His opponent would be false to assume he was attempting to circumvent the summoning of the Bocchiere Puppet. He was merely setting in place an arena that was hard to escape from within its confines. His opponent had made a grave mistake in not protecting himself in the event of the explosions, even with his intentions. Because it was as the man said, a thought was all that was needed, not to mention, the addition of another chakra signature had intrigued the Nara. Jay was indeed recycling, ‘twas but a test to see who they were up against... that was a lie, but the Immortal Sage had learned from his past mistake. The appearance of the lightning and the Nara’s increase in response time, along with the rest of the man’s base skills after his long training sabbatical, allowed him to have such a thought. Such masterful situational awareness was paramount in the Nara establishing his desired thought. In fact, the fact that he had such a strong bond with Matatabi, only allowed the man to have an entire conversation of thoughts.
“But for real, Kingdom Hearts 3 needs to hurry up. A whole mess load of games need to hurry up and come out. I’m not getting any younger, you know.” The Nara said after he had pulled himself into his Mindscape to have a conversation with his feline companion. The field of white roses beneath his rear would show that he was sitting down, the flowers changing color to indicate who was on them in a small meter of influence. The sea of flowers would transition into pink for as far as the eye could see, but beneath Matatabi, the color would be a deep and dark blue. She would rest on her haunches, her twin tails gently swaying behind her as she peered down into her container’s eyes.
”You’re still on those games. You really need to be patient. Quit rushing, you don’t really have the finances to be splurging like that anyway.” She told him, only for the man to grumble in response. ”Fine, I promise I won’t mention them again until after this is finished. Speaking of which, do you remember when I was housing the Kyuubi?” He would ask her, only for her heterochromatic hues to glow brightly in anger for a split second. As she calmed down, her tails brushed against the top of the flowers, momentarily setting them ablaze, only for the flames to be snuffed out a second later as if it never happened. ”I remember.” She merely told him, while the man rubbed the back of his head in a sheepish manner, almost regretting bringing it back up. He cleared his throat as he waved his hand in the air, showing his memories of the fight to her in the night sky. ”Unfortunately I wouldn’t walk away from that battle with the victory. Due to some misunderstandings, the battle wouldn’t reach a proper conclusion.” He told the feline, obviously blaming it on a certain cloak the man possessed, watching as the Bijū brought her gaze back to his as the memories died. Despite them already having this conversation, it seemed necessary because of their situation. ”So you believe the outcome would be the same?” She would ask him lowering her frame to fold her paws beneath her fiery body, much like a comfortable housecat.
The man would sputter out a laugh, his blood red eyes showing amusement from her words. ”What!? Hell no, He already made his mistake. Simply from the last encounter, I could see what he wanted to do. And as you saw, my hands were tied in a significant manner… The man would lift his hand to stop the Tailed Beast from cutting him off, knowing she had intended to from her resulting grumbling. but, enough of the past. Let’s see if he decided to at least protect himself from the resulting explosions.” The Nara would mutter pulling himself from his Mindscape to return to the battle and go through the process of interpreting Rusaku’s post, wondering if the cloak would make a reappearance to protect him from the explosions.
After the Mental Conversation the Nara was able to survey the real world events as they happened. To recap, due to Rusaku’s desire to only target the two original kunai, it wasn’t hard for the Nara to determine the man’s objective. Rusaku should have definitely aimed for a large cluster if he was going to do something like that again. This allowed the size of the bolts to be determined and they had to have been quite small to only attempt the striking of two kunai in a growing, but figurative, sea of manifesting tools. The fact that they weren’t going to, made the Nara’s thought to be all the more easier. Because of said thought , the two kunai would be returned to his hands, as he was leaping away from the inevitable series of explosions, re-pocketing them as he made it to his destination. Sure, the number was not exactly 2,000, but 1,998 wasn’t bad either.
Again, because the man had not attempted to defend himself, the third of a second it would take for the horizontal wall of 1,998 explosive kunai to reach his position would be the last thing he would see, before the resulting explosions rocked his world. The man definitely had the chance to do so, OOCly considering he only used two actions for his turns. Because, even if an early series of explosions were to occur, the shockwave and concussive force from them would still have reached him regardless of their location of exploding.
300 meters was the size of the barrier. The Colosseum’s Battle Arena was 100 meters in every direction, 200 meters from end to end, and the pre-described explosions would have still reached the barrier and hit it with significant force, since it would need to be to cause it to tremor. All in all meaning, that even the act of a premature explosion, would result in the tremendous concussive force still reaching one’s person. (This could be a result of the kunai flying through the exit, but one explosion would set off a chain reaction to the rest in an immediate fashion, so they wouldn’t even get far.) And while this concussive force wasn’t on the scale of Dust Release, it was still an explosion that Rusaku, again, did nothing to protect himself against.
At least, as the Nara now saw, not substantially defensive enough as the technique was geared towards offensive side of the spectrum. He would be unaware of this, but the rather weak composition of the earthen technique would let it be known for him.The Snake- Canine Hybrid Chakra Avatars were ineffective against Sasuke’s Lightning Release Enhanced Sword, sure because of the nature weakness, but it only showed that it wasn’t as durable as Wood Release, which the author was expecting in a defense. Against 1,998 simultaneous explosions, at such quick delivery, would not be enough protection, not even enough time for them to even manifest fully. And since the man hadn’t stated any extraordinary amplification to his chakra molding ability, the Nara could turn the interpretation of events towards his line of thinking.
There was one oversight the Nara had just realized and it was the damage to the ground, but, let’s have it remain unscathed because it wasn’t mentioned beforehand. Because of this oversight, the resulting flames from the explosion would not have a downward position to travel and would only travel forwards, backwards and upwards. Because of his previous thought, the man would not have any grief from the explosions, because of his act of movement to escape it. Thus, it was also safe to say, that the Bocc Puppet wouldn’t have the time to do the originally intended Kirigakure no Jutsu, nor would it not have the time to do the Kirisame, again bringing up the point of their being in immediate danger to the ever present explosions. And even if the Kirigakure no Jutsu had been activated, it would not have a long shelf life as it would immediately be blown away by the force of the explosions, regardless of their position in the Colosseum… afterwards, sure, but there was no estimated afterwards from near point blank explosions with less than significant defenses, with no notable skill in durability outside of when it’s enhanced by the Tenseigan Chakra Cloak and the Toad Sage Mode.
Of course, Rusaku was capable of tanking the explosions, but he made no attempt to do so at all, not before, during, nor after the explosion's lifespan, despite still having that one extra action available. Standing atop the opposite Colosseum Wall, the Nara would use the ever constant source of Natural Energy around him to Ignite his Apex Aura to allow the Senjutsu to fuel his next technique. His Apex Sage Mode, would be similar to his Previous Chaos Sage Mode, with the exception of the cloak of energy surrounding him would not blot out his body. It’d only act as an aura of active energy, an ethereal flame of Senjutsu Chakra. His eyes would change, the golden color of old making a bold return to his irises, said irises dancing like flames around his ever present elongated pupil. His eyelids and some of his eyebrows would gain a golden color as well, a staple of his new Mastered Sage Form.
He would point his finger towards Rusaku’s location, whether he had been defeated or not, his Senjutsu Chakra gathering towards the tip of his finger quite rapidly. The constant condensing of the Senjutsu Chakra would result in it remaining incredibly small throughout its creation, this being around the size of a large marble, or 1 inch in diameter. With the Senjutsu Chakra pushing for the speed of its creation, the overall speed of its charge would take 3 seconds, in comparison to its timed 9 seconds in the .gif of the page. But, the Nara wouldn’t fire the technique, letting the energy throb at his fingertip, its size comparable to that of a needle’s tip after its final condensing process… just in case a change needed to be made. He was ready, keeping his sharp senses on Rusaku’s hopefully fading (deceased) chakra signature. If Rusaku managed to survive, he would be suffering severe injuries and very near close to death from those injuries.
