Hibari did a roll, and purposely let Cloud's blade cut him, he quickly re gained to his feet and stood tall behind Cloud. Hibari let go of his sword and raised up his hands, as well as backed away. He mentioned, "I don't think we should go any further, LT you have a general idea for a skills now, don't you?" This whole fight Hibari's sword never seemed to leave his side, and Hibari wasted no movements in his elegant strikes. Hibari faced LT and spoke, "What do you say are we worthy?" Hibari sat down and rubbed off the small amount of blood on his left hand, it was nothing serious, only a tiny cut.

Cloud turned around, facing both Hibari and LT. He rested his sword on his shoulder and spoke as well. "Is this alright LT sensei?" He asked. He wasn't as elegant as Hibari, but his strikes were well thought out and fluent, precise, and quick. He noticed he managed to nick him, which was better then what could of happened

"Very good, LT stated as he unfolded his arms and walked over to sit on his docks outside his house. Do you know why i didnt allow you to use anyting but your sword? You can both answer.
Stage Four
Chuunin
The user can now hold his own in a swordfight, although against a higher-level shinobi he would go down easily. The speed and strength of the user has increased slightly, but in such a way that now movements are much more efficient, with less wasteful moves. The user’s reaction speed is now more noticeable, allowing the user to dodge and move in a way that is much more effective then before.

Hibari quickly answered, "Increase our sword fight skills I suppose, though we both would be ripped to shreds if we actually used elements. My real answer is so we didn't kill each other." Hibari laughed a little and leaned back in the chair, to start staring at the ceiling.

"And what if you are almost completely out of chakra. What do you do then?"

Hibari thought for a few moments and answered, "You take your last stand, and die along side with your opponent." Hibari was still smiling as he always did, he had no hint of hesitation in his voice.

"Then you neither win, not lose. What would be the point of that fight then? If you both die."

Cloud listened to what his partner was saying, he leaned against a wall and closed his eyes. "You made us fight with swords only for the purpose of being able to fight without using chakra, or too much of it, so we do not waste all of our energy. In a better way of saying this, we fought without chakra so we can build up other methods of fighting so we can rely on swords, and use chakra sparringly instead of continously." He said opening his eyes looking at LT. "Without being able to fight without using chakra, we'll be finished quickly, but being able to use fighting styles without wasting chakra that is still effective is key. To be balanced is how people survive the harshness of our world" He said calmly, not sure if he was right but he figured it would make sense

Hibari laughed a little, "In my books I would like to die that way, dieing for what you believe in, we all have our own opinions though. So whatever, no matter how efficient and chakra wasting a fight style is, if you cant beat your opponent you will die regardless. When you are fighting stronger opponents you won't be able to manage with just a swing with your sword." Hibari laughed and hummed a tune, he looked back and forth observing LT's lodge.

LT clapped his hands, and then pointed to Cloud, you have the main point of it, Your job as a swordsman is not to be flashy, your job is to keep everything you do to simple, fast, and effective. Being effective is the key, you said that being balanced is how people survive, you are right but it is more than that. People dont understand what is is to be flexible, to be flexible, one must adapt. And the creatures in this world that is purely made to adapt, is human beings. Under me you will learn how to work smart, not hard. Keep it simple, keep it fast, and keep it effective."
LT stood up, "My job as a teacher is not to give you the answers... My job is to give you more questions for you to find the answers to. I dont have all the answers, i never will... And neither will you. Do you understand?"

Cloud nods. "Yes sir...makes sense as well, if you cannot adapt then you will never live out your life. I understand LT sensei?" He asked his sensei, beginning to respect him alot more now. He understood how things were.

"Once you answer this question we will learn another move. But first answer me, Hibari, Cloud what do you fight for?"

Hibari tilted his head, and thought for a moment, he then answered, "I fight...because...." He took a moment to think a bout it, he never really had a reason to fight, he only did it in his free time. Finally he continued, "I fight because I want to kill Akatsuki, they have caused nothing but trouble in mostly everyone's lives, and with them out of the picture, life will because a lot easier." Hibari nodded at his own answer and laughed, he never really had a reason to fight. Instead he just did it so he could improve the lives of those around him, such as the civilians.
