Path to Glory [PRIVATE, NK]

As they finally arrived, Anko's smile would also fade as he could immediately notice a strange power this girl possessed. His Sharingan would turn to the Third Tomoe as the Uchiha could immediately sense a greatly focused chakra source. "Just how powerful is this girl?" Anko thought to himself. Strong winds could hover over the battlefield as Anko would bounce himself back, giving decent distance between the two (40 meters). "Ready!" Anko shouted, smiling as he would await the Hyuuga's first move.

Yuri immediately noticed the change in Anko's eyes. Three tomoe sharingan? He's already falling like Obito. Hopefully someone is keeping an eye on this Uchiha. Yuri knew all too well the bloody and violent history that the Uchiha were famous for. Yuri examined the tactic Anko was using. He was trying to gauge Yuri's abilities. Yuri knew she really had no real hope of beating him but, she would try her best. Yuri was never good at retreating. Yuri created three clones and simultaneously transformed herself into a harmless rock. The three clones rushed at Anko, spreading out to attack from either side and in front of him.

Anko would laugh. Within moments he could already witness the Hyuuga on a standstill as he could still read her chakra, the three copies not revealing otherwise. As the three clones would attack, Anko would perform what he'd call a "star tactic." As the three clones would rush towards him, he would spin on his head, performing a twirling kick with both legs as the performance would seem like that of a tornado, the circular round-about with the Uchiha's legs ready to take out the three clones simultaneously. In accordance to his own Clone Technique, Anko was positive that clones like these only attacked foolishly, thus he'd take advantage of the concept. The strike would seem inevitable as if it were to succeed, Anko would hop back onto his feet, back into his battle stance to unleash his second attack.

The clones rushed in and were immediately smashed and disappeared. Yuri felt the knowledge they had gathered and took into account the enemy's agile movements. He was limber and flexible. It wasn't a particularly impressive move, just flashy. Yuri knew the Uchiha could spot her but, she would stay where she was pretending that she didn't know so that she could hopefully surprise Anko. She would wait for him to draw near then release the transformation tech and land a surprise attack on him.

Having the clones vanish, Anko would hop back on his feet. He could perfectly sense the chakra confronting him as he would prepare himself. He would think theoretically as he would unleash a unique jutsu; a jutsu that was known to be unexpected, thus capturing the unexpected at the same time. Performing the proper hand seals, Anko would expel six small fireballs from his mouth. The fireballs would soar at an over-average rate (53), Anko manipulated the trajectory so it would only deal minor damage to the Hyuuga if hit successfully, the fireballs to scatter around the girl merely to cause a minor explosion. The fireballs would be as strong as the Uchiha's chakra (53) as this would be the case for the Hyuuga's safety. Each fireball would be manipulated to land seven feet away from the Hyuuga, three on each side as the only expectations were to really knock the young lady off her feet (not burn her alive)

Anko's Statistics

[OOC: Anko obviously knows where you are as of this point as the rock you transformed into still projects your chakra to his eyes]

Yuri saw the hand signs forming and the chakras building in Anko. Obviously preparing for some jutsu. Yuri was not going to stick around and be blasted by some unknown technique. Using the substitution jutsu she switched places with an actual rock, just out of Anko's sight. While out of his sight, she changed back to normal and used her water blades to lunge at Anko.

The flames would hit as Anko would notice the chakra source relocating itself. However, the flames would still cause a major impact as a major part of the training ground would become a wasteland. Without hesitation, Anko could notice the muscle tensions and how fast the girl was moving, thus making a response. To respond to this, the Uchiha would perform a Substitution Technique himself, relocating himself a fair distance away from the Hyuuga (20 meters). Anko would have to come to a standstill for now as his previous technique would have quite the impact on his chakra system. However, this would only be part of his plan. Maybe not moving would give the Uchiha an advantage over the Hyuuga.

Yuri stabbed Anko straight through with her blades of water. Yuri could plainly see that this wasn't the real Anko. Her Byakugan told her that much. Where he went, however, she did not know. Yuri decided to take a patient approach to this challenge and simply sat where she stood. Using her Byakugan, she kept and eye on the area around her, pointing her head to the ground. Yuri concentrated on her chakras flow and breathing while she waited.

Several thoughts would go through Anko's mind as he would think about what to do with the Hyuuga before him. Having seen her scan the area as he vanished, Anko thought about how she was able to get to him so quickly. "Can she read my movements too?" Anko would think to himself. Then it came to him. There was something about reading muscle movements. Of course, with Anko's Sharingan, there is always a flaw with reading chakra, and that is if the chakra source moves too quickly. Anko would be on a standstill once more, still hidden as he would watch over, ready to make an evasion at any given point.
