Hey all, I'm back. Hope you all like this chapter, finally a bit of action.
Hinata landed unsteadily, though it looked as though she had easily avoided the weapon, the truth was she had barly avoided it.
"Looks like I get the easy pickings" said an almost sad voice. She looked up, frightened at the man before her, Tetsu sighed again, "I was looking forward to a fight between bloodlines, but it seems I won't be getting any challenge out of this. I'll just slaughter you, then your friends, then throw your bodies into the house and burn it to the ground, fun, but not challenging….well, except for Tsunade". Tetsu nodded, seeming to have made his mind up, it was a good plan, and would be quite satisfying, though as he said before, mostly unchallenging. He decided the he may as well start; he put his focus back on the young Hyuuga, and noticed something that made him smile. Her look of fear was gone, in its place was a determined look, unfaltering, even in the presence of a chunin level opponent.
"Hmm, maybe I was wrong" he chuckled "you do have a bit of backbone in you" the only response he got was a stiff 'Byakugan' from the normally timid girl. Taking this as her answer, Tetsu smirked as he raised put his hands together in a tiger seal, Hinata stared as she watched Tetsu's chakra shifted about rapidly, she noticed some of it seeped into his skin and, when she focused back on his Skin, that it had taken on a light sheen, allowing light to reflect off it lightly.
"I'm g-guessing that's your c-clans bloodline, the Hagane no Kawa" stuttered Hinata, getting a grin and a nod as a response, Hinata decided to see how her gentle fist faired against his skin. Hinata rushed in at Tetsu, and managed to slid under a massive right hand roundhouse that left Tetsu off balance, with only his right foot on the ground, his left had risen in accordance to his momentum. It was in this gap Hinata struck, using her momentum to slid in on his right side and land two clean hits on tenketsu, one at Tetsu's shoulder, and one at his lung. The instant she struck, Hinata knew it was useless, her chakra, instead of being forced into tetsu's chakra points, rolled off his now metaloid skin, dissipating into the Air. A smirk made it's way onto tetsu's face as he brought his left foot down to the ground and used it as a pivot point to swing around for a left hand straight punch. Seeing it through her Byakugan, Hinata managed to lean back and allow the fist to sail over her head. Unfortunately, this left her open, and Tetsu's continued to spin around, bringing up his left leg for devastating kick to Hinata's ribs, which sent her flying. Hinata grunted as she flew over the ground, gravity bringing her down to bounce every so often, until she crashed through some bush by the edge of the clearing.
"Oops" chuckled Tetsu, "guess I put to much power into that" he cracked his neck lightly before making his way towards where Hinata disappeared into the underbrush. Hinata managed to get to her feet and stumble out of the bushes to lean on a nearby tree, feeling her ribs gently, wincing every so often as she felt what was surely a few broken ribs
She looked up and saw Tetsu making his way towards her. She reached into one of her pouches and grabbed a handful of shuriken; she withdrew them and hurled the lot straight at the metaloid shinobi. Tetsu chuckled heartily as the normally deadly projectiles flew at him, he lifted his head, allowing the shuriken to bounce off his body and exposed neck. Tetsu smiled as he lowered his head, levelling a gaze at Hinata, he continued to walk towards her, enjoying the terror he was inducing from the frozen Hyuuga heiress. Frozen, however, Hinata was not, the cogs in her mind spinning as something clicked into place. The action of Tetsu raising his head was to expose his neck and show that she couldn't even damage such a weak and vital area, to bring forth doubt and uncertainty, but thanks to her Byakugan, she had caught a glimpse of something, Tetsu had closed his eyes when the shuriken struck. It could have been a natural reaction, but if he was truly impervious to her attacks, would he have not felt safe to keep his eyes open? Hinata squeaked in terror at Tetsu, whom she realized was now but two metres away, and stumbled backwards, falling through the light bush she has been in before. Tetsu openly laughed as he followed her through the bush and into a small area free of bush where hinata sat terrified, on the far side of the mini clearing infront of a wall of bush. Tetsu smiled as he stepped over to hinata, where he leaned down over her, gazing deeply into the pale eyes of the heiress.
"tis a shame I must kill you, you would of had such a life" he said casually, "luckily for you, I have some chivalry, anyother might have had some fun with you, I am not a rapist, but I am a shinobi, and I have a job to do so..." and with that trailed off sentence, he drew a kunia. He raised his hand above him, and in a flash it was done, blood spilled from the wound, trailing down to the weapons end to splash upon the ground, staining it forever crimson.

Tenten didn't waste a single moment as she landed. With a quick, practiced motion brought the two scrolls Tenten hadn't left inside into her hands from a holder hidden under her shirt, behind her back. All the while never taking her eyes off the fast approaching enemy Kunoichi, who had already drawn her twin swords. Tenten quickly place the scrolls beside her and activated the storage seals on them, releasing a five foot pile of shuriken, kunai, senbon needles, small throwing axes, small one handed scythes and even some rapiers and windmill shuriken. Tsuin's eyes bulged at the sheer number of weapons, Tenten smirked, before expertly grabbed several weapons from a pile and threw them straight at Tsuin. Tsuin instantly noticed that the weapons were thrown in a distinct way, spread out enough to make dodging extremely difficult , but close enough together to cause anyone who attempted to deflect them to be overwhelmed before they could all be deflected.
Tsuin gritted her teeth in annoyance as she brought her hands together, letting the seemingly featureless ends of the swords collide, where they stuck together. The thrown weapons, which were only standard thrown shinobi weapons, had covered almost the whole distance between the two Kunoichi by this time. Tsuin quickly started to spin her joined swords, making a giant windmill shield in front of her, using chakra to create a small shield around her hands, protecting what had been the easiest target for Tenten to hit. The weapons mistress growled as her weapons were harmlessly deflected, she scooped up another few shuriken and threw them, never giving the other girl a chance to stop and or escape as she repeated this process. For several minutes Tenten pinned down Tsuin with her weapons, until finally, she reached for a weapon to find none left. her eyes widened in surprise as Tsuin, whom despite having used a lot of chakra in her defence, quickly disconnected her weapons and sprinted toward her. Tenten drew out two standard kunai she kept on her person at all times, and readied herself for the attacked. Tsuin came at Tenten with both arms crossed over her front in an X shape, the katanas blades reaching out behind her. Once within reach, she threw her arms out, bringing her swords in like scissors at Tenten's neck.
She managed to bring her arms up in time to deflect the blades over her head, but failed to even notice the powerful jumping knee strike that was sent into her chin until it sent her flying painfully through the air. Tsuin landed gracefully, while Tenten landed solidly on her back, the landing jarring the breath out of her. She gasped and coughed for air, but made no voluntary movement. Tsuin smirked as she almost strolled over to Tenten's disabled form, she sheathed one of her swords, leaving the other in her right hand. She kneeled down next to tentens head, she raised her sword above the wild eyed Tenten, who's desperate attempts to move resulted in but twitches. With a smirk, Tsuin drove her sword down sharply, point aimed at Tenten's next. The Kunoichi's eyes widened in shock, she gurgled something incoherent, even as the light faded from her eyes, and she joined her already fallen comrade.

Shizune landed in a crouch, eyes concentrated on Mizu, as he ran towards her. He came to a halt 20 metres back, his hands flashing through hand signs.
"water style: sudden down pour" he said in a stoic voice, as soon as he'd said it, water appeared around them in a 30 metre radius, with Mizu as the centre, and fell to the ground. The air was notable drier, and despite the blanket of water that had fallen, Mizu was completely dry, but Shizune was soaked. She realized instantly the danger she was in, she leapt back, out of the wet area, while simultaneously push a small amount of chakra out of her body from every chakra point, propelling the water off her. Barely a moment later, the water she'd repelled imploded on itself, before splashing down into the water. As she landed, Shizune couldn't help but let the move remind her of Garra's desert coffin technique, she obviously wasn't going anywhere near Mizu, and with his rebreather on, her poison gas techniques were useless. As bad as the situation seemed though, Shizune smiled, she could just leave to go and help one of the other girls, and when he left his 'safe area' to stop her, she'd ambush him. There was, however, one thing that stopped this plan of action, that being Mizu.
"secret technique: marooned" said Mizu as he formed a strange handsign. Suddenly, the water that surrounded him shot out in a ring. The suddenness had caught her off guard, but she had managed to jump over the rush of water. as Shizune landed, she knew something had change, a quick glance around her confirmed her suspicions, she was now surrounded completely by water.
"well shit" said Shizune, getting a chuckle from Mizu. The water shinobi took a deep breath and focused, he flung his arms up, causing the ring of water to jump up into a large, but thin dome over them. Mizu waved his arms about, manipulating the water, forcing it to shrink, becoming centralized around Shizune, with him standing in the now much thicker water dome. Shizune held his gaze steadily, she could not escape, and she knew what was coming, a variation of Garra's sand coffin, no doubt. Mizu gave her a barely perceptible nod of respect, before he raised his arm and closed his fist tight. "water style: kraken crush"
