#17 Indecision II
Forced Out
Hamano’s eyes moistened from pain as she removed the knife plunged deep into her left arm. Kunai hovered between her and Chikametsu from the equal forces of his puppetry and her excommunication cards that had been engraved onto each of the knives. “I don’t know what to do.” Hamano thought back to the scattered bodies of the guards Chikametsu’s puppets had dispatched and dismembered minutes earlier before violently shaking her head as if she could rid herself of the images so easily. ‘She’s too unstable, if I am to complete this mission I have to kill her.’ Chikametsu shuffled a half-step to the side in order to attempt to better position himself for attack. “DON’T MOVE!”
Hamano flung the kunai at the puppeteer forcing him to dodge, breaking his puppetry strings. The now freed kunai launched at him forcing him to flip aside before being shredded. The playing cards scattered over the room gathered back to Hamano’s hand in their neatly formed deck just as Chikametsu dodged his own knives. Hamano drew a single card from the deck throwing it at her comrade. It missed, imbedding itself in the wall. Chikametsu glanced back at it to see the five of diamonds. The center diamond began to burn spreading slowly. “Hamidasu.” (Force Out) The card suddenly exploded, leaving a gaping hole in the wall. He pulled his last desperate resort, a small sword that rested along the back of his waist before charging in as fast as his legs could carry him. Hamano threw another card at him only for it to be blocked by and meld with his sword. He glanced down at the blade to see the jack of diamonds engraved into his sword, and with the same motion of his move to block he threw the sword at Hamano so it exploded in midair.
Chikametsu’s leapt through the smoke, kunai in hand, stabbing at Hamano. The kunai scraped against the deck of cards that had formed into the shape of a sword by touching each card end to end. The sword was held by only one of her hands and with the other she placed the three of clubs on the center of Chikametsu’s forehead, quickly and painlessly melting the edges into his skin so that only the three clubs remain in a diagonal line across his brow. “Excommunicate.” Chikametsu felt a sudden impact from nowhere and was instantly being dragged through the air away from the samurai by his forehead.
He opened his eyes against the wind resistance to see the rock cliff fast approaching. “Shit!” His hands reconnected the strings to one of his puppets. Three wooden balls flew out of its mouth exploding where its master was heading, causing a huge hole in the craggy surface. Its arm extended across the opening catching Chikametsu and taking the front of his impact like a trampoline. “I can’t believe I let her beat me that easily. Even though my fighting skills aren’t essentially that good it’s still embarrassing.” He glanced around the area at all his puppets. The three he had left behind were still using their technique keeping the reinforcements at bay. “I don’t have much time. I sacrificed a lot of my charka to keep that technique activated, but I can’t have more than ten minutes to penetrate this barrier defeat her and rescue that asshole. I can’t even believe he got himself captured in the first place.”
#18 Indecision III
Isolation
The remaining seven puppets Chikametsu had stood around him on top of the cliff over the prison where Madara was held. “I see. So it’s these marks that are repelled by the barrier.” He examined each puppet, taking note of where each card mark was. “Well let’s try this.” He moved his fingers skillfully and each puppet’s body responded. All the ‘infected’ parts were removed and neatly placed in a pile. His puppets stood with missing arms, legs and heads. Each puppet broke down into its essential pieces and they recombined together to create five fully formed puppets. “This is definitely something I’ve never tried before.”
Hamano sat on the floor in the middle of the room silently recounting the events that had preceded. One of Chikametsu’s puppets suddenly burst through the window surprising her utterly. “Excommunicate!” Her ten of clubs was blocked by the huge sword the puppet then tossed aside as it was forced away by the effect. The puppet’s overly large fist crashed into the wall directly behind her as she dodged destroying it and passing through stumbling over the uneven ground on the other side. “Hamidasu.” (Force Out) The six of diamonds planted itself on the puppets back torso covering it in a controlled explosion. The torso collapsed, covered in black soot, but the arms and legs hovered in mid air with knives extending from their joints before flying towards Hamano. The dodge was difficult from the surprise, but they lodged themselves in the wooden wall not to be removed without sufficient force.
She had no time to rest as the roof above her exploded and a puppet fell down at her. “Hamidasu!” (Force Out) Another explosion scattered the attacking puppet into pieces. Two puppets dropped out of the black smoke on both sides of her. One charged in with the matching head-cleaving sword the other puppet was wielding. “He mixed his puppets!” Hamano realized how the puppets managed to infiltrate her barrier just before she blocked the sword with hers made of playing cards. She planted a card directly on the puppets chest. “Excommunicate.” The puppet flew back from the reinforcement of the barrier. The other one had its arms stretching around her in a wide circular cage. Chikametsu watched from above as Hamano fought off the onslaught. One of the arms that formed the cage was hit by one of her cards and flew out soon followed by the other one and then the five coils from its head surrounded her. “Now’s my chance.” The puppet beside him ejected a fist size orb he threw at Hamano. The puppet she was fighting exploded from her card just before she saw the new attacker. Though it was small she confronted it with full force, attacking it with one of her diamond cards. With his puppetry the orb was able to avoid the explosion but Chikametsu was forced to protect himself from the explosion with his last puppet. “This is my last chance!” The orb suddenly enlarged to a giant head with a mouth lined with razor sharp teeth spread wide.
Hamano held up the four of hearts with a pained look of unhappy decision. “Koritsu.” (Isolation) She suddenly disappeared and the giant head impacted with the floor. Hamano screamed in pain, suddenly reappearing, clutching her cut knee on the ground. One tooth of the attack barely touched her, making her visible again. “Heh, this technique cancels any circulation of energy. If I catch you completely then you’ll be unable to do anything.” The head pulled itself out from the floor, ripping up some floorboards with its fangs. “That’s IF you survive impalement!” The head rushed at her for a second attack. “No stop! I don’t want to do this anymore!” “It’s too late for that kid!”
Chikametsu vs. my O.C. Hamano continues and Hamano demonstrates another ability with her cards and Chikametsu begins to run out of options and parts of his puppets to use. never underestimate the power of an angry woman. that's something Chikametsu has learned the hard way. i just wonder why no guards are attacking from the inside?....

Enough of that cliche leaving you wondering i want to talk about chikametsu.

*SPOILERS*

for those who don't know chikametsu was the creator of the kugutsu (puppetry) jutsu in the ancient times of naruto. his ultimate puppets were that of the white secret technique chikametsu's collection of 10 displayed by chiyo during the fight against sasori. these ten being weilded by an old, out of shape lady were able to come close to beating one hundred controlled by a young man in his prime an atestment not only to chiyo's skill but the quality of the puppets of which he uses in my fan fiction.

Another great chapter. But you made one mistake and put madara's name instead of chikametsu's in the seond paragraph of #18. Just thought youd want to know. But when do we get to see old doods bankai from the ninja villiage
