Sentou Uchiha ; Haruka Ueno
- Warehouse
Prior to the arrival in the warehouse, Sentou gave her three friends a wireless earpiece and stated that this will help them communicate accordingly. She also explained her plan to the three of them. Now, Sentou and Haruka arrives at the warehouse with an electrifying entrance. Whatever the plan was, Sentou is confident enough that it will work.
The warehouse was larger than the green-haired chunin had expected. He had assumed that due to its status as a possession of the Minamoru family (though located in a more obscure location), its size could not have rivalled that of the mighty buildings that served as the storehouses for the large intracontinential industries that had sprung up in the last several decades. This assumption was in the process of being disproven, as while their newest destination was still smaller than the warehouses of certain zaibatsu, it was still strangely large, though for what reason Haruka did not know.
He made a mental note to ask around on what exactly the Minamoru dealt in, beyond possible Yakuza connections. What was it that required such a large warehouse to hold?
"What exactly is the plan, Uchiha-san?" he asked politely. His eyes however, were not focused on his younger companion, but instead surveying the floor for possible danger. Sounds of combat echoed in the distance. He could feel the rumblings of battle somewhere. Steel was echoing against steel.
The others had evidently gotten started.
He cringed slightly. The smell of smoke was strong here. Normal fire didn't bother him, but something had been burning intensely recently. It was like ... burning flesh. It was not a pleasant scent, Haruka knew, but it did mean one thing: the fire-specialists of their group were definitely still alive (though he didn't doubt the ability of the others to fight with competence), which was relieving.
"I told you before but for now I have a plan. Attack!" The moment she said attack, enemies spawned and they are in fashionably high numbers. Sentou felt an electrifying stimuli from their nerves. Her concern right now is getting the team back together and get the culprit asap. In her battle stance, she puts her right hand over her left, emitting a visible amount of chakra and electricity and that technique is none other than the Chidori.
Sentou quickly dashes to their enemies and her speed is those of Gate Users with high agility levels; specifically the first gate.
"Chidori......." She calls out her technique as appearing mid-air.
"HAMMER!" Sentou strikes down her enemies with a lightning hammer which releases a shockwave of lightning through the metallic floor, dazing her enemies. Then followed by another attack;
"Chidori..." She breathes and yells her variation.
"Gungnir!" A large gungnir erupted from the ground which impaled her enemies up mid air.
"Behind you!" Warning him of the enemy behind, for some reason, Sentou threw a coin above. The coin is written with a seal.
One of the enemies mentioned that they are facing an Uchiha as based on Sentou's clothing and the crest behind her back and the technique Chidori as demonstrated that their comrades were electrocuted and shocked.
"Fear not. Don't let your guard down! AHHHH!" They come charging to Sentou and Haruka.
The charge was sloppy. Haruka stepped in, allowing his instincts to take control. His body leans forward, feet moving him into the thug's attack. His right elbow rattled as they made contact, his arm having shifted upwards in order to stall his foe. Ten opponents in total. Six currently seeking to horribly maim (and likely murder) him.
He needed to finish them off quickly.
The chunin didn't waste a second, capitalising on the thug's loss of momentum to launch a quick jab with his left fist. It struck true for a single instance just under his opponent's ribcage, but it was all that was needed for the thug to cry out in pain ... and provide him with an opening.
The panicked breath of his opponent rushed over him. Haruka didn't hesitate. His right arm pulled back, allowing the thug to double over.
He struck.
The orders were of a non-lethal nature.
The sound of bones snapping resonated through the building. Clenched tightly in Haruka's right hand was his opponent's mangled fist. It was deformed, knuckles crushed under the strength in the chunin's fingers.
It wasn't an optimal course of action for him, but it was the best he had on short-notice. A broken hand likely meant no hand seals, unless the thug was capable of performing techniques with half-seals.
Haruka moved once again, kneeing his opponent in the chest. He stepped back, letting the other man collapse to the ground in intense agony. The pain of broken fingers coupled with being winded was definitely not a wondrous feeling, he knew.
His foot lashed out. Bones crack once again. The thug screamed in pain.
Sometimes Haruka feels as if he overdid things. But it was the most efficient.
Five more left. Or were there?Inwardly, he had hoped that the display of ... well, brutality, could have intimidated the remaining targets into surrendering. However, they were still coming at him.
Temporary Paralysis TechniqueHe focused on the technique's name. Energy flowed through him, the chakra responding to the mental activation. Unlike others, he had never been one to call the names out. Hearing it in his mind was all that he found necessary.
The lead thug stopped mid-step. Haruka watched as the man struggled to move, only to realise that something had tied him to the ground. He didn't let them respond any further.
It was draining, to be honest, utilising the technique so many times in quick succession. But its utility could not be doubted. The green-haired chunin had made use of the Temporary Paralysis Technique ever since he had been a genin, when many D-ranks had seemed difficult and awe-inspiring.
Even now he held a soft spot in his heart for it. There were few techniques as useful as one that could physically restrain an enemy for a short period of time. And speaking of said enemies, Haruka allowed his eyes to linger upon their struggles.
It was ...
honestly amusing in a way.
There was no time, however. He had vowed to finish his fight quickly,
after all.
Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation TechniqueHis hands quickly went through the necessary handseals.
"One. Two. Three. Four. Five."Haruka ignored the screams of his opponents as they were suddenly pulled straight down into the floor of the warehouse. Of all the earth techniques he had mastered, this was also one that he quite cherished. Though its name suggested a certain sinister flair to it, Haruka much preferred utilising it to simply trap the bodies of his foes in the earth (or in this case, the ... concrete of the warehouse). It was useful, especially as it prevented both the movements of limbs and use of hand-seals.
Quite fortunate that he had time to prepare his techniques against this group of five instead of engaging in pure melee like with the first. The choice to break his first opponent's hands had been one born partly from necessity (due to the lack of time in launching any of his techniques) and partly out of an attempt to intimidate his foes. It had been a failure, but no matter. All of his foes were incapacitated.
"They will not be able to dig themselves out," Haruka explained with a brief gesture to the gibbering group of heads before him, breathing slightly ragged. While his chakra levels weren't low, using techniques in rapid succession was not something he had a proper grip on as of yet.
"And he -"He nodded his head towards the crying thug with the two broken hands.
"- has been effectively neutralized."Hopefully there would be no further obstacles in their way to regroup with the others. Haruka thought.
"I wouldn't say, there's about 30 coming in, look at this." She shows her phone to Haruka.
"Remember when I threw my coin to one of the platforms up? " She asks Haruka. Then flashbacks to why she did it.
Sentou Flashback"We don't know how many enemies are waiting on us; we need to finish this fast, I can use my railgun but assuming this is Yamato's property then I'm screwed. Tch.. whatever it is. We'll make it to where Aoi and Yamato are. Till then, we'll capture them and leave it to the police. Mari-senpai will come here soon enough. For now..." She thought to herself.
Flashback EndSentou's coin on the platform, it is not just a coin but a coin that have a seal attached to it which summoned the remote phone which directly acted as CCTV Surveillance to check for incoming enemies.
"That's why." She said and then she tosses another coin with a seal attached to it on the entrance and another which slipped below the doorway.
"Thirty," he echoed blandly.
"That would be an issue."With a sigh, the nineteen year old unlimbered his naginata. At a length of two metres twenty, it stood several heads above him. Some people wondered why a ninja of all people would use a weapon that seemed so large and unwieldy, and if he was honest with himself, Haruka actually had no idea why. It was an affectation of his, but even so, he had gotten enough missions done with it to find that despite its towering length, it was definitely a useful part of his arsenal.
Especially when dealing with large groups of foes. The extra range afforded to him was immensely beneficial.
"I suppose there is little we can do but face them head on," he said with a shrug, feeling the cold nagaye of his weapon beneath his fingers. "Avoiding confrontation with a group of thirty in these conditions would be quite difficult."He didn't actually quite know if he could deal with thirty either. Even with the assistance of Sentou, thirty possible ninja was a large force to deal with. Haruka was beginning to think that whatever situation they had found themselves in, it could not possibly be a just a simple Jashinist murder.
"Where were all these forces coming from?"It was as if they were dealing with some sort of insurrection.
The door opens.
"HAHA! We got em'! and n---."Sentou grins.
"Stay back, Haruka. Wait for it.""For what?"Sentou Battle ThemeCoins started raining from top and every direction, it is like raining cats and dogs but in this scenario, raining coins with electricity. All of a sudden, Sentou moves extremely fast, her movements appeared as if she's everywhere but those were afterimages projected from the side effects of her speed.
"Where is she? We need to stop this!" One of them yelled.
"She's right there, she---." Sentou stabs one of them with Chidori, of course avoiding vital parts. She does the same to the some, avoiding their vital parts and shocking them.
It was like a hurricane, Sentou moving too fast that she can't be seen by the naked eye unless one uses eye techniques or have a totally good eyesight.
Their enemies were fighting blindly as they fall prey to Sentou's speed. They begin to use their weapons against them. In fact this was grand, instead of hurting them directly, Sentou makes her opponents hurt themselves as she runs like a Tasmanian devil rather speed of lightning.
Finally, it stopped; leaving only one.
"Difficult? You were saying..." She stretches and yawns.
"Do the honors. That made me hungry, let's catch a meal afterwards, it's on me!" Sentou shows the childish side from the looks of her body language and expressions, jumping with a hooray.
"Understood."Haruka shook his head lightly. It was incredible what his fellow chunin could do sometimes; compared to them, he was rather low-key and underwhelming.
With an apologetic look at the final, remaining thug, whose face displayed nothing but shock at the suddenness of Sentou's wild attacks, the chunin allowed chakra to flow through his body once again. His mind snapped into action.
Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation TechniqueAnother one to bite the dust.
"Let us simply proceed onwards." he stated matter-of-factly.
"R.... right. I know where Aoi and the rest are. Grab on me." Sentou uses body flicker and proceed to go where Aoi and her friends are.
Few minutes later.
"Yo. Are we too late to have fun?"
