like it was fate

Off the horizon there was a man walking on the ocean, the immediate question in your mind would be, "Is that Jesus?!" but no, that wasn't Jesus. The two of them were completely different. In his hands he held nothing, but his body carried a poncho, one that had been through many events. His body couldn't be seen; the only thing that could be seen was this poncho, his head, and his legs that were covered by some white cargo pants. He arrived in front of the boy that was assumed to be a Genin and he had a task for him. He revealed his left hand and shown it to the boy saying, "I want you to show me what you got," he smiled after saying this with a evil look on his face. "I will only use my left hand so that I don't do too much harm to you." With that said he waited for movement of the boy and stared at him with his whitish-blue eyes. He made sure to keep his right arm covered by the poncho; he didn't want to reveal anything or cause any harm with it.

As soon as the boy had revealed some kunais Niiro began to wonder if this fight would get good; he guessed it all depended on the strength/accuracy of the boy. Once the chakra string was formed to take hold of the kunais and lash them at Masuta, he kinda of coughed then dashed out of the way at a speed that was quite remarkable to the genin's eyes. It allowed the Jounin to get away from the kunai and move in on the right side of the Genin. His muscle on his left arm flexed as he lashed that same arm at the right arm of the Genin. He smiled as he was doing so because of his right arm still being at his side; he truly expected not to use that single arm for this fight only if he needed to. He watched the boy as he attacked and wondered if the Genin would be capable of dodging, or retaliating; it sure would be interesting to see.

Niiro was surprised that the boy was capable of dodging an attack like that, even though it wasn't very intense it should have been a little bit too much for the Genin. He figured that he would have to step his game up a little more in order to win this fight. The Special Jounin looked at the Genin release about ten kunai knives at him, but it wasn't anything Niiro couldn't handle. He jumped backwards out of the way of the kunai, watching them fly into the depths of the water. He quickly jumped up towards the Genin while they were still in their attacking motion; Niiro was immediately in front of the Genin, driving his elbow towards the collar bone of the young one. He remained to keep his right arm at his side for the simple fact that he didn't want things to get out of hand. He began to wonder how long this would go on for, but this was a test indeed.

kichi was floughting in the air as niiro jumped out of the way of the kunai and then went after kichi. kichi was geting prepaired for what to was happen and then out of no where he was right in front of kichi. kichi's only reaction was to flinch and his chakra wing was hit and shattered and put a little pain in to the shoulder and kichi went flying in to the water. as he was falling he used the other wing that wasn't broken to brake his fall. as kichi landed he slid across the water and evenchuely stoped and got up. with pain in his shoulder but not to much to enough to make a diffrence."wow your strong i was going to be a gonner if it wasn't for those chakra wings" kichi then grabed a scroll and opened it up and showed a hand sign and said "release". then out of smoke a puppet appeared and kichi attached chakra strings to the puppet and its mouth opened and a group of 50 senbon was sent out and then it's armes went up and sat there waiting for niiros next move.

Niiro was pretty surprised that the boy was able to withstand the attack but at the same time he was glad that the boy was capable of keeping a good defense; they needed no weak Shinobi. He coughed as he watched the Genin crash into the water skidding back a little bit. As he floated down towards the water the Genin had summoned a wooden creature that he had not seen before; he figured that it had to be some kind of marionette. Suddenly, the thing had released weapons that had surrounded Masuta, but oddly not a single one had hit him; the thing's aiming mechanism must have been off a little bit. Niiro landed back on the water making sure not to let himself fall into the water. He unsheathed one of his katanas with his left hand. After spinning the sword so that the tip of the blade was facing the Genin he waited for the next move of the young one. He made sure to keep an eye on both the wooden thing and the Genin; he couldn't make any mistakes.

Kichi watched as the man dodge the senbon the senbon landed not too far from the man before they sunk kichi use a few hand signs and the senbon transformed in to paper with writing on it. Then as soon as they were made kichi made the puppet slowly release a senbon in to its palm and kichi did a few hand signs and it transformed in to a katana that resembled niiro's katana. Then out of a blink of an eye the paper with writing on it exploded and blinded the field. the final move that kichi made before he would what for niiro to make a move was the puppet was running at niiro with the katana was being held behind the puppets body getting ready to strike.

Nishi sighed as he watched from afar, though precise distance was unnecessary for him to measure, all he knew was that he was far off enough to avoid any stray attack hitting him. He had an idea, though he was bored and didn't really want to stay in the village, his idea had lead him here, while on his way for some solo training else where. Having stumbled upon a battle, or spar, no matter the manner of fight he could tell the differences in class among them. The battle experience each one had appeared slightly clearer to him, but what intrigued him the most was the fact that the other one, who was obviously a genin, was still trying his best, a quality he admired. 'Eh, I won't interfere, but maybe I'll try a lil tag team from this far off.......Though it seems as if it's two on one..........but judging by the movements of the other, I'd say I was being decieved.' He smirked and cracked his knuckles, then his neck, and finally began to move, circling like a hungry shark eying for an opening, his eyes flickering in the slight mist, his white hair dancing as he began to pick up the pace.

The genin was slowing down, this was his opportunity! His cape cluttered, the dark skinned shark of the mist formed a single seal, the mist thickened as he raced towards the other genin. 'Water Style: Hidden Mist Technique.' Though he was sure that he might be mistaken for an enemy, he wasn't going to let a fellow mist ninja be defeated so easily. Quickly a mist would set in, covering his form while he hid within. It wouldn't last long so he knew he had to be quick, rushing behind the genin he patted him on his shoulder, giving him a sign that would show his friendship. He had to be careful though, with his tanto in his right hand and his left on the shoulder of the other guy he would whisper silently. "Shhhhhh, I'm here to help, three on one is a waaay better circumstance that many people get in our field of duty." Though he spoke in a low tone, he kept his guard up knowing that even a whisper was enough for a skilled ninja to track their location.

As the explosion was caused he figured it would be in his best interest to attack now while he still had some kind of advantage. With the explosion he flew through the air in the direction of the puppet, slashing towards the center of the wooden creature at an amazing speed, but he didn't stop there. As that attack had went on he ran at the Genin while he still had some momentum then noticed that there was a mist moving in so he stopped running and stood there looking around to figure out what was going on, but he had to continue on with his fight. While the mist was moving in he had noticed that the boy was still there where he was standing after his second attack. He knew that it was time to keep going.

He ran towards the Genin once again at an amazing speed to make it seem as if he disappeared then reappear over the left shoulder of the Genin he had first encountered. As he hovered there for a moment he had noticed that there was someone else there that he had not seen before; he figured that this guy was assisting the Genin that he was initially fighting, so that meant more fun for Niiro. He swung the blunt end of the sword downward towards the newcomer and at the same time he would thrust his left foot backwards at the back of the Genin he was originally fighting. He smiled while this was going on because he knew things would get interesting.

The quick actions that was taken by Kichi somehow allowed him to perceive what was now going on, he studied the movements of the genin then realized that the man was attacking. His opponent's speed wasn't something to take lightly, but he knew that this was going to be the deciding start of his entrance in this battle. Nishi quickly saw the sword coming towards him, thanks to his guard being up and instinctively raised his tanto tilted in a way that would make the sword of the opponent would slide off upon contact, while simultaneously, he would raise his fist, which clenched the sword, upward giving more of a parry to his actions. He would then spin and jump, raising his right leg over the head of the other genin in an attempt to kick the opponent in the chest. Meanwhile, his left hand would be used to give him extra balance and better movement while initiating his attack.

Akki was drawn to the battle by the sound of two clashing. It has been awhile since he had a good fight and his muscles were tense with anticipation. As he arrived on one side of the battle a mist was coming in from the other side. Obviously another figure had come. well my dear boy it seems we should even out this fight, shouldnt we? Akki nodded ever so slightly and a maniacal cackle echoed through his mind. Akki drew his katana and formed a quick handsign for precautions unbeknowest to many who havent gone through the series of unfortunate events Akki has been through. As the mist rolled forward Akki moved forward against it. He came not far from the group of three shinobi, stopping behind the obvious one aginst the two, and waited for him to fall back as he blended in with the darkened area, awaiting his moment to speak and offer help..

Niiro had successfully slashed the puppet completely in half; he watched the puppet pieces fall into the water only to float back up to top of the ocean; he now had one less thing to worry about. He now had to worry about the movements of the two Genins, or at least who he believed were Genins, that he was now fighting. He had avoided the stabbing of the Genin he was initially fighting against because he was already behind him when he did the motions. He had also avoided the kick of the boy because he had successfully kicked him in the back as well which sent him flying in the opposite direction that Niiro was facing in; he heard the skidding of body on water, but now he had to worry about the other one. With the sound of metal striking metal he also saw some sparks from the two blades; this one might be the toughest out of the two challengers. He knew that the fun times were rolling in. A cough was heard throughout the actions as well.

When the other challenger had pushed his sword up some it had also allowed Niiro to be pushed off to the side some. With this push, Niiro had rolled his blade off of the blade of the tanto which allowed him to roll of to the side of the Genin. He landed feet first on the water, and had avoided the kick of the Genin, and dashed forward only to do a backflip off of the water by focusing an amount of chakra into his feet that was enough to force him up and over the two Genin and even cause a small explosion of water. He landed back where he was before he had attacked the puppet and had noticed that there was another guy on the scene. He didn't know where the guy came from or if he was going to help or not so he said to the kid, "So are you here to help them or me? Speak now." After he said that he dashed a glance at the third boy with his whitish-blue eyes then looked back to the other two Genin and wondered if he would be forced to use his right hand. He sheathed his katana and waited for their next move.

Kichi had been struck in the back and skidded across the water towards where his puppet lied in half and then out of the mist another figure entered the battle field. "Why would this happen to me". Then kichi took out three scrolls and laid them in front of kichi's feet on the his puppet that was now in half. "Okay now you’re going to get it" out of the scrolls 10 senbon flew out and kichi quickly did hand signs. the senbon then tranformed in to giant star shuriken then kichi took out chakra strings and attach them to the shurikens and waved them around at the two other shinobi that weren't on kichi's side. Then the shurikens surrounded the two of them one above the head and the other four neck level getting closer and closer each second. Kichi then said "this is going to be tougher then you think."

Nishi heard the presence of another, though he was at first relieved to see that he was probably not the only one who would come to the help of his fellow genin, however, he was wrong as it seemed that he would have to fight another person, if this person so desired. He smirked as he could tell this was going to get a bit better, and possibly help to exceed his latest expectations. 'I might actually have a chance to defeat this guy...........but thats possibly by accident.' He smirked as he watched his first opponent kick the other genin, knocking him off his feet and sending him across the water. "Tsk tsk tsk......" But it wasn't over yet, he would need to step up his current skill level. The first guy dashed at him, quickly he withdrew and tossed a kunai, which would miss and head behind him to the other guy as the first guy jumped over him. He kept his eyes on him as he noticed that it seemed that he increased the chakra in his feet momentarily. Nishi wondered if he would be able to do the same, he knew that he could increase his speed this way, but he never knew whether or not he could do it on water. But he would have to try.

Nishi smirked as he focused more chakra into his feet and darted towards the guy who had put away his katana. His burst of speed was acknowledged by the sudden explosion of water in his wake, during which he reached into his shuriken pouch, retrieving three shuriken in his left hand. AS he moved he yelled out to the guy who he was helping out originally. "Hey......w/e your name is! Back me up, but stay on your guard.....team work will get us through this!" As he spoke he held his tanto in reverse as he also stuck his index and middle finger up, this movement increased the thickness of the mist just as he had reached his intended target, and in the same movement he released the three shuriken, his movements never decreasing in speed but changing direction to circling around his opponent, creating a slight wall of water, enclosing him and closing off an escape route. His mind was on the guy who he was helping, he hoped that he wouldn't get his ass kicked anymore, but he was also weary of the other guy, he wondered who's side he was on. Though he kept his guard up, there was only so much that he could do at once.

Akki answered the man as he asked the question. "you..." At that moment was when the first opponent let loose the shuriken. Akki looked up at the flying weapons, his headband covering his eyes yet still able to see clearly what was going on. Akki sighed and did a facepalm. shall we then...?" Akki smirked as he nodded to the voice in his head. Starting off he pushed more chakra out of his feet, making a small burst of water pop up. He then body flickered toward the now circling enemy, getting in his path. While moving he formed another handsign, different from the first. In his head he spoke demon hand jutsu. Two large demonic hands formed in mid air and stayed by Akki. When Akki was in fron of the circlinnng opponent he stopped and one of the hands raised in a gesture of telling someone to stop. Akki held his katana in one hand and the other stayed at the ready, while the free demonic hand was flecing and unflexing ready to move at a moments notice.

As soon as the Shurikens had taken their place on the scene, Niiro sunk into the ocean never to be seen for about ten seconds; by doing this he successfully moved out of the way of attacks from the two challengers. The Special Jounin then reappeared literally floating out of the ocean. As he came out of the ocean he placed his feet firmly on the body of water by focusing chakra into his feet. He coughed and walked towards the first challenger. He then said out loud, "It would seem that I will have to be using my right arm." After that was said he removed his poncho revealing a black muscle shirt and his three weapons, two katanas and Han'i Ma. Around his right arm was this silver, ribbon-like thing. He coughed a smile then disappeared; the fun began here.

He soon reappeared directly in front of the Genin he was originally fighting and a fist was sent in the form of a thrust directly at the boy's chest; as a matter of fact it was his dominant fist. He was surprised that they had forced this out of him, but he figured that the new test was to not use any jutsu besides his excessive Body Flicker skills. He coughed and wondered how this fight would turn out and how much chakra this kid was packing. This would definitely become interesting with time.

the man just disapeared kichi looked all over the place for him but he was no where to be found. kichi quickly used his jutsu that was still in affect and his body was renforced with chakra armor and and he took hit chackra stings and attached them to a chakra rod and swong it around himself and then he had a two layer protection form the two that were coming at him. then with kichi's other hand 20 chakra string came out of his palm then 10 suddently dissapeard and 10 senbon were sent out of the scrolls. each one was chaught but the strings that kichi had made. kichi's eyes widened but then shook it off then in the back of his mind kichi thought to himself "your not going to last much longer this is going to drain you kichi". final move kichi made before he was to wait for what the two were going to do kichi sent the senbon to where the space needed to be feeled then spread out the senbon around to fill the space. then breathing heavly kichi said " that all you got."

Nishi had gotten a bonus, it seemed that the kunai he had thrown at the first opponent (Noru) had accidentally hit the one behind him(Akki). A blood trail showed from the shallow stomach wound. Nevertheless, he knew that it wouldn't be enough to stop him, or slow him down enough. Though he couldn't directly see, he just knew that his opponent was going to appear someone closer than he thought. The subtly ripples in the water from his opponent going under alerted him to something, that if he wasn't immediately attacking him, then the other genin was in trouble. He stuck out like a sore thumb, even in the mist. 'Gaah, he's such a genin, I wonder how long he can last at this rate......It's obvious that this guy is a higher class than a chuunin, but the new guy, he seems a bit 'fresh' probably just a chuunin but idk can't be too sure.' Nishi sighed as he had to take quick actions, to assess the situation better he stopped and focused on sounds, he could hear the movements of his 'Partner' easily, but the subtle movements of the other guy were a bit harder to perceive, but he got the situation, to an extent. Meanwhile, the smell of the other guy's blood lingered a bit in the air.

With all his skills with speed and using his chakra, he thought about moving to help the poor guy, but he would need to help in some kinda way. He would just have to help indirectly, the fresh blood smell would still be noticable, he would form three seals, having stopped before to assess the situation, he sniffed, noting the blood smell coming from the air. Quickly, his left hand went to his mouth as he sent a gushing steam of high pressure water to the location of the other guy, though this was just his starting warm-up he would not let this be the greater and have something to follow up. His feet and precautions would not allow him to stay where he was as he was on the move, seemingly gliding up towards the heavens. His over goal was to let his opponent feel the powah of his almight epicness, having sent a basic water technique, and having pumped a bit more chakra into it, made it more powerful. Nishi would have to stay on his guard however, something was not right.

(Just connecting a small hit no biggie)

Akki realized he was bleed and cursed himself for not realizing it. The wound wasnt bad at all bt the scent of blood started to waft along the air. The free hand grabbed what item was sticking out of his back. When he pulled it around he saw the kunai, covered with HIS blood. Akki smiled and performed a quick handsign. demon synthesis. The blood seeped into the kunai, altering its color and shape into a more demonic looking weapon. Akki quickly threw it at the shinobi he was facing, and watched it fly past the water torrent that was now forming and heading at him. The demonic hands moved forward and together, makin an angle. The water hit the hands, moving along the angle and back into the ocean. A small swell lifted and then dropped Akki only a slight distance. Since he was trained to Akki thought of body flickering to get closer, but that would be a waist. He could tell this shinobi was going to do something, so he waited. and you know i hate doing that...

(only allowed the hit cuz it helped me with the jutsu XP)

A small hint of blood could be smelt in the air, and that was all Niiro needed to get things going; he was officially hyped up from that scent. Whenever he had smelled the scent of blood it was as if it was his muse to kill all, or at least his opponent(s). His pupils dilated and he disappeared to completely avoid the attack of his opponent, but he was completely acting on his on peer strength and adrenaline. With that being said he jabbed at the spinal cord of the first Genin and as he attacked one could see this devilish look in his eyes. He now only wanted to kill, but would he be able to control this feeling; I doubt it.

Kichi was starting to get wary and tired as he saw that they were closing in on him. Kichi thought quickly as he could what to do, what to do. Kichi then made the giant wind shuricans move faster and faster and then before they moved fast enough the elder shinobi got through the line and attempted to hit Kichi so Kichi quickly thickened the chakra shield that was protecting him and moved it to his back where the shinobi what attacking him. Then once Kichi was hit he fell over and passed out because he ran out of chakra and couldn't last any longer. Kichi’s life flashed in front of him in this point and could see his parents in the distance but got farther and farther away and then everything went blank. Kichi’s heart was still beating but was only unconsents.

Nishi heard a splash and the thumping sound of fighting, he quickly associated it with the downfall of the other genin, though his combative sense told him to keep in fighting the good fight and go down in a blaze of glory, however; he couldn't let the other genin just fall without any form of retaliation or obvious compassion. Nevertheless, he had to stay focused on his own little part of the battle, he sighed as he spun quickly, allowing the weapon to barely knicking him, but still ripping a large hole in his clothes. His target had been slightly moved by the water motions caused both by him and the ocean. 'Now's my chance!' Quickly Nishi thickened the mist drastically, while simultaneously throwing two shuriken at the enemy. Taking to the air as he paused his jutsu, holding it in, the minute the mist thicken.

He cursed under his breath, knowing that the other genin was probably knocked out already, judging by sounds he heard earlier. His mind raced on the proper action he would need to take to save the other genin, but his own fate wasn't looking too good either, witha 2 on 1 situation now at hand, he wasn't sure if his own skills would be enough to take down the both of them, or even escape this predicament. Either way he wasn't going to stand down and surrender, too much pride, still Nishi could think about it. 'Shit! With that guy down, that leaves me with two enemies to face of a higher rank, this isn't turning out well, fuck! idk what to do....should I go to help him? No, that would just get us both killed or worse.....fighting them both 2v1 is still kinda suicide for someone like me......shit idk what to do....gaaaaaaaaah! fuck it.!'
