Welcome to Gaia! ::

It would be just as Matsumoto wold have expected, this boy was not at all a weakling and in fact he would be close to nearly getting away unscathed from his elbow. Unfortunately, Raven had too much to do and chose to move his sword before attempting to dodge. This would prove to be the deciding factor in this fight, a single slip up. As Raven would begin to motion backward, Matsumoto's elbow would hammer into his side at full strength. Raven would feel a terribly excruciating pain but, this was only the beginning. The strike would cause the boy to soar backward and because of his position, he would tip over and first carry impact on his neck, which would most likely knock him out with that alone. After the brutal impact of his neck and the hard, concrete roof, Matsumoto would glance backward with his eyes wide " Shiiiiit " He'd exclaim as he could see had had put a little too much into the strike, he rushed over to the boy to see if he was alright. He hoped he would not choose to continue if he still remained consciousness between the deep pain in his side and the pain in his neck, he wouldn't move anywhere near as he did before, meaning that Matsumoto's would have no problem winning. This was only if he managed to remain conscious after the blow to the neck, as the impact was hard. This alone would leave him weak, it'd be near suicidal to continue on fighting.

" I told you kid..you dont know what you've gotten yourself into.." Matsumoto scolded at the child as he cracked his knuckles once more. This kid had resilience but, he would need a lot more than that if he ever wished to beat skilled fighters like Matsumoto. He was aware that he could have ended this shinobi's life, though this was not his intention, he knew with the force of the strike at that angle death was a high possibility. He could see, this fighter was not one to give up but, the chances of him winning now were far less than before, with his right arm limp and the left side of his waist practically throbbing in pain, all hopes for victory would seem to slip away. However, Matsumoto was not one to underestimate a foe no matter the circumstance, he would begin to rush at the boy once more, this time when close he would throw an openhanded right palm strike aimed at the boy's chin. However, this attack was a ruse, a simple trick, as The boy would attempt to react, he would swiftly hop to his right and throw an immense right leg scoop kick at his full speed as Raven motioned to block or counter. So as the boy would try to block or counter, the kick would be soaring toward him just above the knee and in his injured condition there was most likely not a thing he could do. Matsumoto would only attempt the kick if the boy attempted to dodge or block his strike, if he took the attack, he would simply fall through with his initial strike. If the kick would land, it would be on Raven's already injured side and adding to the fact that this kick forces the target open themselves up, motioning their body forward from the force of the blow but on top of that he was damaged in an area the kick caused to move. The scoop kick was a very swift motion and only in his previous state would Raven even have a chance of noticing the kick in time if he reacted to the earlier attack by dodging or blocking. Almost instantly following up the scoop kick if it landed, Matsumoto would motion into a leaping left side hook kick at the exact same speed, taking advantage of the opening the scoop kick is made to cause. It was aimed at the injured area of Raven and if it hit he would once again soar through the air but, this time it would be no chance of him getting up.
