The Knights from Seperate Kings[Private, NK.]

Hooves impacting the earth would resound near the borders of Fire and Sky, Arthur Pendragon and his horse Aggro ride up the shore until stopping just at the beginnings of the forested area that mark the beginning of the Fire Nation.

He's heard rumors of several monstrous Shinobi that slaughter all who cross the border without welcome, his clans mission requires him to cross but can he without being destroyed by the powerful Shinobi of the Fire Nation?

Sky has numbers but the Fire has the talent, he is ranked fairly high but he would not win in a battle against some of the stronger Shinobi of the Flame...

He crosses his arms over his chest and glances down at his horse "You got any ideas?" He asks with a quirked eyebrow the Horse rolling it's eyes in answer. "Don't get cheeky..." Arthur states in annoyance.

It was a fast and eventful "vacation" having just crossed back over the border into the Fire Nation after his recent endeavors in Kumogakure. With his activated dojutsu eyes the presence of another became apparent to him, and along the treeline of the border a man and has horse rode. Navi appeared in a blur of speed clearly in one the trees, standing atop a thick branch. One hand was tucked in his pocket and another casually rested on the hilt that stuck over his shoulder, the sheath on his back (similar to a certain green Hero of Time) for easy access to the Master Sword.

His bored gaze rested on the man, calling out to him with an apathetic but slightly bemused voice so that his presence would known.

"I hope you don't plan on crossing this border, Sky Ninja."

Arthur hears a voice and turns his head towards the man who spoke, he quirks an eyebrow before responding in a slight deadpan "I hope you don't plan on crossing this border, Fire Ninja." he returns with a roll of his eyes.

"Really...who would be stupid enough to walk right in the middle of enemy territory??" He asks with a shake of his head.

"I hope you don't plan on crossing this border, Fire Ninja." he returns with a roll of his eyes.

Navi blurs out of the tree and appears at the base of the trunk, his hands still in the same position as before. The boy slightly amusing him by denying his obvious initial intention of crossing into the Fire Nation.

"I hadn't planned on it, but now the offer sounds kinda tempting."

He steps forward a little bit, smiling a little bit as if jokingly challenging him with a small level of subtlety.

"Really...who would be stupid enough to walk right in the middle of enemy territory??" He asks with a shake of his head.

"Yeah, I mean what kind of ninja would be fast and sneaky enough to cross your incredibly well-guarded border?." His gaze remains deadpan now, no emotion being detectable in his words.

In a split second, Navi would disappear entirely from view, his chakra signature being suppressed and in essence his entire existence having seemingly vanishing. A few seconds later Navi reappeared in the same spot, the entire movement done with utter silence and not a single muscle seemed to have move from his original stance. In the hand that was previously in on the hilt of his sword he would hold one of the arrows previously in Arthur's quiver, having grabbed it at untraceable speeds and now twirling it casually in his hand.

"Trying to sneak across the border with a horse though? What will you sly, clever Sky Ninja think of next? Maybe next time you can tape some pots and pans to your legs and sneakily scream your way across our border."

Navi smiles slightly now, eyeing the boy and waiting for his reaction.

Arthur blinks twice noting the arrow in the Shinobi's hand.."Huh.." he blinks once more "Well...yeah...That's pretty fast." He says while registering the fact that, THAT just happened..

Well....Looks like he found one of the monsters that rumors tell about he coughs into his right fist slightly while dismounting Agro who stands wide eyed and still as a statue...Arthur sighs before nudging the horse slightly. "Your a noble steed act like it!" He whispers harshly to the horse.

Crossing his arms over his chest attempting too look regal his blades sheathed at his sides his shield over his bow and quiver of arrows on his back.

His attire being that of a blue tunic and brown pants.

"Mind if I get that back??" He holds out his left hand in front of his standing right in front of where the border would be the rock meeting the grass in a strange discolored line.

Navi caught himself smiling heartily for a moment. Something about the boy was likable and amusing to him. A slight grin appeared on his face as the boy dismounted from his trusty steed.

"Mind if I get that back??

Navi twirled it in his fingers, watching the boy as he wandered near the line of their borders.

"Sure, catch."

The arrow would fly with forward forth his hand towards the chest of the Sky ninja. The trajectory blurred, clearly not a friendly toss but an attack with considerable force behind it. This was all a test for Arthur however, as Navi was beginning to get intrigued by the boy and his conviction.

Arthur's eyes narrow before his right hand whips out snatching the arrow inches from his chest, he twirls it in between his fingers before sliding it back into his quiver quirking his eyebrow once more aiming his head towards the Leaf shinobi.

"That felt like it was aimed at my heart...that probably would have hurt." He chuckles.

Trace on.

Energy begins circulating through Arthurs clothes, reinforcing his tunic to be stronger better, the weapons on his person being reinforced to add 30+ to there health stat.

He takes two steps away from his horse who now looks extremely nervous keeping his eyes trained on the Leaf Shinobi..and his sword.

Navi watched the boy with a continued level of bemusement. His dojutsu analyzed Arthur's reflexes and muscle contractions as he caught the arrow. This kid was definitely skilled, but he was entirely out of his league. Navi let go of the sword on his back for now, he'd start small, see if the kid could put on an impressive show.

With the flick of his wrist a Hellfire kunai would fall into the grasp of his left hand, a moment later the blade of this knife being infused with a blend of Lighting, Fire, and Wind Chakra. The wind power in particular would pulse through the glowing blade, causing it to extend to the length of about half a meter, effectively creating a short sword.

Navi's form flickered and appeared directly in front or Arthur now, swinging his blade with considerable speed for the boy's neck, but slowing himself just enough so that a ninja of elite skill would be able to effectively react to the speed and strength of his attack. He wanted to enjoy himself, and something about this one brought him back to the old spars of his Chuunin days.

As the Shinobi flickers from his view Arthur ducks to prepare to move and upon his reappearing Arthur's eyes widen his legs bending further allowing the blade to pass over his head, as the blade is just over his head Arthur's right fist shoots forward aiming for the center of the boy's stomach in a straight punch his hips turning to allow maximum force.

If the blow should hit it would be enough to push the Shinobi backwards so Arthur may draw his blade and attempt to fight properly.

The knife is dodged by a well-timed duck, and similarly the motion is countered with a punch aimed for his chest. Navi jumps back barely out of range, evading the counter that was unexpectedly thrown by this boy.

Because of this range between him and Arthur, there is now sufficient distance for the Sky ninja to draw his sword, the movement already expected. A small, solid chakra thread crawls from Navi's finger tip, wrapping itself around the loop of the knife. With the outward flick of his palm, the blade swings again towards Arthur's midsection, the range extended like a whip by the application of a Shi no Tenshi thread.

Again, the maximum potential of Navi's speed and chakra is not relied on, this is rather a playful duel as he "crosses swords" with an honorable man on the field.
