Chuunin Match Seven: Akiyo vs. Kazu
LightFang: -After watching a few more bouts be handled by exceptional Genin Akiyo would finally hear his name again called by the Proctor of the exams. However what followed would make his eyes widen. "Akiyo Yuki vs..... Kazu Hozuki." That name, Akiyo knew that name. In fact he knew it well. Kazu Hozuki was the other member of his team that had made it to the Chuunin exams along side him. Training in the same squad as him as long as he had gave him better knowledge of his skill set than any other shinobi in these exams. However, that meant he also knew Akiyo's skills. Luckily there were a few thing Akiyo had trained in secrecy. Though that could mean there may be things Kazu was hiding from him as well. Akiyo knew he would have to be on his toes for this fight, but it seemed like he was thinking that way for every fight he was being paired to. Part of him was wishing that it didn't have to be this way, team mates shouldn't hafta fight. In the end, though, Akiyo knew it had to be done if he ever wanted to see Chunin. These things would be clouding his mind as he made his way toward the centre of the arena. All the familiar sights and sounds that he could remember from his previous fight. Suddenly Akiyo would hear one of the Genin from the stands shout out to him. "AKIYO YUKI!! YOU BETTER WIN THIS!!!!" It was Akatori Yamanaka, the girl he fought in the previous round. Hearing this would snap Akiyo out of his clouded state of mind. His mind would then focus on the matter at hand. No matter what he had to beat his team mate here and now. Quickly he would check over his inventory: 5 kunai, 20 senbon, 4 sets of makibishi spikes, 4 paper bombs, and of course his katana. After that he would focus on the chakra he was using to keep himself standing atop the water. Sensing his own chakra flow Akiyo would subtly bite his lower lip and think to himself, 'Damn it, I'm still only at about half of my chakra strength. After this I'm probably gonna be drained. Better try to conserve as much as I can. Akiyo would then take his fighting stance with one hand resting on the hilt of his sword and the other held out loosely. Ken'ichi, the exam proctor, would ask if the two were ready and if either would like to back down. Naturally Akiyo would respond, "I'm ready, and Kazu... You better be too."-
Necrose: -Kazu sat in the stand his arms folded across his chest his head leaned backwards, eyes closed mouth open with drool running down the side. Kazu had fallen asleep in the stands watch the other fights as he waited for his own. Kazu quickly awoke when he heard his name called for the next fight and tried to jump to his feet but failed tumbling down the stands, as he hit the bottom of the stands he stood up and dusted him self off trying to play it cool hoping no one had seen that. He pushed his feet off the ground and jumped into the water down in front of the stands and stood across from his foe who he had noticed to be his team mate, not hearing the other name called cause he was asleep Kazu was shocked to see Akiyo standing there. Kazu remembered the foolish fight they had for leadership of the team back at the start of his days as a Genin, he shook his head and mumbled to himself, "Not this time..." Kazu stood about 5 feet tall give or take a few inches he had long white hair his the back of it tied back with a piece of fabric his bangs hanging over his eyes, a bandaged up torso but not from injury, deep purple eyes, tan skin, mist camo'ed shinobi pants with bandages wrapped around each leg and on top of the bandages sat shuriken pouches, on his left hip sat two water bottles connected to a belt that allowed them to move freely as he did and on the water bottles lids were straws that if pulled up allowed the flow of water out of them but if pushed down stopped the flow of water, on his arms and legs were signature warms from the village he lived in made of a light blue fabric with darker blue pin stripes going down them and under the arm warmer wrapped around his forearms were steel plated gauntlets that could be used to deflect blades or any other ninja tool thrusted at them, on his feet were blue shinobi sandals, a stick poked out of his mouth and a lump on his right cheek from the lollipop he had in his mouth, and on the top of his pants sitting on his lower back were two black shinobi pouches that held ten kunai, eight shurkin, three paper bombs, two smoke bombs, and laying across his back was a katana the hilt of the blade poking out over his right shoulder. Kazu heard words that came for the proctors mouth and nodded then looked at his team mate as he spoke to him and replied, "I am more then ready, and this fight will be different from the last" Kazu quickly moved his right hand to the hilt of his sword grasping on to it and placed his left hand in a blocking position in front of him waiting for the fight to begin.-
LightFang: -Akiyo would take in the words Kazu spoke listening about how this time it will be different. This would bring back the memories of their first fight, the one for leadership of the squad. Akiyo recalled clearly the way Kazu was dispatched from that fight. It had been the third member of the team that took him out, Katsuro Uchiha. He did it using a paper bomb no less. Akiyo would grin when he heard Kazu say this time will be different, to which he replied, "Your right, this time I'll be the one to take you out, not Katsu." Keeping a smug aura about himself Akiyo would keep talking as if to get a few formalities out of the way before fighting. "By the way Kazu, how bout for old times sake we keep this a non flashy fight. Ya know to reminisce on the first fight we had, when neither of us could barely use any jutsu." Shruging his shoulders Akiyo would keep on with saying, "What I'm saying is how bout neither of us use any Ninjutsu or Genjutsu abilities. Only Taijutsu Kenjutsu and Shurikenjutsu, ya know give these people a real show." Akiyo's hands again would lower to a fighting stance. His left on the katana hilt and the right out stretched loosely toward Kazu. Suddenly Akiyo would take off sprinting toward Kazu. He would close the gap of 10 feet in a matter of seconds as he pulled his right hand back into a fist. "WADDA YA SAY TEAMMATE!" Akiyo would shout as he let his right fist fly out toward Kazu. He would aim directly for the lump on Kazu's right cheek. Akiyo would be attempting to deliver a powerful right hook at full sprint to the right cheek of Kazu. If this punch should hit the lump it would have enough force to shatter the lollipop in Kazu's mouth and bruise his jaw along with it. It also would have the strength and speed to forcibly move Kazu's head and knock him back a few steps if not put him on the floor.-

It also would have the strength and speed to forcibly move Kazu's head and knock him back a few steps if not put him on the floor.-
Necrose: -Kazu stood there in his defensive stance listening to his team mate a grin coming to his face at the words coming from his mouth," At least this time I didn't forget my tools at home." Kazu let out a light chuckle and listen to the rest of what his team mate had to say and replied. "I accept your challenge of a no ninjutsu fight!" Kazu noticed that Akiyo had taken off sprinting towards him after uttering his words, Kaze placed his arms in front of his body in an X like shape right at his chest preparing to defend an attack. As Akiyo got close to him and Kazu saw him bring his fist back as to attack Kazu jumped into the air as Akiyo lunged his fist forward, while in the air Kazu lifted his foot coming over his head and swung it downwards at the top of Akiyo's head with a good amount of force, if the back of Kazu's heel were to hit it would push Akiyo down causing his to fall and possibly dazing him for a bit so Kazu could try and take him out quickly. As Kazu's leg was coming down towards Akiyo's head he brung his hand to the hilf og his sword grasping onto it so that he could quickly draw it and use it to defend himself if Akiyo did escape the attack and tried to counter.-
LightFang: -Letting his punch go with full force Akiyo would continue to grin hearing that Kazu had accepted the terms he had layed out there. He knew that Kazu agreeing to these terms would definately save his chakra up for the final round, should he get that far. However he also knew that this also meant the danger of physical injury was much more significant. While still following through with his punch he would be a bit amazed that Kazu had managed to jump out of the way by jumping. He was pretty quick on his feet, but he expected no less from his team mate. However as Akiyo was following through something would catch his eye. Akiyo would notice the sunlight had been obstructed suddenly as if something had moved over him. This would cause Akiyo to turn quickly to his right using his exceptional speed, spinning over backwards to face above him. As he was turning Akiyo would draw his blad from the sheath about halfway holding it upside down in his left hand. Just as he thought, he saw Kazu was there preparing to drop his heel on Akiyo. As soon as he got the glimmer of this Akiyo would pull his sword completely from its sheath and swing to attempt and slice ot the back of Kazu's ankle and hold his sword ther firmly to block the incoming kick. If Akiyo's suspicions were correct then this would give Kazu little in the way of dodging this attack. The slice it self would have enough force in it to cut deep into the ankle and even sever the Posterior Talofibular Ligament. This ligament is one that runs along the full length of the back side of the ankle and severing this would make it to where someone could no longer walk or even put weight on that leg without reattachment surgery. This would be a moment of quick thinking for Akiyo that could very well shorten this match and that was all Akiyo could hope for.-
Necrose: -As Kazu's heel was coming down for Akiyo's head Kazu noticed that Akiyo was turning his body around and had drawn his sword from it's sheath Kazu knew that Akiyo intending to slice through his either his leg or his ankle since he knew Akiyo would do whatever it took to win even badly injuring his own team mate. As Akiyo swung his blade towards Kazu's ankle Kazu bent the knee of the leg that was coming down for Akiyo's head and lifted the leg upwards a bit retracting it towards himself in an attempt to pull it out of the path of Akiyo's blade, Kazu then took bent the knee of his other leg also and extended it out with force aim for the hand that held the hilt of Akiyo's sword hoping to make contact with the hand either knocking the blade out of Akiyo's hand or changing the path of the sword. While swinging his leg Kazu used the hand that was not gripping his katana's hilt and reached into the ninja pouch behind his back pulling out two kunai and quickly tossing them downwards at Akiyo aiming for his legs in hopes of catching him off guard and slowing him down or making him immobile if they hit-
LightFang: -Akiyo would barely see due to his turning that Kazu had retracted his leg to avoid the swiping attack he had launched. However Akiyo would notice the lack of resistance when he felt it should have been and widen his eyes to take more in. Thats when he would see the other foot dropping to kick at his left hand. Akiyo would attempt to do some fancy work with his hand and avoid the kick entirely however he would fail at this attempt. The foot would come down and hit the back of Akiyos hand. However Akiyo would manage to tighten his grip on the sword and keep hold of the hilt. This kick did however change the trajectory of his blade. Akiyo would take this kick rolling with it as he was still turning to his right in mid air. Another thing about this turn allowed Akiyo to roll enough to move his legs out of the danger of the incoming kunai, however they would cut the loose fabric of his shinobi pants as the wizzed past. This was nothing more than a lucky accident for Akiyo as he hadn't even seen the incoming Kunai. Also, with this change to the trajectory of his blade Akiyo would keep rolling to put his back toward the sky and extend his left arm out as he was laying flat in mid air. This would take advantage of the new trajectory placed upon his sword to which Akiyo would attempt to cleave his blade along the underside of Kazu's leg. This attempt would be to dig the blade into the underside of Kazu's leg, deep enough to puncture the dermus, or second layer of skin, and cut it off along his leg from the lowest point of the calf to about mid way of the thigh. If this should be successful Kazu's blood would definitely spill from his leg with no remaining layer of skin to keep it in. This much blood loss would require him immediate medical attention as well or he would be in danger of bleeding out before to long. Whether the attack landed or not Akiyo would not be able to stay in the air and would hit the water and dive down deciding not to use his water walking and instead resurface ten feet away from the current location closer to the ledge where the stands were located and pull himself out to stand on the water again facing where the clash had occurred.-
Necrose: -As Kazu was falling down his attempt to change the path of Akiyo's blade a success but his kunai a fail he straightened his legs to prepare for a landing while noticing Akiyo turn over once more and the change of Akiyo's blade was heading for the inside of his own legs. Kazu quickly pulled his katana from it's sheath placing it vertically with his body bringing the palm of his other hand onto the back of the hilt and pushed his own blade downwards towards his legs to block Akyio's blade that was aiming for the inner part of his legs, in doing so Akiyo's blade would slide across his own and prevent it from making contact with his legs. As the two blades met each other Kazu's feet landed back on the surface of the water his chakra flowing into his feet so that he would stand on the water instead of sinking. Once his feet touched down on the water's surface Kazu pushed off of the water's surface jumping up and backwards into the air away from where he had landed. While in mid air Kazu took his palm off of the back of his katana's hilt and reached back behind his back once again and pulled two kunai with paper bombs attached to each of them and tossed them a few feet in front of the spot where he had just jumped from accounting for the fact that with Akiyo's forward momentum once he hit the ground he would slide. As Kazu landed on the surface of the water five and a half feet back from where he has pushed off the kunai gained in closer to Akiyo, Kazu made a hand sign that set of the paper bombs attached to the kunai he had thrown if Akiyo was caught in the blast it would at-least burn him pretty badly or even take off a limb-
LightFang: -Akiyo would feel the clash of his blade with another blade making sure that Kazu had avoided his cleaving attack. He would grit his teeth at this fact. 'This kid has gotten a lot tougher to hit damn it..' he would think to himself. As previously stated Akiyo would not activate his water walking and dive into the water as he fell into it. This would leave the explosive Kunai behind him as he quickly resurfaced about 10 feet away. By the time he had pulled himself up to the surface of the water Akiyo would see Kazu set off the bombs causing a bit of smoke to puff up in between them. Akiyo was safely outside the blast range, however, and received no damage from this, but he would grit his teeth as it seemed his hand has been forced. Using the cover of the freshly stirred up smoke Akiyo would raise his left hand and form a few signs using only this hand, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTcxM5ANNNk) This would be very indescribable to anyone not of the Yuki clan. However, this was one of their abilities. After forming the technique specific hand seals with his left hand Akiyo would stomp his right foot into the water and watch as he raise one thousand needles of water around the area the Kazu was standing in. "Ninja Art: Thousand Flying Water Needles of Death." After proclaiming those words his needled would fly rapidly inward toward Kazu from all directions even above giving him almost know means of escape. Akiyo realised this broke their deal of using no Jutsu during the fight, but he also knew the importance of winning this fight. The attempted attack was launched with enough force to prove lethal as the needles would attempt to puncture 2 inches deep in one thousand different places at once. The pain alone could be enough to make him pass out and the blood loss could even kill him. Either way this attack could very well end the match right here.-
Necrose: -Kazu stood in the place he had landed watching the explosion of his paper bombs go off keeping his eyes locked on the spot to see if his attack had been effective. As the smoke started to clear Kazu kept his eyes locked on the spot unable to see where his foe had went. While keeping his eyes locked on the smoke the explosion had created Kazu heard the sound of speaking in the distance but he couldn't make out what was being said. Kazu looked around him trying to find the source of the voice, he looked into the air and noticed water needles flying at him great speed. Kazu realised the the needles were travelling at too fast of a speed for him to jump out of the way or use his Hydration, he placed his arms in front of him in an X shape hoping to shield himself from the needles hitting any vital spots. The needles made contact all over his body blood dripping from the spot they had made contact causing him to drop to his knee, he scoffed and yelled out,"You broke the agreement you dirty bastard!" After the words escaped his mouth again game to his face,"At-least I did better this time." His body feel forward into the water as the pain from the needles caused him to pass out .-
