Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sarume looked up and saw Nakaji coming down at her. She rolled out of the way, and came back up in a crouched position. She heard footsteps coming, but kept her focus mainly on her current opponent. "Let's see who has more skill in swordplay..." She noticed that her blade was much shorter than that of Nakaji, so she would have to stay fairly close to strike effectively. Luckily, she was close enough for just such a strike, and brought her blade up from her right leg up over her left shoulder in an upward diagonal slash.

Kasushi heard a very loud clang ahead of him. It couldn't have come from any shuriken. It had to be at least Nakaji. From what he saw, only he had a sword. It had to be Sarume, since Yamato and Oni were still in the same general location, and Kasushi himself was in a different section of the arena. While still running, he pulled out his second medium sized shuriken in his right hand, and pulled out one of his kunai in his left. He arched his right arm back, preparing to throw if he met any threats.

The next thing Oni noticed was this coming at him, before he could do anything it would strike him, he was thrown back a few feet out cold. when he came to he noticed that he wasn't where he was before. He sat up.

((Oni, just posting this so you something to do while everyone else is fighting, you wouldnt be left KOd on the ground in a battle ^_^))

Mizukage disapeared into a small cyclone, re-appearning next to Oni before doing the same thing again and re-appearing on his platform above the ensuing battle below.
He sat Oni against the wall and awaited his awakening whilst continuing to watch the others sparring.

Mizukage turned and smiled. "Dont worry Oni-san, as I said before, this isnt a test that counts towards anything, you should be proud of the way you fought today. Come and see from my view how the battle concludes"

Yamato had now saw that his Mizukage had lefted up Oni and now Yamato had whent off to the other's fight but then hide in the Mist after all he had only but a little chakra from his attack which took great chakra amounts and its almost unstoppable the Yamato had then rested to regain some chakra so that he may use jutsu's again and heard a fight nearby he now knew where to go after his rest and he said to himself as he rested " OK one down three to go " but felt bad for Oni one of his friends but wanted to be the Victor in the spar.

Kasushi heard more footsteps coming from a new direction. He had caught a glance of the Mizukage and Oni-aisu over the arena, so it had to be Yamato. Hopefully he didn't notice were he was hiding, but just in case, he backed off a little farther from the swordplay that was already underway. Neither had the upperhand yet, and both looked very skilled.

Kasushi's minor wound had stopped bleeding, so he unwrapped his belt strap and put it back around his waist. He'd have to fix the hole in his shirt when he got home.

The coming footsteps were gettin much lowder, but because of the arena they were in, it was hard to tell which direction they were coming from. Kasushi sup around slowly, trying to keep an eye on all directions. Unfortunately, it didn't work. He saw the glint of shuriken coming at him, but could not get out of the way in time. He was struck by three of the four weapons, one in the arm, two on the torso.

One or two injuries weren't too hard to overcome, but so many at once, and with so little chakra left, meant that Kasushi was probably out.

He thought to himself, I should have been more aggressive. Lesson for next time, I guess.

But he still had a little fight left, mustering as much strength as possible, Kasushi hurled both his medium shuriken and kunai at Yamato, hoping to take him down with him.
