This training ground is quite simple. It has a strange, Japanese Zen garden-like setting, littered with various ponds and hot springs for water style training. Overall, anyone in this area will feel lighter...more comprehensive. Because of this, training is much easier in all aspects of the ninja arts. The only people in the ninja world with knowledge of this place are Mist shinobi.

Sin "Sinister"Uchiha The mist's Sage of Lightning Jounin
You are the Sin...
Sinran across the ponds til he got to the center of the grounds. he stopped in the middle of the water and awaited Katsu to arrive.
"Well, shall we start?" Katsu asked, not waiting for any foreplay. They both were in a bloodthirsty state, and only more blood could cure them. Katsu put his hands on separate hilts, planning to duel wield this fight.

Sin smiled and activated his sharingan, he knew he wouldn't be able stay toe to toe for long without his sharingan. Katsu was a brilliant swordsman and Sin only uses one blade. But he did have an edge over most with his style. He placed his right hand on the hilt of his blade and raised his other hand. "Heh as you wish my brother. Lightning Bolt Jutsu!!." He said blasting a bolt of stronger then normal lightning at Katsu. Than he took off running in a circle around katsu .
"Hm~!" Single Sword Rising Phoenix Katsu thought, transferring a small amount of chakra into his blade, amplifying it, then sending it out as a spiraling wave in a flick of his wrist, countering the electric bolt and, furthermore, destroying whatever was behind it. As Sin attempted to try to flank Katsu, Katsu released a second spiraling wave of sharp chakra at his opponent with his other sword, starting the fight slow and hoping to accelerate as the intensity picks up.

Sin Pulled out his blade and holding the blade reversed. "Shibuki Ame [Spraying Rain]"He thought as he spun to create a whirlwind countering the spiral and sending it back. In the next moment he created a lightning clone. " Lightning Fumma Shuriken" Said one as he sent multiple Shuriken of pure lightning at Katsu, the other dashed along side and slashed fromthe bottum left to katsu's right shoulder.
Sakamaku Ame [Surging Rain] Katsu thought in response to Sin's counter, bringing up a barrier of water around him and the Sin coming in at melee range. All the attacks broke against his shield, though also taking it down with them. Now turned around from the movement of the barrier, Katsu put his focus on the fellow swordsman in front of him, parrying Sin's slash with one of his blades, attempting an Attacco di Squallo, keeping his offhand ready for the other Sin.

At the moment as Katsu's blade collided with Sin's blade. The real sin detonated the lightning clone causing it to explode into lightning and the connection through current transfer caused the current to connect easily to katsu through his blade. From behind the detonated clone, Sin came bolting forward with lightning charakra running through his right hand as thrust-ed forward to he Katsu in the chest. "Shin's Touch." He thought as he did so.
Hm... It seems as though I lost... I guess I'm just not good enough to defeat him with just two swords. Katsu began to fall, the shocks of the clone's detonation being too much for his limbs to take... "Not," Katsu smiled, leaning just out of reach of Sin's hand, drawing his opponent in, angling himself impossibly. Dust Eater, the ultimate balancing technique. And at Sin's throat, Katsu placed the tip of his blade. Sin's first mistake was a trivial one for a shinobi, normally forgotten: A sword has a greater range than an arm. Taijutsu was naturally countered by bukijutsu. Katsu locked onto Sin, having his blade follow Sin's neck, wherever it would be. From this point, Sin would not be able to progress towards Katsu.

Turpis Velit
Kirigakure|-| Mizukage|-| The Pianist
"Two wrongs never make a right."
The Mizukage observed the electrifying exchange with a glimmer in his eyes. It was always a learning experience to see such skilled ninja in combat. Truly it was a symphony of friendship and murderous intent. Such a metaphorical tune was music to his ears, and quite the show for his eyes. Turpis was openly amused by the match. As openly as one who was clothed head to toe in white garb, save the splash of color upon his hat, could be.
Turpis was highly guarded when it came to his appearance, and made a point of obscuring his features even from the majority of his villagers. The only feature that all could see were his eyes, that bore black sclera and an emerald green iris. With such heavy clothing as his garb, it was a stroke of luck that he resided in water country which was known for neither heat nor humidity. In truth, he was quite comfortable.
It was in this comfort that he continued to observe the battle between two highly capable ninja.

You are the Sin...
It was a good move, but sin caught the movement of katsus body and rather than katsu's chest, Sins hand moved over as the blade tried to get sin in the neck and sin tapped his arm and preformed the Hikuhiku Eda no Jutsu (Twitching Limb Technique) causing katsu's arm to seize in pain and be unable to move. Sin jumped away at this moment, he felt a cut on his neck as well, with a small amount of blood dripping down. Sin smiled as he looked over to Katsu. "Glad were on the same team, even as good as my ability to control lightning is, Your ability with the blade is far superior to my own." Sin was a rank below Katsu, and considered it an honor he could even do this well in a challenge with him.
Once again, Armand was where he should not be. He was technically considered a jounin in Mist, but never really elected to wear the headband or formally pick up duties. He simply existed in the system for now. It wasn't his fault, he couldn't remember a damn thing. The village guards and watchmen had learned to stay out of his way, since there was really no reason to be in his way. Plus, his childlike mannerisms and strange lighthearted voice got to be creepy as all hell sometimes.
He yawned lazily and looked at the duel between the two. Armand liked to sleep in this apparently "secret" grounds. It was usually undisturbed. He barely registered that he was in fact, upside down. Somehow he had fallen asleep leaning against a tree with his head on the ground. "You two always manage to cross my path." He remarked in his usual sing-songy voice. "Had I known you were coming, I would have joined in." He'd do an awkward but smooth sort of roll onto his back and then stand up. With a creepily big smile and a wave to the Mizukage, he'd stand by him and continue to watch the fight.
"...Huh. Taking one for the win. Careful, though. Better men than me poison their blades," Katsu said, his arm limp, his sword still in hand. He had ways around it, of course. Sword telekinesis, Sanryu, Infinite One. Multiple ways to make up for a missing arm. The most effective of which... After placing his hand on his own forehead, Katsu channeled chakra through, and soon enough he gained full control of his arm. Well, mostly. His technique wasn't perfect with it yet, but when it was, he would become a demon of the battlefield. "Well, that was a fun duel. But, we've got a Mizukage to attend to," Katsu stated, turning towards Turpis, pacing to him. In truth, he wanted to fight the Mizukage as well, but would prefer to have all of his stamina instead of giving his leader sloppy seconds.

You are the Sin...
Sin smiled his sinister and famed grin as he watched Katsu walk towards Turpis and then followed suit walking towards their leader. "Come now Katsu, give me a little more credit. We both know that if we weren't comrades, both our bodies and this training grounds would be ripped to shreds." Truth be told most of the higher level shinobi in mist would love to challenge Turpis himself to a spar. But they all knew they had distance to make up for in strengths. Sin glanced at Armand as he turned off his sharingan. One of the other high ranking jounin in the village. He seemed lazy at times, but sin knew better than to think that. He then gave his attention to Turpis.
