I mean Reaver still did better despite the bird factor. Even prior to the self destruct button being pushed which is more what I was pointing back to then.
Reaver just blew himself up. He didn't even win the fight. He literally just went suicide bombing to force a draw.

All his moves were setting up the nuke, there was nothing prior to it. If you want to break down the set up for the nuke into individual attacks then, a poison cloud which didn't poison, a smoke screen that failed to actually smokescreen, and then injecting fuel in the ground.

Bet baiyan learns to respect his temper now XD
 
What attack did Baiyan have against Azumi? You mentioned Baiyan going on "attack" just before Reaver stepped into the fight.
She pulled a close-range surprise attack by shooting her shoot out of it's sheath, and Azumi dealt with it pretty casually. Baiyan then took the opportunity to open some distance and chase down her sword.

After that water needles

Earth wall

Shadow possession

Cutting the earth wall down

Suicide bomb.

I mean, if I had Azumi suffer significant damage from the very first move which was just a high speed sword launch then the fight would have been a true joke XD. Not like she can no sell a sword strike like Reaver.

I was going to make a joke about Baiyan' s attraction to Reaver but I'm glad I stopped myself. Also isn't Reaver like 13 or so, he's still a minor, which wouldn't make him a man-child, it's make him a child...-child.... sounded better in my head.
Reaver: I was going to make a joke about your amputated arms, except that would be rather harmful
 
When she landed, she immediately pressed her palm to the ground, "Earth Release: Practice Brick Technique."

A single tablet of rock flipped itself upwards, creating a wall that both obstructed Baiyan from view, as well as served as a shield. She listened keenly as the senbon and needles hit the wall, creating rapid, consecutive thunks.

[/QUOTE]

Azumi came to a dead stop when Baiyan formed a wall; her regular senbon stuck to it as their path came to a dead stop while the water needles struck and broke apart on contact. Which resulted in the mud wall and the base floor being soaked. With the umbrella in the air, a shadow had been cast between Azumi and this wall that Baiyan generated Azumi quickly acted on it as the unexpected wall provided ample opportunity, ignoring Reaver's little jab...

"Ninja Art: Shadow Possession Tendrils Jutsu"

With the faintest of whispers, Azumi's shadow extended before her and traveled forward. Said shadow gained a boost in distance thanks to the umbrella's shadow which allowed it to travel to the base of the wall Baiyan had formed and soon began to quickly travel up it.

Baiyan

Baiyan didn't remain still for long, as her brow quirked in surprise and she muttered a sound of astonishment. When Azumi's shadow tendrils crested the earthen wall, what awaited them was the distinct ringing of the Abyss Orchid, the obsidian blade flashing from its scabbard and severing the upper section of the wall. The sliced earthen slab slid from its position and fell to the ground, disrupting the shadow tendrils as the sought to slither across it. Even then, with caution, Baiyan retreated, followed by the clarion clink of her sword as it was sheathed.

Her brows knitted in a mix of confusion and curiosity, she voiced, "I've never experienced a jutsu like that before... It's almost as odd as your pet. Quite the queer thing it is -that pet of yours- and rather talkative too. Its name was Reaver, no? I didn't know that those of its kind could grow intelligent enough to replicate human speech. Is it perhaps an oddity among its species?"


Alright, I went and found the whole part, and the most damage Azumi took was her water bottle getting cut, which you let happen on purpose to follow up with the serpent strike jutsu.

I can't fathom where in that exchange you thought you were losing.

I mean, maybe because Baiyan was not trying at any capacity and just playing defense. She literally internally comments about now going on "the attack" when Reaver stepped in after she and the bird saw past Azumi's combo move.

Complete BS, she was on the defensive because she was setting up her auditory genjutsu. Not like she was dealing with Azumi's attack because they were super easy to handle or anything.
 
Azumi gave a nod as she also assumed a battle stance. Which in her case involved removing her umbrella from her back as she assumed a sword-stance with it; extending it in front of her as she eyed Baiyan with a determined glare.

"I thank you for this, I will show you that conviction is the one quality I possess in spades." Azumi said before she made her first move. As she quickly shot and lunged forward as she appeared to aim for a forward stab at Baiyan. However, it was but a faint as she pulled back from the strike just as quickly.

At the same time, she twisted the handle to open a compartment at the top of it. Said comparment fired a pair of senbon aimed for Baiyan's chest as Azumi had her umbrella pointed in Baiyan's direction. Azumi naturally had no desire to kill Baiyan...but she was not about to treat her as a fragile package either.

Baiyan

While she wasn't able to see Azumi's attack, the girl had no problem's reacting to it. But rather than the senbon themselves, what she'd reacted to was the faint sound produced by the internal mechanisms of Azumi's umbrella. As the swordswoman reoriented herself, twisting her body slightly so that the hilt of her sword was aimed at Azumi, she flooded her left hand -the one currently holding her sheath- with chakra.

"Nadeshiko Style: Iai - Air shot."

Rather abruptly, her sword rocketed out of its sheath, coated with wind chakra as it sliced through the Sky with wild abandon. Iai - Air shot, was a sly technique generally used to take the opponent by surprise. By funneling wind chakra into the sheath of one's sword, they could use the pressure build-up within the sheath to eject the blade like a bullet.

As the sword flew hilt-first, the air currents disturbed by it deflected the senbon, and the weapon continued on a collision course with Azumi's umbrella.

Azumi had expected a reaction fro Baiyan, though not the detail of the sudden projectile attack, and as such had been well prepared for a response.

Azumi had pulled back her umbrella the moment the senbon had fired, and folded it open as she raised it above her head and just managed to jump above the sword and avoid the sudden sword bullet.

Slice!

For the most part, as it appeared the blade caught a water canteen Azumi had on her belt and sliced it in two, which caused water to spill around the impact area. None the less, Azumi floated over Baiyan and landed behind her as she gazed her with her usual composed expression as she quickly flashed hand signs.

"Water Style: Serpent Strike Jutsu!"

From the newfound puddle on the other side of Baiyan, a snake head rose and quickly shot itself forward at Baiyan. Its fangs aimed to try and bite the wrists that Baiyan had once held her sword with as the canteen destruction seemed not so much an accident but one of design. At the same moment, Azumi folded up her umbrella and kept her gaze on Baiyan from behind.

Baiyan

"Nadeshiko Style: Tsubame Gaeshi!"

As if she hadn't realized that Azumi had maneuvered behind her, the White-Eyed Lotus advanced, gracefully striking out with the left arm and the scabbard clenched within her fingers. With a deft movement, she sliced keenly through the serpent of water that advanced towards her. Without pause, she continued forward, the light squish-squash of her steps into the damp soil and grass as she glid over the newly formed puddle of water. Her speed was impressive and in a few moments she'd caught up to her sword as it flew overhead. The birds chirped to a tune of nature and Baiyan jumped, accurately snatching her blade out of mid-air and sinking it into her scabbard with a very audible click. She landed lightly, floating down on the wind as beautifully a drifting flower petal.

"The First...two more left."

Speaking casually, but cryptically, she turned around to face her opponent, the distance between them had widened considerably.

Azumi glanced ahead as she took note of Baiyan's speed, precision and grace as she destroyed her serpent before she sped through her puddle and caught her own sword before she faced Azumi and gave her cryptic warning.

Azumi merely raised an eyebrow, before she focused on the task at hand. As she charged ahead quickly while she made several hand signs.

"Water Style: Condensation Needle Jutsu!"

The damp soil that Baiyan made as she ran through the puddle soon releases the freshly splashed water from the spoil into the air as they took the form water needles that were shot forward at Baiyan; which seemed to target her legs.

Azumi had not been done though, as she also tossed her umbrella into the air and had dozens of sharpened senbon descend towards Baiyan which seemed to aim for her chest and shoulders. Azumi's plan appeared to be to strike Baiyan from nearly all possible areas with small, but quick projectiles even as she worked to close the distance between them.

Baiyan

The frantic twitters of the surrounding songbirds provided a fitting accompanying melody the displayed battle. From the rapid squishes Azumi's footfalls made as moved and the increasing frequency with which they resounded, Baiyan could tell the girl was approaching her, and rather quickly at that. She could also tell sense the chakra fluctuations created by the myriad of liquid needles that were the vanguard to the girl's charge. Leaping backward, the cloth of her garments floating in the wind, she began weaving hand signs. When she landed, she immediately pressed her palm to the ground, "Earth Release: Practice Brick Technique."

A single tablet of rock flipped itself upwards, creating a wall that both obstructed Baiyan from view, as well as served as a shield. She listened keenly as the senbon and needles hit the wall, creating rapid, consecutive thunks.

With the faintest of whispers, Azumi's shadow extended before her and traveled forward. Said shadow gained a boost in distance thanks to the umbrella's shadow which allowed it to travel to the base of the wall Baiyan had formed and soon began to quickly travel up it. Along the way, the shadow would soak up the splashed water along the wall's base and the wall itself which caused it to take shape into the liquid shadow tendrils of Azumi's design as it used the additional shadows of the senbon attached to the wall as it allowed the tendrails to gain speed, distance and even begin to branch slightly apart.

The second they peered over the wall, they charged down and towards Baiyan quickly. Azumi aimed to take advantage of Baiyan's obstruction of her view of her and tried to strike her knowing she was behind the wall for the moment as the tendrails aimed to lock onto Baiyan's shadow and would try to wrap and immobilize the swordswoman.

Baiyan

Hands hovering over the hilt of her blade, Baiyan had been prepared for Azumi to vault over the wall and leave herself open to an attack. She was, however, sorely disappointed with the pitter patter of steps faltered, suggesting the girl had cut her charge short. She remained still for a moment, allowing the wind to caress her face and sweep across her hair, traveling along it nature's backdrop, an undertone of creatures -primarily avians- humming with content.

Baiyan didn't remain still for long, as her brow quirked in surprise and she muttered a sound of astonishment. When Azumi's shadow tendrils crested the earthen wall, what awaited them was the distinct ringing of the Abyss Orchid, the obsidian blade flashing from its scabbard and severing the upper section of the wall. The sliced earthen slab slid from its position and fell to the ground, disrupting the shadow tendrils as the sought to slither across it.

Is it perhaps an oddity among its species?"

She heaved a sigh, a hint of admiration in her voice, "You were rather lucky to contract a beast such as that one, but perhaps you should work on expanding its vocabulary, its mouth is rather crass -don't you agree?"

Alright, this is the true compilation of the whole fight.

After than Reaver got triggered and went nuclear.
 
Kinda the opposite impression I got, no offense. It felt really easy.
I wouldn't say that, you'd barely even gotten into your stride, and you were able to make seamless plays off every single move I made, from using the jet-blade to create a puddle for your jutsu, using the increased distance to set up a storm of senbon, and using my earth wall as a way to extend the range of your shadow possession.


They were at a perfect stalemate. Matched blow for blow, and you played off my moves even better than I played off yours.

Hasn't broken sweat on an opponent going easy on her. And all her attempts failed to even make Baiyan focus solely on her or take it seriously as Reaver took up some focus for her even when he wasn't part of the battle.
Eh, that's where you're wrong.

As far as Baiyan was concerned Azumi and Reaver were a 'team' opponent, because Reaver wasn't human, and hence must've been Azumi's summon.

She kept her attention partially on Reaver because she figured he would've been a part of the battle. To say she wasn't taking the battle seriously is also an assumption. I didn't write her as being straight-laced or specifically paying rapt attention to the battle, but that's doesn't equate to her not taking the battle seriously.

She was incredibly cautious for the entire first half of the fight, and I played defensively. In fact, if you want to analyze all the battles I've ever RPed, then you'll realize that I rarely if ever, start out a fight in the defensive. There are only 3 battles I've ever been in where I started out defensively, Kai, Katsuo, and Azumi.

The first two being rivals to Sagisō and characters I always fight seriously because they're very skilled, and the Azumi because I was playing defensively to feel out your strategy. The Azumi fight was definitely one of the most serious fights I've ever taken, I created an entire slew of skills just in preparation for that fight.

For reference, I haven't taken any other fight as seriously as to start out on the defensive. Kabuto, Shura (both times), Taiyo, Zaku, Kidomaru, I went on the offensive for all of them.

Defensive battling isn't my way of treating a character as an easy fight. I only fight defensively when I expect a certain level of skill from my opponent and I refuse to rush in an just let things fall where they may. I've got a very high level of respect for you and your fighting style, more than you seem to have in yourself, and I can say with certainty that I don't mess around with battles against you.
