Ryūsuke was for the better part of the ordeal, amazed as he watched with clear lavender eyes the beam of condensed white shoot forward and ultimately impact with the side of his clone. The end result being a loud explosion, as the bunshin detonate with contact, sending flares of red and streaks of enraged orange in all directions, touching the bark of trees and the tips of the grass as the fire expanded. Tactic two, complete: premeditated detonation of a clone to cause sufficient damage at the range the two instilled into their minds. Training had gone according to plans, and while one certain person was missing, they should be arriving soon.

Peering down to his side, the Uchiha watched contently as Kiniro jumped up to his side and stood proudly. She was something else, and while not as adept in Ninjutsu as he or Asato; her ability to transcend one field made up for it, and while her Ninjutsu were greatly improving, her other turf of combat, Taijutsu was still fresh and her field of proficiency. She was a balanced fighter and soon as the “Yo” signaled in the distance, and the Uchiha caught on to the position, he smiled and patted Kiniro’s shoulder. “You take a break. Have a snack.” He exclaimed, reaching into his Kosode and pulling out two rice balls, and a Bento box swollen with fried vegetables. She worked hard, and thus deserved a treat. Her stomach couldn’t resist and as she nodded and snatched the food, Ryūsuke looked on at the arrival of Asato and sighed contently.

“You’re late.” He murmured beneath his breath, only loud enough for the Kunochi who rested to his side to hear as the crimson-haired Shinobi strung together a weave of Kata. Emerging to his side, an indistinguishable copy of himself formulated and without a spoken command, rushed down from the tree and sprinted towards the late arrival. Asato was competent, and his chakra nature inundated that of the Uchiha. Nonetheless, was he even in the mood to deflect? It didn’t matter and as the Clone weaved in jagged, irregular patterns attempting to close the gap as well as disorient the foe, the real Uchiha looked from above, waiting to see how Asato would react. Training began once more.

"No duh I'm late, captain obvious." Responding with a smart ass comment, his sky blue optics watched as the training commenced. This was some kid shit, was he trying to test the waters with his clone? A smirk covered his visage as his hands clasped together to form a string of kata. His doppelganger created purely out of water stood right next to him, awaiting orders from his creator. As the katon bunshin began to move in irregular patterns, his own bunshin rushed towards the enemy.

In the matter of one second, the distance between both doppelgangers closed. The mizu bunshin attempted to dispel the clone with a flurry of punches and kicks to varies sections of his body. If all else failed, it'd detonate outwards in an attempt to put out the clone.

As his clone pushed the offensive, and the ground soon became a battlefield for the trio, Ryūsuke allowed Kiniro solitude, fearing the battle may involve her while she was indisposed to conflict while eating. Leaping down from the tree, the Uchiha landed with a quiet thud, and looked on animatedly at the action that had taken place before him. Asato knew better then to allow his mouth to get the better of them; as much was demonstrated in the academy where he was continually put in punishment by the Academy instructors after a verbal lashing on his behalf. Nonetheless, it was always pleasant to train with him last partner when he could.

Asato however summoned a clone of his own as the smoke dispelled from his side, revealing an exact copy of him. Knowing full well the element the clone took in terms of shape and nature, it wasn’t hard to terminate it was a Suiton variant. Nonetheless, at such a distance, it made little difference and the Uchiha continued to look on, plotting his next attack while the clone and his rough-mouth complement dealt with the flaming construct. Options for defense as well as offensive strikes roamed through his head, but nothing seemed really fitting. The two clones were closing in on one another and time was literally down to the tie.

Rushing with a flush velocity and steady pace, the katon bunshin motioned towards the Suiton replica and as Asato’s clone lashed out with kicks and punches aim to destruct, the clone snickered, dodging skillfully as it eluded backwards and off to the side, leading the conflicting clone into the next strike. Meanwhile, the real Ryūsuke looked on with thorough eyes; his Sharingan not active, but his normal sight did just well to notice the battle at hand. Bracing himself, his feet tensed into the ground, digging into the gravel with a tough engrave before he abruptly pushed off for the opposition.

Meanwhile on the battlefield, the Katon clone was giving in, as he soon found his face being punched inward by the other, instantaneously sparking an explosion of flame, which set off a chain reaction, forcing the opposing clone to explode as well. As the fire and water met, a conclusion of condensation manifested as steam appearted, soon clouding the two genin’s opposing views. Nonetheless, erupting from the opposite end, Ryūsuke emerged, one of his two Hook blades in hand as he motioned speedily towards Asato, Once in range, he would deliver a downward sweep, attempting to cleave his friend in two if he hadn’t avoided or counter.

As the clones collided, Asato's was the victor, even though in the end they both perished. His optics had never left Ryusuke's silhouette, so, during the smoke that was rising he saw where his opponent went. Asato wasn't one to plan ahead, he simply relied on his battle instincts, because sometimes plans never worked out and got people killed. Instincts were God given, something he found more reliable then a silly little tactic. As his partner came at him with a hook blade, Asato's hand grasped his Chokuto; a straight single edged sword.

Both hands gripped on the hilt of the Chokuto, he put all his force into parrying the incoming blow from the opposition. Immediately after, he brought his body in, revealing an incoming knee coming towards the abdomen of Ryusuke at a quick pace. Hoping to knock the victim back some, as he prepared his second move¹

Rushing forward, the subtlety of life rushed before the Genin. What to do, who to see, and how to react to the world around him after this moment flooded in akin to the massive inundation after the breaking of a dam. Thoughts flushing into his conscious, while internal behaviors, processes and memories ran abundant in his subconscious. The Uchiha’s life flashing before his eyes, yet he couldn’t see it. Blood pumping through his veins, nonetheless he couldn’t sense the sensation, and his opponent organized a defense, one he should have saw coming. Coming down with his blade in a rapid manner, the crimson-haired Genin hoped his opponent dodged. Death wasn’t an endeavor one should have to experience now.

His arm falling down, with the blade pursing in a right-handed grip, the Uchiha looked on with confidence eyes, peering into his friend’s dark eyes with his own vibrant purple. It had been some time since he last encountered Asato on the combat zone, and while this was only training, male pride never wavered and the two seemingly flung themselves into combat inadvertently. Nonetheless, the dark-haired genin wasn’t a hoodwink, and as he gripped his own blade, Ryūsuke looked on as his weapon was deflected back off a parry. Instantly he jumped back, distancing himself two feet from Asatao for safe measure using the momentum of the parry to carry him.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, the Uchiha pushed off, and the strands of lively scarlet danced in the background for Ryūsuke rushed into a follow up. Touching the handle with a dual grip previously, the Uchiha would swing his arms up, allowing the Hook blade to travel in a diagonal upwards slash. While easily countered with another part or evasive manner, Ryūsuke wasn’t falling back on effectiveness of the strike itself, but rather of the time involved, quickly following up in succession to keep his foe at bay for the time being.

As the Genin bounced back and came for more, Asato wasted no time in using his prepared technique. As his partner rushed in blindly, Asato expelled a strong jet of water towards Ryusuke. He was not going to lose this fight, his pride was on the line, and that's just something he wasn't going to lose. Especially since a girl was watching! The jet of water would push his opponent back, and send him flying backwards a couple meters back. As he was launched back, he threw his Chokuto violently at his opponent.

Spiraling through the air, gaining momentum, it'd be going right for Ryusuke's chest. This was a gamble definitely, as he hoped the shinobi would instead get nailed in the chest by the hilt of the blade, instead of the blade itself. Unless he somehow found a way to defend himself that is, let's see how well Uchiha do under pressure.

His own defensive, turned counter would be ephemeral as the Uchiha saw his window to deal damage closing before his eyes and soon his own widened with a edgy intent. Before him, a massive extravaganza of water in large volumes succumbed the open air, conjured by the Suiton practitioner, Asato no doubt. He had little time, and while previously worrying about the counter time frame of his opponent, he realized his own was closing. Without much effort, and hidden behind the veil of his opponent’s own technique , the Uchiha had little time to capitalize, but enough time to ostensibly evade within an inch of his life.

Vanishing, the Genin executed a swift Shunshin, following a quick set of Kata, escaping off the side as he flat in a diagonal manner. High speed movement was something he excelled at, and using this technique without fail had realized its function when the Uchiha found himself behind his opponent, who at the time still should have been in the midst of his own technique. NOW he found time to capitalize and like the dignified clansmen he was bred from, Ryūsuke didn’t come to disappoint, and soon he weaved another series of handseals and placed one hand beneath his jaw, bracing himself.

Exerting from his mouth, a jet of concentrated flames shot outwards as the Shinobi utilized the Endan technique. A simplistic but effective Ninjutsu when granted an opponent. Soon molding, and taking shape, the stream of fire transcended into a large orb as it hurled itself towards the stationary Asato. If he hadn’t caught onto the Uchiha’s escape, he would be without a weapon, and if he caught onto the fire ball soaring his way, would he have enough time to escape. Nonetheless, Ryūsuke kept his guard high. Having just escaped his own near fatal experience, the Uchiha knew well enough not to underestimate his team.

The jet stream of water began to subside, and eager to see if his weapon hit his opposition his optics stared straight in a linear fashion. But something was up, he didn't hear a scream, or any type of noise from his opponent. Suddenly the area around him heated up a bit, and his peripheral vision spotted a orange hue. Instincts, this is where they played there part. Should he move, or stay? His instincts told him to get the fuck out, so instead of standing there like a sitting duck he utilized Shunshin no Jutsu to move towards his Chokuto which was about ten meters from his original position.

Quickly turning around, Chokuto still residing on the floor, he withdrew two marked projectiles^1,2. Throwing one in the air, aiming for a arc fashion, it'd drop down to his opposition's position - at the same time he threw the second marked one directly for his opponent. As they reached his opponent's position, one kata would be strung to cause a explosion of sorts. Intended to injure the Genin, hopefully blowing him back a couple of feet.

Looking on as his fire ball technique pummeled the area with a gluttonous purpose. The Uchiha was currently playing on a amalgamation of instinct and rationalization, seemingly holding the better dynamics of the two to formulate a fighting style truly befitting of a Shinobi; even more so, one from the prodigious clan Uchiha. The only action he could take at this moment was to wait, and while his hands now rested at his side, something seemed abnormal about the conversion. His opponent motioned away, eluding the radius of his Endan and rushed towards his blade. Superlatively, stopping the touch of his blade would be a priority. Nonetheless, giving away position was something he didn’t favor.

Asato was a sly individual and his bracing and blunt demeanor spoke differently to what he could deliver on the battleground. Rushing forward with a premeditated action, the Uchiha attempted to close in on his opponent. Eyes glued to the Shinobi and restricting tunnel vision, Ryūsuke went over his next action psychologically while he sped up. Jumping to the offensive now was ideal, given his opponent hadn’t a physical weapon to hold him afloat. And whatever jutsu he planned to supplement, his own cache of the Ninjutsu arts should have provided some leverage. However as he moved on, a projectile flew pass, and one soared into the sky.

Boom ! !

Before he could react, Ryūsuke was flung to the side with a strong concussive force leading him to falling into the sand. Nonetheless, before he landed, ignoring the pain temporarily, he weaved together a string of handseals. “Arrgh” he called out quietly in pain as his body skidded across the soil below, momentarily sliding before coming to a stop. Face stuck in the ground, an oily essence expelled from his mouth, though it wasn’t blood. Lifting his head up quickly, eyes squinted; the Uchiha continued to finish expelling the substance until it covered the immediate ground in front of him up to several feet out. If Asato rushed in, a plan would ensue as the crimson-haired Uchiha wiped his mouth and looked on. Good move.

As the explosion went off, and his opponent skidding across the ground he sent another marked¹ duo towards his opponent's current location. The oily substance that his friend let out would prove to be the downfall of him, what irony. As the projectile approached, he crafted the same seal he did last time, and a gigantic explosion followed. The oily substance allowed the explosion to drastically increase, and if the damage from that didn't knock him out, there was nothing else to be done.

Afterwards, he grabbed the Chokuto, and re-sheathed it. Sky blue optics never leaving the scene, watching anxiously as smoke arose from the area. Was he still alive? Did he manage to escape? Was the fight over? Wondering about all these things, he let out a shrug. "I might have overdid it." He chuckled.

Ryūsuke didn’t know how to react to his opponent standing at such a distance. Nonetheless, if he approached from afar, a proper tactic could be implicated into the battle itself. The Uchiha prided himself on being an individual, whom born without the gifts that warranted most of his clan, to stand evenly against those considered geniuses or prodigies. His name held no substance within the Uchiha compound, but his legacy once crafted would be something to reverence, and while his life was nothing short of difficult, his mind and ambition would push him to new heights and achieve something great.

As he looked on, the scarlet haired Genin sighed at the sight of an approaching projectile, and soon, with a well placed pounce, the Uchiha ventured off to his right, escaping the impending light show. Soon, as the weapon touched the ground, now bathed in the liquid of the Kasumi endo no jutsu, the Uchiha covered his ears as the detonation occurred, forcing the oils to light anew. Tensing his fingers into the soil, Ryūsuke immediately jumped to his feet and peered on, only standing as he smiled. “You’re better than I expected, Asato-kun.” He exclaimed, admiring his friend on a job well done before something triggered in his mind.

Reaching onto his back, drawing both his bladed weapons, the Uchiha smiled, sliding down into an offensive stance as his right hand motioned towards the front, and his left sticking out to the side for flexibility. “But can you keep up with me?” Inquiring beneath his breath, only loud enough for those close to the Uchiha (namely himself) to hear, he would then push the offensive, charging his opponent. No Ninjutsu or trickery was needed at the moment; all he did was close the gap. How would his opponent react, or counter? Nothing was given, only earned. This was one of those defining moments were childhood rivals would compete to see who truly was the stronger individual.

"Can I keep up with you? Pfft, well we're just about to find out, aren't we?" An intensifying gaze stared deep into Ryusuke's soul, this is where it all ended. The training between the two would come to an end with a traditional sword fight, no tricks, just plain swordsmanship. Now, this is where his pride was on the line. Grasping his Chokuto, he unsheathed the magnificent blade. Bending his knees to absorb any impact that came from his opponent's strike, he began to charge towards him. "LETS DO THIS." A scream roared through the forest, everyone in the vicinity would hear it, and it might even catch the young woman eating off guard.

He swung his sword towards the man, hoping for a clash of blades to happen among the two. If he tried to pull anything sneaky, Asato was ready to counter. This was merely a test of strength, skill, and speed all in one. Who shall come out the victor of this match-up?

Kiniro truly had the best of both worlds right now. While she was surrounded by combat and hostility, she wasn’t directly involved in the fight. Her eyes would capture all that was present, being Ryūsuke and Asato taking shots at one another to complete overwhelm their opposition. This fight had transitioned several times from ranged combat, to ranged disputes. Nonetheless, the entertainment was amusing and the confidence that seemingly exhausted from the two never grew drained and while she ate, the golden eyed would should have been plenty content for the time being. After all, it wasn’t a recurrent moment when the two males of their three-man squadron squared off against one another.

Approaching with each step, only growing closer and closer to his opponent, a number of transactions ran threw his mind. This would be the defining moment that separated the two from one another and truly tested the waters for their camaraderie. This was the moment that would drive one or the other to grow in strength only to go beyond his rival and close friend. If Ryūsuke wasn’t the victor, he wouldn’t be petty; nonetheless this wasn’t inducement to lose against Asato. They were friends, but they were also Shinobi; mental and physical strength were only two aspects of the three that governed the body. Spiritually, one had to be intact with them and content with what they had to truly succeed.

As Asato drew his blade down in a downwards sweep, the Uchiha braced himself. Arching his left arm, and twisting his hilt as he lifted the blade, Ryūuke allowed his opponent’s blade to slide off the surface of his hook blade as he dragged his arm down, hoping his opponent’s weapon to follow, using the momentum of his opponent against him. Dually, he lifted his right across his chest, attempting to cut at the dark-haired genin and force him to either recoil or take a direct hit. If his attack didn’t fall through, and Asato countered his counteract, the crimson-haired wasn’t concern, he two had methods to retaliate.

His strike, while it was stronger, did no damage, instead got parried in a way. As his blade clashed with his opponent's, Ryusuke's blade was lowered. In that one moment, he spun to the left as fast as he could, avoiding the incoming punch. He was now at the rear of his opponent. Now, with the momentum he gained from the spin, he grabbed the back of his opponent's shirt and attempted to throw him a couple feet back with all his force put into that one throw. It would hopefully have him land on his back, off-balanced and open to a follow up attack.

The adrenaline was coursing through his veins as the fight continued, it was clearly a dual between the two men of the group. Something that would definitely be talked about continuously for the months to come, until a new fight takes place to best the last one. This is what happened when you had a rival worth the time and effort.

The parrying technique was risky but efficient. It left the shoulder province of the body in which his blade centered around open, nonetheless, with dual weapons, it didn’t matter, for an immediate follow up attack could occur, either knocking his foe off balance, or seemingly striking and ending the fight in general. Though neither planned the kill the other, one could only hope how far they were willing to take this dispute with one another. Blades were something both excelled in, amongst other fields, and the sense of honor always seemed pertinent when steel collided with steel. Akin to the old ways, a Shinobi was still disciplined like its predecessors.

As his left blade held tightly with Asato, his right ventured across, attempting to only graze the genin. A fatal or even a severe wound wasn’t needed; after all, none of the Shinobi here today was experts in the medical arts. Nonetheless, it seemed that Asato brushed up on his training, and using the impetus, which was gathered from his previous strike stolen by the Uchiha, the dark-haired Genin recoiled, and spun off Ryūsuke’s body. He didn’t react quickly, thinking nothing of it which soon he would pay for dearly. His kosode grasped from the back, the Uchiha was forced backwards into what seemed to be a tug and push.

Falling on his back, the Uchiha quickly, placed his blade wielding hands on the ground, and soon rolled as he instantly brought himself back to his feet.”Good move, Asato-san” He complimented, soon holding his weapons in a defensive stance. It was now time for the charcoal eyed Shinobi to make a move, and finally be the aggressor. His stance was stern and his will was unmoving. Either the other attacked or this would be a stalemate; no middle ground involved at all.
