As the Hokage took his three steps, Klaus would lower his stance. At the start of the spin he would step back with his left foot, grabbing the grip of his left boken with his opposite hand. drawing the sword partially he would block his opponent's swipe, just below the tsuba, but allow it to keep going. bringing the boken back into his belt he would use the tsuba to strike the Hokage's boken downwards, while simultaneously pushing himself forwards for a shoulder check. He doubted it would send his leader off balance, but Klaus would do everything he could to push him backwards. "Initiative or no, Bushido will not allow me to fight with such strategy as to slaughter those unaware." Klaus responded during his block and push.
"If your opponent is facing you and aware, then it is not slaughter, nor against Bushido. They knew where they stand and have had a chance to cower or retreat by such a point as the drawing of a sword is ever a consideration." The Hokage stated as his blade careened forward and beyond his opponent, who then tried to use his own pommel but the Hokage slid with the movement, as they had put equal force into it.
Sidestepping a few paces away his eyes trailed those of his student. So eerily similar, so reminiscent. He kept moving, knowing not to engage and chase or try to overpower someone using a rigid style when himself using a fluid one.
Another spin, this time counter-clockwise would have the Hokage draw two more bokken beyond his first, one in each hand and one tucked into his elbow on the left arm. Launching himself off of one foot towards his opponent he would cross the two blades on his left side and collide with Klaus with his left side forward, before suddenly crashing the bokken in his right hand down on the other two, forcing more leverage against the genin.

Three. His Hokage spun around the other direction, pulling two more swords from his person. With a quick movement, wasting now time, Klaus would take a step backwards with his left foot, just far enough to parry the Hokage's strike. His right hand reaching for his left boken, he would parry horizontally, just before the third sword would hit the other two. Now taking a step back with his right foot, he would use his leader's own momentum against him, pulling his right hand back, Klaus would push the attack to the right, staying back for in case he decided to extend he right arm for counterattack. "A readied blade is a readied opponent. I am not so frail as to be out-sped so easily."
"Don't let confidence beget arrogance, Klaus." The Hokage spoke as he continued in the rotation, having seen the changes in the boy's body as he shifted, another bokken flying out towards the genin as the Hokage carried through the motion.
As he landed his stance shifted and he held 6 of the seven blades, the other one having landed off to the side of Klaus to prevent his carry though, moving them into varying positions around his body, dancing and beginning to shift them around further. His motions became a dance as he continued to move the blades around his body and juggled them while holding position away from the genin for a moment. His crimson eyes watching the man before him, awaiting his movement or assault.

To this last statement Klaus could not think of a counterargument better than his own actions. Placing his left hand on the boken below his right hand, holding it in front of him. Focusing his chakra into the boken, a white chakra appeared around the sword. Slowly moving towards the wooden sword his kage had dropped, he let not his focus waver from the man for an instant, even if mere feet from the grounded sword. Upon reaching the sword he would kick it behind him with one foot, a clattering sound as it hit the wall away from the tatami. Waiting for another strike, he would weigh his options with what little time he had.
Masahiro leapt from the ground and twisted his body slightly as he rose, two bokken separating from the interior of his knees as he did so. A quick tuck of his body would result in a front flip, kicking one of two bokken directly at the genin, Klaus. Then as his body worked into a second rotation he would kick the second one down for him as well, both blades coming at a different interval and speed so as to keep the younger Hatake on his feet.
Coming to land the elder Hatake would keep the blades dancing around, now all four he held were contained on his upper body, one in each hand and one tucked into his right armpit, the other in the crook of his left arm. His crimson eyes whirled as he watched the genin and attempted to parse out his next move, while keeping himself moving as well.

As the Hokage kicked his boken at Klaus, the boy would rush towards his opponent. Slashing at the first sword, downwards, he would have enough time in between projectiles to turn his blade and slash the other sword, upwards and left of Klaus. Finally nearing his opponent he would make his attack from about eight feet away. Judging the distance with his own wooden sword, the chakra around his weapon would extend, making the range on the sword reach close to eight feet. With a diagonal slash he would aim the scabbard across the Hokage's abdomen. Some of the tatami to Klaus' right would be slashed as well, a fine deep cut from a finely focused chakra scabbard.

Crimson eyes followed the boy's chakra scabbard as it began to dance more around his sword. He deflected the first blow easily enough, then with a turn he forced more chakra through his blade and extended the chakra scabbard beyond the blade. As he moved to swing at Masahiro the elder Hatake took the initiative. Chakra flooded his body and he dove headlong towards his opponent, his crimson eyes turning to view the edge of the chakra blade as he continued forward, less than an inch between his face and the materialization of chakra as he burst inwards.
Stopping immediately before the boy his blade would shoot out, striking at the man's inner forearm in an attempt to force his blade outward and away. His eyes locked on those of his student as he virtually appeared directly in front of him. Cocking his head somewhat he would then thrust his left hand, the inner palm of the gauntlet clad hand, wrapped in leather, aimed to grabbing the boy's collar as the distance was imemdiate.
"Very good." He spoke without breaking the pace.
"Had it not been for the Sharingan I would not have had the timing to react to that so well. You pass." The elder Hatake spoke, eyes still locked on Klaus'.

The Hokage dodged attack just as Klaus predicted and proceeded to hit the chakra coated weapon away. As his right arm was pushed back, it would brush against the boy's tool bag, knocking it off and spilling it's contents out, a single Hatake scroll. The boken would shatter against Klaus' own, but manage to push it a little farther back. To follow up his attack, Klaus reached for his other boken with his left hand. In an instant, however, the Hokage would speed up and grab the genin's collar, closing the distance in the blink of an eye. As Klaus tried to pull his second weapon out, he found he couldn't, with his target being too close. Panicking, the younger Hatake would bring his first sword forwards. Upon hearing his leader's praise, however, he would remove the force behind the attack, and instead gently tap the Hokage's side with the hilt. Klaus stared at the Hokage, his gray eyes meeting the red glow, and the chakra dying down from his boken.

Hearing the clatter of the scroll hitting the ground, the Hokage would reach down and retrieve it shortly after letting Klaus down. It was worn and old, the Hatake Clan diamond on the outer shell of it. He expected other Hatake to have scrolls like this, but not with the main branch variations of the crest drawn upon them. His eyes examined the scroll for a moment more before he applied his hand to the center of it, unfurling the parchment.
Within he saw familiar drawings, sketches of his own from a time long before. But he assumed it was just chance, maybe someone had drawn similar diagrams about the chakra workings of the Hatake Clan. Perhaps another child spent all their time in a treehouse writing these techniques and diagrams. But after several moments of inspection, his eyes fell upon the kanji in the torn up bottom right corner of the scroll. His own name, half written and torn up from age and wear, as well as small signs of electrical scorching. His crimson eyes immediately set back upon the young Hatake before him and he wrapped the scroll sealed tight.
"You, where did you get this? Your Raiton is white and permeable, like my own, so you obviously have ties to my bloodline, but this..." He was caught in some level of shock, between tears and anger.
"I gave this scroll to my wife and son, nearly fourteen years ago. Who the hell are you to have this?" The Elder Hatake demanded of the boy.

With the release of his leader's grip from his collar, the Hokage would go to retrieve Klaus' items he had lost amidst the spar. "A-ah, my scroll...." Klaus would say as the elder Hatake picked up his scroll. What came next would shock Klaus, though. Accused by his kage for possessing an item he should not have, Klaus stumbled backwards slightly. At the Hokage's question Klaus would look to his left, silent. He could say his reasons, but at a time like this it would not prove a thing. Klaus would also want to protect his parents, who had given him the scroll as part of his graduation gift.
"You're not in trouble unless you don't speak, boy. Where did you come upon this scroll? It's the last inkling of my family I have. If there's any chance they're still alive, if there's some clue to what killed them, anything boy." The Hokage demanded as he gripped the scroll tighter.
"Wait, no, you can't be..." The Elder Hatake spoke as he inspected the boy's features.

Klaus stayed silent for a moment more, then spoke, reluctantly. "I got it as a graduation present from my parents. You can do whatever you want to me, just don't do anything to them. I'd probably be dead if not for them." Klaus looked more towards the Hokage now, though slightly to the side still. He was still hiding things, but he didn't feel them necessary to talk about at the moment. Klaus was confused when the Hokage started talking to himself, but didn't show this.
"I'll let them be for now, but first you will listen to this question and answer me when you've thought about it. Does the name Shin'ichi mean anything to you?" The Hokage asked, dropping the remaining bokken and kicking them off towards the wall.
His eyes made contact with the boy, but shortly thereafter he would find himself wandering away.
"Come back to me when you've had time to think, and not been so rattled." Masahiro finished before exiting towards the Academy side of the wall.

Combat Styles: Hsing-I Pakua: ○ Supreme Awareness: For every stage learned, the user gains a passive ( slight ) awareness bonus. ○ Invigorate: The user utilizes chakra, and sends it to the body to eliminate fatigue and restore stamina. For every 10 chakra sent, 20 stamina is restored. True Belief: The user has meditated and trained long enough in this monk art to understand how important true belief is. By understanding the power of the spirit over the mind, and the mind over the body, the user has increased their stamina by sheer will power alone, as well as increased their toughness and durability. ○ Satori [ Enlightenment ] : Meditation and spiritual exploration and understand yields interesting results. Due to the greater understanding of the self, the user is more aware of the connection between their mind, body and spirit, and how to utilize that connection. The user is now slightly more skilled at just about everything. Striking, blocking, moving, absorbing, and taking damage. King of the Iron Fist: ○ Iron umph: The users ability to tense, stabilize, and execute hard blocks and strikes has increased, making blocking power slightly more increased. ○ Iron resiliency: The User has gone through tough enough training, being banged and moved around in armor to understand what it feels like. The user is now slightly more resilient to damage. ○ Iron Disciple: The user, through hours of intense training in multiple bad scenarios, has learned the old saying of “to kill with one punch.” Because they do not want to find themselves outnumbered, or maybe for pure enjoyment sake, the user is able to hit with great intensity when striking a foe, focusing on tension, grounding, stability, and strength at the impact sight. The users striking strength is increased. ○Iron resolve: The user has been thrown around, impacted, and beaten down so many times that they are not just physically more resistant, they are mentally used to getting their a** beat! The users physical and mental toughness is increased, granting a passive stamina increase. Nigirikobushi no Shintou: ○ Impact Resistance: Upon completing this training, the user suffers no recoil damage from techniques from any non-Rigorous Taijutsu or Bukijutsu Style up to either the highest trained rank in this Style or the highest trained rank in the Hard Physical Formless Style, whichever is lower, and does not suffer damage from striking anything harder than their fists. ○ Focal Point: The user meditates through combat, taking time to narrow their focus to their Chakra pathways. In so doing, they become innately aware of when they are being observed in combat, and can pinpoint the locations of anyone below their rank observing them within one meter. Shigure Souen: ○ Insight Rain :: The user will practice extending themselves into the atmosphere, in a sense. After much dedication, the user develops the ability to sense hostile intent in the immediate area. As to where, however, they cannot be sure.

Klaus stood there, motionless as his kage gave him some space. Shinichi..... It was so hard to remember, but the name did seem to ring a bell somewhere. Klaus stood there for a few minutes, but to him it seemed like just a few seconds. Snapping out of his small trance, he would look around him. He had dropped his boken, the other tucked into his belt still. There were wood splinters all over the floor from the spar, and a cut tatami mat from his own attack. Cleaning the area up, he salvaged the boken that were still usable and returned them. Picking up his now empty tool bag he left for the academy, preferring to get the matter over with.
