leaf shinobi clash (sparring) Masako Ryu vs Takashi Rito

[Masako]

Masako Ryu wearing is usual Blood Red scarf Dark Brown sleeveless shirt, short red jacket, silver chain, short dark brown glove strap, red belt with grey pants and black and red sandals. He walks back into konoha's training field and walks over to the 3 wooden stumps. he leans on one and goes over his strategy for his first fight against a talented fellow Genin.

For this sparring match i've gotta watch myself. A new day and a new chance to exert some power. I plan on using my hira-shurikens.... uhh definetly my smoke grenades, as well as Makabishi spikes, kunai, and my great sword. as for ninjutsu, i would like to test out my Goukakyuu no Jutsu, passionate heat, Raitou no ken, and charged projectile. Finally for some good old fashioned TAIJUTSU!!!! MY JOd muay, Shishi rendan,and finally test out this Ka jig khai on somebody. this spar will show where i am now from before.

Masako flashes back to his childhood and quickly snaps back into reality. clenching his fist he leans back onto the large stump and awaits his opponent. .... Takashi rito

[sonic]

A strong wind blew from the North-East direction, compelling the leaves of neighboring trees to dance with it. From this particular direction , a figure could be seen from where Masako was standing. Just a humanoid dark blob at first, however as the form grew closer to Masako, decreasing the distance between them, the dark blob shifted into a boy. The boy was of medium height, around 5”6, slightly short for only a 12 year old, but he never let that bother him. He had blonde hair that was tied in a short ponytail just above the nape of his neck and shiny emerald eyes that were analytical, scurrying to and fro’ to examine Masako’s leaning form.

“Good Afternoon, Ryu-san.” Came the boy. “I’m Takashi Rito. I believe we scheduled a sparring match for today, correct?”

Takashi smiled gently at his opponent, showing his pearly white teeth. He sported a thin white T-shirt and blue shorts that came just beneath his knees. It was rather hot today after all. The young genin pulled at the hem of his shirt to allow breeze to cool his skin. He dropped his arm to his side which brandished a utility belt just above the waist band of his shorts. The sparring had been scheduled last morning and Takashi had spent the following night preparing for the fight. Although it was just a spar, Takashi refused to disappoint.

His hand glided from one pouch of the belt to the next, giving each item he had a soft one-over, just making sure he had indeed packed it. Four Hira-shuriken? Check! Two Large Marbles? Check! Three Kunai? Check! His smile grew wider as Takashi brought his hand to his back where a long sword was tightly strapped. It was around 3 to 4 feet, and Takashi’s most prized possession.

Takashi walked closer to Masaka, now able to feel how dry and sandy the earth in this area was. The genin glanced to his right and noticed a thin stream, probably only two feet in diameter and from the looks of it only a foot deep. It was probably rather slippery and just beyond the creak was land just like the one Takashi now stepped on.

He returned his attention back to Masaka and offered to shake his hand.
“This will be my first fight so, please treat me well.” Takashi greeted further.

He understood the rules of a sparring perfectly and knew that it was only customary to shake a combatants hand if he or she was a friend. Well, he hoped Masaka could be a friend since they were of the same village.

As Takashi extended his arm to Masaka, the young genin was immediately considering battle tactics. The Jod Muay would be a good starting stance to be in. He had also learned several jutsu in preparation for the world of ninja and was excited to test them for today. The Kari shuriken technique and Soshuha were good to start off with so, that Takashi could get some distance. Then, perhaps the inferno technique would be an excellent follow up. Takashi tugged at his lower lip, hopefully he wouldn’t have to use the body flicker technique. That one was rather damagin on his body.

But I can’t wait to use Passionate Heat, it took me so long to achieve that technique, Takashi thought to himself as he recalled the hours of training it took to learn the jutsu.

[Masako]

    Masako was in trying to enter a state of indestructible well-being. At this point the only thing masako had to go on at a time like this is meditating. Trying to focus on the body mind and souls, masako multiple emotions racing through him. As he already knows, masako tries to block all of these negative and impure thoughts out....  Focus...... focus....

    Opening his eyes masako looks at the glistening water. looking at the soothing motion masako closes his eyes and focuses on the battle. all of these... feels... how do i hold them all???

    While leaning and meditating on the stump a leaf smacks Masako on his cheeks.Suddenly he feels a dark and ominous presence. The wind, trees, birds and leaves all seemed intertwine. the dark ominous presence felt like it was getting stronger, closer. Masako in an instant looks over his shoulders and saw nothing but a little boy around his age examining him. Good afternoon to you to Takashi.

    Masako walks off of the stump 4 feet to the side of takashi and takes a gander upon his clothes. THAT'S SOME NICE TEETH YOU GOT THERE!!!! The young boy in the white-t glimmered with tons of potential. looking up and down the blonde hair almost startled him. As masako looks back and returns the smile he does a few basic stretches and afterwards grips is Great Blade. Takashi! ... this to is my first fight. And with a goofy smile Masako screamsAND TO THOSE THAT ARE SPECTATING.... PLEASE. ENJOY!!!

    The wind circles around the to combatants. Fire burns in Masako's eyes. The leaves dance in a frenzy and beauty is in the air. Beautiful isn't it? Masako says while looking at the leaves still holding on to his blade. The will of fire is burning in us all. the world is so fragile and we decide on breaking and breaking. heh, im not really sure where im going with this... but let's fight.

    Masako takes a defensive stance and stares deep into Takashi's eyes. waiting on the oppositions first move, masako tilts his head downward and with a smile and says would you like the first move?

[sonic]

According to Takashi’s Aunt, the word ‘enigmatic’ would a proper term to describe Masako as he was both perplexing and slightly uncomfortable to be around due to how heated his emotions were in comparison to Takashi’s.

AND TO THOSE THAT ARE SPECTATING…PLEASE ENJOY!

The fair headed child snapped his head left to right, but saw no one. His fine eyebrows raised ever so slightly, just high enough to show confusion without seeming to be rude. Although Masako acted different from the ninja Takashi was used to being around, there was no need to act unfriendly.

“Thank you for allowing me the first turn,” Takashi smiled, responding to Masako’s offer. He bowed slightly towards Masako as again, that was the customary to do so before a battle and Takashi was a man of custom and rules. He raied his form back up to an upright position, took deep inhalation through his nose and immediately jumped away from Masako, making sure there was a good five foot distance between them.

Once his feet landed on the ground again, Takashi withdrew three hira shuriken-each between the wedges of his fingers- and threw it towards Masako aiming for his left knee cap. The wind from behind Takashi aided the speed of the shuriken, allowing them to go faster than they would in normal weather.
After the weapons left his hands, Takashi skipped four feet to his right then, then threw three more hira-shuriken in a similar way he had done before, this time aiming for Masako’s right arm.

“Go!” Takashi called, urging his weapons to hit.

[Masako]

The battle is about to begin. in Takashi's bewilderment masako straightens out "(COUGH)(COUGH) heh forgive me... it seems my emotions are finally starting to get the best of me" masako widens his eyes as Takashi thanks him. De nada. now please let's go. Masako start's reiterating his master's words. "some fight for a cause... some fight to survive... but we.... WE FIGHT TO FIGHT!!!!"

As masako snaps back into consciousness he thinks back to all the times he hadn't meditated and slowly realizing how badly it is going to bit him in the butt with his first fight in konoha finally commencing. Masako inhales the thick air and exhales. As he exhales he notices that Takashi was no longer next to him. Rather he was a good 5 feet from him

Witnessing this event Masako prepares for the absolute worst. Recalling another life lesson masako whispers to himself  " never underestimate the opponent... composure is key... slow and steady wins the race"

Thinking up any nursery rhyme, word of encouragement or any cheesy line to say to say to himself Masako opens his eyes to as wide as naturally possible. the fire in his eyes have calmed and he is ready to quench his thrist for battle.

The battle has commenced. Takashi has drawn out 3 of his Hira-shuriken and throws them from the wedges of his fingers. Masako's ears twitch as the wind picks up. as the Hira-shuriken speeds up due to the wind. masako pulls out his greatsword "damn.... i wasn't trying to take this bad boy out yet... HIYAHH!!!!" With an animated and ridiculous exclaim. masako stabs his greatsword down into the ground. after this action he leaps into the air with his feet clenched together at waist height.

As the hira-shuriken pass by his feet masako says to himself while staring at it pass beneath his feet "that was a close one"..

masako lands back on his feet in hopes ready to attack masako looks for his opponent and sees that he has leaped 4 feet to his right. As takashi throws his 3 shuriken masako ducks down and uses the passionate heat technique.

with the handseals made masako finally plants his hands on the ground and uses the technique to form a circle of fire that just starts off as in the form as perimeter but will soon fill entirely with flames that can burn through clothes. Afterwards masako throws his 2 of his kunais.
the hyperventilating Masako stands straight and smiles while saying (huff)(huff) take..... (huff) that (huff huff huff)

[sonic]

(OOC: You have to write the description of the jutsu you used so, I know what rank you're using it as etc etc)

The great sword Masako wielded was certainly no joke as he easily used it as a pole to dodge the oncoming shuriken. The corner of Takashi’s lips tugged into an admirable smirk, however there was no time to be in awe of Masako’s swiftness.

Masako was in the midst of knitting chakra so, Takashi took that moment to grab one kunai from his utility belt and whip it in Masako’s direction, purposefully aiming at his shoulder thus, disabling the activation of Passionate heat for if Masako were to take his time to finish the jutsu, he would certainly be hit in the shoulder.

Now, as the kunai flies directly towards Masako’s left shoulder, Takashi finally unsheathes his long sword and prepares for any counterattack Masako may have.

[sonic]

(OOC: Oh and I realized just now that when attacking, D-Class ninja are only allowed to make "three moves per round" For instance,

Takashi threw a kunai, swerved to the left then, kicked the air. That would be three moves for my round and I can't add anything else.

This doesn't count for defense though apparently)

[Masako]

(ooc: narutoforumrp.proboards.com/thread/61629 its different if your like a taijutsu specialist/non specialist/ ninjutsu specialist/master)


As masako is preparing to place his hands down the wind guided kunai comes towards his shoulder. not taking a risk masako screeches like a tyradactyl and rolls over to his side. masako looks upon his opponent and smiles. " this kid just had me flailing my fingers and hands together like a complete idiot.... like i said before. SO MUCH POTENTIAL!!!!! I'd better step my game up if i want to keep up. the thrill of fighting has unfortunately started to take over masako again very unlike him.


masako performs the snake hand sign and holds it for a brief moment and unleashes his c ranked tactical ninjutsu for offense and defense. "Raikou no ken!!!!!!" with this technique masako has diverted his chakra to his arms for three turns so with every connecting punch hand strike or hand block, a jolt of electrified chakra is sent from masako to takashi. the drawback is the obvious... water. Were a water clone or water or water type barrier or things of similar nature is attacked it backfires.

Masako throws his only makabishi spike onto the ground 3 feet from him infront of himself in order to slow and in anticipation for takashi's jump he leaps 4 feet into the air waiting for a mid-air strike with his electrified chakra sending hands.



Takashi.... im glad to have gotten the chance to spar with you. i'm sure you have alot of tricks up your sleeve so im ready. lets go. with every word and corny movie line masako awaits for takashi to attack while he is charging with his sword

that's a nice sword you got takashi. it's a sight to see.... let's see you make good youse of it Masako with the utmost confidence realizes that it's a sword coming for him but doesn't mind and watches takashi charge

[sonic]

(OOC: Sorry my bad. The first paragraph was actually referring to Masako when he jumpe into the air to dodge Takashi's shuriken. RIght now, Takashi is on the ground, preparing for Masako to attack)

[sonic]

(OOC: *sigh* Sorry bud :/ I'm still struggling with it)

[Masako]

(ooc: lol it's cool bro i got you. recap... sort of

-you threw 3 kunai's at 2 seperate times at me and moved 4 feet from your original location for your first attack

-i use my greatsword as a pole and jump up to dodge the first barrage of kunai and duck to dodge the second

-i also use passionate heat and throw kunai's at you

-you interrupted me and through a kunai at my left shoulder (cancelling my passionate heat and kunai) and charge with your sword

-i rolled and used raikou no ken to charge my hands and through makabishi spikes on the ground and finally jumped up in the hyopthetical that u try to jump over the spikes to attack you.

that's pretty much what happened)

[sonic]

(OOC: Thanks for being patient with me
Takashi only unsheathes his sword to prepare for a counterattack if Masako decides to do one. Takashi doesn't charge Masako)

[Masako]

(ooc: awww shoes in a box.... i think i read the non-edited version... i didnt realize you edited it until i was just about to quote you my bad bro it's on me)

[sonic]

(OOC: lol nahhhh bro, this is our first time sparring so, we're just learning through trial and error. I'm going to make sure to re-read my posts before I reply so, there is hopefully no need to edit)

[Masako]

(OOC: lol your right thanks man. this is my re-do for the part after you interrupt with the kunai to my shoulders to my passionate heat attempt)

masako charges at and uses the academy technique "BUNSHIN NO JUTSU (clone jutsu)" as a diversionary technique to confuse takashi and to gain any information during his opponents move. as two of them are charging from the sides the real masako leaps into the air ready clobber his opponent with a face full of electrified chakra

With all 3 masako's grinning they all scream " what are you ready for"

[sonic]

(OOC: I don't think Bunshin No Jutsu is an Academy Ninjutsu anymore. I think it use to be, but I checked and I can't find it listed under Academy Jutsu anymore)

[Masako]

(ooc: wow!!! your right. im amazed. it's not a technique anywhere)

Masako charges at takashi and uses jod muay stance and attacks with the ka jig khai

with a lightning fast left straight aiming at takashi's nose and inticaipating for the opponents dodge and counter attack will roll 3 feet from Takashi.

after the long and hard training masako looks to see if it will finally pay off. "The first time i've ever used this technique and im already rusty.... i should have practiced on those stumps over yonder.... Damn" masako thought to himself.

[sonic]

Takashi smiled, clearly over joyed that Masako had chosen to attack with his fist and not the great sword Takashi had been intimidated by only moments before. As masako is charging towards Takashi, the fair head genin weaved signs of his own.
Ox, Monkey, Rabbit, Tiger.

With the seals complete, Takashi energizes his hands with chakra and takes a deep breath, energizing his esophagus with chakra also. He cupped his hands over his mouth and let out a long breath, the oxygen combusted with the chakra and create a long stream of fire directed towards Masako and as the wind was still blowing, the fire spread in a crescent arc of two feet towards Masako’s torso.

“Fire Style: Inferno technique!”
The boy yelled.

SPOILER: Click to show

Fire Style: Inferno Technique
Rank: D
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Shoots small gout of flame towards the opponent.

Drawback: Requires the user to exhale and keep their dominant hand cupped over their mouths. Once the user is out of breath of moves their hand, the technique falls.
Description: The user performs the handseals, energizing their hand and their esophagus with chakra. The user then cups their hand over their lips and exhales. The oxygen being expelled from the lungs combusts upon reaching the chakra from the hand, and the user blows it out a maximum of ten feet away. This is different from the Goukakyou no Jutsu in the fact that this comes out as a stream and not a fireball, and also different from the fact that once the user stops breathing out or moves their hand, the technique ends.
Limit: Fire Release

[Masako]

As masako charges he sees the hands signs being weaved "oh hell nah!! VENDETTA!!!!!" masako comes to a screeching halt and whips out 3 kunais and holds them in his fingers through there holes. "oh yea baby!!! Charged projectile."with this technique by simply holding the kunais masako charges them electrically and if it connects will paralyze the user for a brief moment (quarter of a post)

lets see what these babies can do. Masako throws the 3 kunais at Takashi's left arm and right arm as well as his chest surely, to connect with takashi if he completes the jutsu. "Hand signs shall not be weaved today." masako shifts 7 feet to his right from his location and stares at takashi.

in the case that takashi moves out of the masako will leap back to his great sword for some good old fashioned sword fighting. but if not, the finally calm cool and collected masako. "i am just dying to see how far i really have come."

Masako's face grows more stern as he looks at his hands "crap..... a whole round wasted.... i have to connect.... or better yet... draw him in!!!." masako having thought he had figured it out viciously thought of how to draw in the opponent

[sonic]

(OOC: Hey, I don't mean to stop the sparring short, but would you like for Masako and Takashi to go on a mission together? I still need to accomplish several more in order to participate in Chuunin exams this April)
