"Is that even legal?!"
"Theres like nine of them!"
"I hate clones!"
The three clones countinued forward and as the first wave of Shinji's slid on their back, all three Tensai's thrust their katana downward into the torso of all three clones at the same time. Countinuing with this motion the clones would pitch forward, rolling over their blades and the hopefully dispelled water clones. After landing on their feet and finding them faced with hand thrown kunai. All of the clones deflected these kunai two of them would instantly be slain but a third attempted to duck under the strike of one offending clone while simultanesouly striking it with a horizontal slash before it was killed.
Hopefully this left only five clones to pursue Tensai into the cluster, which was quite an improvement considering the small army that he started against. Considering the amount of clones he had against him, Tensai felt the need to even things up a bit. The ensuing sequence of handseals were performed with regret but bolts of electricity erupted from his body and crashed into upraised pillars, becoming clones who instantly launched three kunai towards the oncoming Shinji clones. Each kunai was directed towards each clone but the real Shinji would be forced to deal with two kunai. After this attack the Lightning Clones leapt onto other pillars, staying aloft while Tensai weaved between the pillars to avoid being seen. If the Shinji clones countinued to get closer to start to create more clones, the Lightning clones would throw kunai at them to keep them on their toes or even dispell a few.

 Kurosawa Shinji| Clan: N/A, yet | Ninja Types: N/A, yet | XRP Free Agent | Genin ||| Shinobi Profession: Ninjutsu Specialist || XRP Profile || Though the three guardian lightning clones were successful in dispelling the clones which moved into the slide with a quick stab through their chests, the mizu bunshin had still done their job. With the speed of the next wave following up destroying the remaining three clones before they could inflict any damage, 5 clones of Shinji and Shinji himself had begun running towards the columns once again. Not content with his numbers however, Shinji smiled devilishly as his boosted chakra reserves allowed him to produce another set of three clones at his side as he amassed his army once again. Shinji was beginning to get rather annoyed with these games however... how long could someone run and hide and still consider themselves a fighter. People would come to the XRP to see battles... not chasing cat and mouse games like his opponent was playing. Compared to dealing with bar brawls and street fights, this was getting boring.
Knowing that he and his clones would be under quick assault from the columns, Shinji himself took the lead, coming to the front just as he saw a wave of five kunai fly out of the columns. Well prepared for this, Shinji had grabbed a handful of Shuriken in each hand, about four in each and tossed them in a wide spread out from his center towards the oncoming kunai. Each clone then tossed their own shuriken at either an incoming kunai or one of the clones which was interweaving through the columns. The spray of metal projectiles clamored and clanked in the air between the groups,one of them escaping through the cloud to strike and destroy a mizu bunshin, collapsing it into a small puddle. However the rain of metal would still make it to the columns, bound to destroy at least one clone.
Coming to the columns finally, Shinji himself led the assault, taking out his steel sword in his right hand as he leaped up onto the columns, jumping between them almost reckless abandon as he was followed by 2 of his clones to hunt down the remaining bunshin. With five other clones left on the ground, three of them formed a perimeter to block Tensia's exit, waiting for the signal of their master above before completing the planned attack when Shinji hovered overhead. The other two clones charged into the columns, weaving between them with swords drawn, following the glimpses of the opponent which they could see. Once one clone line of sight of the opponent, they would inevitably charge and distract with slashes across the chest, allowing other to quickly close in and attack from an additional angle, keeping Tensai busy so that Shinji's plan could be unleashed.
Meanwhile, up in the columns, Shinji deflected an incoming kunai from one of the clones, as he drew closer, twisting his body to just barely avoid the other clone's shuriken, watching it graze past him producing a cut across an older scar, one he got when he got into that alley fight when a child had made the mistake of referring to him as "whitey" due to his hair color. Closing in on the clone, it quickly took out it's steel katana and slashed at Shinji, but being much stronger then the clone, Shinji slammed his own sword against the clone, pushing back the blade and following through to slam the clone up against the side of the column, destroying it in a wisp of hot air as Shinji quickly re-sheathed his weapon. His other two accompanying clones would then deal with the only remaining lightning clone, tag-teaming it, taking out their swords to deflect all incoming projectiles before assaulting it with coordinated diagonal slices from two sides. Though one of them might be destroyed, the clone alone would not be able to block both attackers.
Jumping between the columns, Shinji would easily be able to spot Tensai down below and track the movement of his own clones. He had things carefully planned at this point following Tensai's attacks against the two pursuing clones as the other three were in position. With Tensai located, and his own clones attacking, Shinji would swoop in on him from above and toss a flash bomb to blind him. With his own clones ready for this tactic, and thus capable of avoiding the bright flash, they would then rush in and block the blinded Tensai's escape from all sides, converging on him and grappling him to hold him steady. Shinji would then toss a kunai with an explosion tag at Tensai directly and jump back up, away from the blast. With nowhere for his opponent to go, hopefully this would end the fight.. and with all of the plan happening nearly simultaneously, the odds of Tensai escaping would be insurmountable.

Tensai was finding this battle to be significantly more challenging without the utilization of explosive tags or at least a greater number of ninja tools. The clone army hunting him down would be tough to deal with and the only way to get rid of them was to target Shinji. He predicted that Shinji would send clones to block off his exit but he never had any intentions of escaping. As he weaved a complex path through the slab, Tensai glanced over his shoulder to glimpse two Shinji's chasing after him.
As he passed behind a slab the younger shinobi launched a shuriken behind him with perfect timing, arc around the pillar where it would hopefully catch one of the clones unaware and fly through its now liquid form. When Tensai glanced behind his shoulder to see both clones chasing him he noticed they were moving in seperate directions so once he destroyed one clone Tensai wouldn't run from the other side of the slab. Instead, he performed a vertical wall run immediately after throwing his shuriken and then launched it downward as soon as the Shinji clone ran into his elevated line of sight. The high speed projectile would hopefully bury itself into the clones unprotected back but in the meantime, Tensai began leaping off the colums towards his formerly created clone and Shinji.
He reluctantly formed the Tiger Seal, threading chakra from his body until it materialized as an aura of electricity that branched off into dual bolts that flung themselves towards Shinji before coalescing into lightning clones just a few slabs away. A powerful leap put the real Tensai just a few pillars away but the lightning clones would not wait for their creator, arriving just in time for Shinji to slam one of the clones into a pillar. The two lightning clones would pass overhead only grasping two kunai and a shuriken from their pouch to launch at Shinji just as he finished -resheathing his weapon. As these lightning clones were near the tip of the pillars and hopefully catching Shinji in mid-air, the attack should at least cause some damage. Fortunately for Shinji, the clones believed that he was just one of the clones and the real Shinji was one of the two clones assaulting one of the older lightning clones.
At that particular battle, the lightning clone grasped the arm of one of the Shinji clones and tugged it towards the other Shinji's attack but was unable to full use the victim to absorb the full blow. A blast of hot air mingled with a burst of water as both clones were destroyed in a single battle. The remaining clone, however, would have to contend with six shuriken flying at it from two directions. As soon as the clone managed to avoid them (most likely by moving), the mizu bunshin would meet the business end of a steel katana as one clone intiated a vertical slice and the other shot behind the mizu bunshin while lashing out with a horizontal slash to its back.
The real Tensai would arrive to see the real Shinji dealing with the four kunai and two shuriken that arrived from above Shinji's head. Tensai, after strategically placing him just out of sight and at slightly elevated position, grinned cruelly and launched two kunai towards Shinji as while he was pre-occupied with the rain of projectiles from above. If he managed to also deal with these kunai, two shuriken were just making an imprresive curve around a few slabs to bury themselves into Shinji's back while Tensai began jumping between two pillars to arrive at the top of the slab.

Kurosawa Shinji| Clan: N/A, yet | Ninja Types: N/A, yet | XRP Free Agent | Genin ||| Shinobi Profession: Ninjutsu Specialist || XRP Profile || Despite his quick actions and varied levels of attack, his opponent still seemed to be able to keep up in ways Shinji did not expect. As such, his carefully laid plans seemed to fall apart at every instance of their inception, no matter how carefully planned. However, despite this, Shinji had the advantage of numbers and it was beginning to even out to work in his favor. With only one lightning clone left, and three on the ground, ready to spring at any move of their opponent, which they had surrounded. However, as the battle ensued, it all changed in an instant. As he was moving into position to find Tensai, he caught a quick glimpse of an arc of lightning, which by now was easily recognized as the Raiton Bunshin technique. Unsure of what these clones would do, Shinji stopped moving on a pillar, sliding down it only to look up and see a pair of clones toss an array of projectiles directly at him on their way to one of his clones.
Moving quickly, Shinji planted his feet on the column and kicked off, aiming for the column directly across from him, which he was able to reach in time to avoid the majority of the steel. One of the shuriken however, moving faster then the other projectiles, managed to embed itself in Shinji's thigh, sending a sharp pain through his leg. Landing on the other side, Shinji watched the his pursuants pass him by, giving him time to dislodge the metal projectile from his leg before tossing it to the ground in anger. It was just about this time that Shinji then saw a second wave of projectile fly towards him, two kunai, then a couple of shuriken, seemingly thrown from around a column. Not knowing how he would avoid these, Shinji prepared to jump off the column again, but just as he was about to, a spray of metal, associated kunai and shuriken erupted from the ground floor, angled up at the projectile attacks, knocking them off to the side as he watched his three Mizu Bunshin clones track the real Tensai up onto the top of the columns.
Pushing through the pain in his leg, Shinji resolved to finish off the clones which were to attack his Mizu bunshin, arriving on the scene just in time to see the consecutive attacks occur. The Mizu Bunshin knew that two versus one meant it was over for him, but he would take at least one down with him. Dodging the six flying shuriken, the clone met the vertical strike first, nimbly dodging the sword as it grabbed the wrist of the clone as it passed by him. Quickly dragging the Lightning clone into a grapple, the Mizu Bunshin accepted the incoming attack, but not before twisting in the air, bringing the lightning clone with it as the steel sword ripped through both clones, leaving a spray of water and a wisp of hot air behind.However, just as the wisp of air and water cleared away, Shinji came flying through the debris to land a solid kick straight to the clone's chest, dissipating it instantly.
Ready to finish this, Shinji made a quick pair of hand seals, producing a veil of water around him before it merged into a single clone, created to match his most current wounds and show a few more bleeding scrapes across his arm and leg. Sending the clone up along with the others, which were hot on Tensai's tail, trailing him closely, as soon as Tensai came to the top of the column, the others leaped to the top of the adjoining columns, surrounding him and staring as they each held a kunai and two shuriken in hand. After only a brief pause, unwilling to allow him to make any hand seals or movements for a weapon, they all loosed the shuriken directly at him, 2 towards his upper torso and chest, 2 at his abdomen, two at his back, and two towards his legs. With Shinji having time to maneuver around the columns below, hiding in the shadows of the columns behind Tensai, a sudden clank of steel on stone would be heard below Tensai as a kunai embedded into the stone not more then a foot below him. Not surprisingly, just behind that kunai flew a paper tag attached to it, the igniting flame already burning halfway down the note, about to explode, hopefully catching Tensai in the blast. If it didn't however, it would force him to move, making him a mid-air target for the next exploding tag which Shinji would throw immediately at Tensai's backside after the first blast, making it near impossible to avoid.

Tensai knew when he was at his limit and despite his admirable efforts to survive, the sheer number of mizu bunshin were too much to contend with at his level. He decided that Shinji probably wouldn't accept a sudden surrender but at the very least he wanted to deal with some of the wretched clones.
As the mizu bunshin leapt to the top of the surrounding columns Tensai brandished his steel katana and exploded into a flurry of movement, pivoting on a single foot while deflecting the kunai directed towards his torso and abdomen towards one of the mizu bunshin. The shuriken directed towards his back sailed onward and would most likely dispell one of the mizbu bunshin. Pain lanced up his left leg as a shuriken lodged into his flesh and the second cut a deep gash along his right calf. Through the pain, Tensai was able to allow his body to fall onto the other side of the pillar as the explosive tag exploded, blasting large slabs of stone into the surrounding area. The force of the explosion and the proximity of the pillars created a catastrophic chain reaction, sending pillars crashing into each other and shattering the stone floors as the tal slabs came falling to the ground. Tensai would be lost in the ensuing confusion, leaving only a large heap of ruined stone slabs and a heavy cloud of smoke.
The ruins were completely silent and there were no signs of movement within the wreckage. For all purposes, Tensai could even be dead!

Kurosawa Shinji| Clan: N/A, yet | Ninja Types: N/A, yet | XRP Free Agent | Genin ||| Shinobi Profession: Ninjutsu Specialist || XRP Profile || Completely surrounded, it seemed like Tensai had finally found himself boxed in as he took out his katana. Observing theman as he setup his attack, it was clear that he was more then skilled with a blade. To be able to spin in a flurry of attacks like that, deflecting 2 incoming projectiles directly back at two of his clones, destroying them in explosions of water. Unfortunately however, for Tensai, it seemed hat Shinji had finally gotten the uppser hand as the explosion note ignited just following two projectiles digging into his flesh. Noting that he had the wits to roll away from the explosion, Shinji backed off himself, leaping backwards away from the chain reaction of falling pillarsand stone. Landing on the ground, Shinji watched as the rock and stone tumbled to the ground, cracking the floor and kicking up a thick cloud of dust and debris,leaving him wondering what had become of Tensai.
Joined by the two remaining clones which leaped off of their columns as the explosion took place, Shinji looked into the wreckage, wondering if indeed the fight was over. In his head, he wanted to make sure that Tensai was not trapped or terminally injured within the rumble, but his fighting instinct kept him at a distance, not willing to be caught by a trick. Each clone and Shinji stood at the ready, holding a kunai in one hand while Shinji held a kunai and a flash bomb in the other. They stood waiting to see what wouldcomefrom the rubble, is anything... and waited for the officials to make an announcement if warranted. This was afterall, only an exhibition match, and it would be an utter shame for such a fine warrior to be taken out so early in the competition, especially when the XRP was in it's infancy and needed good fighters like him.

A rasping cough echoed from within the stone ruins and smaller slabs began to shift as if some internal force was expanding from within. A heavy slab toppled from near the top of the ruins, revealing a small hole and a very dusty and battered combatant holding his fist to his mouth. During the topple, Tensai was lucky enough to have two slabs fall towards each other, creating an improvised barrier against falling debris. Blood flowed freely from the wound in his calf, bruises covered his torso, and light burns left his clothes in rags.
A soft hiss escaped his lips as he tumbled down the wreckage landing on his right leg before falling back against one of the stone slabs. Most of his chakra had been depleted but there was definetly still some fight in the shinobi's eyes. His steel sword was nowhere to be seen but Tensai grasped the hilt of the kunai in his calf and tugged it free. He held the point towards his enemy but after a few seconds he allowed the weapon to fall and held his left hand aloft.
"I surrender," he coughed with a heavy sigh. He knew his limits and fighting with an injured leg, even at this stage, would be idiotic. He would live to fight another day and mabye even challenge Shinji once again, in the future. In the meantime, he would need some rest before he next match. Hopefully his exploits had attracted the attention of a manager and he could possibly buy some more equipment, such as those handy explosive tags.

Kurosawa Shinji| Clan: N/A, yet | Ninja Types: N/A, yet | XRP Free Agent | Genin ||| Shinobi Profession: Ninjutsu Specialist || XRP Profile || Waiting for his opponent to make a move, Shinji's eyes darted back and forth checking his peripherals ove and over again. It wasn't till he heard the shifting in the rubble that he turned his eyes back to the wreckage completely, tensing his muscles and holding hiskunai up defensively. However, it was clear that Shinji himself wasn't in the best condition, his wounds, especially the one in his thigh, bleeding profusely with all of the adrenaline pumping through him. Staring at the rubble moving, his breathing became heavier, waiting to see what would come from his slowly rising opponent.
For Tensai to still be standing was impressive, but when he saw the man hold up his kunai, pointing it at Shinji, hat was truly courageous. The man was clearly very hurt, as one would expect from being in such close proximity to an explosion. He waited with tensed muscles, waiting for any movement from his foe, but after a few tense seconds, the man dropped his arm and then surrenderd... allowing Shinji to relax, feeling a wave of relief and excitement wash over him instantly. Replacing his concentrated stare with a wide smile, Shinji relaxed his own arm, spinning his kunai back into his holster before walking over to Tensai, smiling the entire time. Then, as he arrived within a few feet, he extended his hand to the man for a hearty hadnshake as congratulations for a fight well fought...
"Good match my friend. I haven't had a fight that challenging in many years. I look forward tomaybe facing you again... or maybe, if it's in the cards, fightingat our side. Who knows what this place will hold for all of us." Shinji then waited for some kind of response, smiling widely and with sincerity, having enjoyed the fight very much so.

Shinji's smile was contagious and Tensai found himself grinning behind the ragged bandages around his mouth. He tugged the wrappings free with his left hand, allowing the lengthy of dirty bandages to collect at his feet and reveal narrow, clean-shaven jaw. As Shinji approached Tensai grasped his hand in his strong hands, pumping their joined fists as single time. "Your very clever and your thrill for battle is alot healthier than I initially suspected. I'll keep an eye out for you, Kurosawa. The next time we meet, whether against each other or as allies, I hope we'll both be significantly stronger,"
Tensai released his opponents hand and placed a hand on his own sore shoulder, rolling his arms in a futile effort to lessen the nagging pain. He would walk past Shinji with a respectful nod, clearly favoring his stronger leg but soldiering through the pain. "I'll see you later then, eh?" he called over his shoulder.

It was true that it often came off in the wrong way, but in the end, when all was saidanddone, Shinji was always the first to shake hands with and buy his opponent a drink. smiling, all he did was nod at the rest of his comments as hewatched the manbegin to walk away, turning and favoring his own leg himself, before turning to hear Tensai as he man spoke over his shoulder.
"You better believe you will." Shinji thencontinued out the opposite entrance of the arena, the cheers of the audience ringing in his ear, wideninhis smile once again. Asalways, Shinji had made a friend on the battlefield... he wondered what else would comein the days following. "Just one more step towards the top. Won't forget him when I get there though... that's for sure."
