade glowed as she cast one of her most powerful illusions. She expended an expensive amount of chakra from this, but it appeared worth it as most of the white-haired shinobi's creations poof'd away instantly. Her plan worked. If she wasn't still confronted by the Soul that stood or Kiri himself, she'd sigh in relief. But the battle wasn't over quite yet. Yakujou, the resurrected spirit, suddenly formed seals and sent forth violent winds toward her and her clone. His jutsu, almost like a tornado, hit her pretty hard as she flew back. Her clone dispersed immediately as Suika was almost swept off her feet.

The kunoichi stabbed her sword into the ground as she achieved balance and stability from the man's assault. Well, he sure did pack a punch. Taking a few more breaths, she composed herself as if she didn't just get ravaged by a high-level ninjutsu.

“Please explain this further to me after, Kiri-sensei. I am interested in hearing more about these spirits you claim to be of kin and nobility.” Her stare then shifted to the dark-haired man. It was more of a glare than anything. “Are you ready to fight now, Yakujou-san? Or do you still require help from your friends?” It was an obvious taunt, but, deep down, it was also her highest hope. A repeat of what occurred less than a minute ago would be a headache.

Dashing in front of him, the kunoichi then executed a string of slashes that dealt noticeable damage to the spirit. Suika prepared herself for her next strike. “Let's go.” She then set in motion her next course of actions.

[Kiri]

Kiri was quite impressed with Suika’s resilience. His effort to at least put more pressure on the field with his clones was, once again, a test of her patience and fortitude. Kiri took a step back to observe as Suika and her spectral clone would deal with Yakujou. He admits that her all-out offensive was very much impressive. Yakujou got hit hard by her incoming strikes, taking only a brief respite every now and then. In the latter’s defense, he still needs to adjust in the world of the living. There was so much disconnect going on that the soul was likely not yet fully adjusted. The strain on his movements was apparent, and it was getting all the more clearer that in future fights it was important to have Yakujou as the back-up, not the frontal attacker. Well, considering Kiri didn’t bother to do anything but observe in their current engagement, perhaps it would be a different story altogether if he was there to help. Ah, but Suika did get him with a bind so he figured that was okay.

“Sure, we can talk more afterwards. For now, keep your eyes on the prize,” hollered Kiri as the fight was still ensuing. Soon enough, Yakujou would let out another devastating rip of wind jutsu, sending both Suika and her Spectral clone off their feet, the latter having it more roughly before being dropped to the ground in a not-so-graceful manner. Thus eliminated the clone’s presence. By then, the fight had finally reached its conclusion.

Yakujou would dust himself from all the dirt and noticed all the cuts and bruises. Strange how the pain wasn’t that apparent on his face. “This is truly a mystery, even for me. I did not think I would get to return like this, but it seems worth it.” Then, he would face Suika and smile before a polite bow, “Thank you for a wonderful bout, Young Miss. You are truly a gifted shinobi. Had you been born in my time, your help would have been greatly appreciated. For now, I hope that you and your friends never experience war. While strength as such is important in the battlefield, it is far more important in keeping the peace of the world you live in.” Then, he would straighten his stand and face Kiri before waving goodbye, “Until next time. Do take care of your health better.”

And just like that, Yakujou’s body would emit small glowing spheres before dispersing into thin air. Kiri’s water clones would also drop into puddles on the ground as the white-haired shinobi would approach Suika and reach out a hand towards her. “I’d give that a B+. Well thought-out. A few more fine-tuning of strategies but overall, it was good.”

[Bmod Ends. Tutor Continues]

 

[Suika]

The battle raged as Suika dueled Kiri's soul manifestation. As they fought, Kiri initiated jutsu of his own as he ensured there would be a talk afterward. Suika nodded in acknowledgment as she prepped her aggressive assault. Appearing before the dark-haired Yakujou, she performed her one of her most lethal taijutsus and immediately stacked it into a combo with another. It was a success! The man instantly spilled more blood as each slash of her ethereal blade landed on its mark. The kunoichi made use of her momentum and entered into another flurry of blows, Kill Driver.

Her keen senses went off. The poor fellow attempted a body switch, but thanks to her otherworldly abilities, the soul wasn't able to cheat himself out of this one. There was no stopping the ghostly girl's purposeful attacks.

“Denied.” she muttered as she repeatedly swung her blade with swiftness and precision. Like her last string of blows, everything hit as intended. At this point, it was apparent Suika had a physical advantage over Kiri's creation, but she also recognized a flaw in her outright assault. She poured her energy and resources into pure offense, but left her defenses wide open. Yakujou took advantage of this opening and cast a powerful ninjutsu like his last. While Suika managed to survive being swept by his powerful wind affinity yet again, her poor clone skyrocketed into the sky. It never fell back down. Odd.

His jutsu definitely damaged the girl a bit, obvious by the pained wince she expressed after impact. Suika kept her pokerface, though, as the supposedly noble spirit gave his praise. His exhortation was with good-nature as he spoke with a calmed finesse. Like Kiri, she felt no ill-intent or deception from his words. While an aspect of herself was still bewildered by the dark nature of Kiri's jutsu, she also felt humbled and proven somewhat wrong by the man's approach. Her supernatural perception revealed to her that this manifested soul was, indeed, not truly corrupt. She quickly bowed her head to Yakujou before his spirit dispersed unto an alternate plane. “Likewise, Yakujou-san. Although I had the advantage in this match against you, your definitely let me have it with your powerful wind-style ninjutsu.” The girl grinned. Her demeanor was noticeably more relaxed now. “And that's the goal. As cheesy as it sounds, I want to make the best of my time in the realm of the living and invoke positive change. I also apologize for the disrespect I showed earlier, Yakujou-san. It seems there is a lot about the spirit world that I need to learn. Until we meet again.” The soul's particles fluttered off with his farewell. Although she was injured and beaten somewhat, she embraced the wave of satisfaction that engulfed her senses in that moment. That was a great spar.

Suika then shifted her attention toward her instructor. B+? Her instructor was straightforward, so such a score was pretty ideal. However, being ambitious as she was, Suika yearned for that potential A+. She would gather what she learned from this battle and alter her strategies to better execute them in the next. She nodded at Kiri. “Sounds fair, Kiri-sensei. Now, can you explain to me further the nature of your jutsu as we board our train to the capital?” Unbeknownst to her, the young kunoichi's appearance was disheveled from her previous battle. Her hair was mangled, blood fell from her busted lower lip, and dust coated about half of her body. Suika didn't really mind, though - such was the life of a shinobi.

[Kiri]

With the ended, Kiri waved back at the disappearing Yakujou. Not like he’d miss him since he’s simply returning as a soul in his soulscape. For all he knew, Yakujou and Hogosha could be discussing about battle strategies in the soulscape now and constantly trying to vie for Kiri’s attention in the real world. Nevertheless, he appreciated the gesture and went to retrieve his rucksack. “Yeah, I suppose we could.” He would say as they hear the whistling in the distance. “But I told you. It’s not a train. It’s a caravan. Don’t go getting lost like the rest of the kids, Suika.” He gave a petty frown, thinking he’s always being ignored by the kids. Well, wasn’t he just a big old kid anyway?

Soon enough, there would be a caravan passing, composed of a few carriages of supplies and some passengers. Kiri would secure their trip, making a deal with the caravan master before they were given the go-signal. Soon enough, they would board the last carriage where they fit themselves along with the crates of fruits. Hopefully, none of the misfortunes that happened during his time with Eishi and previous caravan would happen, lest he'll be seeing into some unwanted medical treatment. But Tea Country wasn't in a war, so an ambush wasn't likely. On second, as he would look at Suika, Kiri could already see her eagerness to know about what had just happened. “Don’t go stealing now, young gypsy. This ride will be a day’s worth,” said Kiri as they would settle in and sway to the movements of the cart. “Now, where shall I begin?”
