New Swordsmen [Flashback]

Hisoka learned quickly that the safest place to be as one of the Seven Swordsmen was the was Yukigakure. But the only problem he had was that he had yet to meet anyone else who was part of this so-called organization. He wore his Faiāītā strapped to his shoulders, where a simple cross of his arms, grab of the hilts, and a quick pull would allow him to easily pull out his weapons when needed. They were strapped to his shoulders however beneath his jacket, which kept them hidden from site in most situations.

"I thought I'd fill fufilled after I got these blades, but.. I'm just straight up bored." Hisoka said aloud as he walked the streets of Yukigakure.

The masked Kazumi made his way slowly down the streets of Yuki, he was, indeed the suspicious looking man, mostly by the cloak he wore, and the massive blade attached to his back. Just looking at him one could probably assume he was apart of some sword wielding group of exceptional shinobi all originally from Kirigakure, turned Missing Nin. Yes, this is the vibe he gave, so it wouldn't be hard for the man he saw to assume he belonged to such a group. He could hear the words the man spoke, and he mentioned blade, which peeked Kazumi's interest quite a bit. He'd not met all the swordsmen and possibly this man could be one of the one's he's never met. He did have a blade after all. "Bored you say? With a blade like that, ha, you must not be using it right...or have come upon a person who can equal and surpass your skills with a weapon." Kazumi said this as he grasped the hilt of Soriken, clinging to it tightly, and bringing it forward from his back. "This is Soriken, the 'Warpsword.' It says hi." The man's light voice enshrouded his intentions with bringing his blade forward, instead of just a simple motion, the man struck down on Hisoka, his chakra already flowing through the blade, which augmented with an extremity to bisect steel. "I'm gonna test your skills with your blade, to see if you could be a Seven Swordsmen, like me," the man said quite after he'd made the starting blow, which came down in such a blur to where the blade's location was hardly recognizable, it actually blended in with the wind. And the cliche sound of a blade ripping through the air didn't resonate, instead it sounded as if a dimensional vortex had ripped the fabric of space and time where the blade was swung. "OH!..I forgot to mention, you don't want to clash with Soriken, it'll rip your little blade in half sadly..."

Kazumi had immediately raised the blade of Soriken after it crashed into the ground, at that point his opponent had been gaining some distance. "And you call yourself a real swordsmen, running away like that," the man said licking his lips from under his ominous mask. Kazumi smashed his Soriken into the ground with ease, and released it to halter its vibrations so it would simply stay there. He created a Horse seal watching as the knuckle blades were pointed at him, this caused a corrosive vapor to seep from his mouth profusely and spread to cover their entire vicinity, all around the mist would spread, and even cover over Hisoka's location. Kazumi retrieved Soriken, placing his chakra into it for an easy removal. As the fireball was shot, Kazumi created a Ram seal, holding Soriken under his left under-pit, using the body flicker technique afterwards to appear at Hisoka's flank and avoid the fireball. Simply grasping Soriken's hilt from his under-pit with his right hand, he created a mighty horizontal thrust with said blade towards Hisoka's midsection. The blade still keen with chakra flowing through it.

As the blade went under Hisoka's feet, Kazumi simply released his grip on the hilt, sending the blade flying into the wall of a nearby building, being stuck in the foundation. He looked up to see Hisoka forming the horse seal and formed the Ram seal, performing the body flicker just before Hisoka exhaled out the fireball, evading the giant fireball which smashed into the ground and created a large crater afterward. Kazumi appeared next to the building from which Soriken had smashed into, applying his hand to the hilt, and chakra into the blade easily removing it, and placing it on his back. "It seems to me like you don't want to use weapons in this fight, i'll fight you a different way then." He formed the tiger seal stimulating an acridness into the air from where he was standing which was only 5 meters from where Hisoka was standing. He then removed a Kunai wrapped with an explosive tag from his pocket, quickly gaining another 20 meters from where he was standing away from Hisoka as the mist continued to spread over to where he was and the nearby buildings were also melting slowly.

This was quite perfect indeed, Hisoka, had maneuvered into the perfect position for Kazumi's O3 attack to come to fruition. Exactly when the first fireball exited the mouth of Hisoka an instant fit of combustion exploded out, and covered 15 meters in circumference around where Hisoka was standing, meaning Hisoka would be at the very center of the explosion, and it was highly unlikely he would escape unscathed. Since the first volley was used as the catalyst for combustion it had disappeared into the explosion. As more of the shots of fire were spat out and attempted to surround him from every direction, Kazumi performed the Ram seal and body flickered before the balls could completely surround him. Then as the balls of fire collided, Kazumi appeared a few feet away from his last position, waiting as the fires died down completely and created yet another tiger seal stimulating more acridness into the air, then directly after Kazumi backed back another good 15 meters, still holding the Kunai wrapped with an explosive tag. "You did imply you wanted a ranged battle."

Hisoka's attacked exploded, some way another. The explosion pushed him back off of the building, and onto the ground. While being kind enough to burn him too.. Great. Kazumi in the mean time avoided the attack, likely with another damned flicker. Hisoka fell from the building, and onto the ground. Back into the mist which started to burn away at his skin once again. Not having time to lie in pain, Hisoka got up, burnt and boiling and fled out of the range of the gas. Leaving its reach, he rested on his knees as he gasped for air and stared at Kazumi. He didn't know if he could fight much longer, he was pretty roughed up. Plus the first jutsu he used is known to take a lot of chakra. The worst part was that Kazumi had not been damaged in the slightest.

A crow flies around and lands on Hisoka's crispy head and perches itself there as it starts throwing the moves and doing some backflips around with some other stunts, and then it stops.

"Caw caw caw!*"

(Translation: You got SERVED.)

Then it proceeded to fly away from the crispy Uchiha.

Kazumi threw the Kunai which he held in his hands directly at the resting Hisoka's right eye. But before It could even completely reach him the tag ignited in the vicinity of the gas causing a great explosion and sending hundreds of particles of shrapnel from the Kunai in Hisoka's direction, many aimed directly at him, but to avoid this attack it would require the sharingan so he wasn't hit by a particle while trying to escape even with a body flicker. "This is what a ranged battle gets you."

As the smoke and debris cleared, "Ah.. I see whats going on." He looked directly in the eyes of Hisoka, viewing the man's new found sharingan. "That last attack should have killed you, but it seems you are skilled with a blade or should I say your eyes. I want to see the two tomoe." Kazumi removed two more Kunai's with explosive tags attached to their handles. "I'll force you to awaken it," he said as he hurled both Kunai's directly at Hisoka's mid-chest. But just like last time the Kunai's exploded directly before they got to him, and instead sent shrapnel directly at and around Hisoka, except for this time it was twice as much metal particles. The explosions happened so as to where Hisoka wouldn't be harmed from the explosion itself, but the pieces of metal being hurled toward him at blinding speeds. "I suppose you could actually be another seven swordsmen, although I haven't seen it from you much so far, those blades are pretty nice I guess."

"Heh..I'm done here, you should be grateful, I helped you awaken your powers, you're ready to go on some missions now, new found comrade." Kazumi shifted from his position walking towards Hisoka. "I have some business to take care of but, how you are now, I'll accept you as a partner on a mission some time." The man clasped his hands together in his final jutsu, he disappeared as the corrosive mists dispersed, ironically in another body flicker.
