Yudokuna vs Shuurai vs Izakagi [match4]

[Sayomi]

The area is a custom made arena within Kirigakure. Its a simple grassy field with the usual mist that clings to the earth. There are a few trees, boulders, and lake upon the outskirts of this field. In total the grass field is 60 meters and 60 meters. A highly trained shinobi is observing the fight and will intervene to interrupt deadly attacks. Also medical teams are on standby in case of situations that are, unavoidable.

[yudokuna]

Crisp, and rosary styled coloring flooded the sky just above the group. Birds chirping, and crickets just starting to bellow their wonderful tune of the night. Yet it was truly far from the moment of shaded glory, to those that began this type of combat. Even they would feel the sudden shock of the situation. Just working together, a while ago, now made to fight each other. At near-death level, it was truly a exciting moment but for her. It was nothing more then a insulting feature of the world. She had joined, just so that she could say that "she tried" but in truth, was going to do nothing more then ensure, the advancement of another person, though placed into a three way battle. This was a shake of the moment...

"Mizukage! I hereby forfeit. I have no reason to engage in combat, it is pointless." her voice rang sharply, and focused. It was intent that she meant it, and would follow that up by turning her body from the other two, and slowly starting to walk away. Each step, crumbling, and brushing the lush under both shoe, and black cloth feet.

FORFEIT!!!!

[Sayomi]

With the girl declaring her forfeit the overseer of the bout allowed her leave of the area. It was such a shame the younger generation had no stomach for such things. "You two will continue as a single one on one. Start!"

He adorned his usual attire with his blade strapped to his back. He took note of the field as he sat there ontop of the boulder waiting the beginning of the match, he knew somewhat of his opponents skills but there was still much left unseen in his last mission. He made eye contact with his genin partner before speaking out to him "Lets give this our all alright Iza, no holding back, give me everything you got" he said as he then stood up, ready for the battle ahead

The reason for this grand-scale contest was the victors get the opportunity to join to famous team of genin in Kirigakure, Team Hydra. Why was this so important? It was a team forged by the Mizukage herself to train and perform missions with them. This has been what every genin in the village wanted -- to be trained under the Mizukage. But some more than others. As the pink-haired male walked to the area, mist was shrouded around him close to the male's ankles as if it was clinging to him. He saw the tree around used for the area and rocks and he looked at the person he was about to face...or so he thought. There he saw two silhouettes of a young man and woman. He saw more in detailed as he continued to walk closer -- they were Shuurai and Yadokuna! As he senior seen the sight of fighting both of them in the tournament in order to progress further to to test her skill, found it appalling as she raised her voice and said. "Mizukage! I hereby forfeit. I have no reason to engage in combat, it is pointless." Ketsui's eye widened a bit from hearing those word came out her mouth, but it wasn't surprising coming from her. During his short time knowing her, she wanted the integrity of her skill and clan to be intact. It was a respectable decision and he held no grudge towards her. As she turned and walked away, he nodded towards her as a gesture of respect. As Ketsui looked, he saw his other teammate, Shuurai face him. From his distance of fifteen feet, he was glad to be pitted against the blue and white boy. Not in the sense of ego and he thought it guarantee a sure victory, but rather as a sense of friendship and bonding. However this was a fight after all -- Shuurai holds a Kekkei Touta of the Storm. Being not from a clan, Ketsui was envious slightly for not being blessed from being from such a respective family and able to use a unique form of combat. Ketsui clenched his right fist tightly as he was thinking about how mediocre he was. "Lets give this our all alright Iza, no holding back, give me everything you got" echoed from Shuurai's voice. This wasn't the time for sulking on his ability. So what if he wasn't blessed with a power of a clan. All he knew was, his sword would cut through anything that would block his path..that was his kendo [Path of the Sword]. The male looked up with a sincere smile with his eyes closed to Shuurai followed by a nod. "Ok. Shuurai-kun! Let's have a fair and square duel." Ketsui said as he placed his right hand on the hilt of his katana then he opened his eyes. The male stepped his right back by a foot's distance as he watched his opponent and teammate Shuurai make the first move.

Shuurai-kun! Let's have a fair and square duel." Standing about about 20 meters from his opponent, the young man asses the situation and his surroundings as he prepared his attack. He quickly leaped up ontop of a large boulder and began to form a quick of hand seal, shortly after that a large cloud of mist would form over a 10x10 area over iza, hoping that its thick mist would cloud his enemies vision. The young blue haired genin then would quickly form a handseal in his right hand at his chest,for which a storm ball would appear in his left hand, quickly launching it out to his enemy for the time being, his aim was not at the genin at the center of the fog, but the fog itself, steadily maintaining eye contact with the globe. Lets see what you got he thought as the sphere quickly launched at the fog. Using the properties of nature he hoped to electrify the fog in its entirety with his ability, forming an electric fog. Hoping at the very least to hinder his opponents movements, he knew very well that if he was in too close range to Iza, the advantages of his bloodline would be minimal at best. The young genin stood ontop of the boulder with his right hand on his blade ready for they enemy's counter.

As the Mizukage declared the start of the match, Ketsui nodded and would bend his knees forward, springing his legs preparing for a dash towards hie foe. As he saw the young man began to jump, Ketsui began to dash froward into a burst of speed while letting go of the hilt of his katana and weaved the Rat, Snake, Horse, Dog, Rabbit and Dog hand-seals in the span of three seconds as he covered the field by ten meters in the same time the young swordsman weaved the hand-motions. As the Dog handseal was finalized, the male intake a small pocket of air as as chakra molded inside of Ketsui's body, specifically, his chest and stomach. The male sprint forward as he saw his friend/foe lift his arms to perform a jutsu. Since he knew he the Sansutomu clan, he can use either wind, water and lightning nature jutsu at his whim. He had to be cautious. With that said, a shroud of mist engulfed a portion of the area. He didn't want to be caught at the mercy of Shuurai. He would turn his body via his waist to the left as he was slowed down his run slightly to perform the spin. Now on his left foot, Ketsui used the turn and twist of the waist and pivoted the ball of the foot to give him the momentum to perform the full execution of the technique. "Fuuton: Shinkuuha..!" echoed from the boy's mind as he stopped the spin by a stomp on his right foot and with a slight dip in his head, was finished molding the chakra with the air he inhaled and exhaled from his mouth. Then at that moment shot out a series of arcing gusts of wind toward the mist, three in total. The arcing blades of wind would project itself forward covering two meters per second. The slash's dimensions were three feet wide and seven meters wide. Being that that is the wind's nature embedded with chakra, the cutting arcs would slash forward and around towards the chakra infused mist from a 360 degree radius. Though the cut wasn't permanent nor major, but from the the small incision did its job. After the cut, the slicing wind made an explosion. How was that possible? Tuns out if the the contact of the wind hit another obstacle in its path. The recoil had sent Ketsui back two meters and the blast blew majority of the mist needed to see Shuurai for only a brief window of time. While the initial slash of wind made contact with the incoming object, the second and third arcs of wind projected at Shuurai. "Watch yourself, Shuurai-kun" Ketsui said softly to himself as he would observe from the middle of the cloud of now dissipated mist. Ketsui with his left hand did a one handed seal of half ram as he channeled chakra to the male's feet and sandals. As blue energy began to circulate to the boy's feet, the male would sprint again as he began to weave hand-seals and preparing 20% of the male's chakra towards the blue and white-haired male with his new augmented speed. SPOILER: Click to show Shinkūha (Vacuum Wave) Rank: C Type: Offensive / Fuuton Ninjutsu Range: 10 + meters Chakra: Low Special: Wind blade can travel 10 meters, plus 10 more each time relearned. Also when re-trained the user can fire up to one more blade of wind allowing yet another target. Description: After performing the requires seals the user takes a deep breath and spins while exhaling, compressing the released air into a solitary blade of wind that covers a substantial area; roughly 10 meters around the user, due to their circular motion. Each blade of wind is exhaled a fraction of a second after the other while turning The resulting sharpened blast is large enough to slice through multiple targets located a significant distance from the user, causing grievous injuries amongst those hit, which may even prove fatal. Fires a total of three blades of wind able to strike a total of three opponents. Domain: Fuuton.

Knowing know that his position was compromised, he knew he had to make this quick while the mist was still holding. With the young pink haired swordsmen still in the mist,Shuurai took a step forward and the young shuurai reached into his pouch and laid down 20 spikes on the floor in front of him covering about 3 meters from right to left, using the shroud of the mist on the floor to effectively camouflage them. Suddenly his opponent emerged from the mist jutsu Shuurai had prepared. With the young pink haired man approaching at an incredible speed shuurai, trying to time it right the young boy brought a seal to his chest once again, and thus another storm sphere formed in his left hand holding it momentarily before launching it at his opponent again, it was aimed for the boys head region in hopes of knocking him out.

Upon his exit ,the mist would reform again with the aid of Shuurai. This would become a problem to Ketsui unless he rids of this troublesome mist. As he continued to run, he felt a sharp pain in in his sandal. He immediately stopped and lifted his right foot, only to see a small makibishi in his sandal as it make a gash and penetrated the male's shoe. If there was one, they will bound to be more. He removed the meddling spike as he endured a small wince of pain. From the immediate pain that the spike had, instantly stopped his flow of chakra in his legs to perform his enhanced speed. With a changed of strategy, Ketsui would move to his left and run to the left while looking at the ground to see more of the spikes. While this was a slight detour from his objective, Ketsui was slightly enjoyed the challenge that Shuurai brought to the table. Now running to his opponent side and running at his normal speed, changes to be made. He finally saw the end of the spikes and saw a glimpse of Shuurai's silhouette due to the sun's light. However due to the mist's low visibility, he couldn't see what exactly he was planning. To counter and prepare, Ketsui reached in the right hand into the right pocket of his hakama the only two shuriken he had in stock on his person. He placed the center circle of the shuriken in his middle finger as he placed his left hand over the she shuriken. Ketsui turned to the right and jumped over the trail of spikes as he would continue to run forward towards Shuurai. He continued to run forward but not as fast as his initial speed, halving his overall speed for the sake of retaining his stamina in his body. While he was running and as he covered his weapons, Ketsui placed wind nature chakra around the edges as the began to spin independently due to the rotation of the wind chakra, as if they were levitating in between his hands (clockwise rotation to be precise). With his minimal chakra pool and lack of control chakra form, Ketsui only made one layer of wind around the shuriken. As the preparations were made, the male would place his right arm to his left shoulder and swung his arm and released his hand and finger to launch the wind enhanced shuriken towards Shuurai at an increasing speed towards his chest area at a speed of 30 mph with the wind adding the speed of the aerodynamic of the weapon as well as its potential to hurt. The sakura-colored haired male would take a sudden side-dash to the left off his left foot, trying to attempt to divert his foe with a sudden change of course. The male would be 5 meters away from his initial spot as he reached in his left pocket of his hakama and pulled out a kunai pre-wrapped explosive note around the handle of the kunai and pulled it out with his left middle finger. While the shuriken were targeting the teen, an explosion was heard again. Shuurai must have performed another ranton technique Ketsui deducted as he recalled how the exchange between his Shinkuuha and his Storm ball collided. While the first shuriken made contact with the ball, the second was free from the interference and bypassed the collision as it was still coming towards the Sansutomu boy. Ketsui held the loop of the kunai in his left middle finger as he lifted his arm up as he released and launched the projectile at Shuurai's right side of his body forward in a diagonal at 18mph.

The young man watched as the young pink haired genin threw the 3 kunais, one came at an incredible speed which exploded the storm orb while the other two still proceeded towards him, quickly running southwest he just barely missed the first shuriken and the second kunai after hit a tree a couple feet behind him, much to his surprise it had an exploding tag attached which shortly after blew up, it knocked the young genin back a couple feet as he quickly rolled on the ground for a quick lift back up, as he continued westbound. Nice move, almost got, lets see how he likes it he thought as he continued westbound in and threw a string of hand seals together once again, battered and now covered in dirt the young genin took his left hand into his pocket and attached a kunai with an exploding tag also. While now placing it in his mouth he stun together some hand seals and launched a large wind sphere at his opponent before running towards his opponent and throwing the tagged kunai at his opponents feet. Attack high and low, lets see if he can take it he thought as he smirked and reached his hand onto his blades handle.

From the double attack from his ninja projectiles were aimed at the mist genin, the kunai's trajectory was on course towards the male's torso. Since the second shuriken was aimed toward the body, its path was linear but straight to the point as well as the kunai's trajectory toward's the male's right side of his body. His opponent was crafty as he made a slight change in angle and moved southwest (on Ketsui's right). He missed the full attack of the shuriken, but with proper precautions, the edge and wind of the shuriken slightly cut the Storm genin by the right shoulder. As he ran mostly west, the kunai had hit a tree and made contact and exploded behind Shuurai. With the explosion, this was Ketsui's chance to gain the upper hand. As Shuurai began to fall and then roll off the ground, Ketsui slightly built up a small portion of his chakra his feet and turned his right foot and body to the right and looked at Shuurai. His line of sight was clear. As Shuurai began to weave hand-seal, Ketsui sprinted forward doing the same. Time was running out and this had to be the final exchange between the two. Ketsui already use over half his overall chakra and stamina trying to defend against him. It was his turn to take the offensive. While he was running, he saw Shuurai take out a kunai with an explosive tag attached and placed it in his mouth. After that, the genin would perform more hand-seals as he held a small ball like object of chakra. It wasn't just an ordinary ball, it was the same ball that k.o'd a grown man. The Wind Bomb. He knew if he took that at full force, it would be game over. As Ketsui woven the Ram, Snake and Tiger seals, Shuurai had a double assualt on his own. He threw the wind bomb straight at him followed by a kunai towards the ground. Timing was the key factor in this duel. After the Tiger seal was formed, Ketsui's body began to split an image of himself. The swordsman side-dashed to the right at an angle in a diagonal pattern by 2 meters as the clone took the wind bomb and the explosion, making a small leap. Because it wasn't a clone of substance, the instant contact would cause the clone to disappear. As he landed, Ketsui continued to run forward by another dash to his left, making him parallel to Shuurai. He knew as soon the kunai made contact with anything, it would explode indefinitely. So with a small burst of chakra, he stomped with his right foot and leaped forward as the explosion took place behind him by 2 meters forward. Though he was out of harm's way from any major damage, the aftershock would make all the difference. As he leapt forward, Ketsui hunched his back in an arc while he held out both his arms to catch the ground and slightly absorb the force of his body. He caught the ground and concaved his head and body as he began to roll forward. As the roll was completed, Ketsui was on his right knee and was on his left leg kneeling, but not for long. He would spring off his left leg forward and make one last burst to advance towards Shuurai. While running, the sakura-color haired male began to grab the hilt of his katana with his left hand as he simultaneously drew it. With just a mere three meters in between him and the end of the duel, was crucial. As he began to draw his katana, Shuurai was ready as well by reaching overhead and touching the hilt of his sword. Great minds did think alike. However between a katana and a longsword, the draw was the deciding factor, as he advanced, he turned the hilt around at the last second so that the blunt edge would hit as he made stepped forward with his right foot as he swung in a horizontal fashion toward's Shuurai's sternum by holding the katana in his left hand. If this connected, the match had to be over.

The young genin before him had clinched his blade in his left hand.. Im sorry my friend, this is gonna hurt if this works he thought as prepared a counter to his opponents move, hoping to stop his attack as he was unsheathing his blade he raised his right arm in order to try and prevent the slash from commencing using his forearm bone to try and make contact with the opponents forearm/wrist area. Combined with this attack the young blue haired boy would also attempt to launch his left fist into the stomach of his opponent if the attack would hit the fight would be over, as from his wrist a large hidden blade would launch out into the stomach of his partner hoping to end the fight, this hidden blade was one of shuurais moves his partner had not witnessed so he hoped it would catch him off guard.

Since Ketsui was in his range, Shuurai caught his left wrist with his right hand, halting the male's strike. Bad timing and judgment on his part for sure. He saw Shuurai's his wrist and saw him prepare for a punch. Ketsui had to respond it to fast, with every ounce of his strength, the male would bring his right arm around Shuurai's neck as he began to pull him in and "clinch" him closer. As Shuurai delivered the punch, Ketsui hunched his back in a concave to minimize the the punch's force, but his took the hit regardless. "Now take this Shuurai-kun, my resolve!" he thought as he propelled his right knee to strike the genin's solar plexus. Being it so up close and person, the knee had to hit, but something was off. Shuurai's punch wasn't a normal punch. As the knee and punch exchange took place, Ketsui's felt stabbed in the stomach. He looked closely as saw a small knife hidden in his clothing around his wrist as he delivered the punch. Soon after, the male had let go of his neck and began to cover his wound as he stood there bleeding. If things don't end now, the genin would be in grave danger with a stab to the stomach.

The overseer of the match was privy to all and his keen eyes caught a glimpse of the gleaming hidden blade. As things were going the pink haired genin was sure to commit in close and the result would be a deep stab wound. His orders were clear to not allow any serious injury. With the gathering of chakra rushing to his heels he performed shunpo, slipping through the open seams of reality. With a powerful step and drawing of his nodochi he blocked the hidden blade, his other arm grabbing the blue haired childs free and swinging him around to the other side.

"Shuurai advances!"
