__ When Kojiro yelled that he was ready Kenshin would raise his blade. "En garde!" The ocular veins around his eyes tensed as his Byakugan activated with ease from his thoroughbred noble Hyuuga line. As Kojiro flew across the arena Kenshin would force chakra out of every one of his tenketsu points before stabilizing it. Swirling chakra covered Kenshin in a heavenly armor that coated his entire body. It was a mini heavenly spin of sorts acting as a potent Hyuuga chakra armor that Kenshin maintained with ease. The dust on the floor was forced into the air from the charging younger warrior. He held his rapier out at the blunt end and stepped to his left as Kojiro spun his blade and attacked him to his right. Kojiro's sword would slide off of the rapier causing him to lose balance. Sparks flew off of the steel of both swords belonging to the clashing warriors. The chakra from his blade and the concussive blast would be resisted by his firm stance. Kenshin lost his hearing and was surprised by the incredible concussive power of the lightning. He was far from underestimating his pupil, but that ability was far from his expectations and he could appreciate the righteous quality of the emerald lightning. Kenshin would now return the favor and go on the offensive. His right arm was charged with chakra as he lunged at Kojiro from his left at an angle. Should he have lost his balance from spinning into his sideways parry then this would catch him even further off guard. Ten slashes would be swung aimed exclusively for Kojiro's torso. Each slash left behind an after image of the incredibly fast succession of sword strikes. Kojiro's incredible force would be met by his sensei in equal amounts to truly test him.

Technique Used: β’ Eight Trigrams: Heavenly Armor By releasing a massive amount of chakra of B-S+ rank from his own tenketsu points using gentle fist methods Kenshin creates a coating of swirling chakra over his skin. It is essentially a condensed version of the Heavenly Palm Rotation so knowledge of that technique is required. This chakra acts as a shield which lasts for a duration of six of his posts. ___β A [ Overwhelming, Spiritual, 1/6 Posts ] β’ Sideward Parry Taking a small step to the side and bringing up the dull side of the rapier, the user lets the opponent's weapon slide along the blunt side of the sword. If used at or above the rank of the opponentβs attack, the opponent continues forward and falls flat on their face. The user gains a slight increase to reflex per rank of the technique. ___β S [ Simple ] β’ Illusory Sword Dance The swordsman charges their sword arm with chakra then slashes rapidly at the target, with the attack speed increased by a supreme amount. This attack executes 10 slashes in the time it would take do perform one.Should the first slash go undefended, the remainder are assured to hit. ___β A [ Complex, +E-Rank chakra for after images ] Technique Active: β’ [ Technique Name ] ___β [ Rank ]
Personal Attributes β’ Piercing Accuracy | The clansman is more proficient than his fellow clan members at striking tenketsu. One's gentle fist application allows them to reduce 1.5 times the amount of chakra spent in a jyuken strike instead of 1.25. For example, if one spends 100 chakra on a gentle fist technique, the attack robs the target of 150 instead of the 125 normal clansmen would reduce. β’ Purest Lineage | The clansman's thoroughbred lineage allows them access to the Byakugan without the use of a hand seal, chakra cost, or activation. In addition, should they unlock the Tenseigan, they may have 50% less reserves to maintain it than other clan members and may also activate the Tenseigan without the use of a hand seal, chakra cost, or activation. β’ Physical Prowess | The Hyuuga gains a slight increase to reflex OR speed per body rank. This totals in a supreme increase for one or a moderate increase for both at S-Rank. In addition, the user gains a single custom slot to be used exclusively for the gentle fist style and one taijutsu slot. β’ Armory of Justice | Kenshin receives one free custom weapon.
Nuibari Attributes β’ Infinite Needles | While Nuibari functions perfectly fine as a long, thin blade that sits between a Jian and a Foil. It's comprised of infinite, instantly replenishing needles. If an opponent is stabbed, the blade will leave several needles inside of the opponent. It also never runs out of string either, with one at the base of the weapon, and one attached to each needle. Similarly, unhindered, the weapon always comes back when thrown for the techniques below, and can be pulled to the user free of activation via its wire so long as the nigh-invisible string is not cut. β’ Thread the Needle | This skill increases the speed of the wielder moderately while Nuibari is wielded.

Having taken several more lofty swings with his hammer, Takashi paused to rest his arms, not wanting to over work them. It was during this pause that he caught sight of an older man putting on quite the fiery display. While the initial flurry of flames was impressive, it wasn't until the flames began to take the shape of an actual object that Takashi's face lit up with amazement. He could hardly believe his eyes as the flames settled and in their place, the man now held a fully formed spear. Oh, and what a spear it was. Its design was unlike any he had ever seen, and he had seen plenty of spears in his time spent in his family's workshop. Whoever made it had to be a craftsman of unbelievable caliber, something far beyond his current level.
As rude as it was to stare, Takashi simply couldn't help himself, his mouth even hanging a bit ajar out of sheer awe. Though, as spectacular as the man's movements were, his amazement was less about the wielder and more about the weapon itself. Seeing how smoothly and effortlessly the man was able to maneuver it, the weight and build of the spear had to be near perfection, if not a complete masterpiece. What he wouldn't have given to get a closer look at it, or dare he even dream, hold it in his own two hands.
β’Suddenly in the midst of their combat what would appear to be a static translucent image of Toso would appear betwixt them. In one hand he'd have the illicit material Kojiro had delivered giving it a rather inquired look as opposed to the people in the room. Since the two were on their way so quickly he hadn't the time to inquire after having analyzed what was brought to him. You see the mission wasn't something so simple on the surface as to 'fetch lascivious materials for you kage.' So while the tension between them was indeed great between this student and master Toso would cut through it like a misplaced butter knife. How did Toso find them? Why with what was essentially the village-wide monitoring device whose name was far to long to remember.
"Officer Kosei, I wanted a word with you as my advisory. Do you think it too radical of me if I made a law prohibiting this illicit material from sale? I find it personally offensive bloop. Ah, that and banning the import and sale of cephalopod based food products? Oh?" The astral projection of Toso would then actually realize what was occurring in the Dojo at the time with the two young men having their blades drawn at one another. Blinking twice. "Oh am I intruding? I humbly apologize. Another time then bloop." Toso would perform an apologetic half bow before his astral projection disappeared. Perhaps this moment would have created an ideal opening of which to take advantage.

Kojiro would see Kenshin's occular veins appears as he rushed towards him for his previous attack. The appearence of the Byakugan would be worrisome but it was not unexpected. ' You can still do this!' he thought to himself. While his Crashing Wake had indeed delivered the concussive blast, Kenshin was able to endure being blown away. ' Move, move move! Don't let give an easy target!' He thought. The force of Kenshin's parry combined with the rotational armor he had dawned would send Kojiro forcefully in the direction of Kenshin's parry. Rather than working against the grain of the impact, Kojiro would lunge with it, preforming a lengthy front flip in that direction, doing so would place him outside the range of Kenshin's flurry of strikes. Landing in a crouched position fifteen feet away and pivoting back to face Kenshin, Kojiro would see the illusory images of his teacher, each strike of his rapier had appeared to be just outside of Kenshin's reach to Kojiro. For a moment, it appeared as though Kenshin's strikes had pierced the image of Toso but it seemed to vanish...perhaps Kojiro imagined it? Kojiro's eyes would widen as a small red line formed across his cheek, a grazing glance of the rapiers blows.
With no hesitation between the blows, Kojiro's blade would be released from his hand, whirring the distance between them as it sparked with emerald lightning. As Kenshin would focus Kojiro's flying blade, the boy would vanish from sight, appearing directly behind Kenshin with sparks dancing across the floor. For any normal foe, Kojiro's attack would be targeting a vital blind spot. Kojiro knew with his teacher's Byakugan however that there was no chance of such a weakness. Using his blade that remained in his right hand, with his left handed blade flying toward's Kenshin's front he would slice at Kenshin's back. Using the now free'd left hand he would open his palm towards the incoming blade. The blade that Kenshin would have to avoid from the front was cloaked in a vibrant green lightning aura that sounded like thousands of birds chirping in unison. His Call of Lightning technique, paired with the technique of his Silent Breeze technique of the Kazekiri Style would prove a favored combination as it drew his chidori sword back to his hand, directly through the path of Kenshin's body as it spun rapidly. Atop it's cutting potential, impact with this lightning based technique would release yet another powerful concussive blast that would throw Kenshin.
Way of the Hatake | Rank E | Passive The clan member can convert simple Formless Taijutsu and Bukijutsu to complex techniques, this adds the lightning element to all the user's techniques. In addition, Formless complex and spiritual techniques gain this lightning affinity as well if specified when utilizing the technique.
Formless Dodge | Rank A | Simple A formless front flip preformed after Kenshin's parry to avoid the incoming illusory sword dance technique.
Silent Breeze | Rank B | Simple [ S Rank w/DR ] The user hurls a blade directly at their target, using this as a diversionary tactic. Just as the blade would reach the target, the user vanishes using a shushin type movement. In tandem, the user slashes with the remaining blade from the target's blind spot. Using this technique consumes a use of the RPC body flicker count for a fight.
Call of Lightning | Rank A | Spiritual The user holds their hand out towards a weapon that is not under the influence of any other person or foreign chakra. The weapon targeted will be be surrounded by thin wisps of electricity that are connected to the user's hand, pulling the weapon back to themselves. This can be used at C rank to apply a rapid spinning effect to the blade the blade, slicing anyone in it's path. By paying an A rank amount of chakra, the user may treat this as a Chidori technique, applying it's cutting effects and other abilities to the blade while it whirls through the air, safely landing back in their hand.

__ While the flurry of ten sword strikes were loosed it seemed that an astral projection image of Toso appeared. Kenshin's adrenaline was pumping extremely in the heat of battle as he watched Kojiro skillfully lunge away from the parry. He was unable to hear and comprehend Toso's words before he disappeared. When Kojiro threw one of his swords at him and instantly appeared behind him, Kenshin was impressed by the clever combination. "Well done." He complimented his prodigious pupil internally. The blade flew through the air as Kojiro appeared behind him. Suddenly, the sword was glowing in green lightning with the sound of chirping birds. This was another skill of Kojiro's bloodline of course. After waiting for a split second rather than relying on instinct, Kenshin perfect timed his counter. He spun his body and released a rotation of hundreds of slashes from his sword with a twenty-foot orb of cutting chakra surrounding him. The Chidori imbued sword would clash with the rotation and be knocked away in the opposite direction disarming Kojiro in the process. The sonic boom would collide with the orb in the clash but would remain unaffected because of the powerful chakra. The chakra orb would also easily counter the downward slash aimed for his back. Kenshin continued his spin and Kojiro would need to find some way to avoid the slashes and thrusts from his blade. There was a combination of twenty slashes and thrusts from Purity aimed for Kojiro's body in the rotation. The slicing chakra rotation that greatly expanded out in all directions would also take great skill to counter or avoid. Rotating chakra also remained on Kenshin's body as yet another line of defense.

Belamos was the whirlwind- stabbing, parrying and striking out in rapid succession. At one point he threw the spear, impaling a wooden target dummy and setting it alight. As he flipped through the air the weapon combust and reappeared in his grip. As he landed on the ground he pivoted and began to strike out...only to pause mid-thrust as his spearpoint came within a few inches of a genin bystander. Belamos paused, frozen mid-attack, as he realized how close he had just came to killing this kid. After a moment of thankful confusion he twirled the spear and let it drop to his side "My apolgies, child" He said, planting the butt of the lance on the ground and holding it out "I did not notice you there"

As Takashi continued to watch the spearman, he found himself mesmerized by the weapon's movements, the way it effortlessly sliced through the air. It was amazing to see it impale one of the training dummies and set it ablaze. Even more impressive was to watch the weapon combust in a brilliant display, only to reappear in the man's hand shortly after. In fact, he was so enthralled by this display that he didn't even notice that the man had moved towards him. At least, not until the head of the spear was mere inches from his face.
Frozen, Takashi glanced up at the man, then back at the spear. He was without words as excitement and terror both swirling violently within him. Thankfully, the man did eventually pull back his weapon, offering Takashi his apologies. Still, despite no longer being in danger, Takashi remained in a state of shock, his eyes fixated on the spear that had nearly claimed his life. "Woah." This was the only word he could muster from his trancelike state.
After staring at the spear for a few more seconds, Takashi's eyes slowly drifted up from the weapon to the face of the man holding it. "That ...... was ...... awesome!" And like that, Takashi's silence was ended and the floodgates were open. "I mean, the way you were flipping and spinning in the air! And the spear looked like it was practically weightless! And it shined so brilliantly I could hardly keep my eyes on it! And then you threw it and it exploded! AND IT EXPLODED! But then it was right back in your hand! And this it was right in my face! I've never seen anything like it! Where could you have possibly gotten it?! Who could have even made it?! I mean, I know you can use orichalcum to infuse chakra into a weapon but making one that explodes and reforms?! That's insane! I wonder-" Takashi would continue to prattle on and on about weapons, materials, crafting methods and theories, his train of thought moving at full speed and ignoring any and all signs that he should stop. If left unchecked, it's likely he would ramble on for the next thirty minutes, maybe even longer.
He stood passively by as the child marveled at his weapon- questions falling from his lips like leaves from an autumn tree. Ten minutes passed by, then twenty and only when a half hour of the boy's rant passed and the child finally fell silent did Belamos reply in kind. Patience, he had learned, was a most effective tool at making your words heard. "This is my blade, Shoyoku"As he spoke, he raised the spear up and presented it to the child, letting him take the weapon from his hand. The dark oaken shaft was well polished and comfortable in the wielders hands. It continued until it met a thin red-steel spearhead which tapered to a fine point. Where the blade met the wood a banner was tied along the spear, draped around and trailing down the weapon. On one side of the banner was the symbols for 'King' and the other side held the symbols for 'Sun.' "It was given to me by my father" He spoke softly and kindly, relishing the genuine interest of another's passion. The boy was so enthused by the spear that Belamos could not help but smile as the child examined the weapon "Shokoku is Fire given Form, Starlight made Substance; it is a legendary blade of great and terrible power." He folded his hands behind his back and inclined his head towards the Genin in greeting "My name is Belamos Karna, nice to meet you"

"....and that's why every smith needs a good bucket!"
Suddenly finding himself out of breath, Takashi finally stopped his torrent of words, panting as he attempted to steady his breathing. 'Ah man. How long was I talking?' he thought, a light blush forming on his cheeks. His father was always warning him about this, telling him that he could probably talk the ears off of a wall. He just couldn't help it. There was just so much he wanted to learn about weapons and crafting, so many theories he wanted to discuss with others, and he was willing to talk to anyone and everyone about it, whether they shared his interest or not.
Thankfully, the man did not chastize Takashi for his lengthy ramblings. Rather, he responded kindly, even answering some of the questions that Takashi had sprinkled in amidst all his talking. Apparently, the weapon's name was Shoyoku and had been given to the man by his father. Takashi wanted to ask further if the man's father was also the one who crafted Shoyoku but became distracted when the man offered him the chance to actually hold the spear. With a slightly shaky hand, Takashi slowly reached out for the weapon, cautiously wrapping his fingers around the handle. It was strange, he had help plenty of great weapons in his time, often being tasked with polishing and sharpening them while his father attended to other matters. He was often in awe of the craftsmanship of those more skilled and experienced than himself, but this was perhaps the first time he was actually intimidated to be holding another's work. This feeling was only exacerbated by the description the man gave of the weapon, saying it held great and terrible power. Regardless, Takashi now found himself holding Shoyoku, taking in its magnificence up close and personal.
Staring at Shoyoku, Takashi was so focussed on the weapon that he hardly heard the man when he introduced himself as Belamos Karna. "Huh? Oh. Right. Right! I'm uhhh Takashi, Takashi Sato. Nice ta meetcha," he managed to spit out. His eyes then fell back to Shoyoku. He desperately wanted to give it swing, feeling its weight and balance for himself. However, for what had to have been the first time in his life, his fear of a weapon's might seemed to outweigh his curiosity.
The words rung through his person as his teacher would preform a lightning quick rotation, using his blade as always to create the dome of cutting chakra that would shred through both of his attacks, As his blade that was drawn to his hand had it's chidori infused attack thrown aside, Kojiro knew he had to react quickly. With only his single blade in hand and his secondary blade gone flying, Kojiro would grit his teeth.' I hadn't planned on using this so soon....' he thought to himself as his teacher's rotating attack's force began to n** at him. His emerald lightning crackled as his blade remaining in hand readied to slice through the swirling armors. Kenshin's eyes would suffer the lowest tier of blindness as Kojiro's sword illuminated the area with it's radiant lightning. "Rai..." Kojiro started as the sword now seemed alive with chakra as it sang like the chorus of one thousand birds. It's augmented edge slashing towards Kenshin's offense with no intention aside from splitting the cutting chakra in two. Kojiro would once again seem to move at blinding speeds, flashing by Kenshin as he roared the technique's name in completion. "....kiri!!!" With the technique's cutting nature, even the most overwhelming techniques were rendered weaker than their original states. Kojiro would need the strength of this technique in order to penetrate Kenshin's skillful counters and offensive strikes. Being stricken by this technique would mean a hefty price and extremely taxing movements if any could still be made.
Kojiro skidded to a halt, reaching out to grasp the lost sword from Kenshin's previous counter. With both swords in his hand again he would push what would be a finishing blow to most warriors. With a single blade aimed at Kenshin's torso and the second blade poised and ready, yet another emerald lighting technique would form. As the chirping of Raikiri faded it would seem to spring to life as a spear of lightning formed from the tip of the blade aimed at Kenshin. The lightning spear would manifest incredibly quickly as it extended to Kenshin and potentially through him, it's twenty foot range being plenty to penetrate the sage and then some. If Raikiri had successfully sapped him of his vigor, it was unlikely he would be able to avoid the follow up attack that was directed for his body. It was not without cost though that Kojiro preformed such marvelous feats one after another. It was evident to any who observed that Kojiro's actions were taking a heavy toll. His breathing was slightly labored, sweat pooling on the back of his head as he struggled to keep pace with the seasoned veteran.

__ As Kenshin swung in the powerful rotation of sword thrusts and slashes he saw Kojiro's sword light up blindingly brightly. It strained even his eyes as he watched it tear through the cutting chakra and approach his armor. He stopped the rotation and dropped his sword to form a handsign. As his handsign was formed the Raikiri punctured his armor and stabbed into his stomach before being rejected from full impalement. Standard light blue lightning coated his body in a powerful spiritual armor. "Tch." He hissed in both pain and annoyance as he also felt his body seize up in paralysis. Kenshin knew the Raikiri was legendary as he was a master of it himself but he did not remember Raikiri ever being quite this powerful and was confident that his potent defenses could rebuff it. Thankfully he was one for preparedness and decided to use lightning armor at the last minute. He put his left hand over his wound as he picked up Purity with his right hand. When the Chidori spear was launched at him the lightning armor easily negated it and persisted. He used his sensory sight to pierce through the cloudy vision of standard eyesight blindness and narrowed his eyes on Kojiro. Through sheer willpower, he bypassed the paralysis and blindness difficulties to counterattack. Still, he refused to use his full might with the tenseigan and sage mode because he knew that it would be dishonorable to use those advanced abilities in a spar. Fortunately, the lightning armor was supercharging his nervous system and revitalizing him physically allowing the pain from the wound to dull somewhat.
Since Kojiro used one of the strongest techniques of his clan, it seemed just for Kenshin to do the same. With his sword extended forward he jumped toward Kojiro and unleashed a powerful combination of sword thrusts. Three hundred and twenty-eight thrusts were aimed for Kojiro's body. Each strike from the sword would cause the steel to impale while simultaneously locking the tenketsu points on contact. The blinding speed of the attack, as well as the incredible accuracy of it, were indicative of the Hyuuga's mastery of the Jyuken even in this unorthodox bukijutsu application. As if that was not enough, Kenshin attacked a second time by slashing the blade horizontally and releasing a devastating wave of chakra to force Kojiro flying backward. This was in a pre-emptive retaliation to whatever Kojiro's response might be. Despite Kenshin's continued restraint, he took his just retribution and was interested to see how Kojiro would cope with his sensei taking the fight to the next level.

Kojiro's eyes widened in surprise as he felt his Raikiri technique dig into Kenshin's abdomen just as he had launched his Chidori Spear. The debris settling would reveal Kenshin's lightning armor that had been activated just in time to defend against Kojiro's finishing blow. Kojiro would lower his Chidori Spear, still extending from his sword and resembling a light saber like form now. " Sir! " he shouted, expecting pause from the man as the wound was notably bleeding. Kojiro understood Raikiri's power. Even so, he hadn't expected a successful strike.
From within the cloud of debris and smoke a circular shaped opening appeared with the rapier of Kenshin honing directly into Kojiro." Gah!" Without time to spare, three hundred and twenty eight thrusts would clear the remainder of the vision inhibiting smoke. Mimicing his teacher's idea, the young Hatake would dawn the Lightning Armor. As each of the strikes laid waste to his Lightning Armor and ultimately destroyed it, thundering echoes of sonic booms screamed out. Any spectators within the area or surrounding miles of the village would be sure to hear the dreadful noise, Kenshin would most likely suffer the impact of these several sonic boom, sending him flying away once he had delivered his Disaster Wave. The student's mind was racing. This was Kenshin's favored offensive style, was he pushing his teacher? Truly?
Once again thwarting Kenshin's attack, Kojiro would match blow for blow. With his teacher's own Tsunami wave approaching he would prepare the same technique in order to fully retaliate. In addition to his mixture of chakra into the blade, an additional surplus would be added, giving the blade a hot white glow as Kojiro would slash horizontally to match the wave, still crackling with Chidori from the Spear technique. As the waves prepared to clash evenly, the boy's extra chakra spent would reach the wave first, matching it's force completely and cancelling it. This would allow Kojiro's own Disaster Wave to go unobjected towards his teacher. The complex technique also carried Kojiro's lightning, causing the emerald light to flicker across the battlefield as it would wash over his teacher and the rest of the area, blowing it into oblivion.

__ Over three hundred strikes landed although unsuccessfully on Kojiro's lightning armor which disappeared. The emerald aura of lightning released a powerful sonic boom for each strike that Kenshin was able to brave but was forced back at the end. His own lightning armor then collided with the disaster wave that Kojiro loosed in return to his own. It was clear that the master and student shared many of the same tricks which added a fascinating dimension to the spar. He sheathed his blade in a blink and raised his fists. Kenshin would now rely on his more than competent skills in taijutsu because his Byakugan could tell that Kojiro was using his chakra in a foolhardy fashion and would run out soon. He clasped his hands together as he inhaled deeply and meditated. He fought through the pain and paralysis to greatly empower his own body. Chakra-based kaiser armor covered his body and empowered his strength and speed immensely. When he breathed in he also tapped into his stamina reserves which bulged his muscles out. Now all the physical strength his chakra was giving him was copied over to his body's fortitude. Kenshin's strength, speed, and fortitude were now at the physical limitations that could only be surpassed by the eight celestial gates. Instantly, Kenshin disappeared and reappeared by attempting to collide with Kojiro. His right forearm was aimed to clothesline Kojiro's midsection. If the Lariat was successful then the chakra in his Kaiser armor would cook him while the massive show of force would floor him and cause incredible injury to his skeleton.

Belamos watched the boy as he beheld the weapon for himself. He treated it with a reverence usually reserved for holy relics- treating it as a priest might some divine tome. The respect given his prized possession pleased him and painted the youth in a favorable light in the adult's mind. While the awe was there it was also tempered by a healthy amount of fear. Again, this bespoke some kind of primal wisdom on the part of the boy. Even if he didn't know it, the kid recognized when there was something dangerous before him. To reward both his passion and his respect to Shoyaku, Belamos would bestow a second gift to the child. Reaching out, he would lay an open palm a foot above the boy's head. He closed his eyes and reached out with his chakra, willing a change to take place "Do not be afraid- it is an extension of my power and only harms those I choose. Behold" A wave of heat exploded outwards from the spear. With a loud 'Whoosh!' the weapon would combust; turning from a normal weapon to one composed of pure flames. Takashi would feel the warmth of the flames in his hands as the fire squirmed and writhed around his grip but would be unharmed by the controlled inferno. The genin would also feel a substantial amount of Belamos's own power as he held the Sun King's Divine Spear- as if holding the weapon itself let the temporary bearer realize the true scope of it's wielder's abilities. Still, the most prominent thing that Takashi would notice was that this weapon was...different. Special and unique and, undeniably, powerful.
His green aura of lightning being broken, Kojiro would exhale shakily with relief. He felt more as though using the armor was a gamble at this point. The sonic booms created from impact upon his armor were something he thought would pay off, but to his surprise it worked rather well. As the two seemed to evenly clash in terms of technique strength, Kojiro knew what the outcome would be. ' Teacher's chakra levels are so much higher than mine. He doesn't even look like he's breaking a sweat....and I...'[/i] he felt exhausted. His chakra reserves were diminishing so much faster than he could keep up with. The cost of fightning on equal footing with Kenshin was more than demanding.
Kenshin sheathed Purity.
Kojiro gritted his teeth. He felt...anger. He flipped both swords into a reverse grip and thrust them into the ground behind him. " Don't..." he growled as Kenshin would dawn an all too familiar aura. Kaiser Armor! Kojiro knew what came next. It appeared that Kenshin intended to move to hand to hand combat. Kojiro knew very well that Kenshin had been able to peer into his chakra usage and knew how he had depleted it. His own Kaiser Armor would explode into existence. Just as Kenshin's did, Kojiro's body bulged as his muscles were strengthened. His mentor's extended arm would slam into Kojiro, taking the brunt of the force as it laid into his chest. Kojiro would cough blood as his eyes seemed to white out, losing focus for the moment. As it would appear Kojiro had lost conciousness for a fleeting moment, he would speak softly as his hands moved. "...don't... count me out...yet" His right hand would grasp Kenshin's right arm tightly, holding it across his body as it lingered form his clothesline. Kojiro's left hand reached across Kenshin's body, monopolizing on the fact that Kenshin had extended his balance in such a manner to preform his attack. With all his might, Kojiro hooked his left leg behind Kenshin's left leg and reap back, throwing Kenshin to the ground and landing upon his lower abdomen. " Kiahhhh!" his voice echoed as he used the shout that was intended to gather one's spirit and diminish the opponents.
As he would take the mounted position, blood from his mouth flowed out slowly, soaking his shirt and the open wound Kenshin had suffered. From this mounted position Kojiro would cross his hands one over the other and grasp the back of Kenshin's collar near the nape of his neck and cinch down with his forearms, blocking both carotid arteries. Now it would be a struggle of endurance, the two relying on their grappling skills that both learned thanks to their police training. As Kojiro strained his body to hold the choke it was evident he was nearly at his breaking point. His sweat and blood seemed to mix as his color was nearly drained from his face. Still, Kojiro was like a dog with no intent of backing down. He struggled, but why? He could not accept his limits. He had to be stronger. He had to push on. His teacher's expectations were high, but only to further the student. He knew that. He could not fall short.
