Training

Nakara would sigh and sit for a moment as she landed and crouched. He would ponder for a moment before he was asked a question, and it struck him at his center," you want to know what my true reason for becoming a shinobi is Mezu-chan...well i guess i cannot just leave this out in the open. My real reason for being a shinobi is this..to break the shackles that my clan holds over me so that i may become the best ninja i can be, only then can my real goal commence," as he looked at her and smiled. After being asked has he ever trained in the trees Nakara would smirk," i do so in the early morning when the moon is still high in the sky," as he jumped back and threw his wires onto a branch pulling himself up onto a branch," well let's see how much you can monkey around with me," as he began to move around the tress, his movements more fluent and faster as he jumped from one tree to the next.

the redhead nodded at Nakara after he explained, she knew that a lot of clans were demanding of their kin, even the minor ones, and she could barely imagine how horrible it would feel. To be watched constantly by judging eyes and to be trapped in a cage that you couldn't escape, your own family.

But she threw those thoughts away, they would be for later contemplation. In the mean while she grinned as her opponent jump into the trees, her eyes lit up at the challenge.

"It seems we all have our issues" she muttered before jumping further into the forest "Come on then Mr Monkey! Lets see how well I compare!" she called out before throwing a kunai at his feet, the smoke bomb attached erupted in a cloud of smoke and Mezurashii disappeared into the shadows of the trees, watching her opponent.

Nakara would continue to jump through the trees laughing," okay Mezu-chan here comes the monkey is coming," as he saw a kunai coming towards him," Oh come on not this again," barley dodging it as the smoke bomb exploded sending smoke everywhere as he used his wires to swing out of it. He would land on another branch as he smiled," forever the tactician Mezu-chan...however lets see what you can do head to head," as he picked up his speed and started to head forward, using the wires to cut down branches and limbs as he performed the substitution jutsu and waited for her next move. As for his move, he would throw three kunai, one of which with a decoy explosive tag," hehe lets see you play keep up," as he continued to jump around.

Does he really think I'll for that? He said himself that we weren't to use explosive tags Mezurashii thought, either he's underestimating her or he thought she forgot, either way the redhead knew she wouldn't be able to hide for much longer.

"Right" she muttered, a plan formed in her mind. And with that she shot forward, dodging the wires as she delivered a powerful kick to her sternum. Before he had time to recover she sped behind him and punched his shoulder, she kept up with this tactic as she held something small in her hand.

Nakara would smile as he thought to himself," No one ever uses fake explosive tags, i just scribbled on the paper to make it look like one," as he continued to use his wires to swing and make the branches fall behind him. He would continue until Mezurashii came out of hiding. Finally he would see her as she sped towards him aiming for his stomach it seemed, but she would not see the next event as he disappeared in a plume of smoke her hits hitting a log as he appeared behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist," gotcha Mezu-chan," as he tossed her to the ground. With what he was doing earlier, the branches would be gone so she would not have anything to land on except for the ground, as he used the tree walking technique to land on the trunk of a nearby tree, preparing another substitution technique just in case. He would smile as he chuckled," Mezu-chan are you having fun like i am," as he smiled.

"Plenty" she smirked at him, she landed on the ground and immediately sprinted at him, the look he gave her was 'again? Really?' but as she drew near she took a deep breath and crushed what was in her hand, a purple plume erupted and enveloped them both.

Mezurashii replaced herself with a log, she released her breath before looking at the ground from behind the tree she was currently residing in. She grinned as she saw it take effect, that was a sense fooling bomb, meant to cause hallucinations.

Nakara would nod as he smiled," good good i do not want this to get dull," as he darted towards her at a high speed. He did not know what would happen as a plume of purple smoke enveloped them both," what the hell is this," as he coughed inhaling the dust as he landed on the ground," why can't i see straight...what did you do to me Mezu-chan...this is not cool," as he slowly calmed himself down and kept his eyes closed. He could not see and that was not good, but luckily he would have the only sense he needed, taking a deep breathe he would listen to his surroundings. Th wind became clearer and the trees and leaves could be heard better than ever," okay Mezu-chan bring it on," as he sighed and put his hands into the air waiting for her move.

[2025]

"Sorry, but I don't know how far were able to go, plus how can it stay intersting if we only use jutsu and weapons, plus you have your clan techniue" Mezurashii called out as she landed on the ground, she glanced up at him and felt a twinge of regret but she shook it off. This was a test of skill.

But as she looked at his slightly distressed face she huffed, she would have to make up for this one. Satisfying her conscience for the time being Mezurashii delivered a strong kick to his gut in his moment of disorientation before jumping into a combo of an upper kick that sent him flying in the air and a punch that made him hit the ground with a loud thud.

She was holding back, she knew it, but she couldn't bring herself to go all out on a teammate, let alone a friend. Mezurashii landed on the ground lightly and waited for Nakara to stand.

Nakara would smile as he chuckled," you are right...weapons and jutsu do not mean nothing if you cannot use the core- taijutsu when it comes down to it this will be fun," as he slide his foot forward as he heard the shifting of Mezurashii. When she got close to him and kicked he would disappear in another plume of smoke, his body appearing behind her as he threw a right punch at her side, bringing his right foot diagonally to her side in a high speed crescent kick. He would growl as he looked in her direction," Never go easy on me even if i cannot see i can still use my other skills to find you and fight you...Mezu-chan i want this to be fun, and i want you to give it your all okay," a smile would appear on his face as he grabbed his head band and tied it to his forehead as he pointed to it," Now come on Mezurashii and show me what you got," as he smiled and retook his stance.

[2203]

Mezurashii stared at Nakara for a long time before sighing in relief "okay Nakara, I'm just used to teachers saying 'don't go all out, you might hurt someone' which is ironic, you win. I will fight you lie a real opponent" she said as she tied her headband on her forehead, acknowledging him as a ninja.

And so with that Mezurashii shot forward at top speed and ran around him, while he was blind she brought out her last smoke bomb, this would get rid of his sense of smell.

Then she brought out her flute, got in close and took a deep breath. She added the required chakra before initiating Sound Blast, a shrieking sound burst from the flute which caused Nakara to stumble. When she stopped she quickly used his lasting disorientation to tackle him to the ground.

Mezurashii straddled his torso while holding a kunai to his throat, she panted in deep breaths. She wouldn't lower her weapon until he relaxed; the universal sign of surrender.
