The earth Izumi summoned took the shape of a rod. After a few swings. however, he found that it wasn't very durable or strong for that matter. Using a melee weapon just wasn't his style either. So what would suit his own personal style of combat? Perhaps if he were to form the soil into an armor that would cover his body? Yes that seemed possible, so he called upon his chakra to make himself some armor.

(Jutsu learning put on hold for now.)

Izumi's attampt at earthen armor was yet another failure. He just didn't have enough chakra. As he was considering what else he could attempt a scroll fell onto his head. He quickly untied it, read the contents, and rolled it back up. His training would have to wait. He had a mission to complete. Stuffing the scroll in his pocket, he quickly dashed back towards the village to meet Ryoko.

(Exit to the village.)

"I must be crazy..." Shikamori groaned to himself. Next to him, Yokou kept pace quietly, feather light steps occasionally making a barely audible 'tappa' on the ground. Zephyr still seemed to be in shock however - probably because of the debt. Inwardly, the Nara snickered. Zephyr was a rich b*****d prior to choosing to leave Konoha of his own will...besides, his Sannin sensei got away with debts too many times for his liking even during the time he lived in Konoha.

"Hey...Yokou...speaking of damages...how come your clan compound is always intact? One would think with stuff like the Kaiten and all..." "Juuken practice on clan grounds is fine but Kaiten is banned - whether in-doors or out. The clan members head to the outskirts - the open meadows to train. Besides, since we didn't specialize in Doton-based techniques, fixing holes drilled into the grounds would be a horrendous task." Yokou glanced at her partner. "Discipline is a very important factor...and no one ever questioned the rules... Come to think of it, I suppose that's some sort of luck..."

[[>.< Dammit, now I hate this. The old man just gained my respect all over again for seeing Roy in such a way. Same for Shikimori. Yep...I can't be mad at a guy like that. XD I feel so loved. Thank you proto. >.> Never expected ANYONE to see Roy like anything more than a mouthy brat.

oh, and ummm if you really don't want Ryoko to interfere, just ignore her part in red. I just figured it might be more fun reacting off of someone elses attacks and what not instead of just fighting yourself. In terms of numbers though, she doesn't hold a candle to you guys but she might surprise you all. XD]]


Roy looked tot he two. To be honest, he could only imagine how horrid this was gonna tear up the damn landscape. When Kinami came back, she'd have his a** for certain. There was a deep tension in the air...there was no mistaking that these two, although not out for blood, would only sto about 2 millileters short of it. There'd be blood almost certainly. He grimmiced at the thought of what these two could probably do to him if he ever really pissed them off. He began to evaluate all his comments to them and how well they had taken it so far. Of course, he wouldn't be him if he didn't test the waters but he'd show proper respect when it was due. After all, one of them could shut his body down while the other could crack his bones without even touching him, strictly speaking of course. Man what a mind trip this was.

To be honest, Roy was in awe and wanted to sit back with a bag of popcorn to watch the fight. It was times like this that he fully and completly understood his mothers enjoyment of combat. It was just something about it that thrilled the very hell out of him. But as Shikimori commented, being too close to these kinda power houses would definitly...suck for his health. Yep, one stray tree branch or something and he'd probably be out for the count if that fist back at Mat and Tai's cafe was any indication.

So, without really any words or hesitation, he walked off with Shikimori. Every now and then, he would cast a glance back to the battle,w aiting for it to start. He could only imagine his mothers excitement if she was here...where was she come to think of it? Oh well, no matter. He knew she'd pop up eventually.

Looking to Shikimori, he listened intently. Of course, from doing history research and playing his games, he knew most of the general knowledge of the Kagemane jutsu an a few of the more advanced jutsu. This was his favorite clan for a reason. All these other clans relied on some hidden trick or something but not this clan. They used something plane as day to see but at the same time, completly and utterly unnoticable. Especially if the person didn't know that their oppoenent had this kind of ability. It would be incredibly deadly. And lets be prefectly honest, there wasn't a single clan from the olden days that Roy would hate to run into in a dark alley, more than the Nara clan. Just the thought of running into a pissed Nara at night was down right terrifying.

"Before we begin, and please don't take this as any kinda sucking up...can I just say that your clan is probably the one clan I'd fear the most in a dark alley. I mean, the Hyuuga would have to actually get ahold of me. The stupid swirly eyed Uchiha would have to actually trick me into falling for a genjutsu or get me to do something they could copy. You guys...you guys would just be down right friggin vicious from what the history books tell me. Ok, I'll shut up now." He smiled.

Listening on, he nodded a bit at the chakra exercises, "Yep, done that and the water walking exercise."

Tedious and annoying huh? Sounds like Roy's normal MO when it came to jutsu. He nodded for a moment and looked around. To start, he wanted to find his shadow's exact length and begin as Shikimori said. So, he took off his messenger bag that he was carrying and pulled out a note pad. Flipping to a fresh page, he began to make notes about the time of day, what kind of training and other things. Tucking it away, he began to do as his new temporary sensei instructed. He raised his hand into and thought for a moment. Then he remembered the seal from the game. He applied the rat seal and began to move his chakra down to his feet and beyond it, if that was possible. He was beginning his training.

There was a small cry that came from a bird in the distance. The hare ran back into its den as the cry startled it. The day grew longer and longer as time passed it by. On the face of the platue, plants swayed in the gentle breeze of the higher altitude. This was a truly screne day to be sure. Nothing, absolutly nothing could disturb such peace.

Except a phycopath bent on having 'fun'. From the direction of the mining caves, a black flash began to shoot across the sky. It darted from one area to the other, moving with incredible speed and accuracy. It seemed to avoid all the rougher traversed areas and the softer sandy areas that would force it to loose traction. This thing had been out here before and it knew this area well.

The eagle flew off into the distance to avoid the stray rocks. The rabbit would have to find a new exit to its home as this one was covered in dirt and sand and the plants would sway with vicious force as the creature flew past them. The black mark seemed to scale the side of the platue in seconds and soon flew high into the air, almost blotting out the sun. It was a hard image to see...something that high and covered by the brightness of the sun. But they'd damn sure hear it.

"No having fun battles without me! DYNAMIC ENTRY!!!!" sailing in from the tremedous hight, the creature began to sail in and aimed a mighty kick at the head of the older gentlemen Zephyr. The wind itself seemed to clear a path for this freakish imp that camed barraling towards him

So she made it safely through the opening moves... But then again, if Yokou hadn't...this spar won't be any fun! To his surprise, a cyclone of chakra made a beeline at him...only to miss...followed by several kunai. Uninterested, Zephyr casually plucked them from the air. She made a distraction just for this...? But a knowing smirk from his student told the Sannin this meant something more. With a start, Zephyr realized chakra was flowing from the wires. Not good! She can certainly get a Juuken strike on him like this! And the wires...reinforced by chakra with someone as good in chakra control as Yokou...would make breaking out purely with normal Gouwan a difficult task. So it comes down to this? If it's a test of strength...well, then it'll certainly be something Yokou would regret!

Roy was looking on. Good friggin lord. This was what higher level shinobi were capable of? What the bloody hell? He then looked to the black streak that made and intrence and even made teh old man, who had nearly crippled the ground around him, wince in pain. He knew that was the mark of only one person. His mother was the only one that could keep such a small form and yet make grown men want to cry.

He sighed deeply as he took a deep breath. Damn this could be dangerous, specially if his mother really wanted ot have fun. Hell, it was dangerous with just these two power houses from Konoha running about. Dammit this couldn't go well. He looked to Shikimori and swallowed a bit. "Ummm you sure this is far enough back...my mom..." he thought for a moment, ahh whatever. He didn't care if Shikimori knew Haruko was his mom or not, "the girl might make them go further out. She might not beat them but she's annoying when she feels like it."

The Nara was silent...guess he knew what was best for now. Probably was analyzing the situation. Man this could get ugly fast. But he still had training to do. So, without further adu, he replaced his hands into their rat seal and tried once more to get his shadow flowing...wow that sounded and felt so weird to think about.

[[ok so by the way you wrote it, Ryoko basically missed the first attack bys imply not being there. thats good. T.T probably wouldn't have dodge the hit anyway. XD]]

Ryoko was awed to be sure...these people were friggin power houses and here she was. Nothing special really. She didn't have anything to really specialize in or focus on but she knew one thing...she didn't like the way this was going. From what she could see, these two power houses wouldn't really pay her that much attention...and also, this was a spar between a teacher and a pupil. She knew that if she only attacked the old man, in essence helping Yokou win, she probably wouldn't feel accomplished...she'd feel cheated.

Standing for a moment, watching the struggle of power, Ryoko had to think of a way to work things out...she couldn't just pick off one cause then the other would come after her...a split offensive? Maybe...yes maybe that was it. Her attacks would be limited but she could still work some things out...yes...but she had to make this look good.

Without another thought, she began a mad dash toward the old man. He was restrained and she knew, from past experiences with her father, that if he broke free, his front side was the worst place to be. Shifting to his side, she went into a cartwheel, locking her legs together to strick the old man in the head from the side. As her feet planted, she would shoot off again at him and kick him in the back of the head with her right leg then use her left leg to plant on his back and jump clear into the air. One good sky leg deserved another. Out of the air she would come sailing down toward Yokou with her own Painful SKy leg. Not as powerful as the old mans but should be interesting to see the end results.
