This exhibition match, with a prize of five credits is between two of our older members. Kurosawa Shinji, RP’d by one of our strongest and most famous Rpers, Cobra_X! Versus, Tensaiji Kouteinoshi, RP’d by another ancient POTS member, who seems to have returned from a long bout of inactivity, Martin Spiralwave! The crowd is wild in the stands as these two fighters enter the arena, waiting to see just what will happen!!
The arena is basic. A round arena of two hundred feet, smooth stone flooring and hundred feet high walls before you reach the bleachers. Scattered about the arena floor are large slabs of upturned stone, granting space for cover. Each fighter enters from opposite ends of the arena. FIGHT!

“I’m not in Yukigakure anymore,” mused the young man while resting on his haunches and cooling off in the soothing shade of the arena walls. The pillars, honestly nothing more than ugly slabs of upturned stone, reminded of him of the natural architecture found in the uninhabited wilderness in the Land of Snow. The muscled shinobi appeared to be heavily clothed in black but despite the complexity of multiple straps and buckles, the gear could easily and quickly be thrown off to reveal his true fighting gear…. A black sleeveless shirt and black pants. They were simple, generic clothes designed for fighting and it would take some time before they would begin to show signs of wear. From his neck to his nose were clean bandages that only showed a faint outline where his lips were. Above these wrappings were a fearsome pair of eyes, abysmal black sclera and radiant amber hues that glared harshly at the faint ripples in the air as heat beat down on the foreign ninja.
“Truly, I miss the eternal snow and beauty of the motherland,” he complained with a longing look to the clear blue skies. Truthfully he only knew he originated from the Land of Snow due the random memories that would erupt from the recesses of his mind in a flash of white and-
“Terrible winds pierced his skin through layers of protective clothing, scratching tender flesh with tiny shards of ice. He shook and shivered violently but continued to trudge through a foot of thick snow, deliberately lifting each leg and stomping through the resilient white powder”
The memory melted away as quickly as it came and Tensai's vision cleared.A heavy sigh managed to escape his bandages and Tensaiji Kouteinoshi placed a hand onto the hilt of a standard steel katana, only slightly used but definitely nothing spectacular or unique.

 Kurosawa Shinji| Clan: N/A, yet | Ninja Types: N/A, yet | XRP Free Agent | Genin ||| Shinobi Profession: Ninjutsu Specialist || XRP Profile || Honestly Shinji hadn't quite been ready for a match to come to him so quickly, but it stood to reason that many others would be as excited about this XRP as he was. Only seconds after he posted the challenge, practically just turning around even, he was approached by a challenger, a silky, smooth talking man, who looked confident. Quickly looking back to his post however, he could see that not one tab was missing off the challenge, but two... meaning another had challenged him before... "Sorry my friend, it seems someone has beaten you to the punch... but don't worry, after I beat him, I'll come back here and we'll have a match. Deal?"
Without waiting for an answer, Shinji cast the man a smile and then moved off to the arena, where he saw a man all dressed in black making his way there, carry a small strip of white paper. Figuring that this was the man, Shinji smiled and then broke away, moving to the opposite side of the arena. anticipation began to rise in him, a feeling of nervousness, but more then that... excitement. Here he was, ready to make a name for himself and prove himself to the people, the managers, and himself. He would win this match, and all the matches afterward and forge his way through this world as he always had. Standing before the entrance way, he saw his opponent come onto the scene and calmly, but confidently strode into the arena.
With the eruption of noise all around him cheering his entrance, Shinji felt an immense wave of excitement, joy, and anticipation rush across his skin, tingling in every limb and vein. This was a fight, a battle to prove himself... and he would. Standing tall, about 5' 11", he strode confidently in, his arms tanned and muscular, showcased well by his sleeveless vest. His hair was a musty, greyish white color and he wore a smile from ear to ear as he approached his opponent. Slung on his back was a standard steel sword he had bought at the shop here. He wasn't sure if he'd ever use it... he had been trained to, but seldom used any kind of weapon other then his kunai. Walking slowly forward, his baggy, long grey pants swayed along with the threaded decoration off of his vest until he stopped, about 15 feet from the man, the threads still dangling with momentum as he stared down his opponent with a grin that showed a slight bit of excitement... and maybe a small amount of arrogance.
"Hey there buddy... Ready to Dance?"

Finally, his opponent had arrived!
Tensai rose to his full height of five feet and nine inches while he watched the older man with a guarded expression. He seemed very enthusiastic and ready to fight but Tensai had a thought while he was waiting for his opponent. While he was rising he lifted his Steel Katana from the ground and held it lightly in his naked left hand, angled downward with the cutting edge facing the ground. He manipulated his lips and skillfully loosened the wrappings around his mouth, allowing him the freedom to clearly voice his thoughts to Shinji. He didn’t smile, but maintained a professional demeanor while he spoke.
“I have a proposition,”
Tensai had a deep, resonating voice that fell warmly on the ears of anyone listening to him at the time. It was far from beautiful but it wasn’t harsh or cold, simply…pleasant. It didn’t fit his external attitude in anyway but still that chocolate voice spilled forth across the fifteen foot distance that separated the combatants.
“Swordsmanship and hand-to-hand combat. Minimal use of Ninjutsu or Genjutsu but the basics would still be allowed. What do you think?”
This wasn’t a plot to play into Tensai’s hand and he tried to make this sincere as best as he could by spreading both arms wide. Honestly, he preferred the thrill of physical combat of ranged elemental attacks and illusionary arts. He got his excitement up close and personal, fighting with everything and anything until his body failed him. He had no formal training in Taijutsu or Kenjutsu but he knew the basics and could improvise from their. By observing Shinji’s physique it seemed like he would relish the idea of a close combat.

Kurosawa Shinji| Clan: N/A, yet | Ninja Types: N/A, yet | XRP Free Agent | Genin ||| Shinobi Profession: Ninjutsu Specialist || XRP Profile || The voice that came from his mysterious opponent was strangely soothing and far from what his external appearance might have made the imagination think his voice would sound like. Upon hearing the man's words about a proposition, Shinji was intrigued, letting out a curious "Oh?..." before hearing the rest from the man. As the man spoke, spreading his arms out to show sincerity of some kind, Shinji merely smiled, amused at the concept. However, in the end, it was a strange concept to him. Why limit himself to just one set of tactics?... that would get boring and he wouldn't be showing his full range of abilities to those possibly looking on.
Bringing his right hand up to his chin as a sort of distraction, his left hand floated behind his back slowly as he stealthily weaved a strand of metal wire through the ring of a kunai behind his back. Making sure to distract from that arm, Shinji made wide movements with his right hand, brushing his face and tapping his chest as he hummed a pensive "Hmmm..." to the proposed question and walked slightly closer, within 10 feet of the man. "An interesting proposition, I'll give you that... and a novel concept. I do like my hand-to-hand combat... but in the end, it sounds to me like you're just trying to LIMIT ME!" With his preparations finished, just as he had said the words, Shinji whipped his left hand out from behind his back, his hand tightly wrapped around a metal wire with about 10 feet of slack on it. At the other end of the wire, the attached kunai was sailing through the air in a wide arc off of his left side. With the momentum of the throw, the wire was quickly taut and fully extended, whipping the kunai through the air on the perimeter of the 10 foot diameter arc, aimed to slash across his opponent's right side.
A broad smile leaped onto Shinji's face as he did this, an almost crazed look coming over the man as the thrill of battle took him over and he relished the momentum behind the first attack and the ensuing fight to come. The string itself would be practically invisible, but the kunai attached to the other end would be clearly visible, but moving fast! Shinji had made a make-shift manriki and had swung it at the perfect arc, the kunai screaming through the air with incredible speed at the end of the wire, the sharpened point and edge aiming to slash directly across the man's left bicep and if all went well and he was caught off guard, across the man's chest for a quick and painful first blood. With the man's sword in his left hand, and his arms stretched away from his body, blocking the attack would be incredibly difficult, and this sudden attack would hopefully give Shinji an advantage on which he could capitalize and press forward. As the attack was launched, Shinji also palmed a small ball in his right hand, in preparation for whatever came as a reply from his opponent.

It seemed like the excited combatant was honestly considering his proposition and Tensai allowed his arms to fall back to his sides as Shinji approached. This isn’t to say he relaxed, Shinji’s excited expression easily revealed a love for battle and Tensai wasn’t exactly sure he was one-hundred percent…well sane. A slim eyebrow rose along a tanned forehead at Shinji’s obnoxiously wide movements and it took a few brief moments for the younger shinobi to determine whether or not he was being led on by the irrelevant motions. Once Shinji spoke again, Tensai turned his attention to the man’s words and quickly frowned once he felt a ‘but’ coming on. His surprise was clearly visible on his face once Shinji exploded into motion, seemingly whipping a kunai far too his right only for some ‘invisible force’ to draw it in a wide arc towards his unarmed side. It was fast and unexpected, an ingenious action, but Tensai easily fell into a ‘battle lull’, sending his left leg forward and pivoting to the right while extending his right hand towards the incoming kunai. He timing wasn’t exactly perfect but he managed to palm the hilt of the kunai, earning himself a cut along his flesh as the kunai spun inwards. This is also when he encountered the string but he made no indication of obtaining this knowledge, wrappings his finger around the hilt of the kunai. From the corner of his eyes Tensai could clearly see his opponent and a cruel smile spread across his lips, obscured by his loosened bandage.
“Keke, clever,”
His hands came together to form a tiger seal and the string and kunai instantly crackled to life as Lightning elemental chakra streaked through the wire and kunai. Strings of electricity flashed through the air and a bright blue glow illuminated the field as surging chakras filled the improvised tool. Shinji would probably feel the metal wire begin to heat up and dig into his flesh while harsh surges of electricity travelled along his right arm and painfully assaulted his body. The brilliant sapphire light would slowly fade as the surge of electricity trickled away but not before Tensai stabbed his katana onto the string and reached behind his back to grasp two kunai which were flung directly towards Shinji’s upper and lower torso, respectively.
Completely avoiding this swift attack would be incredibly challenging, especially since a painful surge of electricity had yet to fully fade from his body. Tensai charged forwards after this attack, grabbing his weapon while quickly dashing towards his hopefully dazed and injured opponent. He tossed the katana into his right hand during his charge and kept the bladed edge facing behind him with the entire weapon held slightly out to his side. The only interruption between the two combatants was a single slab, only about twelve feet tall and two feet wide, and it was placed three feet away and to the left of Shinji. If Shinji was still able to be cognizant of such miniscule facts, Tensai was slightly angled towards this slab and approaching very, very quickly. His black hair danced against the wind and the sun caught the glint of a lightly held kunai in Tensai left hand.

Kurosawa Shinji| Clan: N/A, yet | Ninja Types: N/A, yet | XRP Free Agent | Genin ||| Shinobi Profession: Ninjutsu Specialist || XRP Profile || As he watched his kunai swing on it's arc, Shinji's eyes filled with the excitement that only the anticipation of battle could bring him. The excitement turned to surprise however when his opponent shockingly caught the kunai, palming it as it flew, taking a cut across his hand and then gripping it. As he looked at Shinji, confusion would fill his face as the lines underneath the bandages moved slightly, indicating a smile. Without much time to react, Shinji tried to loosen his grip on the metal wire, but the single-seal technique and lightning were too fast to avoid as he watched the brilliant sapphire light flow down the metal wire, directly into his hand and arms, surging them full of electricity.
Letting out a brief and muffled cry of pain through clenched teeth, Shinji just barely had time through the pain of the shock in his hand and arm to look up and see two kunai heading his way. Struggling through the pain of the diminishing lightning chakra, Shinji just managed to angle himself away from the oncoming kunai, moving his right leg back to turn and pivot his body. Though he managed to avoid more serious injuries, both kunai grazed past him leaving two cuts across his left arm, the blood trickling down from each wound to make the injury look worse then it actually was. "Dang, marked me up right across the one I got in that Bar fight over in Sunagakure during that sandstorm. Didn't even know the guy cut me before I put the broken chair down... now I'll have to tell both stories whenever mentioning this one." Strange as it was, this line of thought was a common occurrence in the middle of fights when new "memories' formed on his arm, but it was always one of the first things to enter his mind.
Not to be distracted by the fact that the new upper kunai wound ran parallel to one of his favorite wounds, the broken bottle slice he got as he threw that drunkard in his home bar through the window to knock down a guy who was trying to run away after stealing one of the Bar's signature mugs... Shinji's eyes quickly caught the oncoming assault, noting that he seemed to be favoring his weapons rather then anything else. With the electricity's effects dissipating, though still leaving a painful burn... it was delightfully offset by the strangely warming effect of the blood trickling down his arm, which Shinji always enjoyed. Pumped up for the oncoming assault and continued battle, Shinji initiated his backup plan, reaching behind him to grab a kunai with an explosive tag attached. Dropping the ball he had palmed in his hand earlier, being careful to do so rather surreptitiously, Shinji jumped back from the oncoming assault which seem to be slightly slanted off to his right towards the nearest stone slab. Once the bomb connected with the ground, it quickly ignited, sending off a bright flash of energy which would be sure to blind his opponent and his assault. He then quickly whipped the kunai directly at a position through the flash where the man's chest would be, the end of the paper explosion tag already burning as the fire quickly ate its way down the note, ready to explode as soon as it got close to his opponent.
As the flash and following explosion was still a distraction, Shinji then formed a few quick hand seals, his innate skill to gather water from the air already gathering the necessary liquid to surround his body in a thin layer before it jumped off of him, coalescing quickly to form an identical clone of himself. Instantly, the clone grabbed the loose end of the wire attached to Shinji's side which was cut earlier, pulling it across the gap between Shinji and the 2x12 slab of wall off to side, pressing itself up against the broad side of the wall, hiding behind it, ready to leap out to Shinji's aid when directed. Shinji then quickly moved to his left, away from the wall, the thin, almost invisible metal wire held between them becoming taut in a line about four and half feet off the ground. Hopefully, through the blinding circumstances of the flash bomb and the point blank explosion aimed at his opponent... if he was even able to continue, he would have an invisible trip/garat wire to deal with shortly thereafter. He then waited, holding a kunai in his left hand, the wire tightly held in his right hand, which he was using to scratch his head, hopefully hiding the fact that he held a wire and was ready for whatever came next.

The opponent was very quick on his feet and rather tough as shown through his ability to avoid Tensai’s lethal attack after a painful charge of electricity recently assaulted his body and senses. The fighter was excited to face an opponent with such cunning but after nearly being ensnared in Shinji’s previous attack, Tensai decided to carefully observe Shinji’s movements and due to their rather close proximity, not much would go unseen.
Tensai composed his face to eliminate all traces of enjoyment in seeing blood trickle from Shinji’s wounds and his eyes narrowed once his opponent leapt backwards with an arm at his back, most likely grasping some shinobi tool to be used against him. As Shinji was leaping backwards, Tensai pushed his legs to move faster and launched himself towards the upraised slab, his original destination. Unfortunately a binding flash of light seared his eyes and Tensai clipped his shoulder against the sturdy rock, bruising his left shoulder and temporarily throwing him off balance while he was behind the cover of the slab. The unexpected explosion from his opponent’s kunai blasted dust and debris against his body but Tensai made sure to keep his body against the slab of rock and out of sight.
A wave of heat pressed uncomfortably against his body but during this pandemonium the shinobi grasped the clasp near his neck and unfastened it, quickly and completely loosening his heavy black attire. Two incredibly quick handseals caused the heavy black ‘robes’ to erupt into smoke, Transforming it into a replica of Tensai though it seemed gravely injured. It’s clothes were tattered rags and severe burns covered its torso but the replica seemed to be struggling to its feet while blood seemed to trickle from shards of metal imbedded in his skin. The replica was rather elaborated and slowly struggled to its feet, most of the bandages burned away revealing a seared face.
The real Tensai was still hidden behind the slab, quickly regaining his sight and hearing as the effects of the explosive kunai/flash bomb combination faded. He stepped away from the rock but still remained out of sight as the replicated expendable gear slowly rose to its feet and sluggishly held a kunai towards Shinji without a word.

Kurosawa Shinji| Clan: N/A, yet | Ninja Types: N/A, yet | XRP Free Agent | Genin ||| Shinobi Profession: Ninjutsu Specialist || XRP Profile || Watching as the smoke from the explosion cleared, Shinji thought that he saw his opponent dash away just prior to the explosion, but there was too much going on to be sure. As the dust cleared and his clone waited behind the slab, Shinji himself was about 20 feet off to the side, watching carefully for an attack, holding the wire and kunai on the ready. However, no attack came and eventually, a tattered, bloodied and gravely wounded Tensai emerged, pushing himself off the ground painfully. A slight smirk came across his face as he saw that his plan had worked and that his opponent was next to dead. Continuing to hold the metal wire secretly in his hand, Shinji dropped the hand he held the kunai in, flipping it around before pointing it at his battered opponent...
"That's it. Game over friend. You can't possibly think to still be challenging me in that state. Call it quits and you can come back another day, but don't throw it all away here. No point injuring yourself any further. Right now, you've got a week or so of recovery... call it quits and avoid making it a month." His taunting finished, he waited for a reply from the man, but got none as the figure simply stood and continued to hold the kunai towards him. The man had seemed like the silent type from the very beginning, but his overall demeanor didn't seem right. He was generally motionless, not speaking, not reacting... nothing. "Well?" Shinji said with an annoyed voice... "Nothing to say for yourself then?"
Again, nothing came from the man, prompting a wide smile to come over Shinji's face as he flipped the kunai in his hand again... "Alright then... can't say I didn't try." Still, in the back of his mind, something wouldn't allow him to relax, an itching feeling telling him that there was something else going on. With his opponent's position still unwavering and silent, he wondered perhaps if this was all a ruse or a trap of some kind. His lust for combat screamed for him to finish it, but his mind would have nothing so reckless. Weaving a few hand seals, a thin layer of water surrounded him once more as it had before, before splitting off in two directions, each side of the film of water eventually collecting and forming into two perfect images of Shinji on either side of him. Spreading outward from Shinji a bit, the clones kept watch as Shinji then whipped the kunai directly at the opponent in front of him, aiming for the man's lower torso, an incapacitating, yet non-fatal area to hit. This was after all, an exhibition, not a death match.

After hearing the opponent begin speaking Tensai poked his head around the edge of the slab, revealing as little of his face as possible. He cautiously observed Shinji and after his opponent began a brief sequence of handseals, Tensai's eye was attracted to the sudden reflection of light as the thin length of wire was jerked around within the combatants hands. Tensai quickly traced the wires reflection while two clones were formed. It only took a moment for Tensai to conclude some force held the string against the very slab he was leaning against. He never heard any kunai connecting against the stone either....
Tensai stealthily moved across to the other side of the slab with the stealth granted to those trained in the ways of an Assassin. He carefully placed his Steel Katana into his left hand and firmly planted a foot into the ground in clear view of the Water Clone on the other side. Unfortunately for this clone, Tensai swiftly pivoted and brought his blade in a clean arc that would behead the 'Shinji' holding the wire at the exact same time Shinji launched his kunai at the Tensai replica. In his right hand were two simple unadorned kunai held between his fingers. Utilizing the momentum from his swift pivoting attack Tensai launched these kunai at Shinji himself. The projectiles would screech as the Tensai replica burst into smoke and the Transformed Robe fell to the floor.
At their current speed, these projectiles would quickly convene on their targets of Shinji's upper torso and skull within seconds. At the same time Tensai charged directly towards the Shinji trio, moving in a controlled manner so he could quickly leap out of the range of any incoming explosives. Both of his hands wrapped around the hilt of his katana as toned biceps flexed, free of the restraint of heavy robes. Tensai's tanned shoulders were covered in a series of crisscrossing scars, stark white against tanned skin.

Kurosawa Shinji| Clan: N/A, yet | Ninja Types: N/A, yet | XRP Free Agent | Genin ||| Shinobi Profession: Ninjutsu Specialist || XRP Profile || Shinji's eyes immediately shot over to his first clone the second he saw the gleam in his opponent's sword glint off of the steel. Seeing that the image had poofed back into the man's cloak, Shinji smiled just as his own clone was decapitated and splattered to the ground in a puddle of water. "Hmmph, he must have been hiding on the other side of the wall... he's stealthy this one is. Clever too." Looking onward, the man's assault continued quickly as two kunai were loosed directly at Shinji, but he merely grinned and remained motionless as his other two water clones closed in in front of him, pulling out kunai as each one batted away one of the sharpened projectiles. Then, from both side of the clones, two shuriken came screaming out, arcing out slightly around the clones before curving back inward to aim directly at Tensai.
With a crazed look of excitement in his expressions, Shinji then grabbed the handle of the steel sword which was in the scabbard fastened to his back, pulling it out quickly creating a resounding ring through the air. Immediately he charged past his clones, heading straight on towards his opponent, dragging the metal sword's edge across the ground as he ran, creating grinding noise across the field. When he reached his opponent, he would swing diagonally upwards across the man's chest, from right to left, hoping to throw him off balance and push his guard up at which point he would then press the attack. When the two met swords, he would then push forward with all his might.
Behind him however, the second part of his plan was taking effect as his two clones were following close behind. The one on his left had grabbed the loose metal wire which was attached to the spool at his waist, pulling the 20 foot slack back, locking the mechanism on Shinji's waist, then tossing the twenty foot slack to the clone on Shinji's right. With one clone following the other, once Shinji's attack was made, they would circle around to his right while the enemy was distracted. Once the combatant's blade's locked, the clones would then cut a sharp angle behind the man just as Shinji would push forward, the intent being to trip him up and then tie the opponent in the wire. With only one clone holding the wire, the other was acting as a guard against incoming projectiles. For now however, they ran a few feet behind Shinji, until the attack was made when everything would be set into place.

As the two shuriken came towards him Tensau simply increased his speed and leaned forward slightly, allowing both projectiles to fly just over his back and crash against the upraised slab behind him. Afterwards, Tensai righted his body and focused on the trio of enemies.
Tensai winced as the painful sound of standard steel slid obnoxiously across the smooth stone floors, generating amber sparks around the blade as Shinji charged. Tensai observed both clones charging right behind his opponent and he immediately decided he didn't want to deal with three cunning shinobi of that caliber.Once Shinji charged towards him, Tensai began to slow down to focus more on his footwork.
He timed his movement almost perfectly, pivoting to his right just as Shinji was swinging upwards with his weapon. Shinji's blade literaly danced across the surface of Tensai's scarred shoulder but his enemies weapon would meet empty space as Tensai spun almost entirely around him. At the same time, Tensai's left hand led his katana in a wide arc that would quickly meet Shinji's body just as his controlled pivot came to an end. Tensai's momentum and the force of his swing would allow him to leave quite a gash against Shinji's back. The katana would cut deeply but would not quite penetrate to the bone, although the shoulder muscles would be badly damaged if the attack was successful.
Tensai had no intentions of waiting around for Shinji's clones to pounce on him while attacking the real Shinji and began a full on sprint off to Shinji's left, angling his body so he could keep Shinji and his clones in sight. Just prior to this he would be reaching into his pouch to procure three kunai with his right hand, launching all of them over his shoulder at Shinji's back. Due to their relatively close range(five feet or so) at the time of the throw and the speed of the projectiles, Shinji would be hard pressed to completely avoid the attack.
In the meantime, Tensai would come across both of his previously launched kunai and quickly dipped down to recover both before sliding to a stop and spinning in a shallow arc to face the hopefully gravely injured Shinji and his clones.

Kurosawa Shinji| Clan: N/A, yet | Ninja Types: N/A, yet | XRP Free Agent | Genin ||| Shinobi Profession: Ninjutsu Specialist || XRP Profile || As was often that happened, the most carefully laid plans are often unsuccessful. Shinji would nver have thought that Tensai would be ableto pivot away from his attack, but the man had done so, now placing him in a better position to attack. Seeing his opponent's movement however, Shinji dropped down almosti mmediately, tucking his body into a rollaway from his opponent's attack and off to the right. As he rolled, he could feel the wind from the blade's motion asit skimmed just above his spine... aclose of a call as he had ever had in a sword fight. Continuing the roll away, Shinji managed to right himself quickly, coming to one knee on the ground and looking up just in time to see the3 kunai flung at him. He could handle one of them, but the other two were sure to leave quite the mark when they struck.
Luckily however, his clones were still around as each one fired a kunai at the enemy's projectiles, deflecting two of them away just in time to all Shinji to bat the third away with a quick slice of his sword. His opponent was fast and agile making this fight very difficult, but Shinji was starting to see a pattern. Rising to his feet as his opponent simply stood, waiting for Shinji to make his move Shinji began to formulate a plan in his mind. A small smirk finally graced his face after a few seconds of thought, the plan working perfectly in his mind. Sheathing his sword, Shinji and the clones began to move around non-threateningly, more or less mulling around the same area, walking back and forth between each other casting a look of amused confidence and menace towards their foe. Of course, this was all a distraction as at the moment Shinji passed by one of his clones and the vision of his hand/arm was hidden from view, he palmed a flash bomb and continued to walk around.
Then, as Shinji passed by one of his clones again, his clone suddenly tossed a kunai at the man,but in the instant following, Shinji tossed the flash bomb at the kunai, igniting the flash. With the man so intent on his opponents, the odds of him looking away from the kunai would be next to zero, making it the perfect epicenter for the flash bomb. Weaving a few quick hand seals, Shinji was once again coated in a thin film of water before the liquid leaped off of him, this time in three directions, producing three more identical clones of himself. All of the clones and Shinji then charged the foe, using the distraction of the flash bomb, to hopefully surround and encompass him on all sides. It was also, at this point,impossible for Tensai to know which one was the real Shinji.
Each clone knew the plan... which was not to let the man escape, to give him no outs. In surrounding him, each clone was to wait for a movement of any kind/attack from the man, then instantly respond to it. Until that moment however, they would encircle him and trap him inside. They would all simultaneously reach behind them and throw a kunai directly at him, half of them assigned to attack his upper torso, the others to attack the lower and one of the kunai would have an explosion tag attached. It was understood by all that if any one clone was the focus of the man's attack, they would most likely be destroyed or be the focus of the flurry of projectiles. This particularly made Shinji ready to leap away from the blast once the kunai were launched.

TensaijiKouteinoshi Genin | Free Agent | Assassin Class | Chakra Pool: 18/25 | No Clan/Bloodline
Tensai observed Shinji's quick evasion of his swift attack and the timely intervention of the clones to deflect his incoming projectiles. Tensai was beginning to regret his decision in keeping explosives and flash bombs out of his inventory but he relished the challenge, even though it made dealing with his opponent exponentially harder.
Once Tensai came to a stop he was surprised to find that Shinji wasn't attacking or following only...pacing. This was inconsistent with his previous demeanor in battle and the sudden change in behavior worried Tensai. He examined his surroundings quickly and after looking over his shoulder, found a cluster of upraised slabs to be an appealing place to hide out. The nearest slab was only ten feet away and identical to the other slabs within that area in dimensions.
Every slab was at least twelve feet tall, three feet wide, and three feet thick. Many of them were within spitting distance of each other but there were no less than six of these slabs. A combination of well placed explosive tags would be able to damage several of them, judging by Tensai's eye. Tensai instantly responded by launching one of his shuriken towards the thrown kunai just as one of the Shinji's threw a second projectile, a movement Tensai noted with alarm. His hands were already moving together to form handseals
A painful flash of light would fill his eyes and their vision would be blurred. The blast would be detonated a lot sooner than Shinji planned, due to the intervention of Tensai's kunai possibly even afecting the enemy. The real Tensai however, wouldn't allow this distraction to stop him from forming a pair of hastily formed seals. Brilliant arcs of electricity lanced out from his body and were hurled forward halfway between Tensai and his enemies, coalescing into a single Lightning Clone, katana already drawn. Unaffected by the flash bomb the clones drew two kunai with its free hand and launched these projectiles towards the charging clones. The Clone would begin leaping backwards, only attacking if a Shinji clone tried to run past it towards the real Tensai.
In the meantime the real Tensai found his vision was already starting to clear and he could see hazy figures in the distances. He immediately spun on his heel and began running towards the cluster of rock slab, moving slightly unbalanced. The Tensai clone would focus more on evasion that direct combat, only stalling so Tensai could reach safety.

Kurosawa Shinji| Clan: N/A, yet | Ninja Types: N/A, yet | XRP Free Agent | Genin ||| Shinobi Profession: Ninjutsu Specialist || XRP Profile || Luckily for Shinji, with the speed he tossed the flash bomb after the kunai, it was ableto still strike it in the air, igniting the flash before the kunai was sent off course by he shuriken. With his plan in motion all of the clones rush forward, but to his suprise, the man had managed to initiate hand seals in the middle of all the insanity, leaving a trio of clones to block for him, leaving him free to escape to a series of nearby slabs of stone. "Tschhh... of course he runs away. He's been doing that the entire fight." Shinji thought to himself as he watched Tensai begin to run.
Flashing through a series of hand seals, Shinji charged forward with his already large army of 5 clones. As he ran, a veil of waer surrunded him once more, leaping off of him and following beside him as they morphed into perfect images of himself, running and already brandishing their weapons. Charging ahead, these three clones deflected the kunai flying towards the group, batting each one off to the side, leaving an army of 9 Shinjis charging forward. With each of his clones acting nearly exactly as he would and all in perfect unison, the 9 of them would easily be able to overpower and obliterate three lightning clones with minimal casualties.
Behind the three newest clones, 3 more clones surged forward in a sprint, drawing their swords and raising them as if to make an attack, but at the last second, when only a few feet away from their targets, they dropped down into a slide across the concrete arena, each one extending a foot outretched and aimed directly at each of the lightning clone's lower legs. Forced to move,or be tripped up by the slide, the lightning clones would have no choice but to avoid one way or the other, and each one could only move either backwards or to the sides. However, with the sheer number of attackers, it would be impossible to escape the next 2 waves as 3 more clones jumped up over the three clones performing the slide, only to toss kunai at the clone most directly in front of them. Then, as the lightning clones were busy with those attacks, the remaining clones and Shinji surged around from the sides, engaging them with blades drawn as they slashed across each clone's mid-section, dispersing them into wisps of hot air. They would have had no chance to deflect the incoming attacks of so many enemies agaisnt them.
With the distraction dispatched, Shinji's army of clones and himself moved towardsthe collection of pillars which Tensai had escapedto. With swords drawn, Shinji and two of his clones moved into the collection of columns, seeking out Tensai. "He can't truly hide in these with so many clones around..." The remaining clones outside of the columns quickly formed a perimeter leaving Tensai nowhere to escape without first engaging a clone, or Shinji. With the number of angles covered by the clones, at least one would spot him in the structure, which despite being a decent hiding place, could not hide someone from 9 pairs of eyes on all sides. Each Shinji brandishing a steel sword, once Tensai was located, he would be attacked by two clones, one performing a slash to his midsection, the other, slashing beneath that to cut off any escape below the blade as had been done before. Shinji would then follow, slashing at Tensai the second he was moved off balance with a quick thrust or slash,depending on the way he moved. If Tensai tried to escape, he would be cut off by the nearest clone to his exit, who would block his path with a large sword swipe, providing adistraction to allow the others to pummel him with a flurry of Shuriken, so long as they had line of sight, which several clones/Shinji would be bound to have. Tensai would be utterly surrounded and would have nowhere to run this time.
