Masaru and Shin...Again

## Log

KingTDSJ: Shin
 sat on his couch bent over as he packed a few things into a backpack.
His television showed the Hoshigakure news, a woman stood on the camera
in front of the Kage Mansion and spoke about the recovery of the village
 since the pandemic of the charka virus last month. Shin sighed as he
relived the moment briefly in his head as he thought about the dumb
choice he made but more importantly he couldn’t help be remember the
look of the village in its dying state. He shook his head as he tried to
 get rid of the image and finished placing the last few items in his
backpack. It’s time he began to get back into his usual routine of
training and improving his skills. He needed to become a better shinobi,
 that was his priority at the moment. He stood up and slung the backpack
 on his back as he turned towards the exit of his home. Shin was wearing
 a long sleeve shirt, the abdomen part was white, the sleeves were a
bright orange. The back of the shirt had the symbol for the trademark
Uzumaki seal on its back. Along with this he wore black pants and
sandals to complete the outfit. He headed towards his front door,
looking in the closet towards the entrance. He dug around the a bunch of
 stuff on the floor before grabbing the strap of a sea bag filled with
different gear and equipment. He held it tightly as he used his leg to
close the closet door. HE dropped the bag down as he grabbed the remote
off of the arm of his couch, turning off the tv “Damn electric bill was
almost 3,000 Bottle Caps last time I took a trip” He said to himself
(3,000BC is equivalent to a shit ton for future reference.). He looked
around his living, making sure there wasn’t anything he forgot as he
turned off the light. “Well...time to go grab the boy.” He said as he
grabbed the sea bag and vanished instantly. He reappeared in Masaru’s
room next to his drawer where one of Shin’s marked kunai sat. He looked
around the room, examining the clothes that were laying on the bed and
floor. “Masaru you ready?” He yelled out, trying to see where the boy
was exactly

MasaruNamikaze: ~Masaru
tossed and turned in his bed heavily. He wasn’t able to get comfortable
no matter what he did. Perhaps he had slept long enough at the hospital,
 and his body rejected the concept of more. Or the thought of an empty
house kept him awake; it was his first time living by himself. The
village offered to pay the rent for the house for a year, or until
Masaru could maintain a more stable form of income. Though he was a
Shinobi, he hadn’t been doing a lot of missions so he hasn’t been
getting paid as much as he should. He threw himself out of bed and
proceeded to his bathroom, turning on the light and simply staring at
himself in the mirror for a solid five minutes as if to detect something
 on his face. His room was dark behind him, besides a bit of sunlight
that leaked through his closed blinds. He didn’t want to be bothered for
 a while, taking some time to simply mourn and be unhappy it seemed. At
the same time he was eager to get back in the field. Perhaps use some
training to take his mind off of things. But most of all, he had the
urge to drink for the first time outside of dire battle situations. It
was in his families blood to drink really, sort of an everyday thing for
 his mother and father. But he didn’t want to, seeing how it brought
some happiness, but at time it brought forth a lot of ugly situations.
Any quarrels people had with each other always took full bloom when
alcohol was involved. Masaru splashed a bit of water on his face before
drying it. He turned off the light in the bathroom and returned to his
dimly lit bed room. Masaru himself was wearing nothing but his boxers
and his hair was rather wild and out of control versus it’s normal
combed down look. It was mid-day, but Masaru looked like he had just
rolled out of bed…though he literally just did. That’s when he saw a
tall figure standing in his room next to his dresser. ~ “Masaru you
ready?” ~It yelled out and Masaru raised a brow as he recognized his
voice, it was Shin.” ~Why are you here? I don’t feel like training…”
~Masaru said as he dragged him back to his bed and proceeded to get
underneath his covers. ~

KingTDSJ: Shin
 looked at the boy and frowned at his apparel. “No homo.” He said as he
looked away a bit, examining his room. “It’s almost noon kid...I
understand you’re still in the process of mourning but you’re a shinobi.
 You have a duty to your village. Training isn’t technically a
requirement but you need to always strive to improve, even in the face
of adversity.” He stated as he paced around, looking out the window a
bit as he moved the curtain to let more sunlight shine through into the
room. “Besides, you have your unborn child and your lover to think
about. You need to get strong for them. I didn’t know your family well
but I know they wouldn’t want you to sit here and mope all day like a
lost puppy. Put some clothes on. Pack enough stuff for at least a week
and meet me outside.” HIs last two sentences were given in his more
commanding and serious tone. Shin understood Masaru’s pain but at the
same time he needed Masaru to understand the concept of being a shinobi
who continues to push on. He picked up his sea bag and handed out of
Masaru’s room, finding his way to the outside the front door of the
house. He sat his bag down and leaned against the wall, crossing his
arms as he looked around the area.

MasaruNamikaze:“Yeah, whatever.” ~Masaru said, simply shrugging off his
words, not really listening to him at all. He rolled up into his bed more as
Shin opened up his blinds to let in some light.~ “I’m not going anywhere…I’m
not in the right state of mind mentally. So I ask nicely, just leave me alone.”
~Masaru said as he let his hand drop off the side of his bed and scavenge the
floor for his shinobi gear, just so he knew where it was. The same with his half
gallon of special alcohol that belonged to his family. He had recently learned
how to make more himself, a yearlong process that if done incorrectly could
kill Masaru if he drank it. Good thing there was plenty of the fruit planted
and ready to be fermented when Masaru first got to village. He has enough to last
him a while now, but he is constantly making more just in case he lost a good
portion of it somehow. Masaru closed his eyes and proceeded to ignore Shin,
hoping he would leave. ~

KingTDSJ: Shin
 stood there for about an hour. His patience was growing thin as he
started to pace back and forth, whistling to himself as he tried to
remain calm. After a hour and a half Shin decided it was time to try and
 force him out. He walked back through the door, maneuvering through the
 house back into Masaru’s room. He opened the door slowly and closed it
behind him. His facial expression was blank except for a slight frown
that he had. It was obvious Shin was annoyed with the boy’s behavior and
 I guess it was about time for Masaru to see Shin’s more aggressive
side. He sat in a chair and faced Masaru. “You’re acting pathetic…” He
said calmly, his voice a bit deeper than usual, something it usually did
 when he got agitated and more serious. “Honestly. When is the last time
 you trained or went out? You’ve just been sitting here drinking your
sorrows away and it’s disgusting to see. What happened to the motivated
genin I took as my mentee? Are you really going to sit there and let
something like death get in your way? If that’s the case then I’m sorry
you’re family died in vain. How would they feel knowing that a young and
 talented genin like yourself is slowly letting his career go down the
gutter? You have a Kai and your baby to think about. A weak man will
make a weak father. And by weak I mean physically and mentally. With
this mindset you’re developing I feel sorry for your future family.
Looks like Kai is going to be the head of the house huh? She’s already a
 chuunin and you’re sitting here developing an addiction...pathetic. Man
 the hell up and get fucking dressed. Get your damn head in the game and
 stop acting like a child..time to grow up.” His words were serious,
Shin didn’t blink as he spoke and stared Masaru down without looking
away once. He stood up slowly and pointed to him in the most
intimidating way he could. “You have one hour to be ready. One minute
past that and I’m dragging your ass out.” He added as he turned and
headed outside the room, closing the door rather aggressively.

MasaruNamikaze: ~Masaru simply ignored most of what Shin was saying,
choosing to not give him the time of day regardless of what he was saying.
After Shin left and slammed the door behind Masaru sat up in his bed and did in
fact begin to cloth himself, but not for the reason one would suspect. He
gathered up all of his gear and grabbed the kunai Shin had given him during an
earlier encounter. He took one Kunai from its usual spot and tucked it inside of
his coat rather than in the pockets of his pants. He then walked outside and
stood about ten feet away from Shin. ~ “I don’t have to listen to you so, feel
free to take this back.” ~Masaru said as he threw the kunai at Shin’s neck with
rather sound precision. But before he threw it, he swiftly attached an
explosive take to the hilt, doing so out of view from Shin, and fast enough
that most would not have seen it happen. If the kunai met its target within
Shin’s neck, it would explode after Masaru made the hand sign Tiger and probably
blow his head clean off, killing him. If it missed, it would simply fall to the
ground a bit further down the line and blow up, leaving a big crater where it
landed.~ “Yeah, you’re right. I need to get out…out and away from you. Have a
nice day.” ~He would then turn his back to Shin and begin to walk the other
direction down the street with his hat tilted over his eyes. As he walked away,
he crossed his arms and slowly withdrew the kunai from his coat, from Shins
view it would appear as him only crossing his arms out of frustration or
something of the sort. He kept his arms crossed, simply walking with it. He
slowly began to seep some wind chakra into it, not enough for someone to really
notice, only a sensory type ninja or something with an ability that would allow
them to. Masaru’s chakra control wasn’t took great, but he focused on giving it
a steady stream as he walked away with an aggressive gait.~

KingTDSJ: Shin stood there in silence. The silence was quickly interrupted by an explosion behind him. Shin stood his ground as the searing hot air blew past him, the shockwave of the explosion blowing his hair and clothes in a quick intense breeze. “So his true intention was to destroy the kunai? Smart kid.” The explosion was quickly followed by a kunai enhanced with wind chakra. The attacked approached quicker than expected. He quickly brought his blade up, slashing diagonally upward from his left side to his right side, enhancing his blade with wind chakra as will as he blocked the kunai. He made sure to pure a little extra chakra into it, allowing him to effectively block the attack. The kunai would fly back in the air towards Masaru although it was too high to do any damage as it would fly about 20ft in the air and land around 40ft behind him. “At least you’re using what I taught you. “Shin thought to himself as he stared the boy. Shin sighed as he listened to the boy's words, watching him drink what he presumed to be alcohol from his jug. He shook his head as Masaru fell to the ground. “Do you really think that your drunken fist tricks can work on me? That’s an insult to my prowess as a jonin.” He said softly as he start to walk over to Shin. “I’ll entertain this charade for a while I suppose.” He said as he approached him, stabbing his sword into the ground at the 15ft mark. Once he got about 5ft away from the boy he stopped, looking down on him as he continued to focus on the molded chakra he prepared in his body. He knew better than to get too close to the boy. 5ft was a good distance considering how small Masaru was compared to Shin, the distance would give him more time to react to any surprise movements. Once again there was an eerie silence in the air as Shin stood there and waited for the boy to do something.

MasaruNamikaze: ~Masaru then popped to his feet rather instantly, after Shin
closed the distance between them to merely five feet. Shin would have probably
needed a lot more space between, because as soon as Masaru’s feet hit the
ground, he came charging at Shin, full speed. In this state Masaru was twice as
fast, twice as strong, had twice the stamina and his Taijutsu skills were twice
as good. Making him more than twice as fast as Shin, almost twice as good in
Taijutsu, twice as durable in terms of physical stamina, and about even in
terms of physical power. The five foot distance would close basically instantly
as Masaru attempted to deliver a punch to the temple of Shin’s head. He used
all of his physical power, as well as the momentum from his dash forward. It
would be enough force to knock him out due to the point in which Masaru was
attack, and the sheer force behind it. If this initial attack missed, Masaru
would attempt to follow it up with another punch to his diaphragm in order to
remove the air from his lungs and stagger him back a few feet. The punch would
also have a chance to bruise the diaphragm itself, making it hard for Shin to
breath in general. ~

KingTDSJ: He made a rather peculiar facial expression as he watched Masaru. Although he knew things should be taken seriously at this point he was curious to see what power the drunken fist actually had. Masaru made the first move, moving with a speed that even surprised Shin. He immediately found himself at a disadvantage as Masaru came flying towards him. The jonin reacted quickly, charging towards the boy as well, leaning his body towards the side from where Masaru threw his punch.. Although it wasn’t intentional he somehow managed to avoid Masaru’s jab, his fist barely missing the side of his face as he felt the wind from the punch slide against his cheek. Using both the boy’s and his own momentum he scooped the arm closest to Masaru upward attempting to cause his bicep to collide with the boy’s neck. Then he would instantly attempt bring his forearm around the boy’s neck, clasping his palms together. From this position Masaru’s arm would be fully extended, his own shoulder being pushed into his neck from Shin’s body while Shin’s arm constricted the other side of his neck as he squeezed. A successful standing triangle choke would be engaged.The choke was a blood choke, meaning it constricted the arteries to the brain which Shin did with Masaru’s own shoulder and his forearm. It would take about 8 or 9 seconds before Masaru would pass out from this. If this was successful however Shin would then feel the harsh pain of Masaru’s follow on punch that would connect with his abdomen, bruising his core and knocking the wind from his body. Shin would hold the choke however and continue to choke the boy out. If his counter missed somehow he would fly past Masaru where he would then turn towards the boy in his fighting stance.

MasaruNamikaze:~Masaru remained calm as he saw Shin dodge his initial
attack despite his speed and close proximity. He did his best to remain focus,
but mostly let his body give way to natural instinct rather than cognitive
decision. As soon as Shin stepped to the side, Masaru began the motion of his
punch to Shin’s diaphragm. At the same time, just before Shin’s attempt to
scoop the arm that threw the first initial punch, he swiftly folded it and
attempted to deliver a powerful elbow directly to Shin’s temple, a blow he
wouldn’t be able to simply shake off. Such a sharp point such as an elbow being
delivered directly to ones temple could easily knock someone unconscious, and
possibly kill them. It can also damage the soft tissue and cause a whole variety
of problems such as contusions. Though the movement of Masaru cocking his elbow
back to deliver the blow would benefit Shin, as the bicep was basically already
in position for a split second, but due to Masaru’s speed the elbow would come
down on his temple at full power just before Shin could lock in the choke.
Assuming he could somehow take the hit and still be conscious, his choke would successfully
be locked in, though highly doubtful. Not to mention the punch to the diaphragm
that was coming from Masaru’s left arm. Both of these attacks put Shin In a not
so good position, as Masaru’s speed gave him an acute edge on shin when in
close. If Shin could manage to get in sort of submission on Masaru, it would
have to be due to outsmarting him, rather trying to use speed and momentum
against him, as the drunken fist is known for producing powerful attacks from
the least momentous spots. If Shin tried to move his head in any way whilst
still trying to lock in the choke, Masaru would simply re-direct his elbow to
Shin’s neck in an effort to damage the neck tissue and possibly give him some
breathing problems. If Shin moved away from Masaru at any distance greater than
one or two feet, Masaru would charge at him again, with a speed similar to Lee
without the leg weights. He’d be only mere flashes and afterimages. Masaru
would be ready to deliver another attack as he charged of course, doing a quick
zig-zag motion to throw Shin off a bit.~

KingTDSJ: And
 there it was, Masaru’s counter hit Shin like a brick. Shin immediately
found himself on the ground, rolling back from the impact of the blow to
 the head. Because the two were moving he luckily avoided a direct hit
to the temple but he still felt the effects of a blow to the head. He
rolled about 5ft away, covering his head by instinct as he immediately
forced himself up, still reeling back as his ears ringed and his sight
was somewhat disturbed. A small stream of blood came down the side of
his face from a cut caused by the impact of the blow. As soon as he
stood up he would jump into the air about 30ft. While suspended in the
air he would forming a quick series of handsigns. He then dragged his
thumb across his face, scooping up a bit of blood from his face as he
extended his arm out performing the summoning jutsu. He kept his eyes on
 Masaru who at the moment look like a blob as his vision was still
refocusing. A large poof of smoke would appear in front of Shin as a
number of about 15 of his hawks appeared in front of him. As soon as the
 smoke appeared the hawks would launch out of the smoke with blinding
speed as they launched towards Masaru. They traveled in a straight line,
 the first 3 with their talons out and aimed towards Masaru. The first
would attempt to dig its 4inch talons into Masaru chest, the next 2
aiming for his arms. The force from the impact would be enough to knock
Masaru down as they stabbed him. The following 12 hawks had the two
paper bombs attached to them, one under each wing. IF the first 3 hawks
weren’t successful in subduing Masaru they would attempt to pursue him
immediately upon seeing the first one failing. They would explode when
they were at least a 3ft distance of the boy.Each hawk would explode
one by one to prevent blowing him up twice. If they got to close to Shin
 the hawks would not explode unless they didn’t see him. The explosions
of each hawk would expand to about 10ft with enough force to violently
whiplash his body away and leave him with some minor burns. Meanwhile
Shin would land behind Masaru’s house. He would take a knee, keeping his
 head up to remain aware of his surroundings as the ringing in his ears
calmed down and his vision slowly became clearer. Using his sensory
abilities he would be able to decently keep track of Masaru’s movements.
 He sat their in patience, once again molding chakra as he awaited the
outcome of the event. He had barely used any chakra up to this point so
he still had plenty of fight left in him.

MasaruNamikaze: ~A slight
 smirk rolled across Masaru’s face as his elbow connected, though not
completely on target with his temple. As soon as Shin began to roll
back, Masaru gave him no time to recover, immediately coming after him
like he prepared to. He zig-zagged, using his incredible speed to throw
off the direction in which he was attacking from. He would arrive in
Shin’s face bit before he was recovered and onto his feet, due to the
short distance in which he had to close. He wanted to end the fight in
some way shape or form, or else it wouldn’t be long before Shin decided
to go all out against him, or for his empowered state to eventually wear
 off. He went into a roll himself, before placing his feet on the
ground at the end of the roll and launching up and off of his feet in an
 attempt to deliver a viscous flying knee to the lower jaw of Shin with
his right knee. Due to the fact that Shin has yet to stand up at this
point and was in a lowered position, this flying knee would be lined up
directly with his jaw line. The momentum from the roll added from the
explosive force generated from Masaru’s calf muscles on the jump would
be enough to break the lower jaw bone, and at the least crack it upon
place of impact. If Shin somehow dodged the knee, Masaru would retreat
twenty feet back before removing a smoke bomb from his pouch for a
future attack. Shin had little time to react period. An elbow to the
head even if it wasn’t directly to the temple, would have him stunned
for a pretty good while and unable to focus period. No matter how
experienced or strong the shinobi, a clean elbow to anyone’s head is
enough to make them dazed and confused at the least. Not to mention the
short distance Shin rolled, not giving Masaru a big space to close and
therefore not giving Shin enough time to respond.~

KingTDSJ: Shin
 found himself still dazed from the vicious elbow he just took to the
head. Ears ringing and his vision blurred he kept his gaze towards
Masaru who only appeared to be a black blur in his eyes. Shin could only
 react off of his instincts now. He immediately focused on his sword as
he activated his Hiraishin. He would then instantly vanish only to
reappear about 20ft away at where he originally placed his sword. This
was done out of instinct of trying to create space, avoiding Masaru’s
powerful knee was just a coincidence. He appeared next to the blade,
pulling it from the ground as he focused on the chakra he had previously
 molded in his lungs. He formed the tiger seal with his free hand and he
 inhaled heavily before quickly exhaling in the air into several blades
of wind. Shin moved his head in various direction to cause the wind
blades to come towards Masaru in various angles. The result was a
powerful gust of wind that headed toward Masaru at a speed that even
matched his. Because of how fast Shin teleported from his location and
the speed of the technique it would only take about 3seconds from when
after Masaru’s knee missed for the attack to collide with him. This
attack would also take advantage of their environment. The two were on a
 street in Hoshi meaning that homes and buildings were on their left and
 right sides so Masaru only had a few options if he was going to dodge.
If this attack hit him it would violently whiplash his body through the
air as if he were a rag doll while simultaneously cutting at his
clothing and skin. The shockwave of the wind itself could be enough to
knock Masaru out with its brute force. Along with this gust of wind a
large amount of dust and debris would fill the air in front of Shin to
conceal his location in a thick cloud of dirt that would be about 20ft
high. Usually Shin would avoid using such a powerful technique inside
the village but Masaru was amping him up more and more so he figured a
small amount of damage to a few homes was worth it.

MasaruNamikaze: ~Masaru found himself rising into the air about five feet
before landing on the ground as his knee missed Shin. It was evident he had
teleported away, something Masaru was waiting for him to do in general. Masaru
looked around and quickly found Shin again as he retreated back twenty feet. As
he was retreated, Shin was just about to exhale his massive gust of wind.
Masaru had to react fast in order to not take on the full brunt of the attack.
He looked to his side and jumped into the first window he saw in order to take
cover from the gust of wind. He covered his head as soon as he body came
crashing through the window, as the rushing winds blew out the rest of the
windows and sent glass everywhere. Masaru kept his head covered until the roar
of the wind stopped. That’s when he looked up and saw the little girl whose
bedroom he had just jumped into. ~ “It’s fine, we’re just play fighting.” ~He
said without stumbling over his words, which was a clear sign that his Drunken
Fist had basically worn out already. He struggled to stand on his feet as the
side effects of the cool down phase began to take effect. His movements were to
be sluggish and he would find it harder to focus amongst other effects. These
effects wouldn’t were off for at least an hour. Masaru knew if he tried to
continue the fight, he would be unable to put up much of a fight. But he didn’t
want to give up, he still didn’t want to go with him to train. But he also didn’t
have much of a choice. At this point Masaru would lack the strength to even
fight back if Shin were to simply grab him by the leg and drag him. Masaru
slowly climbed back out the window and realized he had some cuts on his face
and forearm, but nothing too serious. He held his hands up as a sign of
surrender. ~ “Fine…you win. I’m not going to fight you anymore.”  ~He said as he walked towards Shin, fanning
the dust from his face as he coughed a bit. He struggled to keep himself
upright as his muscles were sore and tired. Masaru drops to one knee as he
pants a bit, and the unclear air didn’t help him get any kind of fresh air. ~

KingTDSJ: Shin
 noticed he had blood spilling from the cut on the side of his head. He
wiped it off with his hand as he felt Masaru slowly getting closer. He
could see his silhouette through the debris. Shin assumed his attack
must’ve connected from the way Masaru seemed to be walking as if he were
 in pain. “Hope you’re ready for more kid” He said softly with a slight
smirk as he formed three quick handsigns and took a rather different
fighting stance. He spread his legs about shoulder with and bent them a
bit as one hand went out, palm open and the second one remained tucked
near his waist in a tight fist. Wind began to spiral around the forearm
of the tucked arm. The wind picked up speed quickly as it blew away the
debris is a strong breeze that then focused around Shin’s forearm as it
increased speed. The spiralling wind gave the look of a vortex or
tornado around Shin’s fist and forearm as he stood there preparing to
strike. This was Shin’s favorite jutsu that he rarely got the
opportunity to use, The Whirlwind Fist. Shin smirked more as he prepared
 to launch towards Masaru. The smirk quickly faded as the debris cleared
 and Shin could see Masaru’s hands up. He sighed in disappointment as he
 put his head down and began to stand normally, the vortex fading away.
“Blah...I actually wanted to use that jutsu” He said as he watched the
boy fall to his knee. “So you overdid it huh? Oh well...at least you got
 out the house.” He touched the cut on his head,examining his fingers to
 find that there was still some blood coming from the cut. “You almost
made me fuck you up.” He said briefly. “Well it’s clear you’re not
interested in training. I’m not going to force you to train then I
guess. If you want to stay weak then stay weak, that’s not my problem.”
He added as he walked over to his backpack and seabag, sling the
backpack on his shoulders as he picked up the bag. “I had plan to take
you on a trip for a couple of weeks to work on a new jutsu but I see
that you have other plans. I’m leaving for a few months then. I’ll be
occasionally stopping by the village if you need me.” He turned away and
 started walking off. “Don’t die or anything while I’m gone or Kai will
blame me. See ya” He added just before vanishing into thin air just as
quickly as he had came.
