Welcome to Gaia! ::

Naniyori's eyes widened when the dodge his opponent had pulled forth from his repertoire turned into an aerial slash that threatened to take his lengthened arm off. 'He's smart, but he hasn't used any abilities so far...oh well, even if I can't find out his yet then I'll have to use my own.' Naniyori's face was a grin as he rotated his arms, turning the spiked side upwards, and charged them with spirit energy which created inch-long blades of reiatsu that he hoped could repel the reiatsu. Moreover, he wrenched his arm upwards with the newly created blades in a hope of landing a clear shot on the ninja-like opponent he was dealing with.

"You're not bad, at all! When I first caught sight of you from a farther off location, I thought you appeared different from most Hollows...just like Rahvir and I, you don't waste your time devouring empty human souls with no spirit power and you are intelligent enough not to go off at the first hint of Hollow bait. In other words, you are definitely fit to join us...given you can dodge this attack!" He shouted as his previously mentioned actions were played out, and the arm raised upwards. There was something about having another partner, or something of the sort, to work with that spread a small grin across his face in something akin to joy, or at least the Hollow equivalent.

Saizo grinned. He has no idea what i can do. He will discover my power now... in a puff of smoke, saizo dissapeared from midair, and reappeared right above naniyori, aiming a downward wakizashi slash from above. If this got through naniyori's defenses, he would stop the slash before it hit, and use naniyori's back as a wall to push off of, and land gracefully on his feet, about 10 feet away. That attack was impressive. If I didn't have my smokebomb ability, that would have hit. He is worthy of rahvir, as well as the rest of the squad.

saizo ran head-on at his opponent, as if he were going to charge, but at the last second, he went to the side, runing beside his opponent, aiming a slash.After the slash, saizo would smokebomb to directly behind naniyori, aiming another slash, followed by a kunai slice. That was luck on his part, but luck can kill or save someone. I have to expect that my opponents are expecting the unexpected. Especially from a shinobi like myself. I still hvae much to learn...

Rahvir was about to dart in to seperate the foes when Saizo was dropping down at Naniyori but the spiked hollow was more clever than Rahvir thought. He shot forward using his extending arms. Good move kid. Knew you had a few tricks. Rahvir smiled as the two hollow continued their spar. Saizo obviously had the upper hand but Naniyori was a well rounded fighter and Saizo had one amjor skill, his speed. Lets see if Naniyori can pull ahead. If that little guy has that kind of resourcefulness then I have been underestimating him. Rahvir was still ready to grab his reishi katana if he needed a burst of speed to save one of the fighters.

Naniyori stood full again, watching his opponent as he began to slow and examine his movements. 'He wants me to go on the offensive. Well, while I may have the skills required for many opponents, one with an ability like his smoke bomb is far more challenging. I can't just lash out without thinking...' That said, Naniyori began to circle his opponent slowly, still waiting for an opening.

"You're good, and I can't let your skills go without check if I'm going to go on the offensive...but lets see how this works!" He shouted, making a large throwing motion as his right arm extended once more, the blades of reiatsu also appearing along his arms to add to the dangerous nature of the attack. In truth, he had one ability remaining, but he knew it was most likely ineffective against the foe he was fighting right now...his Spirit Power was just too great for something like that, and he was unaware if he would be able to overcome the other stat necessary...

Despite the look of the attack, Naniyori hadn't meant to hit Saizo at all and his arm, although slightly cut by the oncoming kunai, fell to the earth and grasped the ground again. Using the same technique as before, he propelled himself towards Saizo at high-speeds, but rather than drop and roll he threw his foot forward, going for a very quick dropkick that would throw his enemy off if he hit. "Try and stop this one if you can, Saizo!"

He watched as the smoky puff rose, and his feet passed through it. Once more, he knew, his opponent would appear behind him for an attack that could very well hit. That said, he swung his fist down into the ground, using the momentum to spin around and avoid being caught off guard. Naniyori brought his other arm up, extending his spikes to block the wakizashi that could have won the battle for Saizo. The force of the impact, however, added to his already moving body sent the Hollow bounding backwards and he skidded to a halt a fair distance away, his breathe heavy from their training. He was bent over a bit, but his attention was still focused on the ninja, knowing that someone who focused so well on his speed couldn't be ignored for a moment. "Its about time to rap this up, wouldn't you say? You know two of my abilities, and I can tell you now that my third would be useless as I am now against you. You, too, have at least one ability left to assist you, although I'm unaware what power that might be, and we both must be getting tired...especially since I can tell that your stamina is lower than mine, and my body is beginning to be taxed quite well." He said, before bringing his hands up and flexing them once more. He was prepared to rap things up, by whatever fashion...
