Kasumi Tsunami: Attack of the 8 Tailed Beast (Open) [Plot]

[Deleted]

Within the early morning hours, Kumogakure's most valuable possession, Genbu the great Island Turtle would swim unnaturally close to Kaminari's coast. Having been moving throughout the world for the past few years, the mighty turtle had made its way back into familiar waters. Swimming up from the Kaijuu Ocean, and into the Mizu no kunian Kaizouku Sea, Genbu would rest within the waters of the Kasumi Straight, having made it's way back home. However, during it's voyage the Island turtle would be struct by a bolt of usually colored chakra. This bolt would take the form of a sentient beast of chakra, much like the ones that had attacked both Hi no kuni and Mizu no kuni. Within the time it took for the Genbu to traverse the world and return home, the great beast of chakra would tame the wild animals that called the turtle home, creating it's own kingdom, not knowing that the Island turtle was but a piece of the entire world.



All of this would change when the Genbu had stopped moving, the beast made of chakra could sense and feel different chakra sources, not far off from it's own domain. Some of which were strong enough to spark the inner bull within the monster, having already conquered the Island turtle, the great beast would turn it's sights on Kaminari no Kuni. Leaving the island turtle for the first time since it's creation, the great beast would leap into the waters of the straight and head towards one of the strongest nations within the world. The night on the Kaminari-Kasumi coast had been beautiful and serene, the coast was one of the most beautiful places within the lightning country and were frequented by the entire world. The waters within the Kasumi Straight shifted and turned, none of the tourist knew or even tried to pay attention to the waves of the straight which were highly unnatural, getting larger and moving closer as if like a pulsing heart beat.



Everyone was enjoying the calm before the storm, not knowing that their lives would end the very next day. The calm night before the next morning had came and went, as the sun rose within the darkened sky, a large surge of water was miles away from the coast, building in strength as it raced for the edge of Kaminari no kuni. The wall of water wasn't natural, in fact within it's depths swimmed a large a ushi-oni with four long horns on its head. Much of the beast's muscular upper-body structure, hunched back and arms with was hidden within the wall of water. Instead of hind-legs, its lower half consists of its eight tails, which resemble the cephalopod arms of an octopus. The beast had used it's chakra in conjunction with it's tails to swim through the Kasumi straight, creating a large wall of water surging towards the coast. It wouldn't be long before the country's coast guard issue a Tsunami warning, urging all people's to get to higher ground.



The heart beat like waves started to crash upon the coastline's shore.The civilians would flee, while the shinobi stayed behind to ease the damage that was to come, wave after pulsing wave hit the shore, until the large wall of water caste a shadow upon the land. Before coming crashing down upon the coast, sweeping through the small coastal villages. The wave held the power of an A rank water jutsu, it pushed buildings off it's foundation, those who hadn't moved more inland had suffered the most. Women, children, fathers, even brothers and sisters were washed away then pulled within the ocean, as the waters receded. Instantly, shinobi on guard at the coast would go into action, using the water walking jutsu to stand on the rapidly moving and unpredictable waters. Moving in to rescue survivor the engaging Shinobi would be greated by the gigantic beast, swinging and thrashing it large cephalopod like chakra tails.



The average shinobi who were guarding the coast were no match for the beast's might. While at one time they probably would've put up a harder fight, since the creation of the shinobi villages, there hasn't been any invasion and the world had witnessed a slight peace. Because of this the small platoon of shinobi who were to guard Kaminari's coast line were not only unprepared, but also unrefined, especially compared to those who reside within the Hidden village. The large beast slammed it's tails, breaking the ground and sending shinobi flying, as their bodies went into the air it would catch them within his palms, crushing the life from their bodies. "Will none of you offer Ore-sama any contest? I have bested the inhabitants in my domain... Fight Me and protects your lands" the beast roared stating it had conquered the Island turtle's animal life and wish to test it's might against the inhabitants of Kaminari no kuni. The Hachibi's personality tough and serious, It used "ore" when referring to itself, showing the it held itself in high regard, when it spoke it's dialect was rude having learned it from the few shinobi who wondered onto Genbu in the past.

[Ūdemikōshi・Mikijōnara]

As stories of great beasts, clearly not native to this world, began to crop up, Miki bolstered the training regime of his shinobi; however, the man refused to actively seek out the beats, as some others chose to do, having no desire to bring unnecessary strife to his village. It wasn't until  Jizarashi, the spider sentry of Pipsqueak Mountain, alerted Miki of such reports on the coast of Kaminari no Kuni about a terrifying beast rampaging that the Raikage realized the brevity of the situation and jumped into action. The giant was determined to not let the lands under his watch be destroyed, and as such his first action was to visit the three matriarchs of the 7th Heaven mountain range. Traveling via the Rainbow Spacebridge's [Heavenly Transmission] method, Miki pleaded with the matriarchal triumvirate, reminding them the promise they made to protect Kaminari no Kuni. Begrudgingly, the three mountain sentries1 slowly amassed themselves towards the last reported sighting of the beast. Miki then amassed the 5th, 6th and 7th-year GUNBU operatives2 together, while 1st through 4th year operatives were tasking with protecting the villagers and civilians of Kumogakure at all costs; this decision would be a notable turning point, as it was the first time Miki actively lead GUNBU since unofficially handing over the reigns to his hanchō, Tennin Kaede.  The next step was mobilizing the clans of Kumogakure, but Miki was apprenhensive to imploy the Yokoshima and the Isōrō for their previous hostilities. This time was different, however; Miki would not take no for an answer this time. Using the Rainbow Spacebridge, Miki sent the clans3 to the battlefield, sending himself first. It was here that Miki assigned each of the seven clans their own brigade, while the three mountain sentries, Nozarashi, Jizarashi and Zaizarashi were each their own; Miki lead the Ūdemikōshi, using the [Shadow Clone Technique]4 to create nine clones, one to lead each brigade. Upon seeing the great beast before him, Miki was genuinely unnerved; clasping his hands together the man shared his message with the small brigades before him. "May the Great Seven-faced God grant us strength today. I'm proud to have served all of you. Now let's show this monster what the Hidden Cloud Village is made of!" It was then that Miki turned towards the great, many tailed octopus-ox hybrid, just barely 100 meters distance away, a newfound bravery flooding him. DON"T YOU DARE LOSE TO THAT FREAKSHOW! I SWEAR I'LL HAUNT YOUR EVERY BREATH! Miki smiled to himself, Kurahama's half-assed threat adding more fuel to protect the things he held dear. Flexing, Miki let out the loudest, fiercest roar he could muster5, before channeling Kurahama's aura of wickedness deep in the recesses of his soul. Performing the seal of confrontation, Miki roared again, this time expelling Kurahama's chakra into the air, saturating his surroundings with Kurahama's vile aura6."HEAR ME NOW, YOU GODFORSAKEN ABOMINATION! THIS IS YOUR ONE, AND ONLY, WARNING; LEAVE NOW, OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES YOU BRING UPON YOURSELF." Without another word, Miki released the seal of confrontation, letting Kurahama's vile chakra slowly disperse. While Miki wasn't close enough for Kuraham's aura to actively affect the great beast before him, it would serve as a very real warning. Not wasting another second, Miki activated his [Lightning Release Armor; Chakra Mode]7, the technique that allowed him to solidify his position as the Nidaime Raikage. As a final measure, Miki and each of the clones leading their brigade created nine [Afterimage Clones]8. If the beast would not be deterred be the sheer numbers before it, Miki would show the beast Kumogakure and Kaminari no Kuni were not to be tested.

PREP TIME: 1 post
DESCRIPTION:

Inspired by his wicked anger issues, Miki devised a way to channel his temper. After channeling chakra to his throat, Miki will yelll loudly, perceived by those he wishes to be a deafening, feral roar, triggering the illusion. Miki's body will suddenly appear to be wholly enveloped in a deep midnight-purple shroud of dense, sludge-like chakra. His sweat appears to become acidic, dripping in globules and burning the ground beneath him, creating a cloud of steam upon impact. His teeth and nails appear to lengthen into claws, while the tuft of hair on his head increases in length and volume, reaching down past his shoulder blades; this gives Miki the appearance of a feral lion man. Those affected by the illusion will experience a degree of anxiety, ranging from nervous sweats and shaking to paranoia, pure terror and an inability to move. Due to the effects of this illusion stemming directly from Miki's angry chakra aura, the effects are slightly more potent than an illusion trying to induce a sensation with pure chakra alone.

Testament of Thunder and Lightning⁶

The epitome of Kurahama' wicked nature, his chakra manifests through Miki in a unique way. Miki's chakra appears to those able to see or sense it as a blend of jetblack and purples. Typically unnoticeable during the nighttime, in a well-lit area or on a sunny day one would notice the air around Miki appear darker and heavier. This gloom by itself does nothing more than provide a mellowing shadow, passively extending outward in a [5m] radius; while capable of combat, Miki must refrain from using A- or S-rank techniques of any kind in order to maintain the chakra aura. If he concentrates and performs the seal of confrontation, Miki can extend the wicked chakra aura outward up to [25m], allowing him to more greatly and directly affect others. Kurahama's chakra aura is of such a nature that sustained contact will begin to cause those affected to become filled with anger, violence and even bloodlust. Should Miki touch an individual while contrating Kurahama's chakra aura, he could subtlely influence said target to perform malevolent actions unconsciously. That is, the victim may perform said actions in the mindset that he/she is doing them of their own accord, when truthfully the suggestion of another (Miki) is compelling the victim.

CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: 雷遁 | Raiton [Lightning Release]
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium - Very High [Constant]
RANGE: 0 - 3m [self]
REQUIREMENT: learn from Ūdemikoshi Mikijōnara; Chakura no Yoroi
DESCRIPTION:

Shrouding himself in a dense veil of Raiton chakra, Miki creates a translucent aura of pure electrical energy. Instead of directly being used for offensive purposes, the electic veil works both to protect Miki with a constantly flowing armor as strong as tempered steel, drastically reducing, if not completely negating, damage from incoming attacks [a-rank and below; b-rank fūton are able to damage the user, while b-rank raiton can temporarily negate the technique alltogether]. On top of this is the simultaneous enhancement of Miki's body's physical capabilities, the electricity forces his muscles to work several dozens of times harder than normally possible by stimulating the production of lactic acid to dangerous levels, temporarily granting Miki titanic strength. This increased strength ranges from breaking bones to even being able to tun steel into puddy.

The most notably enhancement this technique provides however, is the simultaneous stimulation of each and every neural synapse to increase both Miki's reflexes and efficiency of bodily energy usage. Such an enhancement leads to Miki gaining inhuman reflexes, being able to react timely to attacks that could range an entire battlefield in a moment. The technique speeds up neural synapses to react faster, and to push physical prowess to the absolute limit, allowing for tremendous raw speed. This armour, when combined with taijutsu, allows the user to utilize a branch of taijutsu techniques casually referred to as nintaijutsu (or taijutsu supplemented with ninjutsu). When using the armour at full power, Miki's reflexes are said to be comparable to the infamous Hiraishin technique, thus making it difficult for even for the Sharingan to keep up with him. This technique has incorrectly been referred to by some as "Raiton Shunshin [lit. "lightning release body flicker"];" when activated Miki claims he can quickly evade even some of the quickest deployed technique such as the Sharingan's legendary Amaterasu and chakra blast attacks, both at point blank range. It is said that the speed of the lLighting Release Armor: Chakra Mode can best shinobi who have dedicated a lifetime of training in the art of speed- but only by a small margin. The perfected mode [very high chakra cost] of this technique is enough to rival practitioners of Hachimon.

Similar to the celestial gates, such a burden places strain on the body unless the user wields immense durability, as is Miki's case. To account for this weakness, Miki is capable of manipulating the intensity of the jutsu's abilities, with rising static hair marking the highest level of the armor's power. The downside is the massive strain on muscles and depletion of chakra when utilizing this technique.

Medium: The first and lowest stage, this grants Miki speeds equivalent to the 3rd gate; at this level, Miki can easily travel in a linear or curved path, the latter even possible as full circles. He is granted lifting capacity 50x his own body weight; the strength increase allows Miki's strikes to splinter wood, break bones, and crack stone. The lightning chakra armor extends out one meter [1m] in all directions from Miki's body; anyone who makes contact with the armor will find themselves violently shocked, invoking violent muscle contractions lasting half [1/2] a post. Miki can maintain this level for ten [10] posts before tiring and deactivating the technique.

High: The second, and most-often used, stage, this grants Miki speeds equivalent to the 5th gate; at this level, Miki can travel in a linear or curved path, albeit the latter is restricted to 45° turns in an arc fashion. He is granted lifting capacity 100x his own body weight; the strength increase allows Miki's strikes to splinter bones, shatter wood, dent stone, and bend steel. The lightning chakra armor extends out two meters [2m] in all directions from Miki's body; anyone who makes contact with the armor will find themselves violently shocked, invoking uncontrollable muscle contractions lasting one [1] post. Miki can maintain this level for seven [7] posts before tiring and deactivating the technique. before tiring and deactivating the technique.

Very High: The third highest and most powerful stage, this grants Miki speeds equivalent to the 7th gate; at this level, Miki's direction of travel is limited soley to straight lines, whether the path is zigzaged or directly from point A to B. The lightning chakra armor extends out three meters [3m] in all directions from Miki's body; anyone who makes contact with the armor will find themselves violently shocked, invoking uncontrollable muscle contractions lasting two [2] posts. He is granted lifting capacity 250x his own body weight; the strength increase allows Miki's strikes to shatter bone, turn wood into sawdust, pulverize stone into sand and eventender steel into puddy with multiple strikes. Miki can maintain this level for four [4] posts before tiring and deactivating the technique.

DESCRIPTION:

An example of Miki's upper-echelon level chakra control, Miki devised a clone technique stemming from the lightning release armor itself. Much like the Afterimage Cicada Shell technique, Miki will create "shells" of lightning chakra in his likeness, allowing them to continuing existing by forcefully stabilizing and maintaining the electricity's vibrations. Using this method Miki is able to create up to NINE [9] CLONES. Each clone is able to act on its own and use any taijutsu, bukijutsu or raiton techniques Miki knöws, due to each having its own chakra pool. Due to the nature of the clones, however, each only lasts as long as Miki has the lightning release armor active, and will disperse as soon as the armor is deactivated or canceled. Unlike a normal clone technique however, A BLOW OF EQUAL POWER [b-rank] is required to disperse the clone; wind release techniques [c-rank or above] are able to disperse the clones as well.
NOTE: The clones are able to use any taijutsu, bukijutsu and raiton ninjutsu Miki knows. However, they are unable to use any lightning release armor-based techniques due to the strain it would cause, effectively forcing the clone to disperse.

The Hachibi had destroyed the coastline where it had made landfall, with damages dwindling further along the coastline away from the epicenter. Soon the great beast would sense a massive group of individual humans and even animals, with chakra signatures beyond those he had just killed. The arrival had made the beast halt its assault on the coastline and move to greet the human’s who stood before him. It seem that luck was on the Ushi-oni's side. The very chakra signature that had brought on the creature's challenge was seemingly leading the humans. The strongest of all the signatures, the human’s leader spoke in a loud thunderous voice. Gyuki respected the man’s straight forward and blunt personality, however he was not going to back down.

As the man spoke, the great beast could seen the human’s chakra clearly. It was vile and potent, his body suddenly appeared to be wholly enveloped in a deep midnight-purple shroud of dense, sludge-like chakra. His sweat became acidic, dripping in globules and burning the ground beneath him, creating a cloud of steam upon impact. His teeth and nails appear to lengthen into claws, while the tuft of hair on his head increases in length and volume, reaching down past his shoulder blades. Unknowing to the beast, the man had used a Genjutsu that was triggered by his voice. The Hachibi paid no mind to the man’s transformation, he cared little about what type of creature he was, all he wanted was to test his strength against the man’s.

The beast roared loudly visibly angered by the man’s choice of words. “Abomination?! You dishonor yourself human…. Allow me to show you my power. Then may be you'll learn some respect” the Hachibi wasn’t one to back down, especially not after being insulted. Did the human honestly think he was mindless? Or an abomination. The Hachibi would make him regret those words, using the immense strength within its tails the demon would launch itself into the air, being a someone who loved battle the beast was highly analytical and noticed the bats that littered the sky. Curling into a tight ball, the Hachibi would spin violently extending its tentacles out with great force. This would kick start a tornado from the winds his tentacles created during it’s rotation.

While large enough to cause moderate damage to those on the ground or within the air the tornado itself was merely a defense against the man’s bats. The real attack would come after, as the Hachibi spun violently within the tornado it would expel ink throughout the battlefield, drenching both the bats within the air and the shinobi on the ground below. Once this was done the beast would stop spinning, and use a hand seal initiating the Fūinjutsu: Okutopasu Hōrudo jutsu. A fūinjutsu the Hachibi made for fighting a large number of enemies(usually the beast of Genbu). Within three seconds, the target's entire body is dyed by ink, completely sealing their movements; escape is impossible.

The beast would come crashing to the ground within the middle of the man’s forces. “DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?! FIGHT ME ALONE OR ALL YOUR SUPPORTERS WILL DIE… I CHALLENGE THE STRONGEST HUMAN HERE TO FIGHT AN HONORABLE FIGHT” The Hachibi roared while his chakra flared, it held enough power to physically effect it’s surroundings, causing the ground around it to crack, the air to become dense and even levitate debris within it’s immediate vicinity. While it probably wouldn’t be noticed at the time, the Hachibi had chose to use it’s fuinjutsu to render Miki's army useless. This would force the man to fight the Hachibi alone, which would leave a great impression on the beast, as he honored strength and loved fighting.

[Ūdemikōshi・Mikijōnara]

Miki's grinned wider as he heard the beast roar, clearly provoked by the man's insult. Not the slightest bit intimidated, Miki returned the challenge with a deafening roar of his own. "My respect is not given out like some reward! If you want my respect, then you will earn it!" Miki watched the beast carefully as lt launched itself into the air, directly into a cloud of Nozarashi's1 split form. The man was not surprised the bat sentry's swarm form did little to hinder the beast; however, that was not why the sentries had been summoned. As smaller versions of Zaizarashi1 and Jizarashi1 raced around the battlefield catching ninja sent flying by the beast's whirlwind, Miki performed the seal of confrontation twice, before making a cross and pointing his hands at the sentries. "YOU HARM EVEN A SINGLE HAIR ON ANYONE HERE AND I SWEAR TO THE SEVEN-FACED GOD I WILL MAKE SURE THE REST OF YOUR LIFE WILL BE SPENT SMASHED INSIDE A PEARL!" Without needing to say a word, the three sentries shivered before seemingly exploding into oblivion. In reality, the sentries quickly reverse summoned their bodies back to the battlefield, removing the sticky ink coating them, before recollecting themselves around the small army gathered. While it was made very clear the sentries would not be able to fight directly, Miki would not let their presence go to waste. Due to the summons unique connection to the Rainbow Spacebridge, the trio would send those on the battlefield back via the [Heavenly Transmission] method when the time was right. Meanwhile, each of the kage's shadow clones2 would strike the ground with their left gauntlet, initiating the preparation for the [Mountain Protection Charm: Wicked Magic Calamity Warding] barrier3. The Ūdemikōshi and Raijin4 awaited orders anxiously, giant scrolls containing immeasureable amounts of water sealed within slung across the backs of dozens; easily enough to provide the sealing technique the necessary ammunition for an attempt to halt the beast. The necessary precautions taken, Miki roared once more to catch the creature's attention; however, this time the genjutsu-empowered warcry5 carried with a palpable degree of ferocity that even the mega-beasts nearby, normally unperturbed by such an attempt of intimidation, would flee in terror; for the beast, it would experience a strange feeling of dread, briefly keeping it from moving."YOU WANT TO SEE POWER? I'LL SHOW YOU POWER!" Miki would then flex, yelling intensely as if enraged, causing the lightning armor surrounding his body to suddenly increase in size three-fold.6 Forgetting the army behind him, Miki was envigorated by the cheers, whoops and hollars of his ninja. Risking no more than a quick glance backward, a grin plastered on his face, the man would then launch himself forward, creating a small crater in his wake as he suddenly rocketed7 towards the bull-cephalopod, covering the distance in a mere instant. Without hesitation Miki would launch a flurry8 of full-power9 punches at the beast, followed up by pushing away from the beast with a devastating flurry of kicks10, intending to end the confrontation as quickly as possibly. If the strikes made contact, the beast would no doubt be sent flying backwards, if not airborne, as well as receiving a nasty shock from his lightning release armor. "HOW"S THAT FOR POWER?!"

RANGE: 0 - 100m
REQUIREMENT: --
DESCRIPTION:

Created by the most skilled fūinjutsu users in Kumogakure as a means to be an ultimate village defense against the Ten-tailed beast, this technique truly holds up to its appointed status as a legendary barrier. Performing the seal of confrontation, the user will begin to build up a massive amount of chakra, requiring roughly [2 posts preparation]; the user will then release said chakra, causing massive amounts of chakra to erupt from one's tenketsu, creating an ethereal, billowing, dense fog-like cloud. The large quantity of chakra quickly forms into A LARGE DOME AROUND THE USER, COMPOSED OF TWO LAYERS OF HUNDREDS OF SMALL HEXAGON-SHAPED STRUCTURES, appearing a very milky white. It is not the numerous amount of hexagons which make up the dome that make it such a powerful defense; between each hexagon is a chainmail like sheet comprised of word shiki-formula in the the shape of the word sen [翦, lit. "annihilate"]. By condensing the shiki-formula surrounding each individual hexagon, the shiki-formula act as a thick layer of flexible chainmail. The condensed shiki-formula acts as a buffer of sorts; the hexagons are all separated by a mere 5cm of unprotected space, occupied by the chainmail-chakra holding the dome together. While the space is incredibly miniscule, a Jōnin could fit a kunai or other such tool in the crack, assuming another can spot the small chink, let alone throw a weapon with enough force to bypass the sticky chakra. Coming in contact with the chakra creates no ill effects to anyone. In other words, the first layer of shiki-formula hexagons reduces whatever touches the barrier by seal away anything that touches it, while the second layer finishes the job, catching any "stray" material that made it through the first barrier.

The user is able to counter assaults on the small areas of space by smashing any given area of shiki-formula hexagons together to form a less vulnerable defense; however, the user must first be able to see the attack being countered in order to react according. Otherwise the dome will take the hit head on, and repair itself as needed. The most unique feature of the dome is what some coined Jigokunome [地獄の目, lit. "Eye of Hell"], in which the user will open a section of the dome by folding sections of the hexagons over each other. This allows any allies or clones the chance to attack while the user continues focusing on defense. These gaps can range in size anywhere from a hand width to allow for small weapons like kunai and shuriken, to many meters allowing a volley of jutsu or weaponry to be released. Due to the gaps causing a disruption in the dome's harmonic resonance, lest the area opened collapse, gaps may be open no longer than [2 posts] at any given time; the user must wait [1 post] before opening any gaps again in order to regain complete resonance of the dome. There is no limit as to how many gaps the user may create a gap at any given time, but the less gaps open, the more the user can create. Due to the massive concentration and chakra this technique requires, the user is unable to use any other form of jutsu, as well as having to remain stationary (disregarding shifting one's footing or body position), as long as the technique remains active. The user can use this technique no more than [10 posts per use] and no more than [twice per thread]; while one use will significantly drain the user's chakra and severely hamper one's fighting capability, using this technique a second time in a row will ensure unconsciousness upon the technique ending.

The lightning chakra armor extends out two meters [2m] in all directions from Miki's body; anyone who makes contact with the armor will find themselves violently shocked, invoking uncontrollable muscle contractions lasting one [1] post. Miki can maintain this level for seven [7] posts before tiring and deactivating the technique. before tiring and deactivating the technique.

Very High: The third highest and most powerful stage, this grants Miki speeds equivalent to the 7th gate; at this level, Miki's direction of travel is limited soley to straight lines, whether the path is zigzaged or directly from point A to B. The lightning chakra armor extends out three meters [3m] in all directions from Miki's body; anyone who makes contact with the armor will find themselves violently shocked, invoking uncontrollable muscle contractions lasting two [2] posts. He is granted lifting capacity 250x his own body weight; the strength increase allows Miki's strikes to shatter bone, turn wood into sawdust, pulverize stone into sand and eventender steel into puddy with multiple strikes.

雷遁の鎧・乳酸火口岩飛び | Raiton no Yoroi: Chisuikakō Iwatobi⁷
[Lightning Release Armor: Lactic Acid Crater Rock-Skipping]
CLASSIFICATION: Taijutsu [Nintaijutsu]
ELEMENT: 雷遁 | Raiton [Lightning Release]
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium - High
RANGE: 0 - 100m
REQUIREMENT: Raiton no Yoroi: Seikihō; Raiton no Yoroi: Zanzō Shunshin
DESCRIPTION:

While the Lighting Release Armor: Chakra Mode is active, Miki will focus Raiton chakra into his legs, specifically targeting the muscles within the calves, shins and soles of the feet. After roughly three [3] seconds, enough Raiton chakra will have been gathered, upon which Miki will release said chakra in a violent, controlled explosion beneath himself, aiming his body in a specific direction. As Miki's body is launched in the direction of his choosing, a small crater roughly three meters [3m] in diameter and one meter [1m] deep will be left behind, displaying Miki's strength. The distance traveled can vary from a single [1] meter up to one-hundred [100] meters. The sheer explosive force of this technique allows the distance to be covered in mere seconds. Unlike the lightning release armor: afterimage body flicker technique, this variation can be used to supplement Miki's strikes, be it kicks, punches, headbutts, etc, granting him the ability to shatter bone, splinter wood and even crack stone. Due to the dangerous nature in which this technique is executed, Miki may perform this no more than five [5] times within a 24-hour period OOC. Surpassing this limit would inevitably shatter the bones in Miki's limb(s), requiring immediate medical attention.
NOTE: This technique is an improvement to the Lightning Release Armor: Afterimage Body Flicker technique.

雷遁の鎧・雷王拳 | Raiton no Yoroi: Raiōken⁸
[Lightning Release Armor: Thunder King Fist]
CLASSIFICATION: Taijutsu [Nintaijutsu]
ELEMENT: 雷遁 | Raiton [Lightning Release]
CHAKRA USAGE: High - Very High
RANGE: 0 - 3m [arm's reach + chakra armor aura]; 0 - 10m [impact with ground]
REQUIREMENT: Raiton no Yoroi: Seikihō
DESCRIPTION:

Simple in application to its sister kicking technique and equally as devastating in its results, While the lightning release armor is active, Miki will concentrate the lightning chakra specifically into his shoulders, arms and fists, allowing him to UNLEASH A FLURRY OF HIGH-POWERED PUNCHS, each able to turn bedrock into rubble; once the technique is in progress, however, Miki cannot move until he stops. A few [3] grazing strikes will leave a target heavily bruised and potentially with fractured bones, but otherwise unscathed. Sustaining damage from multiple direct hits will result in a target being temporary incapacitated (but not fatal unless struck in the head). Should Miki's strikes connect to a grounded target, he is capable of creating a crater 10m in diameter upon impact. Due to the sheer force required for this technique, it cannot be used no more than three [3] time per thread, while a fourth use would cause severe muscle tearing and require medical attention.

极高峰戉・力我慢 | Gōkōnejū: Rikigaman⁹
[Spartan Warrior: Strength and Endurance]

Miki has trained in taijutsu for nearly three decades, 3/4 of his life, undergoing the incredibly demanding training regiment of the Ūdemikōshi clan to increase his physical abilities to match that of a true Ūdemikōshi spartan. As a perpetual training method, Miki is almost always seen wearing his massive weighted vambraces; at it stands, he no longer notices the staggering weight of the vambraces, though the weight still affects his agility immensely. The Ūdemikōshi training regiment combined with his weighted vambraces has allowed Miki to develop a lifting capacity 250 times his own bodyweight; this grants him the ability to perform feats of monstrous strength such as lifting a fully grown kodiak brown bear over his head and walking with it, showing no sign of fatigue or exertion. Miki's core muscles have also been strengthened, granting a quick and smooth release of kinetic energy from his limbs and body.

His strength is near the pinnacle of what the human body is capable of, allowing him to reak the bones of an average human or withstand a punch that would normally break a person's bones while having no trouble destroy boulders and steel doors with a single punch. Given the opportunity, this strength can also be used to lift an incredibly amount of weight or block punches from other incredibly strong individuals. His limbs able to break or sever bones and limbs as easily as any tree, rock, weapon or armor, even capable of bending or damaging the famed nebium steel. His body is composed over more than 90% muscle mass as he has tightly knitted muscles and more muscles per square centimetre in his body. Miki can effectively carry almost 25 tons and still effectively move at speeds matching jōnin taijutsu secondary specialists.

As for strength he has yet to find a single thing that cannot be crushed by his hands, be it metal, wooden, rock, human, animal alike; nebium steel is no exception. His strikes are considered the most devastating in Kumogakure given his ability to shatter and hollow out bedrock, and even pulverize steel into a malleable putty-like texture, with nothing but simple punches, kicks and bodychecks. When combined with the speed granted by the [Lightning Release Armor: Chakra Mode] techique, Miki is able to access strength on par with the higher-level chakra gates.

A few [3] grazing strikes will leave a target heavily bruised and potentially with fractured bones, but otherwise unscatched.

Should Miki's strikes connect to a grounded target, he is capable of creating a crater 10m in diameter upon impact. Due to the sheer force required for this technique, it can be used no more than three [3] times per thread, while a fourth use would cause severe muscle tearing and require medical attention.

When it came to battle the Hachibi was in it’s comfort zone. After having tried to rid the battlefield of the weaker human’s by not only blowing them away but also sealing them with his Ink. The beast's efforts would be thwarted by the pesky animals the man had brought along. Situated within the center of the human’s forces the Hachbi's chakra would react to the ink that stained the battlefield. Churning and bubbling the ink would transform into miniature clones of the beast itself. They were about the size of an average adult and were completely created of ink. If the humans and their pet animals thought the sealing jutsu was the only thing the Ink was capable of, they would be gravely mistaken. The Ink clones would go on the offensive. While not having the same durability and chakra of the original. The clones were able to expel the same seal ink from their mouths and would also revert back to the same Ink if defeated.

Suddenly a surge of chakra could be felt from two of the human’s, to Gyuki's surprise they had the exact chakra signature of the insolent human who had dared to be disrespect him. As soon as the beast caught the attention of the clones, it’s own ink clones would move inti action. Two clones one for each of the man’s shadow clones attacked, shooting a pressurized stream of black Ink at the pair. Meanwhile, the original eight tailed beast was preoccupied by the original Raikage. As the man spoke the Hachibi felt a sensation it had never experienced. Intimidation, fear… it oozed off the Raikage's body making him seem less human than the beast thought. Unknown to the Hachibi this feeling, the sensation was a Genjutsu caused by the man’s roar. At the moment the beast was taken over by the genjutsu the Raikage would finally take action and attack the Hachibi head on. Hitting the beast hard with a furry of punches that sent a painful shock through its entire body the Hachibi couldn’t move. Following the punches were a series of kicks that sent the creature into a tumble, its body breaking the ground and sending up a cloud of dust.

As the dust rose four large tentacles came hurtling from the obscured area aiming to crush the Raikage where he stood. The tails slammed down harder and harder taking out a few shinobi who had their hands full with Ink clones. Within the cloud of dust Gyku's body was hidden, that was until a faint light could be seem emanating from within the cloud. The Hachibi was creating the tailed beast bomb. Being part octopi, Gyuki had the unique ability of it’s tails moving independently, leaving its body free. This allowed the beast to keep the Raikage busy while it launched its attack. Suddenly, as the cloud of dust dissipated the eight tailed beast could be seem with a large ball of condensed chakra. Firing the Bijuudama with impressive force, the ball was aimed towards the original Miki, however if the man dodged it would be on a direct course towards his shadow clones, if they hadn’t already been taken out by Ink clones. Gyuki used this jutsu to return the man’s favor, who had caused one of it’s eight tails to explode. A direct result of the man’s strength combined with the Lightning release armour.

Tailed Beast Ball:
Basically the normal no super charged version. For reference of damage lets say the average one the Kyubi used during it’s attack on Konoha could take out a mountain. I think it did.
