GL Recruitment Test - Tsuki Rhuu

Watching over the waves that slipped past on the crystal waters, Kihaku sat within the shade of a tree, atop a cliff overlooking Kirigakure's coast. His swords lay unclamped beside him as his back rested against the bark of the tree, armour donned over his entire body minus his head, which was left bare. His hair flicked slightly in the soft breeze, and Kihaku thought of how much he preferred here to Suna. No dusty streets, no unbearable heat. He closed his left eye and relaxed, his plated eye scanning the scenery.
He wasn't just here to relax, he reminded himself. He was waiting on the latest candidate for the Grey Legion. He was to test her and assess her capability, to decide whether she could make in the Legion. After her sign up on the Recruitment notice, Tsuki Rhuu had been sent a letter regarding her testing, asking her to meet the examiner (Kihaku) atop this very cliff 2 days after its arrival, at 3 hours before noon. Should she not arrive by noon, Kihaku would leave and the Legion would ceased to bother her. Now, it was a few minutes before the arrival time, and Kihaku was relaxed, but always observant of his surrounding.

In one minute there was a slight breeze and in the next some White strands of hair blew in front of his face, she had always been good at teleportation and was adept at it, her white hair was actually quite ironic, seeing as how pure it looked compared to how evil her intent actually was "I take it your my recruiter?" winking she placed her right hand on her hip, while the bottem of her black and white dress ruffled in the wind. She had a plan for the dress later in this perhaps fight, her cold, malicious eyes skimmed over the armour plated man and her grin was ful of dark intent "oh this will be fun"

Kihaku looked over the sudden presence of the girl before him. Teleportation... well that was gonna be a bitch to get around, it was Ate's slipspace ruptures all over again. He wasn't, however, caught off guard all that much. He stood and held out a hand to the girl. "I am indeed. SIC Lieutenant Datenshi Kihaku, pleased to meet you." He watched the girls posture and features as he greeted her; there was an underlying cold in her that disturbed Kihaku somewhat. Not enough to intimidate him.
"The test you are about to carry out involves an adaptation of the standard "Bell Test". You will be ordered to obtain an object from me, by any means necessary. However, intertwined with this will be a terrain-shift. This means that I will be changing between locations throughout the test, whether you receive the bell or not, in order to test adaptability. From here, I will take you to the first of these terrains, a simply field landscape, and we will progress from there." Upon finishing his rant, Kihaku pressed a device on his armour, opening a slipspace rupture beside him, sustained to the location of the field. "If you'd care to follow me, we can begin." With that, he walked through the rift and positioned himself across from Rhuu, puling a set of dogtags from his pocket and showing them to his recruit. "These are your targets. You must fight to kill in order to win." He attached the tags to a clamp on his hip. They were secured tight; the opponent would have to secure him in one spot for some amount of time in order to obtain them.

When he held out his hand she just stood there, not shaking, in fact her eyes just briefly looked at it then flicked back up to his face, when he mentioned getting the tags in any means possible her face seemed to shadow slightly with a very evil intent, he actually just gave her permission to kill him, she liked this man already. Tsuki didn't think terrain would pose to much of a problem, teleportation might help her to with that but she had always liked a challenge, just as long as they died in the end.

Following him through the rip space structure thing she went without fear into the unknown location he was taking her, she had long ago forgotten how to truly be afraid, she had never feared anything, mearly killing, although she had seen what true fear looked like, on many of her victims "lets begin shall we" and without another word she raised her hands to behind her back, making a jutsu that appeared to be just a blur of her hands, not that he could see, whispering something under her breath she winked at him as darkened clouds began to appear "I can already see your blood, splashed on my arms, coating in with the patterns on my dress, colouring my hair" mainly she said this to try and freak him out but she knew that wouldn't intimidate him, she already knew that they would send one of their best to test her, any less and she wouldn't have waisted her time letting him speak, she would have just killed him straight off.

Her goal now was to get the dog tags and after a clap of thunder and another jutsu behind her back the first strike of lightning zapped from the sky, straight towards his hip just above the dog tags, perhaps she could zap the clasp and make it fall off, he never said that the tags couldn't be in liquid form.

As soon as the thunder sounded he moved, pushing off the ground hard and propelling himself to the side in a quick roll. He'd learnt in the past that the best way to deal with a lightning user was to stay on your feet, and with his skills in swordart his agility was profound. As he moved the lighting seared the ground beside him, and as his feet touched the ground he pushed off again, shooting forwards, swords drawn and pumped with immaterial chakra. He did not quite reach Rhuu but kept a safe distance, just in case; to run in head first would be reckless, possibly suicidal. Instead, without use of handsigns at all, Kihaku conjured four chakra blades in the air around Rhuu and fired them at supersonic speed, faster than any human could acheive without intense chakra. He already knew of the teleportation, this was to test its speed and efficiency.

"Baka" she smirked and in the next moment, just before the blades hit she vanished only to appear concealed on a tree behind him, the leaves hiding her slightly, a few strands of white hair were attached to the blades, blowing slightly in the breeze, her teleportation wasn't exactly perfect, it took a fair bit of concentration to know where you wanted to end up and not just appear in another village totally away from where you previously were.

reaching down and snapping out three shurican and a kunai with a letterbomb, she hurled it at him from behind, the kunai aimed where he was and the three shurican to other diretions, where he possibly might leap to, she knew he wouldn't stay still, not now that he knew she was a lightning user. "Running like a coward" she remarked icily, noting the way he wasn't staying still.

Keeping on the move, Kihaku grinned as the tools skimmed past his back, taking the explosion from the tag on his armour without too much damage to his body beneath it. "Not cowardly, tactically. Staying still against a Lightning user is suicide." Lancing in a different direction, he glanced in Rhuu's direction and smiled again. "And you should be a little more observant!" On his words, the four chakra blades from before, having changed position almost as quickly as Rhuu could, sliced through the trees branches towards their target. As soon as Kihaku had been sure of her position, he'd converted the blades of chakra-enforced air to another position and kept it going as she used her tools and spoke.

"SON OF A" she remarked quickly dropping upside down, her legs hanging from the branch she had been on "BITCH" she cursed as one of the blades managed to get a clean shot, slicing across her leg, as she hung, her dress thought it best to flip also and hung over her head, obsuring her view, she dropped and flipped again, midair this time, landing almost perfectly and fixing her dress "you managed to cut me, theres a first for everything" she cackled and looked down at her leg briefly, leaping in the air as the blades were sure to try and hit her again "FUCKING BLADES!" she laughed maniacally and pointed ten fingers at them, a lightning bolt shot from each finger at them, at a speed unfollowable almost, matching the speed of the chakra infused blades. The cut was fairly deep but it was as if Tsuki thrived on the pain, it hurt like heck but that just seemed to fuel her further, and the blood, well lets just say that seeing her own blood splash down her leg and slightly stain her dress, brought on a more malious cruel side rarely seen.

Tsuki, deciding that the dress was going to be a nuisence quickly shed it off, leaving her in a pain black bra and matching panties "getting in the way" she smirked watching him, even though cruel and heartless she had a figure woman thrived to have, that they strained at the gym, yet killing and torture, not to mention blood had managed to give her it without much work. Throwing the dress behind her, the blood trickled down her leg, she leapt forward towards him, at the same time drawing her blade and lacing it with lightning so it zapped, almost emating her evil intent "you've seen my blood, time to see yours" she laughed gleefully yet like a mad woman hellbent on suffering, it seemed like her speed had increased and midrun she vanished, appearing behind him and making a clone to appear in front of him, her clone's katana slicing across his throat, his jugular hopefully and herself behind him reaching for the tags with one hand while the other attempted to shock him or his armour with the blade of her sword.

Kihaku smirked and rolled with the front attack, moving in the same direction as the blade and leaping sideways, feeling it sail over head. Since Rhuu was charging she shouldn't be able to follow it. It was only then that he felt the air pass his hip too; the real Rhuu narrowing missing the tags. She was fast, that was true.
Leaping back under the same tree that Rhuu had sat in earlier, Kihaku smiled. "Sweet, eye candy while we fight, eh?" he smirked, indicating her lack of clothing. It was fairly smart, he guessed; the dress was awkward to move in. Mind you, armour would be better, now she was completely exposed to attacks. His hands moved infront of him, flicking through handsigns, one flowing into the next. Soon, he had two techniques stored in waiting. A rune appeared on his chestplate, glowing a soft blue, and his chakra level indicated 60 percent on HUD.

Her smirk turned into a look of annoyance as he narrowly missed the blades, her clone turned to face him at the same time it leapt high into the air towards him, it chucked her katana straight down, but not at him, at one of the branches, at the angle the clone threw it ad the speed, it would sever the rather large branch, heavy as it was it would fall where it was, either forcing him to dodge, or fall under the impact of it "Why won't you die, just keep dodging like a coward then!" her words were full of hate and anger, he could at least fight and stop fucking dodging her attacks. The Real Tsuki was in the middle of thinking up a cunning plan, and she walked towards him slowly, in no hurry. Tsuki realized she had to control her anger or risk losing the fight, hard but manageable, her eye twitched as a stab of pain from her leg happened with every step, but it just made her want to kill him all the more for injuring her.

Kihaku slid into immateriality as Rhuu threw the blade, readying to use one attack, but paused as it shot over him. For a nano-second he was confused until the large branch plummeted right through him. Ah... well now. He stepped out from the fallen branch and watched the two of them carefully. "Oh but my dear..." He began, then snapped out of sight. There was a moment's pause before his disembodied voice was heard again, "I already started," and his drawn sword flew straight into the clone's chest.
His invisibility was on a whole other level, the light not just tunnelling round him but passing through him entirely. Even Ate had trouble finding him like this. Also, in this state the air proved no resistance to him nor his weapons, increasing their speed greatly. His voice was projected out of the technique and into the surrounding air so vibrations could still travel.
After his blade struck, he moved again, not to retrieve his sword but away in a random direction, unpredictable by his opponent. His hands were already working on his next attack. He was also taking a moment to admire the view; he had to admit it'd been awhile since he'd seen unclothed girls. There weren't many of them in the void.

As he seemed to vanish after destroying the clone she immediently closed her eyes and listened for anything, anything at all to give him away "Hiding again, sheesh, what a coward" saying that she hoped to get him to show his face again but she doubted it, doing three handsigns at lightning speed she summoned a demon wind shurican and opened her eyes, scouting the area, how would she find this bastard now, she would just have to wait for him to show his face. She sighed and slumped to the ground, laying on her back with her knees in the air, her feet tucked on the ground, she wasnt cold though, being in only underwear and yawned playfully twirling the large shurican in the air "if your going to play hide and seek, guess I should start counting" she kept her eyes opened although relaxed as they seemed and literally started counting "One... Two... Three" as she counted she kept her ears and eyes alert for anything to him, hoping he would drop his guard if he saw her doing the same.

As the word "Three" left Rhuu's lips, a long thin blade of chakra sliced up through the earth and though the girl herself. Her proximity to the ground, and the fact that the blade was conjured within it mere centemeters away, meant that a hit was inevitable. Kihaku purposefully avoided her vitals, but the thin blade protruded from her lower chest, surrounded by a seeping stain of red. Soon after, the blade dissipated, and Kihaku blipped back into sight a few feet away, light and heat no longer passing through him. "Tag," he said with a small smile, before pointing his sword blade down at her neck, point on her skin making a small red cut. "'Hiding' is a very good tactic, you see. The art of stealth and recon come in handy many a time in a shinobi's career. It does not, in any way, entail cowardice." He was acting like he had won, but in honesty, he was curious to see if his opponent would try to escape, and if so, how?

Tsuki seemed to hiss in pain as the blade stabbed upwards through her chest, she didn’t have time to dodge or even roll to the side before it was gone and the assholes own blade was pointed at her neck “I wouldn’t get so cocky if I was you, this fight isn’t over just yet” A cruel smile was on her lips even though she had no idea how to get out of this, she had to think of something, anything to get free and kill this guy who made her bleed, this guy seemed more in control then the other man she had fought, yet this feeble position she was in reminded her of the last time, when the man called Atehameru had captured and almost killed her “You wouldn’t happen to know someone called Atehameru would you?” she barked out, her smile increasing “He was the only other man whom had me compromised in such a position” her palms were flat against the ground under her and her vision started going fuzzy, so this is what blood loss was like, she concentrated and ignored the pain, summoning Chakra to the Centre of her core, it was a risky move but she’d rather kill herself then have this bastard do it to her. She closed her eyes briefly then snapped then open as electricity formed over her entire body and immediately went up the blade he was holding and straight into his hand, her body immediately tensed up in pain but as soon as he dropped the blade from the electricity she was planning to jump up and use almost the last of her chakra to grab anything of him and send electricity strait through his armor to his body, either temporarily paralyzing him or making him faint, either way she could get the bells and if time allowed, kill him, Tsuki grit her teeth in pain trying desperately to ignore the pain from the volts going through her body and to keep herself alive.

At the mention of Ate's name, a smirk spread over Kihaku's lips. "Of course. He would be the big metal head of the Grey Legion. He says boss, I say the tall metal and egocentric guy who pays me. For all intents and purposes he-" Kihaku was cut off by the sudden jolt of electricity surging through the sword into his arm. Shaking a little, the sword was electrically joined to his arm for a moment, before he threw it aside and jolted backwards, away from the attack, smoke curling from his scorched gauntlet.
With a look of impress mingled with pain, he stood once more and drew his remaining sword, his other cast aside and unneeded for now. "That was good, although risky. Such a move is a good tactic when close to dying, but try not to rely on self-damaging techniques too often. Now then..."

With his words, the terrain around them suddenly shifted; or rather, they were moved to a new terrain. Around them, rocky formations and unlevel ground filled the area, no flora or earthen ground in sight. The air was thinner up here, the ground beneath them solid rock. "Round 2. Begin." He tossed the girl a chakra replenishment pill, taking one himself, so that they would both begin on full ability.

Ah so this man did in fact know Ate, the man who had turned her into the law enforcement and made sure she failed at escape, when he mentioned him being the head of the grey legion a look of distaste crossed her face and she shook her head “Deals off then, I won’t be working for that bastard ever!” a snarl curling her lips she caught the pill and looked around at the new terrain, this fight was over, no way in a million years would she work for the guy whom had humiliated her. Swallowing the pill she looked back over at him, a cruel laugh escaping her lips “Besides, you were boring me anyway” She wouldn’t admit that she couldn’t kill him and instead walked up to him, placing a hand on his shoulder and glancing into his eyes “I’ll let you live another day” a cold smirk and suddenly she was gone, vanished out of thin air into god knows where, the dog tags weren’t on his person either, instead where they used to be was a singed piece of what held the tags.
