The Yuki's First Spar: Minage vs. Sairento

The day was young as the time was now 12:00. The season was spring as the Sakura Trees began to sprout beautifully. A slight breeze flowed gently throughout the area of Hoshigakure. The noise that formed from the activity in Hoshigakure was as loud as always. The noise has always been annoying to a certain shinobi who was just promoted to Chuunin. This Chuunin happened to be the one the called ‘ The Bug Boy of Hoshigakure ‘, but his real name is Sairento Aburame. He was often lazy and could care less about anything in life but he had a respect for a few in the village. Today he was assigned to train a young boy from the academy who went by the name of Minage Yuki. Sai didn’t know how to feel about this but he had no other choice. Sai was sitting in a tall tree that he had climbed by focusing chakra into his feet to climb it with ease. This tree was located just outside the village’s south gate and could be seen on the forest line so it wouldn’t be hard to spot Sai. A message should have been delivered to Minage from one of his academy teachers. Seeing how Minage’s teacher was the one who put in the request for the sparring session. So all that remained now was for the Yuki to show his face.

Minaa: Minage had woken up very early this special day due to the fact it was going to be his very first spar that he has ever participated in. Full off excitement and joy that was burning within Minage like a wild fire’s blaze he got dressed very fast /eagerly so that he can begin his second day of real training. Minage grabbed his ninja equipment before he ran out the door, feeling the nice warmth of the sun hit down on his body. He started bolting it towards the south gate of the village with pure excitement and determination with each step that he took towards his destination. When Minage finally saw the south gates within his sights he got even more excited and started running towards them even faster with smile on his face. Minage finally ran past the gates and came to a full stop with a little jump right before the forest line. He took a deep breath breathing in all that fresh air before he started looking around at the trees searching for mystery ninja that he was suppose to meet.

Sai would hear the thud from the feet of the young Yuki’s hitting the ground. Knowing the boy arrived on time, Sai opened his eyes and preformed the tiger hand sign and used the Body Flicker Technique. Once he vanished from the tree branch in a cloud of smoke, the Aburame would appear behind Minage with his arms folded. After he appeared, Sai would clear his throat abruptly before beginning to speak. “ So you must be Minage Yuki, Correct? “ Sairento said as he studied the physical appearance of the academy student. Sairento then stepped back a few feet and unfolded his arms just to tuck his hands into the depths of his pockets. However, before tucking his right hand into his pocket Sai reached into his pouch and grabbed a kunai. Once he drew the weapon from his pouch, Sai would throw it accurately and precisely in the gap between the feet of the Yuki. “ Use that to fight me and come at me with the intent to kill ok? Now, attack when your ready. “ Sairento said as both hands were now tucked into his pockets. Sairento felt no emotions for anything so he had no empathy for the Yuki. So if Minage did not come at him with the intent to kill, then Sai would force him to.

Minaa: Minage was suddenly startled when he found out that the mystery ninja who he was about to spar/train with had suddenly appeared behind him. Minage slowly turned around thinking to to himself “Oh my god when did they creepy guy come behind me x\_x” so once Minage had turned around with a smile he slowly bent over reaching for the kunai while staring right at Sai and nodding his head with pure excitement. Suddenly once the kunai was in Minage’s grasp he suddenly crouched down as low as he possible could while having his right hand behind his back and jumped up as high as could (3 meters) while throwing the kunai right back at Sai while pulling out his katana infront of himself

Sai’s eyes never left the boy even during his movements. Interested in the speed the young one had, Sai quickly used his right hand to unsheathe his katana and deflected the Kunai with ease. He had done so in a mere second and sighed as his arm lowered, which meant the blade of the katana was now pointed at the ground. “ So I see you use the Katana as well. “ He said as he then sheathed the long blade. Once his blade was sheathed Sai gave Minage a cold look. “ I admire your bright smile and the excitement you have. However, your lacking the want to kill me. In battle, your opponent will not pause to give you an opening unless their stupid. You must force it. Even shinobi of Hoshigakure will kill you if you cannot defend yourself. “ Sai said as he thought of Kaiiaki. “ Show me your worth or this is all pointless. “ Sai said as he then began to sprint towards Minage. Once he reached Minage he’d swing his left arm towards Minage’s gut with his palm stretched opened. If this landed Minage would feel a strong ache in his stomach as he would be sent flying through the air.

Minaa: Minage looked right into Sai’s eyes when being approached by him while he had a serious look in his eyes, hence giving Minage a reality check. Right before Sai got close enough to attack, Minage flung right back to the air again while pulling out two kunais with his left hand and thinking about what do next that would be most effective. When Minage started falling to the ground he throw one of the Kunai directly at him and placed his Katana directly in front of him, pointing it at Sai getting ready for another move once he has hit the ground and said“ Well you cant be serious all the time! But maybe I should be right now”.

Sai shrugged as he began to feel as If the boy was holding back or wasn’t being pushed far enough. In a mere second, Sai would spin to the left to dodge the kunai that was thrown. Right after he came to a stop, Sairento began to release insects from his body. The bug count was up to 50 as he didn’t need that many for the boy. With 50 bugs being released from his body, they began to circle Minage as they were beign ordered by Sai himself. Sai now had a view of everything due to the eyes of the insects. Standing still feet away from Minage( 10 feet ), the bugs then began to form behind Minage. Once they all gathered, they formed into an exact copy of Sai. This jutsu was known as ‘ Insect Clone ‘. After the jutsu was complete, The clone would use it’s speed to swiftly attack Minage. The clone would aim to kick Minage in his back. If it landed the clone would then proceed to climb on top of Minage and repeatedly punch him in the gut. “ I shall show no mercy. I don’t intend to ease up on you if cannot show me your worth. “ Sai said as his ice cold eyes focused on the Yuki and his clone.

Minaa: As soon as Minage had landed with both feet touching the ground he then swiftly took off his Top and threw it in the air as he charge head with his Katana ready to be used at Sai where he was standing ten feet away. But as soon as Minage had taken his first step towards Sai he threw the second kunai that he was holding with this left hand backwards at his top (so the kuni dosent cut through) making his top fly towards the bug clone that was running towards Minage from the back. Feeling the pressure Minage change his facial expression to a very blank and very serious one while feeling a drop of sweat drip down from his head from all the pressure that was put down on him. “Hmm”

Sai watched the following turn of events as he became a little more interested in the Yuki. Minage Yuki, is skilled for a academy student. Sai knew this and a smirk came to his face. “ Come, Let’s play a game. “ The Aburame said as the second Kunai pierced the clone but the seemed to go straight through it as the bugs just adjusted themselves and rebuilt the clone. Once the clone was finished repairing itself, it preformed the tiger hand seal and used the Body Flicker Technique to appear in front of Minage. Once the clone appeared, it would aim to knee the Yuki in the gut and take the katana he held from his hand. Meanwhile, Sai would perform the ‘ Hiding Like a mole technique ‘ which allowed him to submerge under the earth’s surface without a trace. As Minage would be engaging the clone in close combat, Sai would rise from the earth and would now be a great distance away( 40 feet )to ensure that he had enough range to attack from a distance. While the Yuki engaged in combat with the clone, Sairento would began sprinting around the Clone and Minage. With Sai’s speed Minage would only be able to discover what seemed to be a blur swiftly dashing around him. Meanwhile, Sai would draw a senbon from his pouch. Sai was now running in circles around the young Yuki and while the clone began unleashing close range attacks, Sai himself would began to throw the senbon at Minage from all angles. The senbon would pierce the boys skin and causing him to bleed uncontrollably. Sai would use about 15 senbon doing this and as each needle left his finger tips, the predicted hit markers weren’t aimed to kill Minage but instead disable his movements. The young Yuki now had to defend himself from the clone and the long range attacks from Sai. “ Let’s see what you really got kid. “ The Aburame said as the only thought in his head was spilling the boys blood across the earth’s floor.

Minaa: Manage was suddenly surprised as he saw Sai’s bug clone appear infront of him out of that blue making Minage get in very deep thoughts about how to get rid of this clone so that he can attack Sai head on while feeling the intense moment of the fight. Minage suddenly felt something perice his skin and spill blood, so Minage looked down to see what it was and found a Senbon half way in the side of his thai that was pierced. Then manage felt another one, and another one then a few more piercing and some scratching him, so Minage was about to pull them out until he saw the bug clone’s knee going in for a hit with it’s hand going for the katana. Manage at this point some-what panicking and decided to charge straight forward and through the bug clone while slightly having his breath knocked out him after charging through the clone making his bugs skater left right and centre, all over the place to buy him some time to deal wit Sai. Minage reached for his pouch after setting hit katana to the ground and pulled out 10 shurikens (holds five with each hand) and spun around at the spot where he was standing making the shurikens fly towards the direction he heard Sai run in. At this point Minage is starting to feel little dizzy from having blood being spilled and spinning around in the open sun.

Sairento would smile at the boy’s following action as he came to a sliding stop. Sai was glad to see the boy managed to think and act swiftly in a tough situation that seemed hopeless. However, once the boy equipped his shuriken Sai instantly began flashing through hand signs. – Tiger – Hare – Boar – Dog – These were the signs that he quickly weaved before a single shuriken came even close to hitting the Aburame. The distance between the two had closed a bit and could now be measured at 20 feet, the distance between the shuriken and Sai were half that. Thus giving Sai more than enough time to complete his jutsu and come up with his next move. The jutsu that was preformed with the following hand signs was known as ‘ Earth-Style Wall ‘, which allowed the user to form a wall from the soil and earth around them. Once the signs were complete, a small wall made of earth sprouted from the ground instantly. The wall didn’t need to be all that big, it only was big enough to cover Sai’s body. The wall in height was 5’0 and the width was about 10 feet across. The reason for it being that wide was only to ensure that a Shuriken couldn’t reach Sai. Once the shuriken hit the wall, they’d each be embedded in the rocky wall. Sai then would watch the boy bleed by utilizing the eyes of the scattered insects from his clone. While remaining behind the wall, Sai commanded that the bugs swarm the Yuki and watch him closely. They’d fly close to his eyes and his ear to disable his sight and his hearing by blocking his view and using the flaps and vibrations of their wings to screw with his hearing. “ What’s next? “ Sairento shouted from behind the rock wall.

Minage looks around in every direction, staying prepared for the next moment of the match. For a solid minute he heard nothing and saw nothing but only his bugs fly around near him knowing that he’s watching my every movement. And then out of no where while Minage was having an intense stare down with the surroundings the bugs started flying around Minage’s face even closer messing around with his sight and hearing until he heard “Whats next” by sai loud and clear. Minage thought sai was just a meter or two away so minage crouched down real low and took a high jump of two meter leap once again while swings his arms towards the bugs that were trying to go back to his face, in doing so the blood dropping down from his arms would scatter all over the bugs, finally get himself away from Sai’s bugs. Minage then screamed out after noticing Sai was no where to be seen “Come out of hiding and get yourself down here !” At this point minage was tired and started breathing little heavily due to his lack of fighting experience.

Sai sighed deeply as he knew the fight was coming to an end and to make it worse Sai knew he had to end it quick or else the kid was going to lose too much blood. With hie next move Sai allowed the wall to crumble and crash, which caused a dirt cloud to kick up into flow into the eyes Minage. Sairento the used the Body Flicker Technique after performing the tiger hand sign. Vanishing into a cloud of smoke and then reappearing once more in front of Minage without a sound or sense to be given of his presence. Following his appearance Sai sent a barrage of punches into Minage’s stomach and chest before sending a stretched out palm upwards to the boys chin. Sai copying the fighting style of the infamous Hyuga Clan. Before he sent the final strike to the boys chin, Sairento incased his hand in chakra to strengthen the blow. So if his stretched out palm hit the boys chin, Minage would be sent flying through the air on to his ass. “ It’s over “ Sai said as he sighed and continued with his attack.

Minage was standing there ready for sai’s next move, but out of no where something caught his attention, he was watching a wall collapse down on to the ground causing a thick smoke of dirt fly all over the place. Minage thought he had finally found sai again but out of no where felt a blow strike him from the back many times over and over. Minage turned around to only notice that it was Sai. Unable to move from fatigue and blood lose Minage let out a small battle cry and head butted Sai as hard as he could, and as soon as he pulled his head back he felt drowsy and his whole eye sight started spinning around while taking blows at the same time from sai. And wishing a few seconds later Minage collapsed on to the floor with exhaustion barely able to keep his eyes open and finally murmered out “Hehe i’ll catch up one da..” And fell asleep right on the spot
