Thread: [Sugo & Razz]

Itachi watched on from the point he stood at, looking out over the two as they preformed their dance of combat, Kisame a uncontrolled beast swinging wildly at a girl whose capabilities he had no idea, and the girl dodged and rolled like a genin. If that was because she was no match for Kisame, or simply that she was very worn down from travel, Itachi didn't know, all he could do was make accurate observations. He activated his sharingan having a look out over the two, Kisame's chakra a monsterous force as always, Ino's weak, wavering, she was clearly in need of some form of rest. She then seemed to be forming handsigns, and Itachi let out a slight chuckle when he saw what she did. He knew what it was the second that she formed the hand signs, it was after all - a Konoha Jutsu. Kisame's blade stopped dead and the girl dropped to the floor her lip lifeless body laying in the rain as her hood fell down revealing the long blonde hair, pale skin and closed eyes. She seemed peaceful as if she was asleep. Kisame charged Itachi and Itachi didn't even flinch, didn't even move a muscle as the blade cut through air and a flurry of crows flew off into the distance. Before he'd jumped down into the road after Kisame's foolhardy attack Itachi had formed himself one of his infamous crow clones, sending it down in lieu of himself as he moved into a position further down the road while the two where in combat. Itachi wouldn't have been so foolish as to put himself into the line of fire of an enemy who he didn't know, didn't know what they where capable of, especially in a situation where he could send a clone in its place. That was Kisame's forte, not his. The crows cawed and with a flutter of their wings they where all gone into the dark raining sky, the pitter patterr of rain the only noise audible to all in the area as the mind controlled Kisame stood, and Ino's body still lay limp. Itachi dropped silent from the tree behind the controlled Kisame and next to the limp body of the woman they'd attacked. Not a sound came from Itachi as he landed gracefully. He leaned down, checking the head band on the ninja, unsurprisingly - Konoha. He then gripped the collar of the limp body and lifted it up in front of him looking over towards the back of the mind controlled Kisame, who seemed a little bit more frantic after he, or she even had realized Itachi had duped them. This body, is the one that belongs to you. Itachi said his voice soft, but emotionless never the less as he held up Ino's lifeless body, the weight of it nothing significant and he held it there with ease. Return to it, or I will make you return to it. Itachi said with a slight hint of annoyance, not annoyance at Ino, more at Kisame for putting them in a position where Ino was even able to gain any ground. Itachi was fairly confident of his position in this small skirmish, he held all the cards as far as he was concerned. He knew the mind transfer jutsu, it was a powerful jutsu but it came with one glaring huge draw back and was the very reason why it was to be used with a team and not on your own - your body would go completely limp, as this woman's had. This left the user very vulnerable, even against a weaker opponent Itachi would have never been able to get a ninja's body in such a weak position, holding it off the ground like he owned it. She'd made one significant mistake, she'd come on her own, had she had her team this would have been another story, it would be Itachi vs her team and Kisame - a fight Itachi might actually struggle with. This however, was childs play, it was check mate even if she didn't know it, Kisame could never beat Itachi and Itachi was ruthless if he needed to he would engulf Kisame in black flame to make him stop his attacks, the woman was low on chakra, and Kisame was the beast without a tail it would be mere moments before Kisame broke out on his own.
