Hayate Namikaze vs Toka Shirogane

Hobaninho: -The day had just begun to end and Hayate
Namikaze was on his way home from one of the local ramen shops in town. Dressed
in his usual attire, Hayate seemed to have already grown in muscle and maturity
since picking up the rank of Genin. His shoulders appeared to be just slightly
wider and his hands seemed to have a little more meat on the bone. His usually
fair skin and comely appearance was just a bit disrupted by a small scar that
laid across his left cheekbone; besides that his face seemed still pretty
boyish. It wasn’t a particularly windy day, but when the wind did pick up there
was a sign of it from his lengthy brown locks blowing back and forth a bit. He
seemed particularly upbeat and charming as usual, as if he was ready to take on
what may lay ahead. His crystal blue eyes seemed deep and looked at though they
held more than just a first or second layer to him. His eyes brightened
substantially when he saw his house just around the corner, the thought of
seeing his family after a long day gave him joy. However, that brightness
quickly dissapeared from sight as his eyes darted to the left side as if they
were trying their hardest to look at what had appeared behind him. It was
darker now, something Hayate had not yet noticed but seemed fitting to an
unexpected arrival. His face seemed concerned and concentrated as he slowly
turned around to face the unknown person. Turning around he seemed very
surprised as if he didn’t know exactly who it was at first glance.- “Who are
you?” –Hayate was quick to question as he was not someone to be at a lack of
information for too long of a time. The unknown person had appeared out of thin
air and maintained a very stoic posture. He was knelt to ground, an arm and
fist pressed firmly onto the dirt below him. His face was nonexistant as it was
kept hidden behind an unusually crafted mask that resembled some type of
animal.- “Orders directly from the Hokage.” –The masked man stated as he
blatantly disregarded Hayate’s remark towards him. As the man spoke, a certain
spark seemed to click inside Hayate’s head. ‘This must be the ANBU, I can’t
believe this is the first time I’ve ever seen one.’ –Hayate thought to himself
as before he could retort to the man now identified as ANBU, he was beaten to
the punch.- “You are to report to the training grounds, the one you usually
train at. There you will meet a high-calibar Chunin, you have been ordered to
test your skills against him. The results will be…..interesting.” –The ANBU
shinobi stated in a very mysterious and surprisingly monotone voice. Hayate
seemed startled at the order, but seemed willing to comply as he gave the ANBU
man a firm nod.- “I’ll go there now then.” –Just as he responded the ANBU
shinobi dissapeared as quickly as he had appeared and Hayate was again left
alone.- ‘An order like this given out at such a time?’ –Hayate asked himself
just before he swiftly managed to leap up to a building and began darting
towards his usual training grounds. The fact that they knew exactly where he
trained every day seemed very strange to him. However, Hayate always seemed to
rise to the challenge when given the chance as a very strong sense of energy
and enthusiasm seemed to grow at each step he took. The look of fierce
determination spread across his face like wild fire. Every time he went to the
training grounds it seemed he’d get there quicker every time. He knew the route
like he knew the back of his hand, he’d even hit each tree branch the same way
he always did. Landing in the open area between the dense forest, he felt a
very strange feeling instead of the usual calm and peaceful sensation he seemed
to get out of being there. The place seemed hollow yet full of surprises.
Hayate wasn’t exactly sure if the test had already begun as his tensing body
posture seemed to show. His right hand slowly but swiftly slided just above his
kunai pouch and continued to hover there as it seemed he wasn’t going to take
any chances with failing this early. His training may have been coming to
fruition now, for all he had done in the past was tree and jutsu training. He
had just recently completed his first mission. However, for such a short amount
of time spent as Genin he had made the most out of it. He had mastered another
C-rank jutsu and had already begun learning his first B-rank; a very admirable
accomplishment for a Genin. Being a Namikaze he inherited the traits of an
indomitable fighting spirit and of course tha natural talent of speed. He was
ready for anything, and would surely give it his all.- /E

DivineZiel: -As the day continued on like every ordinary day
to some people, Toka was inside his dark apartment while the smell of
decomposing corpses lingered throughout the small area. His neighbors always
seemed to hit on the wall whenever he'd be performing an experiment. As a result
for the last week, his neighbor has been bothering Toka the most when he
finally tries to get some form of sleep. All he could think about was that if
it happened again, he was going to slice his throat. However, he couldn't
really do that. With the raven colored hair of his swiped to the right as he
seemingly slowly closed his eyes. The purple coloring coming off his half
closed eyes, he would sigh as they finally closed, the scar that ran down his
right eye connected as he slowly drifted off into a form of sleep. With not
even a few minutes of sleep, Toka would be rudely awakened by his male neighbor
banging on his door. Toka had mentally snapped at that given moment while he
pushed himself up aggressively from his chair. With his feet hitting the ground,
he would kick the door with all of his strength while it flew off the hinges
and pushed the male against the wall. Toka would then grab the door by its side
as he throws it against a window that was to the right of them both while he
grabbed the male by his neck and looked him dead in the eye while his sclera
went bloodshot. Choking the male with his fingers slowly digging more and more
into his skin, Toka just stared into his eyes as he then spoke a few seconds
later in a darker voice "Next time you bang on my door, I will murder you
and nobody will find your body..." Upon saying so, Toka would push him off
to the left, towards the man's apartment as he saw him dart inside. The smell
of the rotting animal bodies seeping out of his apartment, he would then look
to the door as he says to himself with his eyes going back to normal. Walking
over to the door, he would sigh as he positions it up perfectly to only start
fixing the door. Hearing a specific voice in the lobby only about twenty
minutes into fixing the door, Toka had just finished up while he walked inside
and walked to his bed only to grab his black hakama as he then slid it on.
While he looked to the purple rope that laid on the bed as well. Gripping it
tightly in his hand, he would hear a pair of footsteps that seemed familiar
however, Toka wasn't in the mood right now so he ignored it while he tied the
purple rope around his waist. Hearing the footsteps getting closer, Toka would
then grab his dark, sleeveless shirt as he put it on and once he did, it would
seem loose as his pale skin and atheltic upper body could be seen mainly except
for his pectoral muscles, sides and back. Within the range of his abdomen and
left side of his ribs, there could be seen a tattooed promise in kanji.
Thinking to himself, he would hear the same knock as he did four years ago when
he was summoned by the Hokage to fight somebody else. All Toka could think
about was the patter 'twon, one, two, three, one' The pattern repeated inside
his mind over and over as he walked over to the door. The main thing he thought
of was that maybe it was another Anbu delivering a message or somebody that
wanted to kill him due to his previous actions. Toka would simply open the door
quickly as he put his hand against the Anbu's head and pushed him against the
wall. His piercing purple eyes would stare into the eye holes of the animal
imitating mask as he saw a note rise up from the Anbu's hand. Taking it with
his left hand, he would unscroll it and read it quickly as what he thought the
first time was the one that actually came true. As Toka let go of the Anbu, he
would watch him vanish in a cloud of white smoke. Toka simply walked back into
his apartment as he threw the message on the end table and grabbed his Konoha
neckband from the same table as he slid it over his head. From there, he would
simply grab his black eye patch as he placed it over his right eye, waiting to
be used for its original purposes of camera feedback from the cameras that laid
within his puppets. Grabbing a small earbud, he would put it into his ear which
was used for him to hear things that was being said if he was away from his
puppets from an ingoing and outgoing microphone. The outgoing microphone as
everybody knows is to let Toka communicate through the puppet. While he thought
of his actions so far today, he could feel himself starting to lose control of
his inner being as he grabbed his two crow colored pouches. Placing them both
on the back of his hakama, along his tailbone area, the left one would hold his
ninja tools and his antidotes while the right one held his puppet scroll for
Blood Angel and his poisons. Looking to the creavise between the wall and door,
Toka could see his chokuto as he grabbed it a little under the handle so he
could slide it between his hakama and purple rope. Letting it dangle a bit, he
would stretch as the chokuto slowly fell handle side first to the

DivineZiel: right while it was now in a diagnol facing way.
Toka then walked bare foot over to his dresser as he picked up his long black gloves
and slid them from his hand to the top of his bicep. Along the palm of his
hands from the gloves a black piece of the glove is sitting upon it
horizontally. While he breathed in slowly and exhaled just the same, he would
walk back to his door while he slid on his black sandals. Walking out the door,
Toka would then sigh as he slammed the door closed but before so, his eyes
caught glimpse of the massive amount of dried blood on the walls, ceiling and
floors plus the pile of dead animal corpses in the corner of his room that
could be unseen from his having a while curtain attached to the ceiling that
overlayed the corpses. Once the door was closed, Toka would make his way
downstairs then outside as he simply walked into the alley way and then, out
onto the street. Knowing which training ground he was meant to be in, he would
then plant his feet into the ground as he pushed himself forward. Dashing at a
fast speed, Toka's feet would hit the earth, lightly however, kept up perfectly
with his pace. As he thought about who his opponent could be, he knew it was a
Genin but didn't decide to read a name if it was provided. Within a few
minutes, Toka was pretty much there however, once he stepped foot onto the
actual training ground, he would keep with his speed, just the same as he saw a
boy in the distance a bit. Closing in on his position with his fast speed, he
would quickly stop about twenty-five feet away from the boy as Toka's breathing
was still slow as well as his heart rate. With his purple eyes staring at the
boy, he would simply lift his right hand and bent his elbow a bit so his hand
can lay on the handle of his chokuto. Thinking to himself "This is the
Genin, alright...." With the voice in his head hearing so, he would force
Toka's body to grin evilly towards the boy as in his head, the voice says, in
its dark tone "He looks like an excellent experiment..." As Toka
heard it, he could feel his inner being, starting to become overtaken by the
darkness that lingered inside his mind and within his heart. Keeping the evil
grin, Toka would seem like a completely different person from only his facial
expressions alone. Standing still, watching the boy, Toka waited for any sight
of movement so he could start analyzing his opponent's attacks in the best way
that he could.-

Hobaninho: -Hayate remained firmly on guard, not letting his
concentration faulter whatsoever. He’d continue to scan the area at a
consistent rate, being able to detect anything incoming to the best of his
abilities. Before anything was visible he had a very faint sense of someone
approaching. He turned his head in the direction he heard it from as suddenly
someone can bursting out from the tree line and such a tremendous speed, one
that could rival his own. As he had a faint sight of his soon to be opponent,
Hayate’s right and dominant hand grabbed at a kunai within his pouch that was
attached to his thigh and retrieved it with great haste. He’d spin it around
several times on his pointer finger and have it ready back firmly in his palm
within a second. As his opponent came to a halt around a good twenty or so foot
away from him, Hayate looked to now analyze his opponent. He deduced at that
moment that his opponent was most likely a ranged shinobi, someone who relied
heavily on being far away from their enemies in order to win battles. However
with that decision made, he was surprised to see his opponent grab at a blade
that was strapped to his back. This obviously meant that he was atleast an
average swordsman as well. As he continued to analyze him, Hayate winced when
he saw the details and facial features of the man. He had seen him before and
had a faint idea of who he really was. A few weeks ago at the festival he
attended with his sister, they had crossed paths. He was with his Sensei Kasumi
when he showed up and barely paid any attention to him, which may work to his
advantage at this point now. However, he had no idea what his actual skills
were from that experience but he was able to remember that he was apart of his
Sensei’s own Genin squad when she was a lot younger which makes this person
around her age and has atleast half of her experience or possibly even more.
However being that she is a Jonin and he is labeled as a Chunin he must be at
some type of disadvantage when it comes to skill between them.- “So this is who
the Hokage had ordered me to face…” –Hayate’s voice echoed in the seemingly
hollow training grounds. The man himself appeared very sinister to Hayate which
put him on even more high alert. He had never dealt with someone with such a
rough demeanor since Kasumi was such a cheerful person. He had a rough idea of
what this man was capable of but a very clear depiction of what he was like and
with just that he made sure to overestimate him which in turn would make Hayate
even more careful when facing him. A small smirk came across his face as he
could tell that if his opponent was going to attack he would have done it by
now, which meant that it was up to him. In his analysis of the actual battle
grounds that he had come to know over the past month or so, he had a clear idea
of the terrain they would be using. There was an abundance of logs and branches
as well as enough open space to spread out and keep away from close courters,
which may lead to his opponent’s advantage of long range. Hayate was quick to
act though as he speedily pulled his arm back and without a moment’s notice and
with a flick of a wirst he had sent his kunai in hand hurling towards the man
rouhgly twenty feet infront of him. Hayate had days of training where he’d set
up targets he drew himself on trees where he would practice his movement while
throwing his kunai and shuriken. Over time he’s managed to become quite skilled
at it. At this point however, he was in a standing position which aided to his
attack. After the kunai was released, Hayate’s face showed no sign of slowing
down as they remained on constant alert with his feet spread open to be ready
to dodge, jump or slide at any given moment. But, above all else they seemed
fixated on actual opponent ready to see what he would do with the incoming
projectile.- /E

DivineZiel: -Toka would see the boy as his mind wandered
over the night of the festival with seeing him with Kasumi, in his mind all he
thought about from the darkness overtaking his mind "What a bratty
girl..." With the faint voice of the real Toka still remaining, he would
say back to the voice, in his head "She's not bratty..." Within an
instant, Toka's grin grew more wicked as he saw the kunai darting towards him.
Within a single movement of his body that seemed fast to the boy's eyes but
average for Toka to feel, he would slide to the right while he dodges the kunai
only by an inch. As he heard the kunai still flying through the air, Toka made
it a quick instant to plant his feet into the ground while he pushed himself
forward at an amazing amount of speed so, he would be going at max speed
towards the Genin. Quickly unsheathing his chokuto, he would focus his chakra
through his right arm which in turns would flow into his hand that then led
into his sword. While the chokuto blade started to become coated in Toka's
midnight purple chakra, he would grin even wider as he pushed himself from the
ground into the air, right above the boy. Seemingly enough, the chakra element
that was coating the blade was earth as it would make the cutting power a bit
better as well as its defense. With a single swift moment, Toka would then
slice in a downwards manner, attempting to slash at his head. If it were to
land or not, Toka would hit the the ground as his sandals skid acrossed the
ground with dirt starting be pulled up from his amount of speed being forced
down. As the midnight purple chakra left the blade, Toka would then dash
straight towards the Genin at an attempt to slice at the left side of his ribs.
Even if it were to connect, Toka would then dash back about ten feet as he
watched the boy for any movements in a single thought which was to defeat this
as quickly as possible.-

Hobaninho: -Hayate watched as his opponent dodged his kunai
attack with great ease. He was surprised to see how fast he moved and already
calculated that his speed was greater than his own. It was most likely obvious
to his opponent that the kunai attack was just a mere starter and optimized to
expose the abilities and possible weaknesses of him. It wasn’t an extremely
intelligent thing for a shinobi of any level to look for as they were all
taught to find out their enemies abilities and weaknesses in the academy; it
was a very generic thing to do at the start of a battle. Hayate had prepared
himself for the counter attack which was the next logical step after the start
attack was expensed. His feet had already been planted firmly at an event
distance a part and his arms were well placed in front of him to block an
incoming taijutsu attacks that may occur. However, Hayate’s plan seemed to
change when he saw his opponent unsheath his blade and continue his charge
forward. Now it became obvious to anyone that this person was if anything, a
close quarters fighter. It was obvious due to his charge with a blade as his
first move. Hayate wasn’t dumb and it didn’t take a genius to figure that out
when it’s right infront of them. He actually found it odd for someone more
experienced than him to try such a bold attack as their first move instead of trying
to figure out his own abilities and weaknesses. The man was coming in closer
and Hayate had to react. Without objection by Hayate, the man had flung himself
into the air and seemed to be generating a certain amount of chakra into his
blade. At a quick glance he could see that it was an Earth style attack which
made Hayate now aware of atleast one of the chakra natures that his opponent
had. Wether it was his affinity nature or not, Hayate had no idea. He looked
upwards at the man as he cringed and grinded his teeth as he seemed too
surprised of his speed and agility that he had not kept his guard up. The blade
was swift and efficient as it made contact with the designated target; just
below his head. At first glance, the head came clean off but after a second
glance a small cloud appeared in the body’s place and out come two pieces of a
log that had been firmly sliced into two pieces by the Chunin’s intimidatingly
strong blade. The real Hayate had appeared seven feet away from where his
substitution had been placed. Although this time he wasn’t doing any standing
around. His posture seemed likeable to the one he took earlier on. His feet
were spread apart in good distance but his hands were clapsed together firmly
in the form of the snake seal where both his fingers were placed in between one
another in the form of something like a ball. He’d continue the hand seals as
followed: Ram-Monkey-Boar-Horse-Tiger. His hands moved at a rapid pace as his
ninjutsu matched the might of his own natural speed. Ending off on the tiger
seal, his hands were almost identical to the snake seal except his two pointer
fingers were standing upright with their tips pressed against eachother. His
chest took a great inhale as it seemed to quickly rise in mass at a tremendous
rate. Practicing his Fire Jutsu with Kasumi had really paid off, it made him
much more prepared for situation like this. Suddenly one large blast of fire
erupted from his mouth as it expanded as much as it could, fire continued to
come. The radius of the fire spread about five feet each way and it was headed
directly at his opponent. In this position, Hayate managed the advantage
currently. Appearing so close to his opponent the radius would maintain it’s
length of five feet when and if it hit his opponent which means he need to deal
with getting out of the blast area much quicker. Also, the momentum that his
opponented seemed to build up during his first attack seemed to carry over into
his next attack in which he rushing towards Hayate’s position since he had appeared
infront of where his substitute used to be. At this point, Hayate was using his
opponent’s own speed against him. As the concept of inertia went, the faster
the speed and velocity of an object, more force would be necessary to slow it
down and to change the pace of the objects direction. Since the object was
coming towards the blast of fire at a tremendous speed it would be increasingly
difficult as his opponent built up speed in his next attack to dodge the Fire
jutsu.- /E

DivineZiel: -Toka would see the boy's body turn into a log
as already set eyes on him again but in only a short while, Toka would see a
fireball coming right for him after he already started dashing for him with his
raw speed. In a quick succession right before the fireball and Toka met one
another, he would plant his feet to the ground as his body sunk into the earth
and the hole that he made was back to the way it was with some burnt grass.
While Toka moved through the earth to the left of where he was, he would force
himself out while a hole erupted form the ground as Toka appeared in the sky.
With no hesitation within his own body, he could feel his used chakra coming
back to him slowly but it wasn't enough. As his feet hit the ground, he would
throw the blade up into the air as it did a couple flips but within a certain
angel, Toka would jump up towards it while he performed a backflip. As he did
so, he would grab the blade and sheathe it quickly. Once he hit the earth
again, he was down on one knee while he slowly pushed himself up. From his body
it can be seen by his evil grin that maybe a dark aura surrounded him. With not
a moment to spare, Toka would start regathering his chakra slowly, only waiting
for another attack from the child, seeing on how simple it was to judge his
powers so far. Toka didn't want to spoil anything for the boy so all he did was
stand still with his right hand back on the sheathe of the chokuto, just as he
was before.-

Hobaninho: -It came as a surprise to Hayate as the fire
dissapated he saw no burnt body but a burnt path of grass that extended far
longer than he had expected. He had the jutsu mastered and fully expected there
to a body lying on the ground. But he was quick to remind himself that it was
only the third time he had used it in actual combat. However, when he came to
realization that the battle was still on, which was a very quick realization he
swiftly pulled out several shuriken from his shinobi pouch each easily placed
in between his fingers, which counted up to ten. His eyes scanned from left to
right awaiting where he may attack from. It seemed basic enough from any
shinobi’s standpoint. If your attack doesn’t hit and you are left by yourself
it is an absolute must that you keep your guard up and ready for anything to
happen. It was another basic teaching that was given to him by the academy.
Suddenly he heard a piercing sound from his left as he saw something had
erupted from a hole in the ground. A shadowy figure came flying out of it at
again at such a tremendous speed that it had to be the opponent himself and not
some sort of attack, not yet. His eyes went upwards as he further anaylzed his
opponent. Again, it was a common teaching in the academy to instruct all future
shinobi of constantly trying to identify your opponent’s abilities, strengths
and weaknesses. The further you go into battle the further you’ll be able to
break down these traits which is supposed to lead to your victory. This was the
way of shinobi combat, at least in its most basic form. Hayate was prepared for
a counter attack but it had still not come yet. Instead he watched the man
landed firmly on the ground around seven or eight feet away from him. He didn’t
look to attack yet again and instead Hayate continued to watch on as his
opponent began to pull his sword downwards and from the position the opponent
was taking, he deduced that he was going to throw his weapon into the air. Why?
Hayate had no idea; it didn’t make sense for any shinobi during battle to
willingly toss their weapon up into the air. If it was meant for some
preparation to a jutsu of his, Hayate had to stop it before it came to fruition
by all means necessary. Now was his chance. As his opponent began to just move
his sword back up in order to throw it, Hayate had released his shuriken onto
his target after whipping both of his arms across his body and flinging the
entire star shaped metal out between his fingers and directly at the man. His
targeting was precise; thanks to the training he had been doing here at the
same training grounds he was at now. He was also at the advantage here as his
opponent was currently in motion of throwing up his sword and just as the
shuriken were near contact the man would also begin to spring upwards into the
air. As the man did so, the shuriken covered a radius of two times his body
size and roughly four feet wide. The jump and throw worked against him,
something Hayate would continue to do in order to even the odds between him and
someone much more experienced. - /E

DivineZiel: -Toka would look to his opponent as he would see
the shuriken coming for him but in a single notion of his body, he would stop
reaching for his chokuto as he let it go but only to form the hand seal of the
Tiger as his body engulfed into a cloud of white smoke. Once it cleared, Toka
was gone and had appeared behind the boy. With a single notice of his mind, he
would reach back into his right pouch as he pulled out the black and red
colored scroll. Toka didn't want it to come to this however, it needed to be
done. As Toka would focus his chakra into one jutsu, he would quickly form his
hands into the seal of the Ram. As he used some of his chakra, he would open
his mouth as wind elemented chakra shot out towards the boy's leg. If it were
to hit, it would start twisting the air around in a small dome that forms
around the boy's left ankle. As the small dome forged around the limb, the air
would twist at a fast rate while the air inside the small dome condensed,
adding pressure onto the limb. In other words, if this jutsu were to land,
there could be the possible chance of the jutsu spraining or breaking the boy's
ankle however, if it were to miss, Toka would then look to his chokuto that
impaled the ground and quickly run over to it with his speedy self as he
grabbed it by the handle and slid it back into its sheath.-

DivineZiel: -Toka would see the shurikens comign straight
for him as he was reaching for his sword. Lowering his hand from reaching for
the sword, Toka would then already feel two shuriken strike against his skin.
Feeling three of them stab into his skin, he would form his hands into the seal
of the Tiger while his body was engulfed into a cloud of white smoke. Once the
smoke cleared, Toka was gone but appeared on the ground, directly under, where
he was. Licking his lips as he pulled a single shuriken out, his left eye would
twitch at the pain while some blood started to ooze for the wound. Doing the
same for the next two, Toka would simply look to the boy as he would then throw
each in the air above him. With no hesitation, Toka would force himself into
the air as he grabbed all three. Focusing his chakra perfectly into all three,
Toka could feel his blood seep out of his body more but only seemed to twitch
at the pain for now. With each shuriken covered in his midnight purple chakra, Toka
would throw each over them directly for the boy. Keeping his chakra controlled
until they were to impale them if they were to do so. If they were to land or
not, Toka would quickly look up and see his sword. As he would then hit the
ground, he would hold his arm up to only catch it as he turns it the opposite
way where it was backwards, the blade rising up his body instead of going down
it. With a slightly crouches position, Toka would then push himself into a dash
towards the boy as he coated his chokuto with his chakra once more, depleting
more of his chakra as he would then stomp with his right foot into the ground
directly in front of the boy as he would simply let his body spin to where the
blade would quickly dance in a side slice towards the boy's chest. If it were
to hit or not, Toka would simply dash backwards about ten feet as he thought of
his next moves accordingly to what he knows so far. It may have looked as if he
was just pressuring the Genin into submission however, this is the way Toka views
his opponent's abilities. So far, he has noticed that the child is decently
fast and he has a fire nature jutsu. All he had to do was get a little more
about him and this win could be in the bag...hopefully. As Toka thought of all
the possible outcomes, he never put forward once of his skills being the reason
that he could win. It's not a matter of skills or jutsus, it's the way you move
your body in its own way to where you can work around in any situation. Toka
quickly got sidetracked by his own thinking as his wounds caused by the three
shuriken kept leaking out more blood.-

Hobaninho: -Hayate watched intently as three of his ten
shuriken impaled their designated target. One striked directly at the forearm
while another impaled his opponent’s left hand. The third managed to pierce the
man’s stomache although it didn’t appear to hit anything vital as shuriken
aren’t known to be long edged. However this would give Hayate considerable
advantage as the fight continued. He himself seemed surprised to have landed a
hit but also comended himself in doing so; it furthered his drive and increased
his confidence in winning this fight. Although, Hayate knew not to get ahead of
himself as the battle didn’t seem to be over. He watched as his opponent took
out the shuriken individually and even took the oppurtunity to lick his own
blood which disgusted Hayate. But nevertheless, his opponent proved to be
resilient as he sensed him beginning his own attack. Hurling the shuriken up
into the air quickly followed by the man himself, he’d grab onto the three
shuriken and while in mid-air he’d throw the shuriken heading directly at
Hayate. The throw itself when it came to form seemed spot on, however it would
have been more accurate had the man not have been wounded. Two of the three
shuriken pierced the man’s arm and one noticeably hit the man’s throwing hand.
This caused them to be throwing just a bit less inaccurate than they should
have been. If this wasn’t the case Hayate as well might have been impaled just
as his opponent was. In Hayate’s defense he grabbed a kunai out from his pouch
when seeing his opponent grab hold of the shuriken initially, preparing himself
for the defense. When they came for him, one was noticeably going to miss which
Hayate quickly disregarded. The other two were coming straight for him and he
had to do something about them. Holding his kunai infront of him as firm as he
could, the blade stuck out infront of him rather to the side. When they came,
Hayate managed to block the first one with his kunai but relied to heavily on
the second one and was grazed on his left shoulder enough for the clothing to
rip and blood to spew out. The wound wasn’t deep at all as it seemed to just
break through a layer or two of skin, nothing to slow his movements down. Although
he reminded himself again that if he hadn’t hit his opponent initially then
those shuriken would have been much more deadly. As the man landed he seemed to
waste no time as he charged directly for Hayate. ‘This guy doesn’t quit huh?’
–Hayate thought to himself. He observed the man as he saw he was using the same
jutsu on his blade in his first attack at the start of the fight.- ‘This guy is
wounded and he is using that jutsu again? He must be using considerable chakra
for all of this to keep going at the speed he is.’ –Hayate again thought to
himself. Going up against a man with that intimidating blade power would be
foolish; Hayate knew he wasn’t strong enough to counter with direct contact. He
knew from the beginning how to play someone who is much more powerful than him.
However, he maintained his guard with his kunai, holding it out directly
infront of him. Comparatively, Hayate has used a considerable less amount of
chakra than his opponent. He used one jutsu so far which was his weakest fire jutsu
while his opponent has been converting Earth style into his blade for a second
time while under pretty severe wounds. Time was not on his opponent’s side.
When his opponent prepared to strike at Hayate he did so by first stomping on
the ground and inacting a spin motion. Although the man’s speed was better than
Hayate it was in this split oppurtunity that Hayate was able to make his speed
match his opponent’s. Instead of the man swinging head on without a spin, which
would have most likely ended up hitting he took the time to stomp on the ground
and pivot in a circle first; which subtracted the power of his speed and
brought it down to Hayate’s level. If it were not for this, Hayate would have
been cut in half. Hayate’s move came when the man begun to spin as he
anticipated this as an attack that would happen instantly not within another
second or so. Hayate would jump with his feet just about shoulder length with
his opponent and with his kunai in hand he tucked his body into a flip while
his right and dominant hand jutted out over the man’s shoulder and struck at
his opponent’s right shoulder blade. If and when it struck Hayate was sure to
let go of the blade for fear of it being stuck in the body and his flip being
cut short. Also if it did hit the man’s right arm would be mostly unusable
since it would connect with ligaments that allowed his whole arm to move in a
fluid motion; which meant that both of his opponent’s arms would be severely
damaged. Considering the man was spinning that would make his eyes and
attention on anything but Hayate at this moment and in full swing and motion
he’d have little effort left remianing to be able to stop the impending
attack.- /E

DivineZiel: -As Toka watched the boy jump up in the air as
he saw the start of a flip. With a single notion of his chakra, he would think
quickly of only two possible ways of getting out of this without a sratch.
Option A was to just duck under and end up on the other side of the boy. Option
B was to sink into the earth and move around. However, there was still one
other way to be able to get through this fight almost perfectly while still
being able to attack his opponent. That way was to utilize his kunai that he
still had from his old Sensei. With only a couple seconds to think, Toka would start
to sink into the ground as he would get cut on his head, only a bit. As he was
in the earth, he would sheath his chokuto. While he could, Toka would only wait
until he heard the boy's feet hit the earth. As Toka heard so, he would then
jump out of the ground and into the air. As he stayed in the air from the
momentum he built up, Toka would quickly grab his left pouch with his left hand
as he brings it in front of him to only grab the Makibishis. With his right
hand, he would throw one on each way he could to make a perfect cross
surroundings the boy. After doing so, Toka would quickly grab eleven senbon and
throws them around the boy while he then grabs the rest and does the same. As
Toka make a perfect circle around the boy with his ninja tools, Toka would then
rehook his left pouch to where it was supposed to be. With no hesitation
between him and his initial attack. Toka then performs to seals Boar → Ox →
Snake, once this sequence of hand seals were completed the ground beneath the
boy would slowly start to spiral inwards on itself however, it started off slow
usually but then with his keen speed, Toka fell down right next to the boy and
attempted to grab ahold on him. If he were to at the perfect time, Toka would
then keep him against his body while the jutsu speed picked up the the earth
spiraled inwards on itself, starting to bury them alive. If Toka's grab would
have worked, he would wait to a certain moment that the jutsu was perfect for
him to leave it by using his Hiding Like A Mole Technique that he's been using
here and there in this fight so then only the boy would be buried alive in the
earth however, he'd make it to where the earth didn't cover the Genin's head so
he could breathe. Toka would then say "Good fight..." If it were to
fail, Toka would be sucked into the earth as he uses Hiding Like A Mole to only
work his way through the earth a bit, hop out and look towards his opponent for
another move. There was only two more way that Toka could end this and he knew
that his main thought would work the best but it could take a lot out of him.-

Hobaninho: -Finishing off his flip he’d feel the tip of his
kunai slice into some part of his opponent, he had hoped it was his shoulder
but the feeling felt a lot more like bone than flesh so he assumed it was most
likely grazing the head. It was acceptable for Hayate but he was hoping to end
the fight by getting rid of both of the arms. When he landed he instantly
turned around as he expected an oncoming attack but what he saw was nothing.
Thinking about earlier on in the fight, Hayate recalled his opponent
dissapearing into the ground in order to dodge his Flame Bullet jutsu. Suddenly
in what Hayate had anticipated, the man burst out from the ground in mid air
and saw that he was reaching into his pouch, presumably to grab at something.
He didn’t like where he thought this was headed and the fierce look of
determination on his opponent was intimidating enough to spawn Hayate to do
something about it. He held his kunai tightly in his hand and saw that his
opponent had begun throwing some sort of metal at him. Ready to block, Hayate
felt hopeless as all of them missed their mark. However that didn’t seem to be
the case as he looked all around him and saw the Makibishi spread all around
him. ‘He’s pinning me down and I can’t have this.’ –Hayate thought to himself
quickly as he came up with a plan. The plan was risky but was better than
accepting defeat, that wasn’t an option. Hayate looked up towards a tree and
locked it in as his target. Quickly now, Hayate leaped from the circle of traps
just as his opponent had started to fall down seemingly to land pretty close to
him by using his inherited Namikaze speed of his and managed to dive out of the
way of whatever the Chunin had planned for him. As he landed on one of the tree
branches he felt several small piercing pains down his leg. He looked down to
see three small needles sticking out from his leg scattered in different areas;
quickly pulling them out, a very thin line of blood from each wound trickled
down to his sandals. He grimaced at the pain from his leg and his shoulder. He
was beat up but still not as bad as his opponent. His left arm was rendered
useless and a shuriken to the stomach was never good for a fight. Hayate was
also lucky to have the chakra enhanced shuriken wound on his left shoulder
which was not on his dominant arm. This allowed him to have good mobility of
his throwing arm and was still able to form hand seals. This was also true for
his opponent however. With Hayate dodging the traps at the time he did, he saw
his opponent now stuck in his own trap being surrounded by all the Makibishi
and the Senbon. He had little time to act and decided to copy his opponent’s
own move, but with a little twist. Leaping into the air quick enough to allow
himself to stay up there for a few seconds he’d grab hold of several shuriken
each between his fingers once more but there seemed to be atleast five more
wedged in there this time. To create more speed for his shuriken he’d allow his
body to twist as he fell down which by the laws of physics caused him to speed
even faster as he fell and in turn brought Hayate and his opponent closer
together and therefore decreased the range he’d need to cover in order to
penetrate him. The Makibishi and Senbon covered a vast area around the man;
roughly fifteen feet now. Letting go of all of his shuriken the speed he had
created with his fall mixed with his twist had allowed them to fire with great
velocity. He compensated his weak shoulder with this gravity technique which
allowed all the shuriken to fire at an immense speed. His opponent was trapped
and was sure to take some hits but which hit he’d take would be the interesting
part.- /E
