Cloud's Chosen: ROOM 1

[Cloud Seer]

Team one: Kaze Santaru Kouin, Tsuyoshi Kiri (Hasegawa), Tsuyoshi Junko



Walking through room [number], the team of three found a plain, albeit useful room. Nine by thirteen feet, from floor to ceiling, the entire space was various shades of simple grey. Not a single window would be found. Instead of plaster, they padded the walls with sound dampening fabric, and if one were bored enough to pull that back, they found themselves surrounded further still by several inches impenetrable steel. The door behind them closed with a soft click and a lock. There would be no way for the group of men to ascertain what when on outside of the room. If there was a chance to back out before, their moment was now long gone.

Centered in the room, four foldable chairs surrounded a square plastic table. For the particularly neurotic types, a blackboard equipped with chalk and erasers was pushed against a wall. Opposite the board, they would see a camera with a blinking red light, letting them know, that big brother Kumo was watching. Finally, an especially thick, steel door stood opposite the entrance equipped with a heavy-duty triple-lock and no handle. “Your time to plan is up when the door opens.” Came a raspy call from the intercom directly above their head.

"T-minus "ten minutes" until round one begins. Please prepare yourselves." A voice crackled over the intercom.

Re: Cloud's Chosen: ROOM ONE



Entering room one, Junko left the door open for the others to enter as well. The sound of Junko’s shoes as he walked hit the padded wall, but there was no echo. The room was different shades of grey, nothing crazy and had simple things in the room like a plastic table, foldable chairs, and a blackboard equipped with chalk and erasers.

Junko’s eyes continued to trace the room and came to a sudden stop as his eyes sat upon the camera in the upper corner of the room. A red light continuously flashed on the camera, so they knew they were being recorded. The only question was, who was observing on the other side? Which was probably village council and various higher ups.

Not trusting anything in the room, pulled out an herbal cig and placed it between his lips. Giving his cig a light, Junko began to smoke before the action began. Placing his hands in his pockets, Junko simply stood near the camera. Almost under it. The camera could only move left to right based off the axis it sat upon and whatever was going to happen, the camera would catch every detail. So, it was simple. See what the camera would see and you could possibly tell where things would kick off at. For all they knew, the chalk board was a trap itself and it was best not to get relaxed.

Junko had only a few words. He knew a general idea of his teams skills and he had personally worked with Kiri for years. Based off the sennin’s versatility, Junko was sure he’d be able to adapt to his team accordingly. Rather through leading or by playing as a support. It would all be based upon what they were up against. ”I’m very versatile through Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, and Kinjutsu. Since we don’t know exactly what we’re up against. Adaptation will be the primary skill to lean on.”

And with Junko’s words, a voice cracked over the intercom with a sudden boom.

"T-minus "ten minutes" until round one begins. Please prepare yourselves."

And with the announcement, Junko’s hands were removed from his pockets. One hand rested over the hilt of his sheathed blade while he used his other hand to removing his cig from his lips. Blowing smoke into the air, Junko was ready.

Re: Cloud's Chosen: ROOM ONE

The Medical sennin and former Anbu Sennin were the first two to enter the room; the room was plain and otherwise nondescript aside from a chalkboard. They were all broken up into three teams of three; it was an interesting situation as they weren't sure if the successful team would all be advancing or if they would be picking the most excelling member of each group to move them on. It created incentive to work together, but still left an air of competition between the team. The camera in the room didn't bother him, he was used to being watched, unlike Junko, who positioned himself underneath the camera. If Kumo was worth any salt in their technology positioning under it would be useless with any updated CCTV system, it was just easier to let them observe.

He knew enough about his squad and how they probably meshed with each other, he was the only real wild card in the factor; that could play a key role in the trial ahead of them. This left him in a dilemma, tell them the truth of his capabilities or hold onto the truth; maybe it was an all-out free for all between the three to see who was the strongest. If that were the case than he would definitely would want to old out on what he could truly do. What to do, what to do... What do you think Tensai? He spoke to the voice of his swords, but he was only left with silence for a moment.

Predict. Adapt. Counter.

He couldn't have spoken truer words at such an unpredictable time and such limited information. He got up from his chair and stared at the sennin as he lit his 'herbal' cigarette, I respect your life choices but please don't burden us in an enclosed room. Please and thank you. With that said he approached the blackboard. As anyone who has heard of me, they know I excel greatly in the ninjutsu arts, and can handle myself quite efficiently in a number deficit. The last bit could be taken multiple ways, but he would leave it up for them to interpret. Kouin would pick the chalk up and twirl it deftly between his fingers and began to scribe on the blackboard in big white letters.

PREDICT.

ADAPT.

Counter.

These three words are strong enough to keep even a novice in the game for a time. All adversaries have a tell. Find that tell. Predict. He would place the chalk down on that note. Our opponents may change their style at the sight of their tells being noticed. You must be able to flow freely like water. Adapt. He would then turn to the rest of the group and stared at them both with his naturally piercing emerald rinnegan. Finally. Put everything together and strike back tenfold. The easiest lesson, but hardest to execute. Counter. Follow these three words and you can find success on the battlefield.

He began sizing up the two to see how they would fair against the rest of "The Nine" and for his own analytical purposes. Junko had a sword, but he was sure their were other sword-focused users that would be able to match him; generalist tend to get hampered by no clear focal point, but also no clear weakness which is a boon. Kiri was strong with ninjutsu like himself, but he has yet to observe his skills with his own eyes. He would have to wait to get better info on them in due time.

The intercom blared with a ten minute warning. Any questions?

 

[Kiri]

Re: Cloud's Chosen: ROOM ONE

Entering the room, they were greeted with a rather empty looking one, save for the table and chairs, and a lone chalkboard for their usage. The speaker in the room didn’t have to broadcast what they were used for when it was obvious that in every challenge or war, there was always the strategy building. It was important to get attuned with everyone’s roles before advancing. However, that’s probably what their little group had a bit of an edge at. Kiri had been training with Junko in the recent years, and he didn’t have anyone who knew his capabilities as well as he did. And then, there’s Kouin, whom he witnessed first hand could be quite the dangerous fellow… and also so happened to be his brother from a different father.

It was really a strange way that fate was trying to play around with him. This little team of theirs was like an unofficial family reunion of sorts.

But the reunion was met with varied responses. In fact, the first few minutes were left hanging in silence. Perhaps everyone had the same mind that knowing they were being monitored that this was little room was far from being the innocent gateway that it was. Needless to say, Kiri simply found a place a sit and waited. He didn’t have anything in particular to say, and he knew both of them, as they knew him or the other.

Ah. His eyes widened when he saw Junko light his trademark herbal cig. Now that he actually thought about it, he hadn’t had to take use for some time now. In fact, there hadn't been any need since that incident in the forest and his…. stupid choices. It made Kiri a bit uncomfortable knowing that the lack of such a thing reminded him of the absence of the stirring in his soul. For, after all, the real purpose of it was to harmonise the chakra that surged in his body without his constant watch. But his brother has been silent he woke from the incident. And as much as he would want to say he was alright, he felt a little empty in the heart.

And that’s when he realised he didn’t really know how to explain his strengths anymore now that he couldn’t really communicate with his brother inside. Looking up and listening to both Junko and Kouin, Kiri could only nod and quickly gather his thoughts to form the appropriate response. He first rose from where he sat and then placed an arm to rest on top of the crossguard of his sword that was tied to his obi.

“I can provide support, though my real strength is more towards… relentless barrage. One after another. I’ll manage somehow.” There was definitely some naivety to his words but that came along with his own words trying to convince himself. ’I’ll manage somehow’ sounded more like, ‘There should be no other option’

Re: Cloud's Chosen: ROOM ONE

Due to unforeseen circumstances with the mod, you have an additional three days to roleplay before the trials begin to allow for preparation time. (Sorry for the delay)

 

[Tsuyoshi Junko]

Re: Cloud's Chosen: ROOM ONE



As Kouin mentioned the herbal cig, Junko simply shrugged. Perhaps the guy had weak lungs or something. Who knows. Either way, Junko was half done and gave his cig a few more pulls before exhaling smoke through his nose. Outing the cig to be respectful of his teammates. Well, Kiri was use to it.

As Kouin spoke, he was pretty much on the same page as Junko. They both had the same idea and were both quite talented upon observing his emerald eyes. ”Ah, the rinnegan.” Junko thought to himself analyzing Kouin a bit more with his own rinnegan eyes behind his contact lenses. Within a moment, measurements and numbers were calculated in Junko’s head. Such as potential height, weight, and other characteristics that described Kouin.

Junko didn’t know much about him aside from the chaos he brought to the village years ago. After breaking in, the man before him took down the previous Anbu Sennin. Based off rumors and reports, a flare gun was at the scene. Yet, no one was able to make it to assist the sennin. It was sad really, but perhaps that sennin was simply too weak and hid behind the sheer name of sennin. Who knows.

Something about Kouin excited Junko deep down inside in the pit of his soul. Hopefully, many individuals could give Junko that feeling at the tournament if he was chosen. Junko couldn’t help it, he was a fighter. He was a Tsuyoshi. Each battle or spar made them stronger. Many days, it seemed like Junko was advancing in skill during battles or spars, revealing a unique skill of adaptation within the family bloodline itself, but he hadn’t had someone to push him in quite sometime.

His last spar was with Kitsune, who lacked true strength and combat skills. A spar that was unworthy of the sennin even drawing his blade. Before Kitsune, Junko suffered defeat against Umashi, leaf’s Hokage, but perhaps thats what Junko needed as he was getting too relaxed. That close battle and defeat rekindle the fighting spirit embedded in Junko’s soul, causing the sennin to grow stronger.

”Looks like we’re all set and on one accord. Let’s do our best rather we’re placed against each other or not. After this, perhaps we could all grab a drink or bite to eat.” Junko said with a nod as the intercom sounded off once more.

"T-minus "six minutes" until round one begins. Please prepare yourselves."

 

[Cloud Seer]

Re: Cloud's Chosen: ROOM ONE

Time was up. Any further chance of strategizing under a calm condition was over, and just as the voice over the intercom stated, the locks slid one by one opening the door as if it were a pressurized vault system.

“Team One, it is now your turn to enter the arena. Good luck, and may the odds be in your favor.”

At the behest of the person closest to the door, the three men would walk through a short, dark tunnel before walking into the blinding light of a large, roofed arena. A wall, about four feet high, surrounded what was to be their battleground. Cheers and music blared all around them as they entered the stage. Sounds roared across a stadium as their fans essentially lost their shit at the sight of their new celebrities.

In the front few rows, academy students were given a seat of honor so they could both see and be inspired by the men who would battle today. Excitement written across their faces as some nearest the combatant’s entryway leaned over the railing trying to get a high-five or score some cool keepsake from their new idols. Higher along the wall, a balcony of masked sentries stood, guarding the populated area, and--behind them--a crowd of citizens given the lucky chance to view the day’s proceedings. Any ANBU among the nine would find the sentries peculiar, as none of them sported the traditional mask synonymous with the elite division.

But what would take a majority of their attention, was the creation that rested on one knee before them.

​

With a fisted hand over its chest, the machine kneeled as if in respect to the three shinobi. It easily scaled twenty feet high at it’s full height, and ten in its current position.
A megatron-size screen was already lowered behind it. From the static, the image of their Raikage, Kogami Ayumu, appeared.

“Why, hello there! How is everyone doing?” Slowly, B.B.90-01 stood casting a shadow from the ceiling spotlights over the men and members of the crowd. “Huh, some of you look worried. Well, by now you’ve seen what you’re up against. Let me reassure you if you are concerned, it’s more powerful than it looks! Have to make sure you’re good and prepared for the tournament, now don’t we?”

You’ve been selected because you were those who stepped forward to face the challenge set forth to Kumogakure. Chosen because among those who stepped forward, you shined the brightest. The nine who came here today represent some of the boldest and strongest of our shinobi. However, nine is too many. Were it possible, I’d send the whole lot, but we are allowed only three.”

So I’m left with a difficult choice: who among you is most worthy? Who among you represents the pinnacle of not only our strength, but every quality that makes up the ideal Kumogakure shinobi? Today we will find out.

Impress me.“


The sound of corresponding cheers to Ayumu’s words were drowned out by steam emanating from the joints of B.B.90-01. The ground shook as it took a couple steps before sliding into a fighting stance. The thing appeared disturbingly agile for its size. The screen changed from Ayumu’s smug grin to a 3 second countdown. Familiar with what was about to happen from previous combatants, the crowd chanted along.

Three…

Two…

One!...

With the sound of the buzzer, the machine bolted into a headlong sprint directly at the three men.

[Please send your actions in to our saviour, the holy Umashi. You have the normal designated cut off time applied to any modded situation. Goodluck]

Re: Cloud's Chosen: ROOM ONE

Before sending me actions please make sure that you clearly understand the following . . .

1) I'm modding for 3 groups of 3 . . . if your actions fail to mention the passives/things affecting your actions, such as gaining +15% Shadow Damage due to being a Nara, then don't get overly upset if I miss something. Dummy proof your actions!

2) Links, links, links . . . Again, just like the above, time is of the essence, and trying to search through the shop for an obscure Acid ninjutsu isn't fun, and especially not if I have to do that x9 every round. It cannot be stressed enough, dummy/human/dog/platypus proof your actions!!!

3) I'm only human, and I have a life outside of NC. I'm going to miss things and my life comes before NC, always . . .

4) In harmony with #3, I typically mod Mon-Fri 9am to 5pm. Holidays and Weekends are toss ups for what should be obvious reasons.

5) It looks like you're in for an enjoyable ride, have fun!

 

[Kouin]

Re: Cloud's Chosen: ROOM ONE

The doors opened, the crowd was immense and sentries lined the top of the stadium. A giant T.V screen stationed behind a dormant robot of an immense size, This could get dicey quite quickly. The tv illuminated showing their Raikage on the screen. He spoke of the fellow Nine and the challenges that awaited them, and how he could only pick three out of nine even if he wanted to send the whole lot of them. Everyone of The Nine were skilled in their own unique way, some more than others, but they wouldn't have been selected had they been lacking in skill.

The Raikage wished them luck and requested that we impress him, and as the screen died of its light the robot whirled to life and stood on its legs. It towers over them, but he wasn't intimidated; he has faced far greater threat in the land of winds that a mere robot wouldn't, no couldn't make him flinch. He was ready for any challenge that Kumogakure could throw at him, and he would knock them out of the park with ease.

He took up his fighting stance, chakra whirled around his body like wave and circled up to his left arm before finally reaching his hand. The chakra formed into a ball and exploded outward in a burst of energy and light. When the visibility returned to normal what would appear in his hand was his sword, his partner, Tensai-Zentouken. The one true sword to finish them all.

Re: Cloud's Chosen: ROOM ONE



“Team One, it is now your turn to enter the arena. Good luck, and may the odds be in your favor.”

As the pressurized system began to activate to open the door, the trio was met with the rushing sounds of a cheering crowd. Making their way through the tunnel and into the arena, people were everywhere.

Sticking out like a sore thumb though, was a robot in the center of the arena kneeling as if it was showing respect to the trio. ”Now we know what we’re up against.” Junko said right before his Raikage began to speak. His speech wasn’t long or drawn out. Things were simple. This robot was the test. And with Ayumu’s final words, the Robot rose, casting a shadow over the trio.

Staring, Junko stood unshaken by the size of the junk yards collection of metal and bolts. One thing was for sure, if Junko was to ever be taken down. It wouldn’t be by a damn robot and with that in mind, Junko began to slowly un-sheath his blade forged by the legendary Sato Akira.

[Kiri]

Re: Cloud's Chosen: ROOM ONE

The strange, unearthly robot was rather menacing despite its initial silence. It was almost as if it knew how to use the power of anxiety against its targets. Kiri would not fall prey to such tactics. He has once used the tactic of using anxiety against his own enemies before and knew well that it could be devastating. As such, he calmed his heart and focused. Kouin and Junko were with him, after all. Things would be fine.

As the battle would commence, Kiri acted fast. Lowering himself as to limit the possibility of being targeted, Kiri then sent out his chakra-infused shadows running on the surface of the ground. It would quickly grab hold of the robot, limiting its movements. From there, he instantly shifted his chakra and the shadows binding on the robot would move to break the opponent without risking to releasing the robot from hold.

That allowed Kouin and Junko to strike the target with ease. When the Robot tried to retaliate, Kiri managed to dodge, one attempt having successfully substituted with his prepared Kawarimi target that had an acid vial attached to it. And the moment the substitution happened, the vial broke onto the Robot upon collison.

Then he would summon his Shadow Harbinger, a being made of black flames creating a silhouette of a samurai warrior that stood next to him. His confidence was building up as he waited for their next course of action. Just like Junko said earlier, best to wait it out, plan, adjust and then act.

Re: Cloud's Chosen: ROOM ONE

He took his stance and prepared himself for the culling. A wide sweep of his left foot dropped him into his stance, kicking up dirt as he brought it to a halt. Kiri didn't hesitate for a moment and brought the monstrosity to halt with an iconic shadow neck bind, a classic of the Nara clan. Kouin was a man who took opportunities like these to the highest potential, and wouldn't squander the chance to strike a defenseless target, not that the hulking construct was defenseless by any means.

With one swift movement he flew towards the hulk, Blade Waltz He started his barrage with a clean, flashing flurry of blades engulfed in a maelstrom of electricity. Though he wasn't finished, Blade Waltz: Heavenly Judgment He continued his flurry, but this time each strike dealt a concussive blow, which depending on the metal of the beast would leave dents marking the impacts. Kouin wasn't playing games; he signed up as one of The Nine to become one of The Chosen. He wasn't going to settle for losing, or even being a reserve, he was going to show the Council, and the Raikage that we was, and is one of the strongest contenders here, and he couldn't and wouldn't be stopped just like he had before.

Re: Cloud's Chosen: ROOM ONE

Across radios and televisions country-wide, the event of the nine began its broadcast. While each group of three fought their great opponent, the rest of the country listened and watched on…
_______​

“LADIIIIEESS AND GENTLEMAN!!!! At the sound of the buzzer, neither man nor machine hesitates in their attempts to pummel one another into the ground! Faster than the blink of an eye, Kiri, Kouin, and Junko equip various devices to take down the ever so powerful B.B-01! “

“With a flurry of handseals, it’s Kiri who draws first blood! Well, figuratively!” [Roaring cheers from the crowd swells through the speakers] “Out from the shadows below the metal giant, tendrils of black rope grasp and pull, locking BB in place, the mechanical beast turns it head toward Kiri, maybe perceiving the mednin in training as a greater threat than originally realized?!”

“Shinobi, let me smash.”

“Oh, but the distraction proves useful! Kouin dances around, fast as a bolt of lightning, striking blow after blow with the blade of his sword! And Junko is right behind him, folks, with a Rasen-Shuriken! I’m almost having a hard time keeping up! One-two… a perfect 14-hit combo between the two of them! It looks like they made a hefty dent in the monstrosity! ...the creature is taking a moment to assess the damages…. It appears it is trying to self-repair, but something is malfunctioning! Off to the side, something rises from Kiri’s shadow! A warrior of black flame! BB notices, and begins to struggle… the binds are struggling to hold BB down! They snapped! And BB is back in the gaaaame! Junko unleashes another series of attacks which BB is just unable to avoid!”

“Ro, ro, ro, your bot, gently smack the teeaaam~”

“What a weird response— but strangely relevant, as out of nowhere both Junko and Kouin are dodging and weaving as the our iron man charges at them! THEY’VE BEEN HIT! THEY BOTH GO FLYING, BUT ARE QUICK TO RECOVER! [The din of feminine screams can be heard over the ‘ouuuuh’ that came from the crowd] “AND BB DOES NOT BACK DOWN! With a flying kick, Kiri just barely avoids the danger, BUT KOUIN TAKES THE BOOT LICKIN’ FOLKS! It is not a good night for our Jounin! Junko, off to the side, brings forward a summon of his own… the Sennin’s eyes are glowing through the dust and steam... all competitors truly a sight to behold…”


____________________

Meanwhile…

A floor below, a series of hooded and masked individuals stand among steel beams, checking their watches before finishing the tasks they were given. A snap of fingers from a man by the doorway acts as the only signal. As a group, all silently move with ease towards the edge of the arena floor below. “Bravo team in position, package is ready.”

A man, sitting among the crowd, rubs his ear as the woman next to him screams in unaltered joy. All of it a calculated ploy. No one would notice him click the headset attached to his ear. “Alpha team in position, both the sentries and the masses are focused on the battle. The groups are also fixated on their opponent. On my signal…”

Re: Cloud's Chosen: ROOM ONE



The roar of the crowd was so immense, it sent vibrations to Junko’s bones. Upon the start, Kiri moved with speed. Unlike his younger days, the lad didn’t charge in blindly. He analyzed the situation with a mere gaze and took the appropriate action. Before the hunk of metal knew it, he was caught in a trap after Kiri’s Shadows slithered across the floor like a snake in the wild.

”Thats what I’m talking about!” Junko thought as all the robots movements were stopped by the strangle of Kiri’s shadows. Taking the opportunity and moving as one, Junko and Kouin pressed forward with blades in hand.

As Kouin slashed, Junko used a small portion of his chakra and took to the air with a single leap. Creating a rasenshuriken, chakra and wind swirled throughout the arena as Junko launched it towards the robot. With a directed hit, Junko followed up with intense speed as he seemingly vanished from the air and was now behind the robot.

His blade moved at a blinding speed, demonstrating a true master of the sword as a rush of strikes opened up the robot. Of course though, no bleeding would occur, but individuals would know that if Junko’s opponent was human. They’d be on their way to the after life, to the hospital, or both at the same time.

After a series of exchanges, the round came to an end, leaving only scratches on the shinobi. Upon close observation though, one would notice steam coming from the scratches as the wounds would begin closing. Must’ve been a perk of having a medical sennin on your team. Automatic heals.

Re: Cloud's Chosen: ROOM ONE

It was a strange thing. He couldn’t tell how or why, but for some reason, Kiri realized that without any spoken plan between them– any form of obvious meticulous planning– they were somehow synchronising with ease. Even as the Robot target seemed to have attacked Kouin and Junko with success, his ability to quickly switch places with a kawarimi target was quite handy, while the other two were sturdy enough to brush off the damage dealt to them. Then again, Junko was very much prepared with the healing should they ever need it. That didn’t mean that Kiri should let his guard down.

And so, the young shinobi would find his mark and channel his chakra into a foreboding aura that strikes the Robot. He was a bit uncertain it would do the trick, considering that the Robot was not at all bleeding despite the damage it suffered. Hence, there could be a lack of anything sentient about it. Ah, but he was most certain that this clunky massive thing was not on its own mind, and should have some form of consciousness that was making it move. As such, Kiri targeted just that.

After which, Setsuna– his Shadow Harbinger– went to move, quickly closing in on the enemy and began attacking with basic strikes of its shadowy katana. It was then when the robot may have seen him and decided to deal with him. Fortunately, Kiri was well prepared. Unlike his previous fights were the spurring of the beast inside him kept him almost equally eager to engage in combat, the Kiri at present was more in control and knew perfectly how to counter-act. As such, he would disappear from the line of sight of the enemy’s attacks, replaced by a kawarimi target designed with an acid vial. Upon collision, the vial would break and splatter all over the enemy.

At that point, Kiri would find himself a stable location where he could begin to prepare for his next course of actions. With eyes focused on the enemy, he began the handseal gestures as Kouin and Junko would keep the opponent busy. He noticed a spazz in the chakra in the air but ignored it as it didn’t seem threatening. Only when he was ready did he release his gathered chakra, summoning forth the moisture in the air until it formed a large serpent that coiled and turned black in color. The Shadow dragon would then roar as it flew towards the robot and crashed at it with intent to devour it. Instantly, Kiri saw another opening and sent forth another wave of his chakra, this time creating a form of a shadow shark that he once observed from Osu in the past. Recreating the memory, he sent the black assailant charging towards the Robot with ease before exploding.

And though he saw that the Robot didn’t seem to be affected at all, he was not disheartened, in the same way the other two were. Setsuna would continue to bare down strikes at the Robot in attempts to keep it busy for the rest of them to carefully strategise.

Re: Cloud's Chosen: ROOM ONE



As the battle went on, things were quite easy...in fact... very easy...

Junko wasn’t missing a beat as the trio’s movements were completely in sync. Forming another Rasenshuriken and launching it at the robot, Junko continued by forming a base hands sign. Suddenly, the bone shredding winds would begin to swirl in an upward typhoon and dive back towards the robot. As the wind souls cut and slice through the strong metal frame, Junko would slightly raise a brow hearing the immense cheers through the arena. ”Is this it?”
Junko thought as he’d make some distance.

A piece of Junko felt as if he drew his blade for nothing due to the ease of the task, but perhaps it was something more to this little charade that he couldn’t see. Only time would tell. Right now though, he’d simply focus on the task, evaluate the others, and stay on his guard. ”Teh..”

Focusing his chakra, Junko’s rinnegan eyes soon widened to execute his next jutsu with a simple glance. Immediately, gravity would control the Robot and pin it to the ground. As the gravity would increase, Junko would be pressing the piece of scrap metals face to the ground as if it was nothing.
