Welcome to Gaia! ::

In a massive field in the night, the two will begin.

"Hi~ Heiland Buddy!" Katsu mused, immediately charging his opponent with intense speed, slashing down his katana. As his blade slashed down, an invisible arch of chakra bled off it and launched itself forward, as to cut the Heiland if he back stepped. His smile gave it away; he really wanted to kill this person. The irrational beast, Katsu, charged in with nothing but killing intent, one of the only offense-specialized shinobi out there, always taking the first move, not patient enough to have a waiting match to let the enemy attack first like almost all the other shinobi in this tournament might do.

(#1 Heiland-Hater VS. Heiland)

Katsu, recognizing the Mist Style immediately, decided to take it up a notch. Though the moment he decided that, the ground erupted under him and spikes attempted to impale him. On instinct, he shed his skin and used it as a shield as it almost skewed him from behind, kicking off of it to avoid any other attacks the Heiland might have used, which is when the threads of light also pierced the clone. “Ha? See, this is why you Heilands are so annoying. Your face says it all, you’re probably thinking something like *I’m so much better than this guy*, right? ” Katsu stated, giving a helpless shrug and lifting his sword and readied a vertical slash, though he was nowhere close to Lucifer, he still continued. The moment he finished the cut, he performed a shallow jump, moving at the exact speed Lucifer had reached a moment before with his Lightning Sage and Mist Stance, while Katsu was currently using neither. His stride was in a straight trajectory, stopping just as he made another cut, this one horizontal and aimed for Lucifer’s neck. At the moment he slashed, he took a solid footing on the ground and had his other hand on the lower half of the hilt, giving him more power and allowing him to overpower Lucifer if he even attempted to block.

Chakra: 829/842

((Don't forget, you still need to call out the ninjutsu you use))

The flash blinded Katsu, which probably was going to last a minute or two until his eyes readjusted, but this didn’t disable him as much as it might others. The feel of the wind, the sound of cutting air. The Mist Style Users mastered the phenomenon of “Sound moving faster than light,” meaning how the body can hear and feel the waves of movement before the eyes can even translate it, though it was also blatantly obvious that there would be an attack following the hindering of the enemy, allowing Katsu to avoid the strike by shedding again and dashed out through his shoulder, away from where he felt his enemy being last as well as where he felt the attack coming from. Landing around ten yards away for safety, he realized that the opponent specialized, or at least used, light techniques, so thus decided to do something against it as well. He first performed the Hidden Mist Technique, stating his usage as the fog rolled in, to hide himself as he came up with a plan. He was at too much of a disadvantage by being temporarily blind, though he could probably still track movement nearby him, and he probably couldn’t shed his skin like that again, with the exception of “That” jutsu, so he had to be more careful. Katsu wouldn’t be able to use Mist Vision to see his enemy, but he had other skills at his disposal as well, though those could wait since he was sure that the Heiland had already prepared to act as he was hiding, taking a defensive stance.

"Again?" Katsu moaned, being cut off from the waist and being electrocuted from all angles. The mist cleared, the technique being cancelled, and all Lucifer would see was a half burnt body cut in half, the waist near the torso half. Of course, Katsu was still alive, but his honed mind kept him calm, allowing him to play dead. He really underestimated his opponent, which he obviously shouldn't have. He guessed there was only one thing to do now. After his opponent's jutsu ended, he used the technique that would now save him. "Togiretogire Karada Karigoya (Broken Body Shedder)," He muttered under his breath, just as his mouth broke open, a new body came out, launching itself in the direction of Lucifer, his lower half being like a snake tail from the waist down. "Shukuchi," he muttered once more, the ground ripping apart as he passed over it. Along with his Mist Standard Sword style, he became faster than Lucifer, in both reaction and physical speed, drawing the Shimuri, the Blastsword, attempting to ram it into him and blow him to shreds. Katsu was still smiling madly, as if he hadn't been on the brink of death a mere second ago.
(So you don't have to check everything I just did, Katsu now has Ex+ Spd)

(That's fine.)

"Screw it, I want to win," Katsu cursed himself, deciding to use his trump card earlier than he planned. He charged in, and without performing any handseals, he summoned a second blade, a pure black one that was shaped like an ordinary katana, however this was his masterpiece, the weapon that he was perfectly in tune with. An aura of death surrounded him that Lucifer would feel. Not fear, but just the feeling of incoming disaster. As a beam approached, it was still much too slow to catch Katsu off guard, as he slammed Shimuri down and had it explode to boost his jump, as his aerial ability was rather limited now due to his slither speed technique, swerving himself over it. The moment he landed, he began moving again, able to increase his turning speed and sharpness due to his serpent half, before his enemy had the chance to stop and reverse the momentum. He moved toward the pillar/twister of light, able to feel the energy radiating off of it. One might assume that it would be the ultimate defense, however Katsu had the ultimate sword, moving at the same speed of Lucifer's rotation now, spinning around and keeping an eye on the beams to make sure he wasn't caught off guard by a sudden change. He jabbed his black blade into the twister, cutting horizontally through it. The blade couldn't actually cut light, but it was unhindered by it, at the least. He then put chakra into it, having a chakra edge form inside of the pillar of light, and due to the circular motion and circumference of the twister, it basically became a circular chakra edge that was collapsing inward. This, of course, was not a normal chakra edge. To seal the hit, Katsu used his chakra control and expertise into editing the chakra's structure in order to make a chakra edge capable of easily cutting through diamond. As soon as he finished this, Katsu sealed the Shimuri as he bit his thumb, forming handseals as he pulled back after finishing his slice.
((Ah, I made an incorrect assumption, my bad. But still, I have plenty of things that can save me in this situation. Also, what rank was that defense?
Also, I'm 2.5 ranks above you in speed now, so it's still pretty high above you, I think, unless I'm still misunderstanding something.))

Chakra: 673

(considering the end of the only other fight that's ended i think that's a win for Muffin.... Tell me your other plans of defense before you use them and make a fool of yourself.)
