Welcome to Gaia! ::

((1. Oh. 2. lol ))

Calmly, Sasuke watched as the three Heikaze's came towards him. Though his sharingan wasn't fully developed, it was enough in order for him to predict the two clone's attacks. The blow from his neck flew over his shoulder as he leaned over slightly and sucked in his stomach so the other hand would barely glance his stomach. His body tilted slightly to avoid the attack coming from his ribs and he managed to push himself off the ground and performed a backflip over the second clone's back.

However, this caused him to lose sight of the original, so quickly he made a few handsigns and shouted, "Fire Style, Fireball Jutsu!" Before firing out at the clones. As the flames burst forth from his fingers, his eyes twitched softly as he felt a slight pain in his gut. He had to be quicker next time...but he did well enough to keep from losing his chakra...for now.

Ryo reached with his free hand for a tornado kunai, his special kunai variant with a note that created a powerful whirlwind when activated, it was checkmate, Itachi's hands we both occupied. He stabbed at Itachi's stomach with the kunai and mentally prepared to follow his imminent release with a fire jutsu to enhance the attack.
----------------------------------------------------
Itachi could do nothing about this. He'd underestimated the chuunin, and shouldn't kept his distance to speculate more first. He had been cocky, even if his sharingan had seen it coming, at this range it wouldn't matter. The kunai plunged through the clone of Itachi causing it to poof, the real Itachi stood behind with a smirk as he anticipated Ryo's fall.
"Big whoop little chuunin, you defeated my clone"
----------------------------------------------------
The kunai activated, and created a small yield whirlwind in the air horizontally in it's path as it bulletted toward the real Itachi. Ryo had completed the hand signs by the time the kunai had begun to spin and said "Fireball no jutsu". I big fireball formed between his hands and he threw it into the whirlwind trail. It ignited the entire whirlwind and it shot toward Itachi faster.
-----------------------------------------------------
Itachi who had never seen a kunai of this variant before, didn't have the slightest idea of what happened until it did. He attempted to dodge but was blown away by the whirlwinds destructive impact on the tree behind him. Itachi skid to a stop with one hand to the ground then threw himself onto his feet.
"What the hell was that? This kid is something else" he thought.
-----------------------------------------------------
Ryo preformed the handsigns as Itachi stopped himself, and said "Mudslide no Jutsu" and the ground beneath Itachi turned to a swamplike mud before he could land. Ryo began preparing his 'shocking' finishing move. "It's now or never"
------------------------------------------------------
Itachi slipped and fell, he couldn't get up in this mud, it was like quicksand made of mud. But his hands were free, he preformed a few handsigns as Ryo did his own, "I'm done playing with you boy, SHINING HEAVEN!" he said, pointing his hands at Ryo a Jet black flame imitted in the way a torch would. The flame was known to be at hot as the sun itself.
------------------------------------------------------

((Wow Ryo, you got me a great place to enter
I'm gonna do what he says in blue, handsigns in red, clones in purple.))

Kakorata dropped down. Sharingan activated he looked Itachi in his eyes.
"I hope you know, your no match for me." He reached back and grabbed his katana. "This is a Taijutsu that can't be seen through with the sharingan. I call it, the Inhopefulness Style. First I do this:" He Drew a circle around his feet. "Followed by this:" He did some hand signs (Horse, Rat, Dragon) "Fire style: Earthly Ignition Jutsu." The circle he drew caught fire and started to slowly melt inwards towards himself. "Then this:" (Rat, Dog, Boar, Ox) "Water Style: Water Clone Jutsu. Now tell me. Is your sharingan gonna focus on the flames, the clones or the sword?" He swung his sword forward as two clones jumped over the fire, attempting to punch him in the face.

((If this isn't clear, let me know, and I'll attempt to clean it up.
And yes, this can be dodged. It's just a Tai Jutsu.))

((I think that's a legitimate reason. But it's not up to me...))

"You're slow." Heikaze stated bluntly spinning around to meet Sasuke face to face just as he begun the kick. It was almost as if Heikaze knew where he was going to be. As Sasuke's leg touched his cloak and began towards his actual body, Heikaze's hand came down, covered in chakra. Under the cover of his cloak he used the jyuuken. His hand would hit Sasuke's calf and force chakra into it, this would make chakra aided speed harder to control and it would probably hurt to put weight on it.

As for his clones, rather than continue allowed themselves to be consumed by the flames. They had stopped trying as soon as Sasuke used the substitution. They knew, as did the real Heikaze, what had happened and exactl where Sasuke had gone. But, by allowing it appear to have taken them by surprize the Uchiha may continue to underestimate the byakugan.

<(So, where is Shadar and Xinrie. I have been waiting for them to reply so I could continue in my other two fights as well.)>

Heikaze made a quick dash forward at Sasuke. His arms flew out of his cloak, coming together he thrust them forward like he was firing off a Ka-ma-ha-me-ha (Sp?). Except, rather then expelling ki, Heikaze released a burst of chakra from his palms. The chakra would hit Sasuke as if it were a solid rock and send him flying from the force's impact. Then, at the very last second he bent backward to limbo under the Demon Wind Shuriken as he had followed it the whole time. Once the shuriken had passed harmlessly over him he stood back up. Standing straight his cloak closed around him once more. "It has only just begun..." Heikaze smirked as he waited to see what would happen.
