[center][h2][color=#AFAF00][I]Pylon[/I][/color] vs [b][color=9e0b0f]Izanami's Assassin[/color][/b] [color=#AFAF00][I]Kiyome Katagana[/I][/color] and [b][color=9e0b0f]Nobushige Toyotmoi[/color][/b][/h2][/center] Nobushige kneeled from the chakra expenditure when he himself found a surprise. Electricity coursed through his body, making him grunt from the brief shock. Then he heard in the distance door slam open, and hum of something magnetic. Nobushige panted as he reached into his pouch, barely able to complete 2 handsigns. His body complained on moving from both chakra consumption and the electrical shock. He wanted to instantly jump up and set up a Barrier Formation on the entrance to the dome before she got there, but his body wouldn’t move. It took him a second or two to regain use of his legs [color=9e0b0f][b]“Not a good time to happen. Still, wonder how she likes my confetti.”[/b][/color] Down the hall she flew through, several stray explosive tags, about 4 looping around would lock onto her chakra, and flutter erratically towards her. Nobushige grunted a few seconds later, as he heard a magnetic hum getting closer, and leaped infront the dome entrance, locking eyes with her, and throwing two shurikens at her, aiming for her shoulders, giving her attacks from behind and infront of her. [hr] Flying swiftly through the dome towards Nobushige's location, Kiyome's senses picked up movements similar to those she'd detected prior to the explosions. Narrowing her eyes and smiling, the Kanagata's chakra lashed out in invisible tendrils of denjiton chakra, making pathways to the paper behind her, which were promptly burned to ash. She hadn't even slowed down and when Nobushige threw the kunai, her field detecting his movements with great precision, she didn't move either. The weapons would veer to the sides, turn around, and fly right back at the man, now charged with lightning chakra. She had earned her alias for a reason and it was unfortunate for Nobushige that he didn't recall their involvement all those years ago or he might have remembered her discussing her kekkei genkai with him. However, he was lucky in other ways. She had no intention of killing him. [hr] Nobushige raised an eyebrow as he finished his dive. The shuriken poofed as soon as she grabbed them, losing some momentum, but still continuing onward. They revealed their true form as paper shurikens, continuing their flight towards Kiyome’s shoulders. Throughout the paper shuriken’s form were various markings, explosive tags turned through origami into shurikens. Nobushige had formed them earlier, and used transformation jutsu on them just before he had thrown them. Nobushige then crashed on the other side of the door, feeling bruised as his ribs fell against the dome’s floor. He had no way of seeing the result of his throw, but activated the seal anyways, detonating the explosive tags turned shuriken. Nobushige panted as he tried getting back to his feet, and running away. He was not about to fight this woman on even terms. It would have hardly been even if he had the chakra to do so. [hr] They didn’t move and upon that occurrence, her body leveled off, so her feet faced ground, her hand suddenly had an explosive tag in it, and then it went off, metal having covered the flesh of the outstretched arm just as it did so. The explosion was directed via chakra, diffusing the blast of the two explosive tags and stopping them from getting close enough to do her real harm all in one movement. Her grin remained as she blasted through the remaining debris, began spinning mid air, and when she came out leveled off once more, sending lightning arcing from her in several directions, before most of it veered around to strike at Nobushige. At this point both of them had exited the observatory and were standing on the platform that supported it. [hr] Nobushige did the bravest thing he could think of, and ran valiantly away. As he saw electricity begin to arc off her, he did a cross, creating the cheapest clone he could get away with, a water clone(who accidentally looked a bit like Igor, due to his disappearing chakra), which proceeded kick him off the side of the platform as the lightning crashed into it. [b][color=9e0b0f]“Crazy biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch!”[/color][/b] Nobushige decided that gravity was a more merciful mistress than Kiyome was. He only hoped something would break his fall without impaling him.
