Standing in the heart of the insolvent city once more, the Uchiha looked upon his opponent. The sun still promptly crutched deeply into the heavens, this beauteous weather would usher in yet another array of slaughter. Hopefully, like the last, this dispute would end with absolute zero crimson flooding the city’s broken streets. His opponent almost exactly as far from him as his first, Ryūsuke did little to hide his armor inserts, though favored not wearing the mask as much. It was time, his body tensed and prepared to react on whim, and he awaited his opponent to respond.

I had made it to the second round because of having a first round bye, now I was standing thirty meters away from my opponent. He looked as if he was a hardened warrior, but I also had a few years of experience under my belt. There was no need for me to wish him any luck, or to even say anything at all. Onyx eyes observed him, the Uchiha, he was wearing armor which would prove to be quite annoying if I ever attempted to slice him up. I checked to see if I had all my weapons and items on my person before the match itself began.

Good luck bby.[/spolier]

[Trigga]

Good luck, friend, it didn’t need to be announced; a silent show of sportsmanship was just as respectable. Immediately, did Ryūsuke rush forward in a frontal sprint. His right hand reaching to his side to take hold of a tailored kunai—complete with decorative parchments. Though quite indiscernible from their range, he held it close to his chest as he rushed to breach the ten meter threshold, though in continuance if he did so without dispute. The battle would now begin.

[spade]

I was looking forward to this fight, one that would surely test my abilities of being a ninja. As he began to run towards me I awakened my Sharingan, my normally onyx colored eyes now a swirling crimson color. The area around me was much clearer, as were my opponents intentions. I would mirror his movements, withdrawing a ivory kunai of my own, ready to hit my opponent with a bang. I broke into a frontal sprint, restricting my movements in case I needed to react I would be able to do so.

Fully Activated Sharingan: Three Tomoe 2x low chakra drain.

Interesting, The Uchiha thought to himself as the onyx features of his opponents eyes shifted to a deadly crimson. Fighting one who held from his own clan made this that much more electrifying, and as a result, forced the Anbu operative to a complete stop, just as he hit the ten meter verge. Protected and astute, he knew both the weaknesses and advantages of his own clan’s inheritance. As a direct result he braced himself for impact as his opponent charged into the same direction. Prepared to enter into combat or to elude is viable, he would stalk every movement; his eyes refusing to evolve for the time being.

Same as before

[spade]

My eyes never let me down... and I needed them to aid me in this battle. Completely fixated on my opponent's silhouette I continued to move until my eyes noticed he was about to come to a complete stop, my arm immediately shot forward before he stopped and the ivory kunai I previously held came rocketing outward towards the man, in an attempt to catch him in the throat. Concurrently I also stopped my movement, placing me ten meters away from the man. I wanted to test his reaction time, seeing if he would be able to dodge a kunai after stopping his momentum from rushing so fast towards me, I however doubted he was that skilled. Nimble fingers came together, awaiting his reaction would they finish their job.

Sharingan Stage Three — 4x low altogether.

[Trigga]

Ryūsuke, while a victim of the Sharingan’s predictive abnormalities, feared nothing as he spaced himself out enough to execute an evasion. Everything was frontal and concealed beneath nothing (obvious considering the Sharingan needed perfect clarity to induce its might), however that gave way to windows of opportunity. Commencing his stop had ushered in the release of the projectile his opposition held. Still within his momentum, would the Uchiha turn into a left pivot, his body immediately shooting towards its left verge in a burst of elevated speed. While its mystique came with some distraction, Ryūsuke didn’t require such, just a means to get out of range of impact and dually draw forth an item from his arsenal concomitantly as he moved. 6 meters to his left from his original position, now just barely away from one of the buildings, he never allowed his eyes to leave the man. And upon recognition of seals, he braced himself for the evitable.

1. Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique)
Rank: D
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Low
Shunshin no Jutsu is a basic ninjutsu technique used across the shinobi world by all, ranging from the most basic shinobi to the legends of lore. Considered is a high-speed movement technique - to an observer caught in the optical illusion, it appears as if the user has teleported. This allows the user to escape or attack suddenly, should they need to. However, while a high-speed movement, if used in broad daylight, one will still be quite visible and as such, easier to be defended against. In order to achieve maximum effect, the user must to combine it with a distraction.

Note: Despite popular belief, this is not an ability that allows an individual to teleport, or even move incomprehensibly fast. It simply combines high mobility with some disruption of visibility to conceal those movements. That in mind, if you can conceal your movement, it is common for this technique to allow very long-distance dashes before enemies may notice you.

Everything went according to plan, the way he reacted was the exact way I wanted him to do so. The moment he left his current position my hand seals were already finished, and with the perceptive abilities the sharingan possessed I was able to perfectly choose the location where I would launch my technique. Shunshin was merely a high speed movement, and seeing as how we were in broad daylight I would be able to read his movements even without the sharingan.

Upon landing six meters away his body would be met with a ferocious sea of flames, forcefully moving forward attempting to cover his entire body in the magma-like fire. The technique itself was ten meters wide, and ten meters high, but it went onward for the rest of the turn. He would never get the chance to brace himself for the technique because he never seen the handseals coming.

Nimble fingers came together, awaiting his reaction would they finish their job.

Thus, the moment he began his Shunshin my technique was complete, and upon him finishing his Shunshin the sea of flames was crashing towards him, easily covering the distance and most likely would sear the mans flesh from his bones. I'd continue to force out more flames from my mouth as they covered more of the area, giving him less chance to escape. However, my eyes kept focused on his chakra, which would be the indicator whether he moved or not.

The Shunshin occurred the moment you released the Kunai, while it doesn’t host its teleportation effect given it was used in open daylight, it’s still a High-speed movement. By time he would have emerged from it, only covering roughly half technique’s maximum range, you’d have possibly finished your seals, commenced your technique—it wouldn’t have been there before he resurfaced. You could track it, but timing measured, it wouldn’t have beaten me to the punch.

This kid was persistent, the Uchiha thought as he exited from his high-speed transition, only to find himself faced with an impending sea of summer hues. Needless to say, considering his previous burst paralleled with the release of the Kunai, he had just enough time to continue in his spree of momentum-driven defenses. Having arrived at the face of the building, only to have his break interrupted, he continued onward, stepping upon the wall as chakra guided him upwards¹, yet again into another rupture of speed². The previously used technique used immediately following a more rudimentary practice. It would be close, but considering the margin of timing, it was within his right.

immediately moving up the six meter tall edifice with the aid of another Shunshin, he found himself still continuing in his run along the rooftop, motioning swiftly towards its rear in attempts to flee the flames as it continued to rid the field of its existence. It was scarce and almost too perilous, though he didn’t jump, yet simply allowed himself to freefall down the back side, landing promptly on the ground and directly out of harm’s way.

While marginal, Ryūsuke relaxed behind the building for a moment; obscured from sight and more importantly, the Sharingan. Whoever this kid was, he had some skill, but he relied too heavily on a tool that gave the untried conceit.

Chakra Expended: Low ³

1.Kinobori no Waza (Act of Tree Climbing)
Rank: E
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra: Low, Low (upkeep)
Kinobori no Waza is an Academy Ninjtusu technique. By focusing a small amount of chakra to the bottom of their feet, the user can climb a tree (or other vertical wall) without utilizing their hands. This technique has a dual purpose, since it is the perfect way to increase skills with chakra control - if the stream of chakra is too weak, the user will loose their footing; if the stream is too strong, the user will be pushed away from the surface.

2. Shunshin no jutsu

[spade]

I had wasted a fair amount of chakra, and with my opponent currently out of sight I deactivated my sharingan for the time being. I climbed up the wall that he climbed earlier, and landed atop of the roof. If he didn't want to fight with tricks then I'd give him an all out hand to hand fight. It was obvious that my ninjutsu wasn't going to work if all he kept on doing was dodging them left and right. I would eventually run out of chakra and give him the advantage. I surveyed my surroundings intently, I didn't want to get attacked from the back.

[Trigga]

With the disruption subsiding (the instant you canceled your fire), did the Uchiha's hands come together to form a single seal¹. He needed leverage in this affair and while his opponent had expended quite the mass of chakra, assumptions alone couldn't vindicate the boy's remaining reserves. Immediately following did his hands reach down to pick up the two items of interest as he stood erect subsequently. While behind the wall, there wasn't much for sensory particularization he could depict; some buildings with some windows and some items that could be used for various things, this battle wouldn't be won from his current position. And that's when heheard him. Thumps echoed across the silent air and soon Ryûsuke knew he being followed. With one well-aimed and strength-regulated toss, the Anbu Operative tossed the spherical object held within his left hand up towards the rooftop, where it wouldn't have much time to roll before detonating. Meanwhile and concurrently, did his avenger ready himself.

I didn't feel good here, so out in the open like this. I turned around and began to run in the opposite direction (the way I came from). Jumping from the rooftop I heard a ear shattering noise behind me the moment I hit the air, I dropped onto the side of the building and scaled it down before I was on the ground below. I was on the other side of the building, opposite to where Ryu was hiding himself. I walked forward ten meters, looking towards the building (the one that you're currently hiding behind). Now I stood in the center where I began, clear view of everything around me. I wasn't going to follow the man anymore, who knew what he was planning...

And with that, would the Avenger Ryûsuke beckoned in secrecy would end this dispute. Summoned on opposing side of the building, intended to initiate a Sneak attack from the boy's blind-spot, it seemed the Shadow Clone, wouldn't have had to stalk his foe. His right hand clenching an identical Kunai to his master's, he looked up as the explosion of light signaled his assault. Nonetheless, it wouldn't be used in close quarters as the younger Uchiha leaped from the rooftop. In pure spontaneous measure, did the clone launch the Kunai, attempting to impale the boy in his unarmored chest as he fell from the sky. Changing position in midair, and more inconveniently, off guard, would be quite the feat for the boy. Nonetheless, the Clone was sure his Kunai would hit. Nonetheless, he was no fool and braced himself as his weapon fell towards the free-falling boy. The real Uchiha however, would make swift haste to flank around the building, cutting through alley that was on his left as he attempted to position himself secretly as his creation handled the boy directly.
