A friendly spar {free to join}

[codester]

Connak looked at his surroundings, trees surrounded. He could barley see the sun. He walked and found a clearing, it was just aa few feet around. Connak decided this would be a good place to rest, he took of his satchel and laid it on a close by rock. He laid on the grassy closed his eyes and fell asleep.

He heard a small noise. Connak opened his eyes and saw a small bird staring at him, it pecked at the ground and flew off. Connak stood up yawned, and walked over to his satchel.He opened it picked up a small loaf of bread, and ripped it in half. After a few minutes Connak heard a trickling noise, he got up wrapped what was left of the breand, and walked over to the sound's origin. Coming upon the stream, Connak took his water jug emptied it's contents, and filled the water jug he closed it and started to walked west to the wind country.

After a few days Connak saw a sigh that said, * WELCOME TO KUSA.* Connak thought to himself that he must of went North-west instead of west. Connak made camp and decided to go to the earth country. Apon reaching the borders Connak was approached by a single person

[Natsuhi]

Perpetually flickering from rock to rock and onto what little forested land Tsuchi no kuni managed to harvest, Natsuhi needed a break from her daily, village chores. Given the peaceful circumstances within the country it'd been a pleasant day for training or combat. As Natsuhi traversed swiftly across the unending expanse of earth searching for an appropriate area for training, flashes of green and brown flickered across the sides of her face as she sped through a plethora of trees, scanning the layout of the physical land. However, her tread came to a sudden halt at the sight of a lingering man from what she could tell, one of which she was not familiar with.

Roughly 7 meters from where the man stood she watched silently, observing his behavior, and physical being, but what her eyes fell upon was something she could not simply pass up. A konohagakure headband, but it was not just an ordinary band, no, it'd been one that bore the mark of a criminal. "Why is there a missing konoha shinobi approaching Tsuchi no kuni? This cant mean anything good." With her suspicions aroused and desired for combat ignited she leapt down from the tree branch, falling to the earth with a soft thump, leaving no traces of her presence upon the tree. Her spear at the ready in both, she decreased the distance between the man by 2 meters with simple, cautious steps, all the while not allowing him to slip from her focus.

"Prepare yourself!"

[codester]

Connak just stood at the Earth country's border. He saw a fast moving figure. It was a hidden stone ninja, probably finishing its chores. Connak just stood there. waiting if the ninja would approach him. The figure stop about 7 meters from him.

The figure was a female earth ninja, she just sat in a close by tree, it didn't take a ninja master to see her. She jumped down from the tree, with her spears drawn. She distanced herself about 2 meters were Connak was standing. She shouted "prepare yourself!" Connak just smiled, and raised his fist waiting to see what her next move will be.

[Natsuhi]

Having already advanced and suffocated the distance between the two she thought, why not cleave away at the remaining meters and engage this man. The exchanging of contact would be inevitable at this point, however, she merely gauged the area, imbibing herself with myriad angles and distances all within the fraction of a second. With controlled, feathered steps, Natsuhi advanced once more, cleaving away at what little distance remained (3 meters ), and with her spear now in range of striking, the round of violence rang.

Hesitation, fear, and stress, all remained absent within Natsuhi's mind and gaze, leaving only a expression of joy and ravishment. A golden opportunity to truly test her skill laid itself before her, how could she not take it, why wouldn't she? Besides, in a world full of magic and seemingly tangible, otherworldly powers, she needed to take hold of power at a moments notice.

Nevertheless, cold steel tore heinously into the openness of air, plunging forward towards the mans chest in the form of a silver blur. The silvery blur snapped back no slower than when it blossomed, and in that moment of retraction another blur blessed the mans eyes, a horizontal attack aimed at the forefronts of his renal pelvis. All the while she remained slightly over two meters from the man, her spears range would play heavily in his defeat.

Connak saw the spears coming, he knew that what ever her training the spears would pierce because of the range. He jumped up one of the spears all most hit the bottom of his foot, Connak did a front flip and landed behind the girl. He unzipped his trench coat to give more movement.

Connak stood there and tapped the girls shoulder. He smilied and hide in a near by tree. What the girl didn't know is that Connak slipped a kunai. Connak was holding the Kunai in the stabbing form rather then the throwing form. In a few seconds the girl had spotted the Nuke-nin. Connak asked for her name.

[Natsuhi]

With lightning speeds Natsu's blade retracted, preceding the mans arced motion of travel. Near instinctively her senses acted upon impulse, thereby airting the direction of her following attack. Once more had her spear launched itself, greedily speeding in a vertical path, as he attempted to leap over her frame, meeting him mid-jump with a fatal strike to his torso. Sadly enough her attack dared not end there now, the brutal mistakes of this man had not gone unanswered, no, they would be capitalized and therefore punished. Before he could even land-let alone assess the situation at hand- three more thrust collowed his path of likely travel and connected with his torso, rendering him incapacitated if not dead.

Damn he muttered to himself he felt the girl pick him up. then he fell unconscious

[Natsuhi]

Natsu's senses and spear came to a idle calm as the man fell haplessly. His wounds unleashed a seemingly endless flow of red, decorative paint, he was bleeding out. But it was nothing some simple first aid could stop, however, it would take medical work if the man were to live. Some minutes still clung to what little life remained, she had to work fast. With a single arm and lift, she uplifted the man upon her shoulders and sped back to her home, Iwagakure. If the man still remained conscious he could only have blamed himself, since at first glance it appeared as though Natsu was one to attack passing entities, but such was not the case. She was merely one who held a strong resolve towards their village fought to protect her it and its country.

"Hnngh, damnit men are so heeeavvy! I swear if I don't get a reward I'll be pissed!"
