Mountain Fun [P,NK]

Souji looked straight at Tee and saw the confused horror in his eyes, the young genin having a look of concern on his face. "Why are you looking at me like that?" He asked, looking upwards and seeing the two grey bone protrusions coming out of his head. He almost screamed like a two year old. But he managed to hold it in to just a 'mrph' of concern, the young, demonic-looking boy running his hands along the curved horns and flinching a bit, feeling a tad shock cmonig from the horns as if to say 'don't touch'. At the moment, he was a plethora of things. Confused, scared, and excited were three of the most prevalent feels. He was confused on how he became like this. It reminded him of the figment he fought within his mind. He was scared because he didn't know if these aesthetic features would be permanent or not. He was excited, however, at the prospect of gaining a new power for his personal use, albeit at some strange cosmetic changes to his person. His muscles groaned and ached at both the electricity that once ran through him and the pain that he was in, the Genin falling back on his butt and holding up a hand. "T-Time out." He said, quite loud enough for Inijo (or anyone else) to hear.He especially made sure that Tee heard him loud and clearly.

He sat there for a moment, checking out these new features of his and using the kunai from earlier to check himself out. It was...odd, all right.The black markings on his face and forehead were a foreign concept to him. Never in all of his readings had he found something like this. He liked the new fangs, however. It would make for a much easier time when eating his grandmother's sweetened pork roast. The wings, however, were a different story altogether. He liked them as well, though they proved to be a bit cumbersome as he tried to stand up, only to fall back from his still numb legs and the weight distribution in his body. They were big, there was no doubt about that. His full wingspan was about twice the length of his body. Though, he had to use these things somehow. He focused his mind, envisioning himself as a bird. He needed to think about 'flapping his wings' so that he could try to take off. It took him a couple tries to get up, and even more to get in the air. He had knocked up so much dirt and dust, however, from the powerful wingbeats of his ebony feathered wings. Though, he managed to get himself to hover, his wings not touching the ground and visible exertion showing as he flapped those large wings of his, his muscles in his back and wings straining as he flapped them. Crimson blood flowed from the lacerations on his body, a grunt of pain coming from him before he fell back down, albeit gently, right on his feet...then promptly sat down on the ground from his legs still being tingly.

"This....is odd. Something like this has never happened before!" He said honestly, not seeming distressed but more worried that more....drastic changes would happen to his psyche and to his body so long as he couldn't get this current predicament fixed. "Mind if I take a break? I need to sort some things out with my body before I fall flat on my face while I try to fight the both of you." He said, trying to get up once again, his legs shaky and his wings starting to act as a counter-balance as they flapped and kept him steady bit by bit.

Tee looked up at the transformed Souji in awe, Tee caught himself and knew he had to clear his face from all emotion so Tee did so. On the outside Tee looked not at all in the least phased but on the inside Tee was as disturbed as ever. "How had this even occurred, was this done purposely and if so why now" Tee thought to himself? But Tee also felt a rush of excitement as maybe Souji wasn't as weak as Tee had initially deemed him to be, maybe his hidden power would prove Tee otherwise. Tee looked toward Souji with his kunai ready as Souji still looked a little dazed and confused and Tee was ready to give him some battle scars. But then Souji himself looked rather confused looking at the new additions on himself. As Tee readied himself to rush in he heard Souji call for a time out. "There were no time outs in a real fight, but then again this was a spar for a reason to prepare for those moments." Tee stopped and dropped his guard. Tee put the kunai back into it's pouch as he watched Souji still amazed at the transformation that had occurred. It appeared that Souji was getting used to this new transformation as if he was not used to it. He got up but fell right back down either from Tee's lightning clone's effect or because he was just not balanced because of his transformation. Either way Souji just was not ready to fight right now and Tee had to take that into account. It seemed Souji was trying to see if he could fly. Dust was being pushed up and was blowing all around Souji as he attempted to fly in his devil like form. The closest he got to flying was a few feet off the ground in a little hover.

Blood flowed from the lacerations in his body, this was rather weird as nobody had even really touched him to the point to where he should even have those, so where had they come from? Where they a side effect of transforming into that? None of these things were Tee's concern as he was already asking himself too many questions that he would probably never know the answers to. Then Souji asked to take a break which Tee really did not want to do but did not show his displeasure about. Tee simply kept on with his expressionless face and walked over to a rock which was 10 meters away from Souji and 15 meters from Inijo. The rock itself was rather large as it was about 4 feet off the ground and it was circular at about 7 feet in diameter. Tee hopped up on the rock and looked toward both Souji and Inijo. Tee holding Yami in his hand had allowed it to transform into one of the forms he had not yet used before. He turned it into the large shuriken form which was about three and a half feet wide and long, it was pretty small but that's how Tee was happy with it. Tee stuck it into the rock as if Tee wanted to he could easily penetrate and even slice through the entire rock with ease as Yami was very sharp. Tee looked over to Souji so he could signal when he was ready to fight again. Tee had already devised a plan in his mind that he would take into action against Souji once he was ready. Tee would now focus on Souji because he wanted to gauge his new found power and how he would handle it.

TWC: 3420

Inijo looked back at Souji, who had just asked "Why are you looking at me like that?" or something of the sort, Inijo hadn't really heard correctly, or maybe he did. Either way, he looked at the confused Souji who had just looked up at the horns on his forehead. He seemed to be confused about his transformation, giving the feel of the fact that he didn't seem to do it purposefully. He stuck a single eyebrow up as Souji sat down and said "Time out". Inijo was quite confused, perhaps as much as Souji, or even Tee who didn't seem to be effected when it came to facial appearances.



He remained staring at Souji. He kept switching back to Tee, who was now sitting on a rock while holding a giant shuriken like object. What happened to his shield?... He could seemingly make random objects appear without the need for hand seals, perhaps it wasn't a jutsu which was summoning the equipment Tee used in battle. Either way, it would grow to be a problem when it came to fighting him. He looked back at Souji, noting the bruises. Inijo knew Tee's clone couldn't have caused these, considering his jutsu allowed for the moderation of everything above ground, however he felt like having a bit of fun, as well as delaying the discovery of his jutsu's abilities a bit. "Geez, what'd Tee's clone do to you? The damage looks almost too serious for sparring bruises.." He said, wondering if it was aggravating either, whether it be Tee who may or may not have been taking the spar a little too serious or Souji, who, according to Inijo's acting, couldn't handle the clone. His clones had gone off, away from the area. They were hiding behind a rock not too far away, about ten meters. It was large enough to conceal both of them. They simply waited for the spar to resume, which seemed to be taking forever considering Souji's shock. Inijo was obviously still surprised, as he kept starring at Souji's new appearance. When looking back at Tee, he seemed to be starring at Souji. Was he waiting for a symbol or sign that Souji was ready to spar again, or was he also surprised? Both were possible. He just sighed in patience.

After about 5 or so minutes of experimenting with his new body (I.E, waiting for the numbness to go away, feeling on his horns, and playing around with his wings to learn how to use them more effectively for flight), he got up quickly. His legs felt quite a bit better and overall, he felt quite good! "Tee's clone didn't do this. I might be inexperienced, but i'm not that weak. I fought...something in my mind. A demon. It messed me up pretty bad and my mind must've played tricks on my body." He admitted. "There is a saying that the body is only a slave to the mind. It looks like that might be true with all these bruises and cuts that appeared." He said, looking between the two as he spread out his wings. "I'm ready, lets fight!"

He didn't know if he was up for fighting, but, experience mattered! He got back up quickly, flapping his wings powerfully to kick up the dust in his area, making a shroud of dirt and dust to cover his hiding. "Time to fight and see what I can do!" He said, his voice booming from the dirt shroud before his presence disappeared, his scent covered with the smell of dirt and debris whilst his movements were covered by the shroud of dirt and dust. He quickly shot up, using his wings as a boost as he went up the side of one of the mountains with the 'tree climbing' technique that he had learned, finding it a bit difficult to hang on to the rocky sides of the mountain. Though, he had quickly threw the kunai he had been using earlier to check himself out right back at Tee with a speed of 35, his muscles bunching up under his skin as he threw it. He followed it quickly with a familiar lightning technique, having quickly charged it in his hand whilst he was in the dust cloud, the ball of lightning curving to the side instead of going straight at Tee as he tried to go a round-about way of fighting Tee.He'd pick up a piece of rock from the ground as he dive-bombed Inijo, using his somewhat-mastery of his wings to veer off to the side when he was five short meters away from his fellow genin, not wanting to get into a straight up fight just yet, especially with his chakra stores starting to run low. He'd just start throwing rocks at them from different positions, using his newfound mobility to his advantage. He'd set up his substitution technique when the last of his four rocks left his hand, ready to counter-attack if need be.

As Souji started to move Tee grasped his shuriken in his hand as Tee was ready to put his plan into action. First Tee wanted to see what exactly Souji was going to do though. Souji flapped his wings which picked up the dirt and dust in the surrounding area which if Tee had not had his eyes would not be able to see his movements. Since Tee had his Meigan he could see Souji's chakra through the dust and would watch his movements as he ran up the side of one of the mountains. Tee watched intently as Souji threw a kunai at Tee. Tee made no attempt to dodge it instead to took his shuriken and came down on it as it approached Tee cutting the kunai in half and causing it to fall to the floor in front of Tee on the floor in front of the rock. Tee saw a projectile lightning strike heading toward him and quickly rolled off the rock landing on his feet on the floor successfully dodging the lightning attack. Tee completely ignoring Inijo, launched his shuriken right at Souji. Right when the shuriken would get within 1 meter of Souji Tee would perform the replacement jutsu replacing himself with the shuriken. The shuriken would be where Tee stood on the floor by the rock and Tee would slide forward kicking Souji in the chest. Tee was pretty confident with his abilities and knew that if this didn't work that Souji was simply better than Tee thought that he was.

TWC: 3678

Inijo listened to Souji's explanation on where he got the bruises. Souji had gotten up before explaining. It had seemed as if he was getting used to his new body.. acting as if this was permanent..  He mentioned something about fighting a demon in his mind. And then he mentioned that the body is a slave to one's mind.. Inijo had figured the boy had probably lost it from being beaten so hard.. But meh, whatever he wanted to believe was his choice. Whether it put him in an insane asylum or not. He watched as the fight resumed. He slowly got up, as everyone had ignored him, which somewhat pissed him off. So, he made two more shadow clones. He watched as Tee was forced off the rock he stood on, Inijo had noticed the chance.



Meanwhile, while Souji was explaining, Inijo's two pre-made clones were burrowing themselves under with the Hiding like a Mole technique. Each were headed for both Souji and Tee. One for each. He was repeating his triumph card, which may be easy for Souji, however when it came to Tee, he knew this trick already.



Inijo was determined it would work this time. When he saw Tee jump off the rock and throw his shuriken like weapon, he took the chance. He sent both clones directly at him, at a slower pace.  They were moving at the speed of the ones underground. Luckily Tee has yet to see Inijo's full speed so he wouldn't be suspicious. The underground clone quickly took note that it couldn't detect Souji, this was the one pursuing him, so he simply waited. Inijo's above ground clones attacked Tee. One jumping up, making an attempt to punch his face, and one dashing on the ground, attempting to punch his stomach. At the same time, an underground clone would make an attempt to grab his ankle, which will most likely be successful rather or not Tee is punched or not.



He then turned to Souji, who had made it look as if he were diving at Inijo, though instead he seemed to stop five meters away to pick up rocks. Strange, though then he began to throw them at both Tee and Inijo. He simply began to perform a set of hand seals, and he hid underground using the hiding like a mole technique.

Souji watched quite a few things happen at the same time. First off, he was being attacked...while he landed for a bit to give his wings some rest. The shuriken replacement technique somewhat caught him off guard, but, not by much. He had expected as much from Tee. He flapped his wings powerfully, blowing an air-current at Tee as well as moving himself to the side somewhat in conjunction with a little hop avoid the attack from his sparring partner. He could feel the kick glance off his ribs somewhat, which made him flinch, but he didn't really feel too much of the kick. It felt somewhat...light. He had no will to attack him, since he had the feeling he would get the everliving hell shocked out of him if he did. Instead, he just kicked a rock at Tee, jumping up about three meters into the air before flapping his wings, flying into the air. He was starting to get a hang of flying. He just kept his distance from the two, waiting for an ample moment to strike. He remembered the lightning field that Tee had used on Inijo's clone, and Inijo was being too quiet and too still for Souji's liking. He couldn't wait to see what they could do though, the young genin continuing to flap his wings.


He was visibly panting, however, his stamina starting to run out and his chakra stores starting to run dry from his use of jutsu and the like. After he had (hopefully) dodged Tee, he would go about flying around, not making for an easy target if either of them started to fire at him, his powerful wings still continuing to kick up dust and dirt from the ground, even though he was now ten meters from the ground. He frowned visibly at when Inijo hid under the ground, wondering if that is where he went the entire time. He wanted to keep off of the ground then, to not fall prey to the landshark that was Inijo. The emergence of the clones from the ground revealed his suspicions, wondering if Tee could shimmy his way out of that predicament without his help, since it was a bit unfair to group up on one person, since this was just a friendly spar.

(TWC: 5266)

Tee performing the replacement technique successfully replaced himself with his weapon Yami and landed a kick off on Souji. It appeared the kick hadn't much effect but hey a kick was a kick. Performing the replacement technique Tee had avoided the underground clones that he didn't even know about and still didn't. Then a rock came flying at Tee which he easily smacked to the side with his right hand and watched as Souji took flight into the sky. Tee then glanced over at Inijo who burrowed underground performing the technique he had performed before. Tee noticed that was the reason Souji was flying and now Tee was an open target as he was simply standing out in the open vulnerable to Inijo's attack. Tee not wanting to be a victim of Inijo's attack had a plan, he stuck out his hand recalling his shuriken which flew toward him. It floated into his hand as Tee allowed his Yuumei chakra to flow into it. Seeing as Tee knew his opponent was underground he needed something that would help him even after he got caught. As Yami transformed Tee jumped into the air 3 meters hoping that it would finish transforming before he hit the ground. According to Tee"s assumptions he should have enough time to transform Yami while also avoiding Inijo's attack. This spar was finally becoming interesting which is what Tee liked about it but soon Tee was going to head off as he had other things to take care of. But when he left he knew he would fight these people again one way or another.

Inijo could tell that Tee was no longer on the ground due to his technique. He sighed, and noted how tired he was. He couldn't really fight any longer.. at least, the way he was. Planning certainly required a lot of effort.. especially carrying one out.. He wondered. He had his clones keep an eye on Souji, and they would disappear should he try to aim for the original Inijo's location with any sort of attack.. minus simple ones. He was mainly doing this in case of something like Tee's previous jutsu, where birds began to chirp out of no where. He certainly didn't want to be caught up in that attack.. considering the damage it had done to the ground alone.




His clones watched as Tee had appeared above Souji. He had used the substitution technique, a rather basic technique, though incredibly useful as Tee had just proved. Using this technique, one can switch places with another object, a life-less object. It also could confuse enemies and make a good get a way. He sighed, wondering if he could have mixed that technique in with his plans..



He noticed something, Tee was back on the ground. And, fortunately, near the clone that was heading for Souji in the first place. He would use one last technique, as one of the above ground clones headed for Tee, and another one focused on Souji. The one focusing on Souji began to take out a chop stick, which may seem weird for the two. However, this chop stick had combat value as it was capable of piercing through mainly anything, including people. The clone wouldn't throw it unless needed, and that would be if Souji was getting to close to Tee and had the chance of ruining Inijo's plans.





His clones performed the same jutsu, and made attempts to grab the boy's ankle. After that, if successful, would pull down with them. As this clone was making the preperations, Tee would be recalling his Shuriken like weapon, the same way he did his shield.. by extending his arm, it would fly towards him. Noticing this, the above ground clone heading for Tee, grabbed the Shuriken which was right next to him, due to the fact that it was originally moving to punch Tee in the original area he stood in. It then, with it's other hand, pulled out a chop stick. It had no idea on how powerful the strength for recalling this shuriken could be, so it simply held on with one hand, rather than wasting the opprotunity to attack as well as delay Tee's weapon. With this, Inijo was also testing something. He seemed to always want to recall his current weapon when he changes out. Perhaps he couldn't have two weapons out with whatever he used to make weapons randomly appear.. Though, he wasn't too sure.



As the clone was grabbing it, successful or not, Inijo would rise up from the ground. This is to make it seem as if he wasn't aiming to attack Tee. He was tired, so he didn't move quickly. He figured slower movement would allow for him to regain at least some stamina over a fight, though he could be wrong. He simply waited, for both Souji and Tee to make a move. Inijo had noticed, as soon as he got out he noticed the amount of dust. Inijo's clone, the one who attempted to grab Tee's ankle, had failed, so it had come out as well. One remained underground, and that one was finishing off Inijo's plan.
