Working on Taijutsu [Taijutsu training] (Open)

First off, let this be the last time that a thread is created under a 'no posting order' mindset, even if everyone agrees to not have one. Next time, the entire thread will be voided; trainings included. If you cannot post your actions in a timely manner, then at the very least post that you need to be skipped. We have a posting order for alot of reasons -- mostly to prevent things like this cluserfuck from happening in a thread.

Ida, you're missing the general clause in Alec's posting, so I'll repost it here so that you can see it clearer

As for the clone and crows coming toward him, and the Kumo kid's tossing of wire into the flock, Alec was left to assume that they were working together. He formed several blurringly fast hand signs while the clone and birds closed in on him, positioning his hands before him as the Wind technique went into play. If successful the flock would be scattered and the clone as well as the Kumo kid would likely be knocked off balance - if not pushed completely off of their feet - by the sudden harmless but hard blast of wind.

This right here means that if everything that happened in the paragraph were to go as planned, THEN he would follow through with the sequence of actions in the next paragraph.

But, everyhthing did not go as planned. The wind was not enough to knock away the clone of Hannah.

However, the wind wasn't so great, as her level of skill seemed to outlast the wind. In fact, it didn't really bother her attack at all, and the kunai lodged straight up into the gut of her opponent. The hard hit was enough to punch out the air from his chest and the blunt metal end of her kunai sunk deep into the man's gut.

Which forced Alec to counter-attack.

However Alec could only continue to grin as the Symbiote armor instantly hardened up to form armor across Alec's entire torso to absorb the blow, leaving him unharmed even though the blow intended wasn't fatal. ~ The very moment that her Kunai would reflect off of his Symbiote armor was the moment that he launched a "police kick;" a standing front kick in other words, towards the chest of the Hanako in front of him.

The problem in this? You didnt post. If you had posted between Alec and Hannah, then we wouldnt have an issue. But the fact is, your /no posting/ order thing is what screwed you over. We cannot stop time in the middle of a fight to allow someone to go back and respond to something after it has 'connected'. The problem with you not posting.... the moment alec post, it effectively seals the fact that you were affected by his jutsu -- and because you did not post otherwise until AFTER the fact -- you are subject to whatever he has in store for you in reguards to the effects of the jutsu he used. -- this includes the fact that your kunai and wires would be launched back at you from the force of Devastation. [Given that Alec is a S rank, and you are C rank.]

So that leaves this to two possible outcome -- either void the thread, or allow everyone to edit thier posts, and I'm going with the former. Your trainings done will count -- alec and Hannah, if you two wish to have this count towards your character development, then you're free to do so.

OOC:

Hanako suffered a sudden kick as soon as her kunai reacted to a hard substance in the man's stomach.  Her eyes widened as she was launched backwards.  What had stopped her kunai?  It didn't appear like he was wearing armor, yet something about his clothing seemed to have hardened, forming around the area that the kunai was hitting just before it had hit.  The thoughts were all confused as she landed hard in a long roll, such a powerful and quick kick sending her into a cloud of smoke.

With the clone dispersed, Hanako decided to appear, disengaging her hiding jutsu and appearing on a tree branch.  She was startled again at how he had already turned to her position while she was still hiding.  He was blindfolded and yet he knew where she was! Did that mean he knew the other was just a clone?  Damn, I'm outclassed here.

So it seemed all signs was pointing towards a sensing ability.  Being now less than sixteen feet away from the white haired man as he stood by the red-haired boy who was struggling to get air.  Having felt the pain from her clone, Hanako could sympathize with the boy, but she didn't.  This was a battle that was seriously getting out of hand.  Out of hand because all the advantages seemed to be for the blindfolded man, who acted better than most people without blindfolds.

His hand was smoking a blue color, that appeared to be more chakra then smoke.  To see chakra with just her eyes, Hanako knew something bad was just about to happen.  It was never good to see the chakra of an opponent.  As much as she wanted to see what jutsu was about to be performed, being so far below the man's level Hanako understood that the longer she stayed, the higher the chances were of her getting seriously injured.  Since it was still, technically, a spar, she didn't think the man was out for blood, nor did his words seem to portray such hostile intentions.  Because of this, she held off on using her body flicker technique until later.  The man was going to give her a show of his power, and she was willing to risk it all just to see it.

Both kicks met their mark. The girl in front of him was a clone, and poofed soon after impact. The Kumo kid? He was sent rolling and tumbling. When he came to a stop however, Alec came to see that he'd underestimated his own strength, for the kid started coughing up blood and making choking noises while grasping at his chest. Alec honestly didn't think he'd put that much behind his kick, nor did he even intend on getting into a fight with the kid since 1, he was far stronger and faster than him, and 2, he'd recently orchestrated an attack on his village which resulted in the violent murder of his Kage.... but oh well. After passing out face first in the pool of his own red puke, and seeing the chakra suddenly disappear from his form, the kid expired.

"...Hmmm... how unfortunate. Not exactly what I had in mind... To think I originally intended to try teaching the kid that very kick... Such is the life of a Shinobi..."

Suddenly this didn't seem so fun anymore. The sarcastic grin vanished from his lips, and the technique he began putting into play within his left hand ceased. Alec pulled on his hood, concealing most of his head except for his lips and the bottom of his chin. The female didn't look like she wanted to continue this engagement, and that was just fine as far as Alec went. He started to feel sort of guilty; bad that he'd taken the life of someone just starting out. Yes, Alec was a killer, a criminal, a terrorist; a villain. But he wasn't so cold blooded that he'd enjoy killing kids.

He took his walking stick from the back of his belt with his left hand, leaning on it, sighing some. He took one last glance over at the female in the tree, his grin returning slightly. She was strong and had alot of tricks; she'd go far. He looked forward to just how far exactly. Alec couldn't remember a fight that had lasted as long as this, and the funny part about it all was that he first planned to simply sit on the side and watch. Before long, Alec turned and started to walk off. It was time to leave here. Someone was going to find out what happened to this kid here, and come seeking answers. Alec planned to be long gone when that time came.

" Nice moves, Kunoichi... Apologies for the lame pet names earlier, it was only to get a reaction from you, and a reaction you gave... i'm impressed. Keep up with your training, and perhaps we'll dance again one of these days... Feel free to tell your superiors what happened here; like I said, I didn't intend for that to happen to him, believe it or not, but I take full responsibility... Tell them a blind man named Alec Kane killed this kid today. Whatever happens after that... happens... Take care of yourself, Kunoichi... I am not the only monster wandering this world..."

Alec would walk off until he seemed to merge with the backgrounds of the surrounding areas and vanish from sight...

\Exit unless prevented\

Standing on the tree branch, she watched as the boy expired.  Crimson splashed out from his mouth and coated his clothes a darker red than even his own hair.  Having just met him, she didn't feel much for the boy's loss personally, yet there was quite a bit of shock.  One kick and the boy was out forever.  Whoever that white haired man was, Hanako made sure she would never forget that face, blindfolded or not.  That stoic face that wore such a smirk and now twisted into a look of disappointment.

The man's words seemed melodramatic at best.  It was almost as if the boy's death was just a petty inconvenience.  Although the killing of the boy would make him a murderer, seeing as this fight hadn't been a real one.  Being in the training grounds and even how the fight had started all pointed to the fight still being a spar.  So this would be a terrible convenience, something that the Hokage would need to know and deal with.  Something Hanako would probably have to deal with, yet first thing that needed to be done was to report his abilities before reattempting another battle.  She was certain that a battle would ensue if one tried to arrest this man.  He was much to prideful for jail.

It was his next words that surprised her the most.  He seemed completely calm and nonchalant about the kid having died even though he hadn't expected it to happen either.  Still, he confessed to it and told her to make sure that the village authorities know that Alec Kane was the killer.

Alec Kane.

Hanako repeated the name in her mind as the man slinked off with a walking stick.  What joke was he trying to pull with that cane when she knew perfectly well how agile he was?  His omen that the two of them might fight again one day seemed ominous, yet she wanted it to be true as well.  This man had tested her strength and she had found herself lacking.  A feeling she did not like in the slightest and would soon work to remedy her weaknesses.

She watched the man slink out of sight before leaving herself.  She slipped off the tree branch and landed on the ground, checking the dead boy's pulse in case there was any sign that he might be saved.  There wasn't.  Sadly, he truly was dead and now would most likely be joining those he had previously mentioned that he had lost, too.  There would be some solace in the fact that he would be with several of his fellow Hidden Cloud ninja and villagers, as well as his Raikage.

"You'll get what you deserve soon, Alec Kane." Hanako made the oath to herself.  "I'll make sure of that."

Knowing that the occurrences made here needed to be reported at once, she disappeared in a swirl of petals, her body slowly disappearing as the swirling petals rose up from around her feet all the way to her head.  When the swirling petals fell back to the earth, only the empty training grounds remained.  Having picked up the dead Kumo boy, she would soon be reporting straight to the Hokage about it all.
