[War Event] The River

"Tonou, get…" Mianyi was about to tell him to get away, back to the tree line or elsewhere away from the fighting where he could nurse his wounds, maybe even get back up for them. But then there's a glass dome erected around them and no escape. The confinement meant they were at a disadvantage, especially as certain techniques could not be used for risk of running out of oxygen, or if Mianyi were to use her poison mist it would affect her comrades as well, and that would not do.

Mianyi is reluctant to leave Tonou's side at the moment, until she sees some signs he's at least capable of mounting some sort of defense. Over the radio she whispers, so the jounin can't hear them, to Kotetsu. "Can you distract him so I can get close?" If his attention can be on someone else for a moment, Mianyi would be able to dash forward to use a Flying Swallow on her kunai and strike at the jounin, aiming for an artery along his back or a tendon high on his leg.

"No."

Tonou responds to Mianyi and Kotetsu through the radio in his ear. It has somehow miraculously survived the blast. Tonou stands up on his own two feet, bloody and sore. He has a plan, and if they are to outlive this threat, they have to pull it off perfectly.

"Mianyi. I know your poison isn't lethal, but this time... it has to be. Kotetsu, you an I are going to keep this guy busy. Mianyi is going to focus on prepping her Poison Mist. When I go, I need to you to attack this guy from the other side. Anything will do, just keep him on us."

Tonou preps his fist. He flexs it and tries to muster the chakra to pull off an Oukashou. He then turns to Mianyi. "Focus your chakra. Chakra Control is your specialty, so focus it and make sure the poison is lethal." Tonou looks at Kotetsu as if to say 'now'. Tonou darts forward, raising his fist for Oukashou and attempts to land it on Chouka's left side.

After his clone was destroyed it poofed into a flock of crows which was trapped along with Kotetsu and his team. Enclosed inside the barrier, the light was dim which made it a little harder to see yet wasn't going to stop his sharingan to Pierce through it and see the enemy.

Upon hearing Mianyi's plan he performed hand signs and the flock of crows swarmed back together to make the clone which pick up the katana once again. crow clone technique Kotetsu was about to charge forward until he heard the voice of Tonou over his radio.

After hearing his plan, Kotetsu nodded in agreement, mainly because he was able and willing to put his life in his comrades hands as they would him. His fist tightly gripped around the hilt of his wakizashi prepared for the signal.

Once Tonouu darted off to the left, Kotetsu's clone charged the middle swinging the katana repetitively at different angles, launching off multiple arcs of lightning. Kotetsu himself bolted towards the right and once reaching Chouka's side, he swung his half paralyzed left arm arm as if to gesture him throwing a flimsy punch. The sleeve of his left arm shrouded his body in the false punch, and Kotetsu then lunged his Divine Piercer through his sleeve in an attempt to catch the jonin off guard. Also once through the sleeve he channels chakara Into the blade and extends it by a full foot.

Chouka waits impatiently for the Genin to do something. He looks left and then to his right. As soon as Tonou and Kotetsu charge in his takes a defensive stance. As both attacks from the Genin land they notice that Chouka has created a glass armor around him. The Glass armor soaks up the two Genin's attack, however it has cracked, much to Chouka's surprise. He spins around and as he does tiny glass shards releases from the armor in both directions of Kotetsu and Tonou. The Glass shards are strong enough to pierce skin.

Mianyi stops when Tonou says no and remains in a defensive position lest Chouka try to get in an attack while they are preparing. Hearing out Tonou's plan, she nods and then takes a step back while Tonou and Kotetsu prepare their side of the arrangement.

While they are busy Mianyi will begin to focus and knead her chakra, using her need to protect her teammates, especially Tonou, to power her inner will and strengthen her resolve to perform the necessary channeling and manipulation of chakra to strengthen her poison mist attack. She continues at it until the necessary cue is given from Tonou, using the time to continue refining the technique. When the cue is given, she will release the burst of poison mist.

Tonou is pelleted by glass shards, inflicting further damage. With glass shards sticking out of different parts of his body he realizes it's now or never. "Kotetsu, break this dome! Mianyi, NOW!" Tonou activates Gone with the Wind. With his speed increase he aims one final Oukashou at Chouka in an attempt to break his glass armor. At least that was the feint. Instead Tonou strikes the ground, shattering it long enough to get Chouka off balance.

At that cue, Mianyi releases all of the chakra she's built up within her and carefully molded into a toxic poison.

ooc just slipping that in there, in case it wasn't clear enough in the first post she'd release it on cue

Kotetsu and the clone was both hit with the glass shrapnel. Which in turn caused the clone to disperse into a flock of crows again and left bleeding kotetsu with shards of glass across his left arm and torso, mainly his shoulders. The wound from the shrapnel left his left arm useless for now until they could return and get patched up and he felt the effects of fatigue and starting to feel the effects of blood loss, so he knew they needed to finish this quick.

Hearing Tonou's new order, Kotetsu channeled his lightning chakara into his wakizashi and used it to lengthen the blade slightly and increase its cutting potential. Once doing so he tossed the short sword into the air. Then while he spins counter clockwise in one full rotation he picks up his katana and kicks the short sword in one motion to launch it at the dome wall. To where Kotetsu then followed after it swinging his katana in different patterns to launch lightning arcs at the wakizashi in order to propel it faster and put more power behind it in an attempt to break a hole in the dome wall.

Two things happen simultaneously. First, the glass wall cracks and then finally breaks, showering everyone in glass. The falling glass is slow enough to where it will only cause minor cuts and fissures. Secondly, Chouka loses his balance, and by doing so gasps. This gasp causes him to inhale even more of the Poison Mist than was originally planned. He begins to choke and cough. The poison mist begins to attack his central nervous system, and he is still able to fight. That is until Tonou, while holding his breath, kicks him Chouka in his left side, shattering his hip. Chouka falls. He had underestimated the trio, and that would be his death.

In such situations it seems entirely fair to kick someone when they're down. Or stab them. When Mianyi sees the man fall, she rushes forward with a kunai in hand, going for his throat with a carefully calculated slash to sever arteries and veins.

Tonou begins to step back from the dying Jounin. He is bleeding out fast. His entire torso is covered in burns. At some places glass shards are still sticking out of his body. He begins to say something, but doesn't have the strength to. Suddenly he falls and quietly slips out of consciousness.

After sensing no more life in the jonin, Kotetsu stumbled over to his Wakizashi and sheathed it. Then turning to his team mates, his attitude and personality seemed to change back to his mischievous self as he shown his trademark sly grin.

"Looks like we secured here without a problem" Kotetsu said with a slight chuckle, but as he did he felt the stress and exhaustion from fatigue and blood loss. He then fell to one knee, while using his katana jabbed in the ground to help balance him and his left arm lay limp next to him, yet he continued to show his mischievous grin

"Maybe not quite yet." Mianyi says in reply to Kotetsu. While it's more than apparent that the jounin is dead, Mianyi moves towards the bodies of the chuunin and the genin in the squad they initially encountered. "Search the jounin," she says to Tonou and Kotetsu. Meanwhile, she goes to make sure that Sera and the others really are dead. And if they are, she will search them for any clues or information to bring back to their allies in Konoha.

You find that Sera is missing. The other Genin are dead but have nothing of interest.

Tonou
Tonou is still lying on the ground, motionless and still.

Chio
Chio is a Kumogakure Jounin. She arrives at the river to make sure the Genin were able to hold off the other Genin team. When she sees that Chouka has been at the scene she is horrified. "Our scouts said there would only be Genin here!" She turns to Tonou and scoops him off the ground. "Girl, help your comrade from Konoha, we need to get you guys back to the village ASAP and see that your wounds are attended to.

Kotetsu stumbled to his feet while still using the sword for balance. He noticed the jonin from Kumo and nodded his head to her in appreciation. "Thank you for your concern." With a brief pause kotetsu continued to speak, "but I should be able to make it back to the village with no assistance." His legs were shaking slightly as he struggled to bear his own weight

Mianyi nods at these orders from the Kumo jounin. "Yes, I'll take care of things here and make our way back to Konoha. Please make sure my friend is alright."

She then looks over at Kotetsu. "Let's return to your village."

There's reluctance to leave lose ends like Sera lying around, but Tonou needs help and neither she nor Kotetsu seem to be in the shape to continue a fight if need be. She will assist Kotetsu if the other needs it, her own wounds being less severe and her main drawback being that she used nearly all her chakra in the poison attack.
