A Rank - Kizume Hyuuga

Hyuuga, Kizume lead Akira out to the mountain top where the mission had instructed her to go... She knew the details and so she would begin to explain these things to her friend and higher up due to rank.

"Alright, the mission from Mayumi states that we have to execute this run away bandit... He was part of the prison system but somehow managed to crawl out of his shackles and make some sort of base here... He is trying to round up a group to strike the village one day... Hence the reason behind the execution order.. He is a threat and could cause harm, injury or death to any village men, women and children..."

She looked to Akira... "This will... Be the second time I've killed someone... I'm not the strongest when it comes down to these things, but I want to prove to Sister Mayumi that I am worthy of her teachings, and to Haguro, that my clan hasn't made me into an incapable shinobi... Do you think that you can guide me through this?" She asked.

But in the distance, as nightfall came... Camp fires would be lit.
Akira seem to just follow a long casually but really was keeping a sharp eye out for danger. Of course he knew Kizume's eyes were sharper than his own but was always good to be prepared when she's not using her doujutsu.

He'd listen to the mission report and also takes note that she calls her 'Sister Mayumi' which he thought was interesting but did not comment on the matter. " Well if killing didn't bother you I'd be a bit worried." he chuckled reaching for a snack but seemed to spot himself since he was on mission.

"When it starts to get too easy to do. That's when you've been a shinobi for too long and you know to them they probably already think you're more than worthy. At least to me you seem more than capable" he says before a big grin crosses his face. "But sure... Of course I'll give ya' a hand."

He then waits for night to come and the campfires to start. " That your guy there?" he questions, pointing towards the fires.
Hyuuga, Kizume would continue to sneak forward, staying close to the shadows... She had to activate her Byakugan to confirm Akira's question... This was also for the sake of training her eyes to be capable of seeing over miles rather than just a few meters or half a mile...And due to the dice roll.. (Below 50...They notice us, Anything Above, and we're still concealed...) Being that of a 94! They remane hidden and out of harms way.

"Yeah, tht's him.. Rebus the Viper... Known for his poison tactics and carelessness for his team.. Anyone who sides with him, are just asking for certain death one day... When he fights, he shows no regard for anyone, and will even kill his own comrades just to land a petty blow on his targets."

She paused, "That's the kind of man we're dealing with, Rebus of the Poison Fist," said Kizune..

"Do you think that we should ambush them ... Or somehow cause the mountain to have a rock slide, t take them all out at once?" She wanted to make sure this was done right, but she did not want to make sloppy work out of it. If anything, this was also better training for both herself and Akira.
Akira sighs slightly. Of course it was a poison guy. It's always poison! However , that was the least of his worries right now. Not being able to see all that was in the camp like Kizume could, he'd have a question or two to ask of her.

"How many are there? Blowing the mountain although funny is a bit too messy for my liking for bandits. If it's just a few of them I can take out the  goons while you do that super fast strike thing to get the drop on Rebus. That... or we can just rain down some weapons with paper bombs. One of his poisons might be flammable making our job easier. Just depends on numbers."
Hyuuga, Kizume was pending her observation due to a wait in this event... The scene may change as an Event Character is being made to fit the setting. But for now, the two, Akira and Kizume would stake it out, and wait for movement from the bandits up ahead.

"There's many options but... We have to pick the most logical, and the one that'll keep the village safe from an avalanche."
Quiant would be at the clifs edge. He would be in a makeshift camp ground. He rested inside his tent for now as the fire burn outside to warm him up.
Hyuuga, Kizume scouting around the mountain with Akira, after traveling up with him and having their earlier discussion... The young Hyuuga princess would finally be able to confirm if there was just the one person at the camp, or someone else with them..

"Aki-san... It looks like its just the one there.. The intel wasn't clear on anything but a name it seems... So, they probably weren't locked up for long, or just... The interrogation team did a horrible job.."

She looked to the chuunin, her senior. "What should we do?"

From here, she'd try to focus her byakugan on the area that Quiant was located... This was her way of training those eyes, to look for threats before it was too late.
Akira stays as low and quiet as they could manage. They didn't really mind the information being off as it seemed like it was in their favor this time. One person just meant one target after. He'd briefly whisper back.

"Simple. Quick and decisive attack. I'll try to restrict them and help attack when I find an opening. YOu hit them with what cha’ got." he then reaches behind him to get his hand ready to attack. "Oh my mark. I'll bind them and you get'em." they continued in a whisper hoping they remained unseen on their approach.
Quiant would be sleeping soundly, but he was a light sleeper!
Akira thought now was a good time to attack! Instead of rushing to them, Akira thought it'd be better to bring him to them while he was un suspecting! The Akimichi would draw shuriken and quickly throw them towards the sleeping Quiant aiming to wrap around a stray arm, lifted leg, whatever was reasonable for their sleeping position.

Then... you guessed it... YOINK!! Akira pull the wires quickly after the binding to try to pull them out and over them. With Akira's impressive strength he should be able to bring him over if not pull Quiant so hard they get drag airborne as like a fish on a reel!

"Now." he briefly says to Kizume.
[AS 17. Assuming my dragging them is str/5 = 7 tiles]
Hyuuga, Kizume aiming to go for the knockout in order to proceed with the execution order... Kizume ran forth with her Palm Heel Strike ability set and ready for its use... If she wanted to be careful, she'd have to make sure that the man was still stunned for the time before they can deliver the killing blow..

'Stay Calm'... She thought to herself, running the risk of entering this fight with the berserker gene lying dorment just waiting for blood to spill... Though the plan was simple, Kizume was unsure if it'd work.. Because in the back of her mind remained the fact that this rogue escaped their villages prison system.

'Silently...' She thought, continuing with her attempt of attack.
Quiant would feel something tear through his tent. He would pop up from his tent and rip out the back! He grapped his and squinted at the two. "Hey! You are you two? Some to take me in huh? Never! I aint going back there!"

He said getting ready for a fight.
Quiant says, grabbed his pole*
Hyuuga, Kizume stopped dead in her tracks when she realized that Akira's plan only made it half way through... From this observation, she'd alert Akira, "He's a nimble one! Be careful!" She shouts, assuming a good posture for the Gentle Fist, keeping her eyes on the person in front of her.

And through her 360 degree vision.  She kept an eye on Akira for any sort of signal, remaining silent, with a focused glare at the one there before her. She tried to seperate her clan morales from the mission task. . .

"You won't be going back," was all she said to the criminal.
Akira needed to quickly think on his feet and move into a better position to attack from. He would start to sprint forwards trying to close in the distance in order to help Kizume as needed. They loop around the tent drawing more shrunken to throw six more Quiant’s way just to make sure to keep the pressure on.

"Unlucky for you bud." he says to them. "I hope the nap was worth it."
Quiant would spin his pole away and deflect the projectiles. "It was and so will kicking your ass and taking ya girl too."He said peeking to the hyuuga a bit and licking his lips. He hand not seen a girl in a long time and he was a fiend.

"Leave the girl and get out of here."
Hyuuga, Kizume had her eyes set on the target, and the more he taunted her, the more that little piece of evil was threatening to come out... As if it was teased by the chill of his words going down her neck and spine. The pure vision of such a girl alone with some bandit who only saw her as an object... It made her fearless for that moment, for she wanted to prove to herself,  and those around her, that she was not just a girl to look at and recieve lewd thoughts.

"Take that back..." She said whilst charging at the man before her, aiming to jump into the air and rotate her hands rapidly, whilst channeling her chakra to unleashing a slicing barrier meant for defense, but this time, used as an offense through self pride.

'I'll cut you to ribbons, till even your spirit has been torn asunder!' The thoughts of her bloodlust were creeping up... But there was that piece of her that tried to stay calm... She did not go berserk just yet, but just pushed into a fight, hurling down at her target from a JUMP...Descending with the Holy Eight Trigrams, Protection Method!
Akira eyes narrow into a deadpan expression. Did he really just? "Oh hell if that's all you want I guess I'ma be on my way." he says sarcastically as he widens his stance and raises one arm out towards him, palm facing his foe while the other pulls back to his side. Figuring he'd need come at this guy with a good amount of force he’d jet forwards towards this creep.

"Yeah, no deal. The girl is mine!!" he declares as his fist at his side expands. He aimed to do a quick straight fist strike for the man's side so that he could strike in quickly and make sure Kizume wouldn't get hurt should the man dodge him.

"Yeah,you tell'em!" he says to Kizume.
Quiant would, with the help of his staff dodge out the way of the hyuuga's attack only to move into the fist of the Akimichi. He would feel the impact of the fist and fly into the tent. "Your really starting to piss me off."

He said spiting out some blood and putting up his guard. "I aint gong back! He said as he would puck up some shuriken fromt he ground an toss it at the two!"

<20 speed>
Hyuuga, Kizume eventually began to lower her speed from the slicing barrier ability that was formed, only to do such TOO early... She could have maintained the barrier for protection at the cost of her chakra, but... The shuriken MAY or MAY NOT have been sliced.... If any were to pass through, then some would of course hit her..

But luckily, as decided by the EC.. Those shuriken would be sliced upon impact, with one possibly grazing her shoulder upon the final moment that she was letting this guard down... She would be grazed and the stinging sensation would travel through her body like a sudden life realization.. "I... Was hit," she said with widened eyes... The fact that she allowed her guard to drop so early made her wonder if she was being too at ease with the situation!

This feeling however... Was a predictive thought, because she was never actually hit, but, there was the feeling of anticipation waiting.. Knowing your skin would be sliced open, the feeling of being subjected to pain and not knowing when something so horrible was coming.

But she'd proceed forward, looking at the man standing before her... That bloodlust would begin to kick in even more, making her thirst for blood in return. And so, she'd take that stance, invisioning herself within a large black and green circle of the Eight Trigrams Seal..

Her attempt this time, was to utilize the 64 palms whilst she was close, to display and use her new ability in ana ctual battle for the first time.
Akira manages to connect! Was a good blow but it was only one. Now it was really time to give the criminal a pumbaling. Seeing him grab the shuriken, Akira would shift his weight. Kizume had the barrier so she'll be fine. Him on the other matter only had his armor so he'd take a glancing blow from the shuriken.

"Stay sharp!" he call to Kizume as he shifts in aiming a sweeping horizontal chop the their back. Kizume was striking faster than Akira was at the moment so he was minimize interference to make sure the girl can properly give this man the hyuuga hands but made sure to strike to keep up the assault

Though while seeing this display Akira's eye widened a bit. "Oh... oh...ooooh that's gonna hurt."
[AS 22 still ]
Quiant would feel the attack once more. A grunt made as he would block the attack but it left him wide open you what was about to be some hands by some girl. "Strong but not stroung enough!"
Hyuuga, Kizume counting the palms by number, she continued... "2 Palms...4...8...16 Palms...32 Palms...64 Palms---" But then... She stopped in her tracks as Quiant casually spoke during the jutsu's activation... "Not enough?..." She froze that moment and lept back! Trying to gain some distance from Quiant, not sure if he was bluffing or if he had truly took the full damage of his internals being struck directly.

She waited for him to move, and waited for Akira to speak on this action.. The girl wouldn't hesitate for too long though..Deciding to test that theory with a simple Gentle Fist Strike aiming for the left lung chakra point!

(100 True Damage if landed... Normal 15 Attack Speed. Basic Gentle Fist Strike)
Quiant would speak agai, "Imm stuff that little m-" he paused as she was too cocky for his own good! He was barraged wirh 64 palms and he stood in place.

His eyes rolled to the back of his head and he was KOED by the duo!
Akira was a bit surprised that Kizume already knew such a jutsu. She was much better than he gave her credit for but he also knew she couldn't have but so many tricks up her sleeve. So he'd try to make an opening for her so she could continue to do her internal damage while he did the external.

In one swift motion, Akira twists his body putting his full weight behind a powerful and fast straight arm palm strike to the chest but stop short noticing the man seem to already be out on his feet.

"How- oh he's out already... well time to finish it all I guess."
Hyuuga, Kizume stared at the man for a moment... Even if he was someone who... Insulted her. She truly wondered if this man deserved to be executed.. Or if the courts mistook his tomfoolery for the actions of a murderer... She was unsure of his record, but, in order to be someone worthy of the title given to her, she'd have to take action..

And so, with her Byakugan active. She would try something new, something that will one day grow into a true ability suitable for such things like execution... Her eyes were set on the eight inner chakra gates, most importantly, the one located at the center of the human heart, the Gate of Death... This was her development towards a jutsu that would one day become an S rank, and through her collective wisdom would she attempt it today...

She explained the theory in full... "I will give him a warriors death, one where he'll feel the peek of his own power...And be imprisoned by it as he is executed..." She delivers the strike, sending a lot of her own chakra through her fingertips, and into the heart chakra point in order to force it open for the finisher...

This might force him to unleash chakra at a rapid pace, so much so that his body will burn itself to ash whilst the other 7 gates will imprison his movements by trying to fight that rapid leakage coming from the 8th Gate chakra point... Everything else form this point on, was up to chance, but Kizume had delivered her killing blow, hence the name she'd one day give this jutsu.

"Kinjutsu: Forbidden Trigram: Death Gate Imprisonment."

Would this be the end, or will this attempt to execute be a failed one?
Akira wasn't sure at all what Kizume was talking about. Seemed like he had a warrior's death to him. He didn't die in his sleep at the very least but Akira wouldn't say a word and let Kizume do what she must. He could understand the reasoning somewhat at least and after all it was her mission and how she completed it was up to her.

HOWEVER, If the man did anything at all, even the slightest hostile move, he'd make sure to give him that Crushing TIde -Straight palm strike to his chest to stun him and make sure he didn't hurt Kizume.
Quiant was frozen in place. With a single poke, chara would enter his systetm and block off the energy to his heart. His body would grow cold as he dropped tot he floor dead....

<FINAL FANTAST FANFARE PLAYS!>
Akira lowers his stance and picks back up his shuriken. "I'd say that was a shame but I'm sure he was just shy of making a joke about how he was going to beat you with his pole."
Hyuuga, Kizume truly did see this through till the bitter end... Looking at the cold dead body, and onto Akira... "I actually did it... I fulfilled the execution," she said with teary eyes, looking onto the village... After all, they always did tell her, that the world, while being a Hyuuga noble was going to roll her down many events and trials of tears.

She was not cold, nor was she the sharpest tool in the shed... As a child, she may have had her fun, looking somewhat dumb, playing around with her hands in the shape of an L on her forehead..."It's really over," she went down to her knees... As she'd then reach into her bag, for a radio to alert the bounty system that the target had been eliminated, and where they could pick up the body.

Well... In memory, those years kept coming, and even now, they won't stop coming. For her heart, she reverts back to the old rules, but the old Kizume would hit the ground... Running... None of this made sense, the life of a shinobi when one should live for fun..

As the years go by, your head might get smart, but then, your brain, your true wisdom at times becomes dumb... But here, as she completed her first true B rank mission...With so much to do so much to see, so much wrong with taking the back streets in life...Her and Akira, they were like all stars at this moment... And for that, she is graceful that he came along, even turning around to give him a hug.. He was actually the first person she willingly gave a hug to without all the pressure..

I guess you can say that, you never know if you don't go... And you'd never shine if you don't glow.  But this.. Was a mission completed.
