## Tooling Around 2-4-17

Kaiiaki: - "Damn it Dahlia. Why me?" Kaiiaki complained in her impish soprano toned voice. "You owe it to me." She replied simply, as if they'd had the conversation a million times already. And in fact, they almost had. In order to pay her back for a few nights ago, Kaiiaki had to do something for her. Had she known it meant overseeing some Genin brats she would have never agreed. But of course, she had to. Obligation to family was the only type of moral code the young Kaiiaki had. Any good deed done, was solely for them. Everyone else could jump off a cliff for all she cared. As a matter of fact... a few of them lay at the bottom of the Valley of Death because of her doings. She smirked at the thought of the rotting corpses within the toxic levels of gas. ~No one will ever find those sorry asses I buried...~ She couldn't help but slightly chuckle at that thought. Fujimaru was no longer there to correct her mistakes and stick her under his thumb. That Kage didn't even last under her own wrath. He should have known better than to attack her first born son. He deserved the level of torture she put him under. Every bit of it. A brief flash of the last memory of Fujimaru popped into her mind. His skin peeled off his face. Layers of epidermis, dermis, and connective tissue peeled off like butter to a knife. Blood gushed down his face, trickling through the layers of tissue like melting ice. His screams echoed into the soundproof walls, bouncing off and hitting her eardrums. It was like music to her ears. And they just let her do it. Her son's father even helped in the torturing but ripping the former Kage's right hand off. Tendon by tendon it was ripped. The sound of tissue pulling off of bone gave a satisfying rip like the sound of ripping fabric. This moment was one of the highlights of her life. Sweet vengeance given for an evil deed attempted. Kaiiaki kept replaying the moment like a record in the back of her head. The dark thoughts gave rise to the voice of darkness that slept within her. Kurama, was his name. He fed off Kaiiaki's dark thoughts like it was a banquet dinner. He reveled in them, feeding off in turn more evil energy to Kai. The two were a dangerous duo. The previous Kage knew about this and had attempted to stop it. But he in turn failed miserably. The two continued to live, and work in tandem with each other. One always fed off the other. That's just how things worked with them for now. Perhaps in the future they would have more of a partnership. But that remains to be seen. With a bored sigh, Kaiiaki leaned back against the moss covered boulder she currently sat on making a soft thud. A sigh escaped from her purple lips. "They better not waste my time. I am not here to babysit." She gave out an irritated growl, wishing that she'd never made this deal in the first place. Dahlia had previously made the arrangement with the two Genin Asa Uzumaki and Kenzo Ryuo to spar. She had also delivered very specific intstructions for the two when they arrived. Of course these had been passed on to Kaiiaki. For the moment she sat upon one of the large boulders in the grounds. It stood about 8 feet up into the air and about 5 feet in width. It gave the shape of a cushion, as if it were a small couch one could recline in. It was comfortable to sit on while she stared into the distance and thought of torture. But soon she would be loosing her patience. She was gracing them with her prescence, they had best show up on time or she would leave.-

Kenzo: -Kenzo had been given instructions to meet up to spar with another genin. His new Jonin had been the one to give him the instructions which he had accepted happily. The spar had very odd instructions, they were to only use the academy taught jutsu and their own inventory. ‘This will definitely make for an interesting spar’ he thought to himself as he gathered his equipment. He had his dagger, which was strapped to his right leg, six kunai, six shuriken, five smoke bombs, and two paper bombs all tucked neatly into their respective pouches. He would quickly double check to make sure he had collected everything he would need around his lonely quiet home. Once sure he had everything he needed, Kenzo made his way out of his home and towards the grounds the spar was to be held at. Along the way, Kenzo would ponder on what this fight would entail and he smiled to himself. Whether he won or lost the spar, it would definitely be a learning experience for him and who knew, he might find himself a rival after this was all said and done. Kenzo would shortly arrive at where he had been instructed to meet. Looking around, he would find a strange looking woman with what appeared to be gray scaled skin sitting up high on a boulder. “Um, hello? Am I on time?” He would ask as he waved up at her before sitting down on the ground and looking up at her curiously.-

Asa: Asa walked down the path towards the training grounds slowly. He had finally received his orders to his new Team, which was exciting, but their first request was rather strange. Academy jutsu only and weapons from their own inventory. He looked down at a checklist he had as he passed for a second a reach in his weapons pouch on his back, awkardly feeling for everything on his list. "5 shuriken...check." He said he slid both of his arms into his sleeves. "6 kunai, 3 on each arm...check" He grabbed that handle of the blade strapped to his lower back. "Tanto. Always there when needed." He then looked down at his waist. "Two scrolls from a lineage of Fuinjutsu and badassery..check" he said before balling up the paper and tossing it to the side as he continued his stroll down the path. Asa was pretty confident in his skills as a shinobi so he figured that taking down another genin would be no problem. He arrive at the clearing, noticing two figures off in the distance a bit, one sitting on a large boulder and the other looking up at her saying something. It was obvious who the more important person was. As he approached he took mental note of them, gray scaling skin with grey eyes..a rather strange looking woman, but rather beautiful in a way. She was shorter than him, or at least it appeared to be that way. He frowned once he looked at her belly..a sealing formula characterized by the Uzumaki’s trademarked swirl in the middle. “She must be holding something pretty damn important in there.” He thought to himself before smirking. He then glanced towards the boy, who he assumed to be a genin. “One visible weapon but few pouches..should be interesting.” He thought before he finally got close enough to speak to them. “Um..Hello. I’m Asa.” He said with a forced smile as he looked up at the woman.

Kaiiaki: -It seemed as soon as she thought it, it happened. Right when she didn't think they were going to show. A young male with hair the color of crimson arrived at the training grounds. He seemed as if he was taking his sweet time.Something was strange about him. This one adorned horns upon his head as if it were a fashion statement. ~Ryu Clan...have not seen one of those in awhile...~ Kaiiaki at once stood up, making not a sound as she stood above him. She spoke not a word. But instead, she looked down, her chin lifted in the air slightly. Her grey eyes showed no interest as she looked down at him. She showed no expression upon her face. It was if his existance was irrelevant to her. Her grey eyes flicked over towards the west of the Training Grounds. The other Genin had shown up she assumed. This one had red hair as well. A very distinct red at that. Perhaps one of the Uzumaki she estimated. She continued to hold the same look without speaking. Her head did not move, just her eyes. Her eyes flicked back as the child with horns introduced himself. She did not respond, but continued to hold the same look. An eerie wind echoed off in the distance, blowing its way towards the grounds. It softly blew its way towards Kaiiaki, lifting up her pastel purple hair and blowing it gently. It was the only sound in the whole grounds. No animals chattered. No people shuffling about. Just the single thread of wind that flew by. She waited about a minute after the one who introduced himself as Asa. She then parted her purple lips, opening her mouth to speak. "Let us get one thing straight shall we.." A single ladybug flew by in front of Kaiiaki's face. Without blinking or even moving, Kaiiaki moved her chakra into the air. It mixed within the molecules of the oxygen and water in the air, making a specific dangerous combination. It was the jutsu Crytsal Imprisonment Wave. Before the bug could make it past her left ear, she had crystallized the bug into the shape of a pentagon. It covered the bug in a crystal of about 6 inches in length and 3 inches in width. Her eyes followed to watch the crystal tumble in the air, and fall right in front of the two Genin. Upon impact of hitting the ground, the crystal shattered into pieces leaving nothing behind but Indigo colored dust. " I could kill you that easily." She paused, smirking arrogantly. "But the most dangerous part is..." She began in a whisper. "I will not leave evidence." She chuckled in the back of her throat, seemingly now that they understood how powerful she is. "I do not give a fuck about either of you. So don't get in my fucking way." She hissed out now in her impish voice. "I am only here to fill in for Dahlia. Do not think you are getting special treatment. You better impress me with this fight. Or else you will end up like a pair of shish-kabobs. NOW GET TO IT!!!" She screamed out in her high pitched voice maniacally. Her grey eyes flickered to the color of red irises for only a split second as she screamed. To know she meant business, Kaiiaki mixed her chakra in the air two inches behind the two boys. If they didn't hop into action immediately, they would be stabbed straight through the gut with her Crystal Thorns jutsu. The crystal thorns would span the length of 3 feet in height. Six branches would raise up, 3 on each side of the main branch and envelope the sides of the boys' hips. These crystal thorns would have formed immediately, and if they did not move into action to fight each other, Kaiiaki would stab them straight through before they would even think of disobeying her. -

Kenzo: -Kenzo would watch in stunned silence as the woman would give
out her harsh words, and while he didn’t like it, he would remain silent. Upon
seeing what had appeared to be a ladybug be turned into a solid crystal, Kenzo
would make a small mental note to never, ever make this woman angry. She had
yelled at the two genin to get to it, and after that display, Kenzo wouldn’t
falter in springing to his feet and turning to face the other young man who had
arrived. Kenzo would slowly begin his approach toward his new opponent. As he
approached, Kenzo would scan over his opponent quickly taking in any
information that he could. The boy had stark red hair and what appeared to be a blade of some sort from what Kenzo could see. Once he
was close enough, Kenzo would quickly reach into one of his pouches with his
left hand and grab two shuriken between his fingers, quickly bringing them
forwards and throwing them towards the other boy’s midsection. After throwing
the two shuriken, Kenzo would speed up his approach following behind the two
shuriken as they flew towards the young boy hoping his opponent would dodge and
leave himself open.-

Asa: Asa frowned as he watched the woman as
she ranted on. “Why type of bitch is she? Cackling on like some old hag.” He
thought to himself as she continued. “I hope she isn’t trying to scare me” He
thought as the ladybug shattered in front of him. Asa then turned his attention
to the other genin, who had already turned and faced him. The boy seemed to be
grabbing a weapon. Almost immediately after the boy had thrown a pair of
shuriken towards Asa. Instinctively Asa ducked down, the shuriken slicing a few
strands of his red hair as he quickly dropped into a squatting position,
keeping his head up and eyes on his opponent, who had begun running towards
him. Using his legs he lunged forward, attempting to use both of their momentum
to tackle the boy to the ground by driving his shoulder in the boy’s abdomen.
This would bruise his ribs a bit. If successful Asa would posture up, his
opponent under him in the guard position, and began throwing quick powerful
punches towards his face.

Kenzo: Seeing the other genin duck down keeping
his head facing him, the genin would lunge towards Kenzo trying to tackle him.
Kenzo would quickly dart to his left and close back in on his opponent. Once he
was back in range, Kenzo would launch a series of quick kicks toward the other
genin’s chest and face hoping to drive him backwards and even towards to ground
were he lucky enough to connect. If his attacks did connect, he would continue
the combo into a leg sweep and take him to the ground. Were his attacks to miss
however, he would be left open for a quick counter attack before he could
gather himself.

Asa: Asa grunted as he noticed his opponent
move out of the way. He put his arms forward, turning his lunge into a roll as
he quickly sprang himself up to his feet from the roll in one fluid motion.
Standing up and turning he felt a quick kick connect to his abdomen, pushing
him back abit. Asa quickly recovered, defending the following kicks with his
forearms, taking minor damage to his arms. Seeing his opponent turning to
initiate a leg sweep Asa jumped into the air, bring his legs up to avoid the
attack, seeing this as the perfect opening Asa would take no time to take
action. Reaching into his right sleeve with his left arm Asa would pull out a
kunai from under his sleeve and in one quick motion swing his arm forward,
throwing the kunai towards the boy’s back as he initiate the leg sweep. The two
were close and his opponent was in mid-turn so the odds were clearly on Asa’s
side. Asa aimed to miss the spine or any internal organs..not trying to damage
a teammate any further than needed. If his attacked missed, which was unlikely,
Asa would simply land on his feet a few feet away from his opponent, taking a
fighting stance and preparing to continue the bout.

Kenzo: As his combo had been blocked, Kenzo
would feel a sharp stabbing in his back. He would turn to face his opponent,
reaching for the kunai that had been nestled into his back, painfully. With a
slight wince, Kenzo would pull the kunai out from his back and cast it aside
next to him. He would smile as he looked at the other genin, who was clearly
ready to continue the fight and get into a stance himself before springing back
into action, forming the signs of the ran, snake, then tiger and creating a
simple clone as he charged towards his opponent. As he reached around five feet
away, Kenzo would jump to the right and throw a kunai at his opponents right arm
while the clone would continue the charge, leaping as if to make a kick towards
the genin’s midsection. Were his plan to fail, the clone would be gone either
way but, Kenzo would still be around five feet away to the other genin’s right
his guard raised.

Asa: “Hm.” Asa was surprised to see the kid
ready to continue fighting. Asa would getting fired up from seeing the
motivation the fellow genin had to fight on despite the injury. He got ready as
the opponent charged towards him, forming handsigns. “The rules were only
Academy Jutsu. That isn’t a shadow clone.” he thought to himself as he kept his
attention on the original Kenzo that went to the right, holding a kunai and
launching it towards Asa. He grabbed the handle of his tanto drawing up and
quickly deflecting the kunai away. The clone was intangible its kick would pass
through Asa as the clone faded away. With his tanto drawn he charged towards
the genin. Once close enough he leaped towards him in a dashing like manner,
slashing the tanto in a X motion across the boy’s chest in an attempt to cut
him. He did this while he was in motion, so he moved towards him during the
slash, making it harder for him to dodge. This also meant the second cut would
be deeper than the first if they connected.

Kenzo: Seeing the genin draw his tanto, Kenzo
would quickly draw his dagger and parry his blows the best he could. The Dagger
had blocked most of the blows but, there were cuts on his knuckles now from the
size difference in the blades. Kenzo would jump backwards and smirk at his
opponent. “You’re good. I’m enjoying this” he would say as he sprang back into
action, a bit slower than before bringing up his dagger to slash upwards
followed by a quick downward slash across his chest, not hard enough to be
fatal  but, hard enough to hurt. Were his
attack to be blocked his guard was still up ready for another strike from the
tanto.

Asa: Asa smirked a bit at the remark “So are
you, but you should see me when I’m serious” Asa said as he examined the boy’s
movements. He made sure to breath through his nose, not trying to look weak or
tired as he stayed ready for the boy’s next attack. The genin came towards him
quickly slashing upward. Asa, took a slight step back, leaning away from the
dagger as it sliced his left shoulder coming upward because of the way he
dodge. Asa blood flew in the air, using his tanto he blocked the downward
slash. He would then attempt to force the genin’s blade to stay up in sorta of
a clash of strength as he would attempt to hold the boy’s dagger upward with
his large tanto. Meanwhile he would extended his free arm, flicking it out,
causing one of the three kunai on the arm to fall into his hands in a reverse
grip position, quickly slashing across towards the genin’s outward leg he would
attempt to slash his inner thigh. If successful he would cut the femoral
artery. This would be a rather dangerous injury that would probably end the
fight if it connected.

Kenzo: Caught up in a clash of the blades,
Kenzo was stuck in a very close combat scenario. The other genin would suddenly
flick his arm out and a kunai would appear in his hand. He would begin to slash
towards Kenzo’s leg near the femoral artery. Using his free hand, Kenzo would
catch the other genin’s wrist stopping the blow as the cut began to hit his
leg. It hadn’t hit his femoral artery but, Kenzo still had a kunai in his leg
which hurt quite a bit. At this point,
Kenzo would raise his leg that
didn’t have a kunai in it, and attempt to knee his opponent in the
stomach. The attack didn’t hold as much strength as he had wanted to due to the
wounds he had sustained in the fight. If his attack landed it would at least
let Kenzo have a few seconds to catch his breath before the fight continued.

Asa: Asa was rather impressed to see the
genin stopping his attack and continuing to attempt to fight. As Kenzo raised
his knee quickly thought of a counter, he dropped his weight, lowering his
elbow from the kunai hand and using it to attempt block his opponent’s knee by
driving his elbow into the inner thigh of the attacking leg. Of course his
elbow and forearm would taken most of the impact from the blow but however this
would cause the kunai that was already wedged into Kenzo’s leg to be forced
deeper into his thigh, possibly hitting the artery. At the same time Asa
dropped the hand that held his tanto down a bit, slashing quickly in a quick
attempt to also cut the boy’s wrist, hopefully slicing the vein with his tanto.

Kenzo: Having already been fatigued, the kunai
digging deeper into his leg was enough to make Kenzo see that this fight was
not his to win. On top of that he had not been able to block the swinging of
the tanto causing his wrist to be cut open. At this time Kenzo would accept his
defeat at the hands of the other genin he had been made to spar with. “Alright.
I give. You’ve gotten the best of me in this fight.” He said pained but still
smiling. His eyes shone brightly as he continued to lose blood and he began to
grow a little dizzy. Though he was injured and bleeding from quite a few
places, Kenzo had enjoyed himself thoroughly during the fight as he had been
taken in by the rush of the battle. Now that it was over, he was slightly
relieved but, at the same time he had wanted to continue further to prove
himself even more.

Asa: Seeing the genin give up Shin smirked as he watched the guy in pain a bit. He then remembered he needed to act quickly. He dropped his weapons grabbed the boy's wrist. "Good fight.." Asa said awkwardly as he looked at the bloody wrist and thigh of the genin. "My original plan was to use a substitution jutsu and substitute myself with a paper bomb to fuck you up.." He calmly said as he took off his headband before placing it about 3 inches above the Kenzo's elbow, tying it tightly to prevent circulation from flowing and exiting the wound. He then dropped down to his knee. HE quickly took off the thin rope that held his tanto around his waist. He tied the rope tightly above the wound in the same fashion as he did to the genin's arm to prevent further blood lose. "Hopefully next time we fight you'll be on my side and something like this won't happen." He added before standing up. He looked towards the girl "Unless you know medical ninjutsu and want to help...which I assume you don't. Then I'm going to take him to the nearby hospital for medical support." He said as he attempted to grab the boy's uninjured arm and walk off with him.

Kaiiaki: -Kaiiaki had mostly kept quiet during the course of the fight. She was pleased to see that they had taken to fighting each other so quickly without a thought of disobeying her. They must have known what was best for them. That, or they must have heard the rumors about her. Either way, she watched them with the intensity of a puppeteer playing with his puppets. Like little weak pawns on the chess board that had no value to them. Perhaps they might become of use to her. But from what she had seen from this first fight, she had been sadly disappointed. They both were as weak as baby rats freshly born from their mother's womb. They had seen nothing of the world such as she had. "Pathetic..." She spit out. She left seconds after the wound to the artery had been made. It was clear who the victor was at that point. Although she would have loved to stick around and see more bloodshed. The Ryu kid was clearly out of the game after that point. Of course she had medical knowledge and an arsenal of medical jutsu. But she didn't want them to know that. They would be relying on her if they knew. They needed to strengthen themselves and stand on their own two feet. She despised picking up other people's slack. By the time the Uzumaki fellow would turn around and attempt to yell at her, she would already be gone. Kaiiaki had vanished from the spot, not caring to stick around. Her time was better spent elsewhere.-
