Nobu Kaguya



Nobu was calm as everything was going fine, but something felt off in his personal opinion. He felt like the environment was too silent, something that bothered him. But he didn’t speak out on it as he followed his normal actions of landing through usage of the transformation technique to avoid landing on the ground like a brick. Since Nobu came after Ieyasu and Ares, he would be last to reach them, not to mention the slight delay when Liara also followed up as she slowed the process of him reaching them in a sense. But that was beside the point, they had arrived on the surface below and was now all together. That’s when Nobu approached them and said it was the three of them, to which Liara followed now it was four as they would get lost without her. He sighed as she had a point, his sense of direction was literally shot and in a place like this? Nobu would be dead by the end of the night. He nodded after as he heard the roar right after. His body tensed up as he looked around, instinctually he placed his hand upon his Katana’s hilt to prepare for anything coming their way.



Then Inari appeared and started talking about running away, but personally deep inside Nobu knew that wasn’t a real option at this particular moment. The reason being if they were to all run, they had the chance of running out of gas, and being cornered only to get slaughtered by the beasts. The intimidating creature caused him to follow what Ieyasu did, take a step back. His mind needed recollection as personally Nobu was shitting his pants. But he took a gulp as he noticed Ieyasu step up and say that he wouldn’t let them hurt his friends. Nobu gritted his teeth to himself as he thought to himself as time around him stopped ‘Didn’t I want to be the strongest swordsman?’ his eyes were full of determination for the time being as Nobu was willing to stand up and fight alongside Ieyasu. He knew of his condition since he witnessed him get bonked on the head by the tree, Ares yelling at Umut for harming a teammate with his stupid actions.

-If the Flash didn’t affect Nobu-

Nobu was behind Liara and Ieyasu initially as he decided to watch their backs just in case. Then something unexpected happened, a flash bomb went off, but to his surprise due to him being behind he was blocked off from its full effects giving him the ability to still see. This was obviously thanks to Liara and Ieyasu, but now it was Nobu’s time to shine. First before making an actual move, Nobu would look around to inspect if the flash bomb had successfully affected the beast men (DM NEEDED). Though regardless if they weren’t since Nobu was the only one to still see he needed to give his comrades an idea of the situation around them as he could tell some of them had been affected from the unexpected flash bangs. Nobu made sure to call out to them “ABOUT 20 ALL AROUND US!” Nobu exclaimed this in the fastest motion to give everyone an idea of where they would need to attack if they needed a form of defense to counter the enemies. After all, Nobu could only do so much against this many enemies. Hopefully if his words reached his comrades ear’s they would have an idea of where to strike if they needed to defend themselves. Nobu himself said this as QUICK as possible, assuring himself to not waste time as he needed to also move. If Nobu had caught a glimpse of the Beast men being affected by the flash, Nobu would add to his last statement “They are also stunned!” Giving them an image of what they needed to do in a sense. Nobu’s voice was loud enough for anyone in the vicinity to hear them. His voice was anxious and filled with emotions as he personally didn’t know what to do. He was still a kid with a preposterous dream if he didn’t believe in himself to get out of this situation. The instant he finished his addition to his statement to help his comrades, he wasted no time and abused the possibility of the beast men being blind. His target was set on the captain as maybe killing their leader would inflict some form of fear to buy some time. But this action could only happen if things on his end was successful. Nobu dashed forward acting like a hero and weaved the hand seals Tiger → Boar → Ox → Dog → Snake before he reached his target. He was aware of the storm of papers as they swarmed their position to also keep them occupied as a distraction. Nobu would use this chance to close the distance and pulled his Katana from his sheathe with swift speed utilizing his left hand, he used the advantage of the paper storm stopping to strike at the least expected moment (Hopefully with the flash bomb still blinding the beast men). With no time to waste, Nobu attempted to strike first, his blade infused with Lightning chakra as he flowed it through his blade to ensure anything that parried it unless with the same affinity would be cut through. The attack would obviously enter from the armed side of the enemy to avoid the possibility of the shield blocking his strike. The attack was aimed to decapitate the target, attempting a swift horizontal strike from his left to right. Had this happened successfully the goat captains head would be rolling at the floor by the time everyone regained their vision. That is if it all happened successfully, Nobu hoped this would be enough to instill some type of fear amongst them, if not Nobu would run back to the crew as a form of running away, but Nobu had something mentally plotted if things had led to this point.



-If the flash wasn’t blocked and Nobu was still hit- 

If things went the opposite way, Nobu would yell out '''“FUCKING FLASH BOMB! Beware of your surroundings!” '''his peripherals blinded entirely as he needed to prepare himself just in case if things would go south from this point. He weaved the hand seals Tiger → Boar → Ox → Dog → Snake and prepared himself to get attacked unexpectedly while he was blind. This being his first action the moment he was blinded as he couldn’t rely on sound, to many people in the area along with many other factors. Nobu needed time to regain his vision and plot a better way to defend. If the beast men had successfully surrounded him and attempted to cut him down, with his body replacement being active he would trigger it and turn into a log of wood literally evading their attack since it was stated they would engage the instant they got a chance to. With the body replacement taking affect and leaving this log behind, Nobu would attempt to use this moment of seemingly being hit, but instead evaded their attack and attempted to utilize cloud-style deception. This being a technique which is used when the body replacement is used to feign the attack happening to strike when the enemy least expects it. If this worked in Nobu’s favor, he would literally use his mind to envision the location the beast men were located, if they hit him and triggered the body replacement it meant they were near him. With that Note Nobu leaped up and used what Hiromi had taught him to his advantage. Nobu then swung his blade around in a lateral strike at the neck/heads of the beast men which attempted to attack him. If it fully went through without interruption 4 of the 5 beast men Nobu had to deal with would be either decapitated or their necks would be slit. This is assuming they all attacked him at the same time since they circled him (Nobu didn’t know and weaved the hand seals to be safe since he couldn’t see). Since Nobu got blinded as well there wouldn’t be much he could do to save his comrades in this situation, all he could hope was that they found a way to counter what was going on and survive the situation they were in.

-After one or the other happens- 

Nobu would only hope his efforts worked, he did everything he could, from being loud so people could tell they were in trouble, to attempting to stand up to the monsters and help his friends. If Nobu wasn’t blinded and killed the beast men captain, he would run back and hopefully by then his teammates would have their vision back and be able to actually help Nobu fight these monsters off. But if he was, blinded and hopefully successfully killed 4 of his opponents, he would attempt to call out to everyone else after once he distanced himself to a safe distance and out of the last beast man’s range. '''“We need to take some of them down or slow them down then RUN! We can’t beat them all at our current stage!” '''Nobu knew that this was a fight they couldn’t pick, they were all too uncoordinated and their movements were only harming comrades. They needed to escape and recollect for a new plan, hopefully people would understand and start working together. If not Nobu knew this would be his final day on this earth, it was either sink or swim at this point. How would Nobu’s efforts turn out?
