Ion vs. Jyu !

• 30 meters apart
  
• no attacking on first post

A measure of space held back the tension this oncoming fight ensued. Ei returned the opposing glare to his front; not that he’d seen anything of true significance but because he wanted the opponent to know he was ready. A subtle wind would stir passed the proctors figure just before the start of the match.

Alas my longing for the proper challenge would be relinquished here at this very moment. The source of this relief stood thirty meters before me. A breeze would make my bleach white hair dance a jig, and I would brush aside the strands of which would prevent my clear view of my opponent, and the assortment of logs and large rocks before him. I would have nothing to say to this man, for his radiant seriousness would reach and affect me aswell, holding back my bombastic tounge. I knew that I would have to keep my wits about me to overcome this fellow.

The proctor yielded no sign – no sort of signal which started the round. All he retorted was “go..”. Ei would take this word to heart – running straight ahead towards his opponent at full speed. With his left hand a couple of seals would manifest quickly, ending in sequence in only a second just as he departed before the proctors words. His right, on the other hand, deemed more useful than the left . . performing two feats instantaneously. The first feat would be the flick of his wrist – sending a tagged kunai into the air, projecting its trajectory right behind his opponent. Just after this miniscule movement, proving only half the second Ei had taken, he would have stalled his arm, bringing forth a surplus of chakra, for the second feature of this fool-proof tactic.¹

You never specified how far you had ran, so I will put you at around, oh say, 24 meters away

The man before me would waste not a second in his offense. As soon as the proctor gave us the ok, he had flung a kunai, and had made his way towards me. In an effort to ward off the metallic death, I would preform two handseals and raise my left hand to send a burst of Fuuton chakra out to send the kunai heading right back to my opponent as soon as it came within my burst's range.

Immeadiately after this, I delved my left hand into the pocket containing my coveted clay. There my hand-mouth was free to feast on the blobs and in a second and a half of feeding, ten spine-tailed swift replica's made purely of clay would form. These buggers, bearing a discreet resemblence to their natural counterpart, also shared the real deal's incredible speed. They could move at about 4.5 meters per second. Upon their creation, 5 would stay behind with me, while the other 5 flew in a triangular formation aimed at my opponent who would just now finish whatever technique he was using.

Apparently the tactic of a kusa shinobi proved intelligent when facing a shinobi of lesser caliber. True – the tagged kunai played a part in the role Ei had been forced to project – but to the opponent who watched him. . what motive could he have for sending a tagged kunai so effortlessly into the air? Simple, a Distraction. Seeing as how the kunai that was flung straight into the air at an arc in order to project its landing point behind his opponent in only half a second whilst his opponent took two (since you didn’t describe) to conjure his defense against this scapegoat.

Ei’s plan would have gone together just as planned. Jyu’s frontal focus would have taken a second to pinpoint directly upon the kunai Ei had sent over the shinobi’s head. The kazekaeshi Ei’s opponent had sent in correspondence required him to focus in on the projectile headed towards him. . wafting his hand in front of him to bring forth the mighty wind to halt the attack. All these miniscule milliseconds would become advantageous to the kusa shinobi who’s right arm would seal together the final blow.

(You didn’t specify how far the kunai had gone – only me.)

Ion would only have made it six meters as his opponent summoned forth the mighty wind to counter the kunai which had already distanced itself between the opponent 10 meters ahead. What Ei’s opponent failed to realize was the secondary form of action which had taken place just as the kunai released from his fingertips, the projectiles traveling twice-fold that of his first projectile.

Just after this miniscule movement, proving only half the second Ei had taken, he would have stalled his arm, bringing forth a surplus of chakra, for the second feature of this fool-proof tactic.¹

The chakra that had manifested in his arm for this half a second just as the kunai slipped from his grip a surplus of ‘5’ shuriken, crystallized in form, would take form instantaneously and make way towards Ei’s opponent, who’s eyes would have become fixated on the kunai trailing over his head causing him to direct his attention away from the center of the battlefield. Because of the angle the kunai had been sent, in an arc over his opponents head, Jyu would have some time overcoming the second obstacle.

If all five were to hit his torso, as they were aimed, this would be a sudden death but just incase his opponent had a counter for that as well Ion’s left hand would once more curl into the zodiac sign he so chose for this opposition¹ whilst he kept his trek towards his opponent. (Since Ei was 24 meters away according to your post, it should be 18 meters away by the time you post, 6 meters per post).

With my gale forces succesfully deflecting the kunai, my left hand-mouth would dive back into my pocket to succesfully feast on a single glob of clay to conjure up a swarm of ten creations, my eyes would return to my opponent only to find another relentless barrage of attacks heading my way. With split-second timing, I was able to evade the attack by rolling 1 meter to my left. Barely evading the assualt, evident by the gash I received from one of the shuriken, I would now launch a counter attack.

Immeadiately after rolling, I would stand to my feet and run four meters in 45 degree angel to the left. By the time I finished this length, my hand-mouths would finally be done preparing the clay, and ten birds closely resembling the spine-tailed swift would form. Traveling at a remarkable speed of 4.7 meters per second 5 of them would make their approach towards my opponent in a triangular fashion, the remaining staying with me for further instruction.

Time was of the essence in this battle, and as I eyed down my opponent while continuing to travel straightahead, I would notice his left hand just complete some sort of seal for another attack. My birds would now be only about 9 meters away from my opponent, and should he not find a way to flee the birds, I would detonate them in their entirety.

Honestly, this was a kind of lazy response, at first I was considering just forefieting and focusing on Kage stuff, but instead I mustered up this post. If you don't think dodging is plausible I'll go with what you have to say.
