Ascending the ranks. [P;Spar,Navi&Viper]

Viper's ears detect the crunching of grass as navi steps forth from hiding, the sound of a projectile being throw follows, the additional sounds of something trailing behind it adds to the air obstructions, his senses painting a vivid picture for him with the details that those with untrained senses would miss, Viper holds off on his Katon and plans a secondary motion, his eyes detect the kunai make itself known to the world that emerges from the clones right flank, viewing the wire behind it there must be a hidden motive, Viper dashes to his right which is the clones left, he keeps his head turned and his senses focused on the elements of battle, his eyes detect Navi's location and also the thing strand of wire, he notes it's length balled up in Navi's hand and what has been produced, he notes it to be eight meters, that is the range he must reach to ensure the attack does not go through.
His distancing does not take long, only a flicker of his motions to the untrained eye, he now faces the clones left flank from 20 more meters out putting him 20 from the clone and roughly 25 from the original, Vipers hands form the clone seal as two clones appear as stated before, the first on his left rushes the produced clone of Navi reaching its left side in only an instant as Viper's clone erupts in an attempt to take it out, the second clone reaches Navi's left flank as with a sweep of it's right leg attempts to deliever a swift kick to Navi's ribs, the original Viper simply watches from a far giving Navi something to defend against.

Navi was dumbfounded, the technique he had used to best a Jounin Jinchuriki and Chuunin alike had barely phased Viper. Somehow he could tell from the slightest wind current and trajectory pattern his movements. It was almost as if he didn't even need the Sharingan. He had even dashed just out of the way of Navi's detonation radius, which meant the clone had not exploded. It instead was binded by Navi's wire for a moment, before he yanked it free and coiled the eight meters of wire back up in his hand, placing the attached kunai back in his pouch.

It's useless to use this attack if he knows it's coming, I need to use something else. Viper now stood about twenty five meters away, out of the range of any jutsu or skills Navi had in his arsenal, minus outright throwing a kunai at him. Viper created what looked to be two solid shadow clones, not copies, which rushed him and his clone. Navi let his clone be taken out by Viper's allowing Navi to regain chakra from his dissipated jutsu. The other Viper clone ran towards the real Navi and would aim a swift kick to Navi's ribs with it's right leg. Navi had a moment to react and concentrated his somewhat replenished chakra reserve on his only ace in the hole.

Navi clapped his hands together and summoned forth his chakra, "RAVEN STYLE!" In an instant Navi was surrounded by a thick aura of chakra, which most importantly also gave him a significant speed boost. As the Viper clone aimed his kick towards Navi's ribs, he now had the speed to sidestep the attack and dodge it. Navi's dissipated clone would have dropped his ninjato about ten meters away from him. In order to counter Navi instead drew his Katana and aimed a swift slash across the clone's chest. If he missed then Navi would fly back using his speed and Raven Style wings to stand on top of the middle log. If he successfully hit and dissipated the clone he would turn his attention to the other clone that had recently destroyed Navi's original clone. In case Viper had any other traps or tricks, Navi kept his dense chakra wings held close to his body, ready to coil around and protect him if he so needed it.

Viper himself was no longer fighting, but instead watching further away and most likely analyzing Navi's skill and technique. Defeating these clones would most likely be his first step towards impressing him.

[Stamina: 6/11 (With the already Added Raven Style of +2)]

The only remaining clone that reaches Navi with it's partner detonating to ensure the kill on Navi's clone observes his motions with the Sharingan, he notes chakra build within him and the jutsu activate, the boy would attempt to move at this point but due to the raw speed behind that of the clones kick [115v63] he would find an evasion nearly impossible, the shin of the clone impacting his ribs with considerable force but with the new layer of chakra the kick does little harm, the clone resets position.

If the boy attempts to gain distance and draw his blade after the kick has landed the clone watches this and simply steps back out of range the blade simply cutting air, this allows the boy to once again get his distance as he flies back upon the log, the clone lets out a sigh waiting for the boy to show him more, is he just this strong that no one seems to pose a challenge anymore, or is this boy not fit for the Anbu? All he knows is the boy better impress him soon.

Viper watches from his stated distance as he simply plays with the child, his lips pucker a bit as from them is produced a clear liquid at first that forms in to that of a transparent bubble, four bubbles in total are created from Viper's mouth that float in the air infront of him under his control as he waits to see if he will need them.

Navi flew back with his Raven Style chakra wings and stood on top of the middle log, facing Viper's clone. The power of Raven Style was all Navi had left to rely on, after it ran out Navi would be nearly out of chakra. Navi held his katana in his left hand and crouched on the middle log thinking carefully. In the distance a few bubbles of some sort had been created in front of Viper. Despite his curiosity, Navi couldn't afford to worry about it now. Defeating this shadow clone would take every ounce of Navi's attention and concentration.

Navi began formulating a strategy as he rested on top of the log. He was building his chakra and would strike soon.

The clone has gotten bored at this point so has the original, perhaps he should let loose a bit and show this boy why he is the Hokage? The clones lips pucker from it spits forth a clear liquid roughly a gallon in amount that flies as one glob attempting to hit the boy on the chest, the clone watching his reaction to this closely before making any other actions, the original sits back simply watching for the time being, the space between the boy and the clone being that of 5 meters forcing him to use his extreme speed in order to evade the liquid.

Navi watched as a glob of mysterious liquid flew towards his chest at the close distance of five meters. Even with Raven Style activated, his raw speed alone wouldn't be enough to dodge the attack. Navi performed a quick handsign, using the body flicker jutsu to dodge and jump left, then immediately flank to get behind the clone. To the untrained eye Navi would look like he disappeared and re-appeared directly behind the clone with less then a meter between them. Unfortunately Navi didn't have the luxury of fighting someone with an untrained eye.

While Navi would successfully dodge the liquid attack, Viper may have tracked his movements with his Sharingan. Navi would only have a split second to make his move. With the katana still held in his left hand, Navi would plunge the blade deep through the clone's back, impaling him. His attack would happen instantaneously at point-blank range, making it difficult to dodge. With his right hand Navi performed the handsigns for a fire jutsu, preparing to use it and aim at Viper if he were to dodge and still be within a 10 meter range of him. The wings of the Raven Style would still remain ready to coil up around him, in case of any unforeseen attacks.

The liquid once evaded is left to splatter upon the central log, with a sizzling sound the liquid dissolved through the log within moments erasing it from the training field as the liquid soon dissolves in to the ground, the natural acid of the six tailed beast.
Whilst the liquid is left to act on its own the clone tracks his speed, even with the body flicker his motions are easily captured by his senses, it takes only a simple motion, Navi attempts to round the clones right flank, this motion nearly impossible for any other except for Viper with his super human speed, his right arm extends and curls slightly the muscels tightened, his form braced his right foot sliding back in unison with his actions, the combined motions of Viper leave Navi an obstical should he not find a way to alter his course of travel while in his extreme state of speed, Viper's forearm set to smash in to his throat in a closeline which would halt the movement of the upper body causing him to fall back upon the ground gasping for air at the strike to his neck, the clone sighs, "Get up." is the words that escape its lips as he steps back a few steps to give him room.

7/11 stamina, counter does not go down due to no chakra being used, only a simple arm movement.]

Even with Navi's extreme speed, Viper was far faster. Viper extended his arm to clothesline Navi by the neck. Navi was traveling to fast to dodge the attack but he was able to put his arm up in front of his throat to lessen the damage done. Viper's arm still did stop the movement of his upper-body and caused Navi to fall over less then a meter away from Navi's feet.

The clone sighed, "Get up." is the words that escape its lips as he steps back a few steps to give him room. The steps were very small and still kept Viper's clone within a meter of Navi's original position. Navi got up in a crouched position and sheathed his katana. Instead he drew his kunai knife (one that was originally attached to eight meters of wire) and threw it slightly to the left of Viper's clone. While Navi manipulated the trajectory of the wire with his left hand he performed the handsigns for his Dragon fire jutsu with his right hand.

This attack was twofold, the kunai with the wire was thrown slightly (about a half-meter between the kunai and Viper's Clone's shoulder) to the left on one side of Viper. While with his other hand Navi had blown a fire jutsu aimed slightly to the right (Covering the clone's current postion as well as 5 meters to the right). The flames were such that if Viper's Clone stood still, he would still be caught up in the blast. If Viper's Clone moved one way he would be binded by Navi's wire. If he moved the opposite he would be torched in the flame jutsu. If Viper's clone retreated backwards, he would still be caught by Navi's wire technique (unless he was able to somehow retreat eight meters backwards and out of range in such an instant.) as Navi was manipulating the trajectory of the kunai to wrap around Viper's clone completely, not just block one side.

This combined attack happened nearly the instant Navi drew his kunai, making it incredibly difficult for the Viper clone to react and evade, especially without an escape route to take and at such a close range to Navi.

The clone watches Navi's actions, they are interesting but nothing he can not handle, he decides to show off a bit, he watches as the Kunai is thrown, his left palm straightens to mimic that of a blade, as the kunai nears his left shoulder his left hand swiflt sweeps upwards, the left side of his straightened hand impacts the Kunai, the expected fails to happen, the kunai is seemingly erased from existence as his hand passes through it, only the ring of the kunai remains attached to the thread that Viper catches in his left palm, a perfect Jigen Tou being preformed, one of the Hokage's trademark techniques.
Whilst the kunai is dealt with through the clones left hand, a slight raising fo his right hands fingers generates a wall of Fire between the two men, the flames are condensed chakra flowing through them, the wall spans 10 meters in each direction, the boys dragon fire jutsu set to impact the wall and merge with it due to the higher class of Katon being that of an A-Rank, the wire is easily burned straight through as the clone takes this opportunity where Navi has his ocular senses cut off due to the wall of fire, and his audio senses blocked by the roar of the flames to flick his left hand forward, the ring from the kunai from before sent rocketing through the flames aimed for the pit of Navi's stomach, the clone perfectly aiming due to his many different methods of sensoys, the clone going up in a puff of smoke behind the wall of fire as it soon fades after he does leaving Navi to ponder the fate of the clone.

Viper stands at his distance of 25 meters and lets a yawn escape his lips, he watches as his clone simply toys with him in the distance before it vanishes out of boredom, perhaps it is time to spice things up, his smirk widens as he watches the boys reaction to having the kunai ring thrown back at him along with the other elements of battle.

After Navi's attack cleared something hit him in the stomach and he fell over backwards. It wasn't a punch, but some sort of projectile had hit him and it felt like he got all the wind knocked out of him. When Navi looked up the clone had disappeared and when Navi looked around he saw no evidence of a counter attack. Navi pushed the clone from his mind (as he had no idea what just happened) and focused on Viper.

Navi was out of options, the Hokage was far more powerful then him. Even the techniques he had used to defeat powerful Jounin and even a jinchuriki had absolutely no effect. Even worse was that he didn't seem the least bit impressed.

Navi used his chakra wings to fly directly upwards. The only weapons he had left in his arsenal was some solid determination and his clan's kekkei genkai. Navi flew about 15 meters above the ground, while still maintaining the twenty meter horizontal distance. Navi was ready to take evasive action and studied his opponents every movement as Viper smirked and watched him.
