Zodd's Actions
Zodd Talking
~Zodd Thinking~

All enjoyed a sunny day in Mock Town and most folk would eventually find themselves within the hustle and bustle of a local tavern. Boisterous laughing, the clanking of mugs filled with one's drink of choice, and sometimes shouting is what made of the ambient sounds in the tavern. At the front of the tavern, sitting in a boosted chair at the bar was a tiny individual with a mug about 1/10th the size of a normal mug. Despite his small size, his voice boomed throughout the tavern as he laughed and gorged himself on food and liquor. The red-dreaded dwarven male could be heard yelling toward the barmaid.

More Food and More Liquor!!! Zodd's not had his fill yet, he hasn't!!!

Zodd, as he so called himself, was swinging his feet in his chair, his tail swaying left and right to the melody of the music he could hear within. What he was doing in Mock Town was a mystery to all but him, but he was on a sort of a manhunt, taking a break in his search to find time to have some fun. A life without pleasure wasn't a life Zodd would enjoy living, and such he made sure to make time for himself to have a grand ol adventure between his work hours.

Zodd's been working too hard, he has. Can't wait to get home and have some fun with those Fishmen I grabbed from that Slave Trader.

Not the type to mince his words, or even care who could hear him, Zodd continued to enjoy himself. He'd remain at the bar filling himself with more food and more liquor. Zodd lived like the day was his last, and he didn't care who was there to witness it.

Isao's Thoughts
"Isao's Words"

The tavern was busy that night. There were many people celebrating something. Isao wasn't sure. It wasn't important thought because anytime could be party time. He had bought a round for a group of people and they were all going to have a contest to see who could drink their ale fastest. He was pretty good back home. As a banded scorpionfish man, sucking up his food was a talent. The fastest way to get a buzz is to get it down to his tummy as fast as possible. The group had just clanked their mugs together with his when he had already brought it back to his lips. Taking a deep breath, Isao sucked the alcohol up like a straw. It disappeared in a moment and made it's way down his digestive tract. "Rajajajaja!" Isao giggled as he began to accelerate his digestive system, getting hit like a truck from the ale. His body tingled and his face grew flush. He was really enjoying the rush. Someday with training, maybe he could completely digest it in an instant. and then again to make himself sober whenever he wanted. Who knew? That would only come in time.

Isao's smile disappeared in an instant. The fun he was having was completely gone. Forgotten. He couldn't believe that he had heard those words come out of someone's mouth. He turned around and saw a little man with red dreads seeming to have some kind of good ol' time talking so openly about fishmen. Isao wiped his mouth with his arm warmers, walking up to the little human. His glare was piercing towards his little opponent.

"You take back what you said about Fishmen or I'll put you in your place. That kind of talk isn't something I will stand for. Especially from someone as small as you."

"You take back what you said about Fishmen or I'll put you in your place. That kind of talk isn't something I will stand for. Especially from someone as small as you."

Zodd blissfully filled his belly, giggling whilst kicking his tiny feet in merriment. Soon, his sunny day would have a shadow cast over it, literally, it seemed, as a male clad in white garb stood tall, towering over Zodd. The man seemed like he had overheard Zodd's words, and from Zodd's point of view, it seemed like something had touched the man in a specific way. Zodd turned in his chair to look up at this man, still buzzed from his drinking. Turning with a smile, Zodd's eyes met the man behind him.

~Put Zodd in his place, he will? That's so kind of him. Zodd does wish to return home, he does.~ Zodd thought to himself.
Ye won't stand for my talk, will ye? Tell me big fella, do you want to play with Zodd too?

Zodd would pay his tap after he spoke. Sliding down off of his boosted bar stool. He'd wrap his little arms around the leg of the stool, sliding down like a fireman would slide down a pole. With a skip, Zodd's feet touched the wood of the tavern floor, and he skipped and pranced his way toward the tavern door. Despite his little stature, he seemed to cover the distance relatively quickly. He stumbled a bit, his liquor getting the better of him, but he made it to the door with ease, where he'd turn around and look toward the white-clad male should he not have followed.

Well, if ye want to play with Zodd, we'll have to play outside. Zodd can be a bit rough, and he'd like to avoid ruining these tavern-folk's day with his childish frolicking, he would.

To a stranger, Zodd likely seemed like a troublemaker and a psychopath. He giggled as he spoke, and seemed to have no problem egging on others. In reality, Zodd was serious about playing. He loved to play, and hoped this fellow would join him in a game or two. Zodd did love his games for certain.

Isao watched Zodd slide down his stool and make his way out of the tavern. His hands clenched tightly as he watched. The little man didn't seem to pay much attention as he left. But Isao could tell he at least had some pep in his step. Someone so willing to disgrace another living being didn't deserve a gentleman's duel. The Shinobi way was nothing of the sort. It was for striking quick and unseen. A normal drunk human would walk between Isao and his path to the door. Obscuring his vision of the dwarf, but most likely doing the same for the drunken one. Using this opportunity, Isao weaved hand-signs, disappearing from the spot he was in. Kawarimi no Jutsu

The dwarf would turn around to find that Isao was no longer in the spot he was before. The fishman had used the opportunity to jump onto the ceiling. He reached into his pouch, pulling one of his kuni out. As the dwarf would most likely begin to look around for his playmate, Isao would throw a kuni at the feet of Zodd. A normal person would look down at the kuni after it landed at their feet. That was always when they got a bad surprise. After throwing the kuni, Isao would jump down towards his foe, attempting to deliver a spinning kick to Zodd that could kick him outside into the streets. "Kachiage Haisoku!!!"

Isao would then agressively shoulder his way through the swinging door, staring the dwarf down.

"I'll show you frolicking alright."

Kawarimi no Jutsu:

Isao utilizes this misdirection technique by using his speed and an object to capture the opponents attention as he disappears and reappears somewhere else, allowing him to escape attack.
requires 21 ninjutsu and 21 movement speed; cannot be used consecutively and is countered by good reflexes/observation Haki

Kachiage Haisoku (literally meaning "Rising Thrust-Kick"):

An inner-sole kick to the chin of the opponent.
Requirements: 21 Mastery, 21 Strength

Waltzing blissfully, Zodd had no idea of the White-Clad man's trickery and seeming disappearance. By the time the Dwarf turned around, he'd noticed the man's absence, letting out a bellowed laugh. "Rodododo!!!." Zodd loved himself a game of Hide and Seek, and it seemed his play-date also enjoyed hiding. Zodd thought it'd be fun to see if the man enjoyed being sought out as much as he enjoyed hiding. Zodd began to search for his opponent, only to see a Kunai land before him. For most folk, they'd have to look down, but not for Zodd, a man who's body was equal in size to the kunai. It was then that the white-clad man would appear in front of Zodd aiming a kick toward the Dwarf.

Hide and Seek and a game of Tag? Ya sure like to play, ye do!

Zodd did not move away from the kick. The Dwarf merely put his hands out in front of him, using them to intercept the kick. The white-garbed male would feel Zodd on impact, and would feel pure strength in the form of a 9 inch monster before him. Zodd, despite his size, was a brute, who would use his strength and durability to tank the kick from his playmate. Jumping backward after impact, Zodd used the force of the kick to help launch him out of the Tavern, soon to be followed by his playmate. Landing on a dirt road, Zodd would shake his arms loose, preparing for his turn to play with his new friend.

Frolicking is fun, friend. This is Tag though, and Zodd believes that he is It now. Rodododo!!!

Zodd bent his little legs, building strength in them before vaulting up and toward his Tag partner. With a series of flips, Zodd cleared any distance between himself and Isao. Once near and slightly above Isao, Zodd performed one last rotation in his flip, whipping his tail down toward the man's head. The tail that was one slim and wavy like a cat, became hard and rigid, stiffened for impact. Zodd aimed to plant his tail atop Isao's head. "Shippo Hammer".

Shippo Hammer:

Jumping high into the air, the user positions him or herself above the target, and then uses the tail to strike it hard.

Isao's kick hit it's mark, his foot causing his kuni to fly up into the air and out of the tavern. That was expected. What wasn't expected was the fact that Zodd was much stronger than he looked. He had caught Isao's strike as though it was nothing. The dwarf jumped back into the street as Isao shouldered his way through the swinging door. This was going to complicate things.

"I'll show you frolicking alright."

Frolicking is fun, friend. This is Tag though, and Zodd believes that he is It now. Rodododo!!!

Zodd bent down a bit, then jumped towards Isao with blinding speed. The average person wouldn't have seen him move, but Isao could. He was fast. He flipped though the air until he was slightly above Isao, then slammed his tail down towards Isao's head. It was faster than Isao expected. He brought his arms up together in an "X", coating his arms in armament haki just in time to block the attack. He fought the attack back as best he could, but the power behind the attack was too much. Under the pressure of Zodd's strike, Isao tumbled forward, beneath the dwarf. He would then turn to face the dwarf as he took a second kuni out from his pouch, swinging the blade at the dwarf. "Ryū Uragiri!" At the last second, Isao released the kuni and waved his hand past Zodd. His opposite hand would grab the blade in order to strike the dwarf with the pommel.

"I don't know who you think you are. But you better start taking me seriously!"

Ryū Uragiri:

Isao starts to swing his Kuni at the enemy in one hand, dropping the blade into his opposite hand in order to strike with his other hand. His main hand continues the forward motion in order to fake out the opponent while he strikes at the opponent with the back of his blade to give a non-lethal attack. Rank: C

His tail striking against the arms of Isao, one word could describe Zodd's overall demeanor, Joy. Zodd was seemingly having fun, completely naive to the anger Isao was showing. However, he had no time to focus on emotion, it was still playtime, and Isao was quick to attempt to 'tag' Zodd back. Zodd, via peripheral vision, could see Isao behind him, aiming to strike Zodd while he was in the blind spot. Zodd knew exactly what to do to keep himself from getting tagged.

Shippo Hammer - Protection!!!

With finesse and power, the once rigid tail of the dwarf quickly loosened, swaying back and forth behind him with great force. This swaying seemed playful, but it was also purposeful. The swaying of the tail was performed quickly, and as such, Zodd protected his backside with his tail's swaying defense, one of which Isao would have to break through to continue his attack. Zodd giggled however, being told he needed to take Isao seriously.

Take ya seriously? Ye don't play much do ya, ya don't?

Shippo Hammer - Protection:

An acrobatic technique where the tail is swung around rapidly to increase air pressure around the user, creating a defensive barrier.

The kuni was flung from Isao's hand as he struck against the furry whirlwind. Zodd was quite strong. Isao really couldn't get through something like this. Not easily. He took a half step back and snarled at the fact that this man was talking down to him and his people. This dwarf was definitely going to get stung. "Sakura mankai!" Isao yelled. The bones that made up his poisonous spines began to grow. They tore through the arms and back of his suit, down along his spine. It looked as though he had long spikes running along the back of his forearms, along his shoulders, and then down the center of his spine.

Isao knew he needed to find an opening. He needed the element of surprise again. Pulling a smoke ball out of his pouch, Isao would throw it to the ground. The ball would burst into a cloud of smoke. In that moment of being obscured, Isao would jump up onto the roof of the building, attempting to hide his presence from the dwarf. While the dwarf searched for him, that would be when Isao would attempt to strike.

"I'll show him not to talk down to fishmen." Isao said, as he began to wipe the blades of two shuriken against his poisonous spines, covering them in the viscus material.

From his hiding spot on the roof, Isao would spread the shuriken in his hand slightly before swiftly chucking them at the small target below. Sōshuriken no Jutsu. The two projectiles spin towards the opponent, the mucus somehow barely holding on to the blades. The first obscured the vision of the later. Though this attack might have given away Isao's position, he remained there. That dwarf was fast and strong. He had to keep the distance between them.

Sakura mankai (Cherry Blossoms in Bloom): Isao manipulates the venomous spines on his body, causing them to grow in length. This allows him to effectively fight with them. (low poison)
Sōshuriken no Jutsu: With this technique a translucent string, both elastic and highly durable, is attached to a shuriken, making it possible to alter its path after having thrown it. Isao has the ability to freely guide the shuriken in any direction with just a single movement of a fingertip. The first attack, challenging the enemy, is avoided and after a time-lag of several seconds, it will come from behind. Depending on the performance, the possible tactics can be infinite. Rank: C

In that moment of being obscured, Isao would jump up onto the roof of the building, attempting to hide his presence from the dwarf. While the dwarf searched for him, that would be when Isao would attempt to strike.

"I'll show him not to talk down to fishmen." Isao said, as he began to wipe the blades of two shuriken against his poisonous spines, covering them in the viscus material.

From his hiding spot on the roof, Isao would spread the shuriken in his hand slightly before swiftly chucking them at the small target below. Sōshuriken no Jutsu. The two projectiles spin towards the opponent, the mucus somehow barely holding on to the blades. The first obscured the vision of the later. Though this attack might have given away Isao's position, he remained there. That dwarf was fast and strong. He had to keep the distance between them.

Sakura mankai (Cherry Blossoms in Bloom): Isao manipulates the venomous spines on his body, causing them to grow in length. This allows him to effectively fight with them. (low poison)
Sōshuriken no Jutsu: With this technique a translucent string, both elastic and highly durable, is attached to a shuriken, making it possible to alter its path after having thrown it. Isao has the ability to freely guide the shuriken in any direction with just a single movement of a fingertip. The first attack, challenging the enemy, is avoided and after a time-lag of several seconds, it will come from behind. Depending on the performance, the possible tactics can be infinite. Rank: C

Zodd began to chuckle as he had once again thwarted Isao's ability to Tag him. Zodd was carefree and fun-loving, but he was also competitive when it came to playing games. He loved to show how superior he was when it came to games like Tag and Hide & Seek. Much like before, he watched as Isao would throw a smoke bomb, obscuring vision so that he could create distance between himself and Zodd.

Ye sure do love Hide & Seek, ye do. Well, Zodd loves to play. So bring it on.

Zodd remained where he stood, he knew that if Isao attempted to sneak up on Zodd like he had tried before. Zodd has quickness and size in his corner, knowing this gave him confidence in the game. Zodd's tail began swaying again, less rigid, and more playfully. He didn't bother looking for Isao. From the smoke, Zodd would see a projectile thrown toward him, not just one, but two. He opted not to move, thinking that the projectiles wouldn't do much to harm him. Although he was having fun, his naivety stopped him from realizing that Isao was out to harm Zodd, and these projectiles would be successful in doing so. It wasn't the attack that harmed Zodd more than normal, it was the after effects. Poison. The smile that was on Zodd's face quickly turned to a frown, as his body started to scream in pain. In Zodd's eyes, Isao had broken the innocence of the game. Much like throwing a rock during a dirt fight, there were certain rules that shouldn't be broken during a game of Tag.

Ye have no honor, do ye?? Well if ye want street rules, Zodd will play rough with ya.

The playfully swaying tail of Zodd began to stiffen as it still swayed. It began to spin, much like a propeller , and wind began to pickup behind the dwarf. With a burst, the dwarf vaulted toward Isao, closing the distance between the two of them with speed greater than his normal speed. Tontatta Transportation. Zodd's eyes were focused heavily on Isao, moving toward him but focusing in case Isao attempted to flee from that position. If Isao did remain in place, Zodd would zoom toward him, moving between Isao's legs as he neared with his small body. He'd quickly stop and grab the feet of his white-clad playmate and begin spinning. Isao by now, knew the strength that Zodd had, but he'd now feel the strength unfettered. Spinning and Spinning, Zodd aimed to pull Isao off of his feet and launch him into the building across the street. Tontatta Swing!!!

For some reason Zodd was still treating the situation like a game, but unfortunately for him, Isao was not. The idea of someone "having fun" with Fishman slaves sounded abhorrent at best. He couldn't forgive someone mistreating his people. It seemed that Isao's attack had hit its mark. Isao could hear the sound of the shurikan hitting their mark. He had trained for so long with them, that he knew the difference between his stars hitting wood, metal, dirt or flesh. Usually the poison was enough to put a normal person down, but, the response was not one he was used to experiencing. Instead of a cry from pain, he heard a very serious sounding Zodd.

Ye have no honor, do ye?? Well if ye want street rules, Zodd will play rough with ya.

The little dwarf was as strong as he was fast. That was something that Isao had not been ready for originally. But now that he got a sense of who Zodd was, He was feeling a bit more prepared. Pulling his water dial from his pouch, the fishman pulled down his mask in order to suck up water from it. At the same moment, the venomous mucus on his spines would seem to recede into his body. His mouth grew quite puffy as he began to swish the venom and water in his mouth, kneading it in his mouth for the desired effect. Isao wasn't going to be able to get away from this Dwarf, or be able to hit him easily. There was only a few things he could do. The first would have to be to slow him down with attacks that would wear him down.

Zodd had locked on to Isao and bounded up the building in order to attack him. He moved quicker than he had before. That speed wasn't something that Isao would be able to easily avoid. This would be inevitable. As Zodd reached the top of the tavern, he would get under the Shandian Fishman and grab him by the legs. Swinging Isao about, it looked almost ridiculous. But this is what Isao needed to have happen. While Zodd grabbed onto Isao, he would probably notice the bulging cheeks of his target. What happened next would be as unexpected as Zodd's response to being poisoned the first time.

"Senbon irakusa no Jutsu!" Isao would yell as purplish senbons seemed to shoot out of Isao's mouth towards Zodd, who was holding onto him.

About 15 senbons shot towards Zodd as he sent Isao flying to the other side of the street. Isao would barely have time to encase his body in armament as he crashed through the building into the wall of the building behind it. He had made an imprint in the wall and seemed to be pretty banged up. There was still fight left in him, but that dwarf was a strong one. After a bit of trouble, Isao pulled himself out of the wall, dropping to the ground with a thud. He fell to his knees and had to struggle to get back up. He had dropped from the view of the dwarf, but he couldn't let this guy slide. With a half hearted jump, he clambered up the building between him and Zodd, climbing through the hole he had made. A family sat at a dinner table shocked. The father had his fork halfway to his mouth, the mother's mouth was covered by her hands, and the small boy stood on his chair with sparkles seeming to appear in his eyes. "OH WOW! LOOK MOMMY! LOOK DADDY! A REAL LIFE NINJA!!!!" Awkwardly, Isao gave a little wave to the child before walking towards the opening facing the bar where the fight had began. Isao wasn't sure how Zodd would look, but at this point he didn't care.

"You are going to feel the full fury of all Fishmen this night!" Isao would yell in the direction of where he had last seen Zodd.
