Yakate's Training area

Kaoru? What was she doing here? Yakate was about to leave...

A friend of yours?

"More of an acquiantance. But..."

Oh, rawr, go Yakate.

"Shut up!"

...

"You were here? And I didn't notice you? I need to train more...
And thank you."

At least he had some company now, it was getting lonely...

I was there for you, kid.

"Um... You're not a girl..."

Hmph. Sexist.

"So I figured.... How about a fight to see who can control their bijuu the best?" she smiled and got into a defensive stance. "How about it, Kazetori?" she closed her eyes.

It's about time that you decided to fight again, I was getting bored...

Fight, fight, fight!

Fight against Kaoru? Why... he wasn't that ready yet. But why deny a fight from a girl? Sighing, he said,

"Sure, but... I'm not sure I'l win. I'l try though." Faking a smile, he started making hand-signs in preparation for a jutsu.

Kazetori. She's also a jinchuuriki. Who knows, I might get to like her...

"Ready, Kazetori?"

I'm always ready, kid....

"Fine... let's show him what we got!" she focused her chakra and got surrounded by Kazetori's own chakra. "Kazetori: Released form!"

"I'm not going to use Tsumetai... yet."

Sighing, Yakate finished his handsigns, and shouted "Darkness style: Shuriken shot!" The moment after he uttered those words, 8 corrosive shuriken appeared in fron of him, and, through his will, all went flying with perfect aim towards Kaoru...

But then he remembered something very disturbing. He just finished training, he didn't think about conserving his chakra reserves or healing himself from the massive training regime. Looks like this would be a pretty one-sided spar, now that Kaoru was using her bijuu powers...

Name: Darkness Style: Shuriken Shot
Rank: Rank E
Type: Supplementary, Attack, Ninjutsu
Range: Personal
Description: This jutsu creates two shurikens that shoot at the enemy, a small corrosive effect adding to the Weapon
AS:4 Shuriken
Genin: 8 Shuriken

"Aww... If you're not going to use your bijuu, then I won't use him either...." she gave back Kazetori's chakra and held the handles of her swords.

You're no fun, kid... But hey, fair is fair...

"Yep..." she watched the shuriken and before they hit her, she drew both of her swords and slashed each one of them in a graceful and flowing manner. The shuriken fell on the ground and she avoided the attack.

Use me already! You have two elements at your disposal...

"Maybe, but not yet." Smirking slightly, Yakate jumped off into the shadow of an ice spire, and started regenerating his chakra. But, out of his own conscience, the ice spire broke in half, and the upper part of it went flying at Kaoru.

"I said NO!"

I'm helping you, fool!

"Far fights... gah."

"Oh, resorting to using your bijuu already? Heh..." she performed a few hand signs and bit her thumb, smearing her blood across the blade. "Kamaitachi... Sickle Wind!" she slashed the air and a gust of wind came flying towards Yakate.

Name: Kamaitachi: Small Sickle Wind
Rank: D
Type: Offensive Ninjutsu
Element: Wind
Range: Long Range(0-50m)
Description: The user calls forth the chakra of the wind weasel Kamaitachi and uses its chakra to send a small gust flying towards the opponent. The winds are sent so fast that they actually cut.

The ice spire and wind collide, exploding in a poof of ice shards and smoke. But now Yakate could use his chakra freely again, even though he still wasn't sure that he could win that battle. Then again...

"Complete manipulation of ice?"

You got it.

...? Well...

... Yakate looked at a single spire of us sticking out of the ground. He tried fusing his chakra with Tsumetai's, when... there? He pulled the spire out of the ground, and launched it at Kaoru again.

"I'm still gettting used to this..."

I can do anything with ice. Let your imaginations soar."

She snickered and shook her head. "Using the same attacks over and over again don't help that much, Spy-kun..." she jumped up and bit her thumb once more, getting more blood on the sword. "Kamaitachi: Wind Slash!" she perfromed a few more hand signs and slashed the air. "Sickle Wind!" a faster gust went flying towards the ice spire and at Yakate.

Name: Kamaitachi: Wind Slash
Rank:D
Type: Supplementary Kenjutsu
Element: Wind
Range: Short Range(0-3m)
Description: The user calls forth the chakra of the wind weasel Kamaitachi to enhance their weapon with wind properties. This increases the speed and sharpness of the weapon and it also decreases the weight.

Name: Kamaitachi: Small Sickle Wind
Rank: D
Type: Offensive Ninjutsu
Element: Wind
Range: Long Range(0-50m)
Description: The user calls forth the chakra of the wind weasel Kamaitachi and uses its chakra to send a small gust flying towards the opponent. The winds are sent so fast that they actually cut.

She's right, you know.

Sighing again, Yakate jumped sideways to dodge the attack, and ironically, the wind was just strong enough to refresh him a bit. Making a few more hand-signs, he clutched to the shadows like a physical object, and from it, pulled out a huge whip, 3 meters long, and lashed it out. Some might say a whip is used for torture, and he didn't mean to torture anyone with it. But it was still pretty effective.

But he could combine this with his newfound ice. He whipped at the ground right in front of him, and made a jet of icy spikes shoot towards Koaru. Fast and efficient~

Now you're using your imagination. I like it...

"I like how you think.... but...." she smirked and closed her eyes. "Ready, Kazetori?"

Finally....

"Sorry to keep you waiting..." she got surrounded in grayish chakra and she dodged each ice spike with ease, thanks to Kazetori's added evasion.

You want to fuse your chakra with mine yet?

"I don't know how... but this is good enough."

Jumping into the air, Yakate made a full 360 degree turn, holding out his whip in front of him, and made a who,e circle of ice spin out from him, in a slowly enlarging circle, only part of it going to hit Kaoru. Landing on the ground again, Yakate stood waiting with his whip, ready to block any attack possible, if the ice circle didn't hit her...

"Heh.... YNice move...." she closed her eyes and started falling down to the ground head first, dodgeing the ice circle. Then she opened her eyes and glided safely down. "Now.... let's go..." she ran towards Yakate, leaving a blurry trail behind to disorient him.

(Unleashed Bijuu Form)

The host's face will resemble that of a falcon slightly.He will be able to use the Bijuu's chakra source as his own.The chakra will be able to to make the host glide a bit so falling from a certain height wont effect him as much.Also when the user is running he will become blurry in the face of an opponents eyes as it will seem like hes getting further and further away.

Yakate stared at her train, confused, what could he do now? But then he remembered something from this manga he read...

He thrust his foot down on the ground jerkily, and put his arms together as if releasing a beam from them, and thrusted them forward as well. Then, form about 1 feet in front of him, a jagged spire of ice rose, sharp enough to pierce through skin, hoping that Kaoru's speed and his accidental early timing would mean the attack made contact.

Nice. I would clap for you, if I had hands.

"Use mine..? We're the same body, remember?"

Sure, if you wanna look even more stupid.

Right after performing the attack, jsut like his word, he clapped once on behalf of Tsumetai. Of course he looked stupid, but that was sentimentally, very valuable. Maybe.

Kaoru gasped and she successfully stopped an inch before she was hit by the spire. ".... Wow...." she drew her two swords and kept charging yakate. She performed a few hand signs "Bunshin no Jutsu!" she made two clones and then lunged at him, attempting to do a cross slash.

So vulnerable... let me take care of this.

Before he knew it, his whole body began to shimmer in blue chakra, as her grew bear-like claws and a short tail. Right before Kaoru reached him, he, or rather, his body, thrust his fist at her, making a giant lance of ice erupt out of it, and pierce through her. Even though the blades made contact with his hands, he ignored the pain, and pierced the whole lance through her body... and even if the person he hit was a clone, Tsumetai made the lance explode into billions of shards of ice, and manipulated them to equally shoot at the other two...

The clone disappeared and she saw the ice shards. "Huh? He's trying to kill me already?" she got into an offensive position and then slashed rapidly around her. "Gust Slasher!" she became surrounded by sharp gusts, hoping to destroy the ice shards.

Name: Gust Slasher
Rank: D
Type: Offensive Kenjutsu
Element: Wind
Range: Long Range(0-30m)
Description: The user calls upon the power of the three tailed bijuu, Kazetori. Then, the user draws their weapons and performs rapid slashes around them, surrounding them with a field of gusts that cut. This also damages the user and the larger the area covered, the more chakra needed.

Damn Kazetori.

All the ice shards drop on the ground. But...

This time, Tsumetai (Yakate) jumped over Kaoru, abusing the fact that she was stuck on the ground due to her jutsu. WHen he was right on top of her, he thrust his arms out at Kaoru,, in that beam-like stance again, only this time, a whole dome of ice emerged out of his arms and surrounded Kaoru.

Lack of oxygen. Lets see you crack through that.

As he landed on the ground, Tsumetai kept reinforcing his dome with more and more ice, over and over again, although he was running out of chakra, the barrier was 10 times thick with ice now... lack of oxygen is a harsh death...

"D-Damn it...." Kaoru tried to breathe in air but she was trapped.

Come on, kid! You can break out of this!

"I... don't think I can... anymore.... but I'll try!" she focused her chakra and spun rapidly while slashing the air. "Gust Slasher!" the gusts started to fill the room, cracking the ice due to pressure and cutting her as well. "If this dome bursts because of too much pressure... heh..."

Range: Long Range(0-30m)
Description: The user calls upon the power of the three tailed bijuu, Kazetori. Then, the user draws their weapons and performs rapid slashes around them, surrounding them with a field of gusts that cut. This also damages the user and the larger the area covered, the more chakra needed.

Not good enough. Too many layers...

Even though part of the inner ice cracked, the outer ice layers remained intact. And Ysumetai was still using his chakra to reinforce the layers time and time again... even thouhg, in this body, he couldn't do much.

"Heh... still persistent as ever..... Kazetori?" she closed her eyes as she kept filling the dome with air.

What is it?

"Lend me some more of your chakra..... please.... I know my body might collapse and take some time to recover but... it's worth it...." she sighed.

........ Fine.....

She drew up more of his chakra and stopped her attack. "Now.... to use all of my chakra and stamina left at my disposal..... three jutsus at once!" she performed a lot of hand signs, she was running out of oxygen. "Kamaitachi: Wind Slash... Kazetori: Gust Slasher..... Kamaitachi..." she put some blood on her blade and slashed the air. "Sickle Wind!" as she slashed the air, several gusts came out, faster ans sharper than usual, and it kept cracking the ice and filling the room. "It isn't working.... I need... to try... again!" she slashed and kept making more gusts, knowing that she is getting damaged as well.

Damn...

Stopping the constant reinforcing, Tsumetai left the dome, knowing that even Kazetori woudl take at least 5 minutes to break through it.

I could use the boy's chakra... shadow? Perfect...

He walked into a shadow, and just sat there for a few moments, slowly regenerating his chakra...

"This is pointless.... That's it... I have to get in that gust.... and slash the dome so it would break easily...." she sighed and then closed her eyes. "Here I go.... Kazetori..." she charged into the gust, getting cuts in all places but not that severe because of Kazetori's chakra. She kept slashing the ice dome, releasing gists with it and the side burst open due to the extreme pressure build up, creating a huge cloud of smoke and ice shards.

Still chargng up, Tsumetai waited until Kaoru got out of the dome. Sighing again, he thrust a fist to the ground, making four different spires rise up from four sides, around Kaoru, all slanted towards her direction, intended to pierce her while raiding from the ground...
