Training And Summoning {P, NK}

Inijo watched as the shuriken was recalled. It apparently got passed the branch blocking it from Tee, how he wondered, though. Tee had used the weapon to break free from the roots. Inijo sighed, and began to wonder on what to do now. Perhaps he should en it all with the next technique? It's possible.. though he didn't want Tee to see his trump card if he ended up fighting him in the Tournament. "Oi, Tee, are you entering that genin tournament?" He asked. He figured he would know about it, and have signed up, though he could be wrong. He simply asked for curiousty, as Tee was still cutting up the roots. The boy had used that one jutsu, where lightning appeared on or around his hand, which ever phrasing it was, and cut the roots below.



Inijo watched as Tee was heading for a tree where his Shuriken was currently at. He wondered what he would do next, considering so far this technique proved effective against him. And with his trump card still in place, he could save it up against Tee and make sure that, if he did have to fight Tee in the tournament. According to his current performance, Tee wouldn't last long. Unless Tee was doing the same thing as Inijo, and simply testing him. 'Hey, you got better since the last time we sparred, I'm impressed' Somewhat strange to hear from an opponent, though made Inijo happy to hear nonetheless, considering the fact he had been working his ass off for these techniques. "Yea, and I've barely gone into what I've learned.." He said, beginning to show off, mainly for intimidation.  He held the snake sign, soon enough he wouldn't manage to keep ahold of this forest, he would lose his control over the vast forest of.. Chaos? No, not quite the word. Perhaps hell, maybe death. Then again, he heard that was taken. Life would simply due for now. He didn't show any worry, however, so Tee wouldn't suspect weakness. Inijo never let his guard down, and kept note of Tee's actions.

Tee stands on top of his shuriken which is sticking out of the tree and watches as Inijo continues to hold the snake hand sign. Tee concluded that in order to hold this forest like jutsu that Inijo had to keep his hands in the snake position. Tee in a way could use this to his advantage if he could simply get close to Inijo to do so. Tee heard Inijo ask him if he would be participating in the tournament. "Of course i will" Tee answered simply yo Inijo. After Tee had complemented Inijo, Inijo said "Yea, and I've barely gone into what I've learned.." This gave Tee the indication that he was hiding his best techniques just as Tee was. Tee had a couple of strategies and moves but he wanted to keep them under wraps so that Inijo would not be able to benefit from it since he was in the Genin tournament. Tee didn't really want to use his speed as he had seen no real reason to do so as of yet. But one thing that Tee would do is confuse the hell out of Inijo. Tee allowed the chakra to gather on his feet as he walked on the side of the tree. He walked around to the other side of the tree that he was on so that Inijo could not see him. Tee performed his Raiton: Electric Shield from behind the tree so that Inijo would not be able to see him. The shield enveloped Tee and sparked with its lightning affinity. Tee then performed the single hand sign required for the Lightning Shadow Clone jutsu.

He summoned three Lightning Shadow Clones to his aid. One appearing right above him standing on the tree with him, another on the floor still behind the tree though underneath Tee and the last appeared next to the second at the bottom of the tree on the floor next to the other clone. Tee sent the clone above him to run around the tree and to grab Yami which had just transformed into its hammer form as the clone grabbed it out of the air. The clone that had Yami jumped to the diagonal tree on the right and charged straight ahead for Inijo, the only thing was the clone was not aiming for Inijo himself, the clone was aiming for the branch Inijo was standing on as the hammer was powerful enough Tee thought to break the branch. Tee's Yami in hammer form had a health of 75. The two clones that were beneath Tee on the ground both rushed toward Inijo on the ground. One of the clones ran to the right of the tree while the other ran to the left. The one on the left would run around to the tree that was diagonal to the tree Tee himself was on and then over to the tree Inijo was on. The clone that took the left route would run up the tree Inijo was on and make sure he got above Inijo and would then jump off attempting to hit Inijo on the top of the head at the exact same time the the clone with Yami would get there. The other clone that was under Tee that went to the right would dash up the tree that was diagonal on the right side and jump off of it once he was level with Inijo attempting to punch Inijo in the face. Tee himself would slide down the tree he was on once all of the clones left and would allow the lightning chakra to go to his feet. Then Tee would run around the tree on the right that was diagonal at a speed of 166 and around to the back of the tree that Inijo was at. Tee would then deactive his lightning chakra feet and await Inijo from behind if he jumped back to avoid the clone's attacks. Inijo would have no way of knowing for one which was the real Tee since they all had lightning enveloped around them and for two he would not know that Tee was behind him.

Inijo knew he had let out some secrets when he said that, it was only for intimidation. Though really, his other techniques, or as he preferred to call them, his trump cards, would manage to defeat Tee somewhat easily. He sighed, and took note of Tee traveling around the tree, supposedly to hide something, a technique probably. While he could rotate the tree he choose not to. He simply used this time to think, what to do? While he could attack Tee, he preferred to wait and see what he had up his sleeve.



He heard the sound of a few poofs, and when he saw Tee, he had a lightning aura around him, just like when he last sparred him. It was a shadow clone, he was sure of that. The fact that the thing managed to pick of the weapon was proof of that, it was physical. It had properties of a shadow clone, the minor difference being the aura of lightning, supposedly a nature release.



He held his snake release hand seal, and more roots appeared on the ground, and would repeat past events if Tee wasn't careful. He watched as one of the clones, supposedly, would jump up with a giant hammer. He had used his clone to switch out weapons, it would seem that the amount of danger in the weapon had just increased, as he could use his clones to get him out of jam. He frowned for a second, having found a possible strategy to Tee's plans. He needed to end this soon, apparently..



Inijo stood, even though he realized a clone could smash him with a hammer. He stood still, however, the tree rotated back, to where the hammer would miss both Inijo and the branch, and the branch on the other side of the tree would be coming around at a somewhat high speed to hit the clone, hopefully hard enough to make it disappear, considering the trees both moved and had a strength equal to the amount of chakra he possessed. His chakra sensory active, he knew Tee was hiding behind the tree still, and he knew of the two other clones. One of the other clones made an attempt to walk up the side of the tree, presumably using chakra. However that would work, what with Inijo's ability to completely control a forest. He simply twisted a nearby tree to where the branches nearly met, and then he hopped on that branch, twisting it to where it was the farthest it could be from the original tree, which was thirty meters way from Inijo's exact position. He then began to manipulate another tree, one that the clones originally spawned from. Inijo began to wrap the branches of the tree around the trunk of the tree itself, causing it to hug itself. He then waited, his control only lasting a little while longer..

As Tee stood on the ground behind Inijo he watched as Inijo would rotate his tree so the clone with Yami would miss and Inijo then manipulating his trees would use the branch on the other side of the tree to hit the clone. The clone exploded in its lightning wisp about 2 meters from Inijo just beyond the range of the explosion by about a meter. The other two clones had missed due to Inijo shifting the branch and they had both fallen on the floor. They both ran up the tree one behind the other and once they reached level with Inijo one would push of the tree and kick Inijo on the face and the other would kick off the tree after the first one attempting to side kick Inijo's feet up from under him. Tee himself while this was happening would recall Yami as it was falling to the ground since the clone holding it had been destroyed. Tee allowed his chakra to be drawn into the weapon effectively changing what shape it would have. Tee then ran behind a tree that was behind Inijo about 5 meters away because if Inijo were to turn around he would see Tee on the floor. Tee made sure to pay attention to the roots and such on the ground so he would not have a repeat of what happened last time.

Inijo had took note of the exploding clone, then remembered that Souji was fighting one.. The clone had turned into what seemed to be either natural or artificially created lightning, using chakra. Perhaps it had capabilities to stun targets? That, or present some serious damage.. he took note to stay clear of them. Besides that, his jutsu's abilities were fading, he could use it perhaps one more time before he had to stop the manipulation of his forest.



The roots began to grow larger, whether or not they could be cut didn't matter at the moment. He was just trying to slow down his opponents. After that, he released his hand seal and took note of the three remaining 'clones'. He wondered where the original was. He couldn't sense any chakra besides the three clones, which was strange. He simply kept on scanning the area for the original, meanwhile he would have to remain fighting these three. With his hands free for combat, he simply prepared.


He took note of the clones coming up the tree, though they didn't matter. He took out two chop sticks, and three them both at each clone. Whether they dodged or not didn't matter. They were about five meters up the tree, a far distance from Inijo himself. He simply waited, and looked at the other clone. He saw that clone making an attempt to get behind the tree that Inijo was on. If the clones would get up here, it was likely that they would manage to knock him off the tree, though he wouldn't do so without a fight.

As Tee ran to the other side of the tree he hoped that Inijo hadnt seen him run around but he really wasn't too sure about it. In his hands Yami transformed from its hammer form and changed into its shield form, Tee then strapped this large shield on his back protecting him from attacks that would wind up behind him. Tee peeked around the tree to see what was going on and saw both of his clones explode into a shower of lightning but Tee did not know from what. Maybe Inijo had used the trees to destroy the clones Tee did no know. Tee needed to do something because Inijo seemed to be getting weaker and weaker the longer he held up this jutsu and Inijo had been holding up the jutsu for an awfully long time. Tee had an idea to defeat him but Tee needed to get him on the ground first, so with that Tee went back behind the tree and allowed his feet to become imbued with lightning which would allow Tee to move at a speed of 166 which would easily allow Tee to move faster than Inijo could even see Tee. Tee dashed up the tree with his speed and also ran to the other side of the tree while running up it which Inijo would have noticed was Tee not moving so blindingly fast. Tee once level with Inijo would then push off the tree he was on and then go to punch Inijo in the face which would knock him off of the tree and on to the ground. Tee would land on the branch of the tree and watch as Inijo fell down below. Then Tee would deactivate his lightning enhanced speed jutsu as he did not like to use it to much because it made the fight pretty boring since he was usually way faster than his opponent.

After finishing off two of three clones, he turned around to take a look at the third. Though strangely, he didn't manage to find his original position "Shit." He thought. He then began to remember something, Tee could go massive speeds, it wouldn't surprise Inijo if he had zoomed off out of the sensory field of his.. Though then again, Tee didn't know about Inijo's sensory abilities. He sighed, though in the midst of it, he was punched in the face. He wasn't sure by what, which is why it was strange. Was it Tee's speed which had been used against Inijo? Highly possible. If that were true, earlier theories on his speed were put to rest. He flew, the strength backing up the punch was not the man's true strength, it was his speed that had sent him flying. He made an attempt to grab the branch, if not this one then one of the few below the one he fell off of. If he was not successful he would simply land back first on the enlarged roots of multiple trees, they would bend upon falling on them. Due to them having been extended out, they made for a somewhat softer fall than expected. They continued to bend until he was on the ground, he simply looked up at Tee, who was where Inijo once was on the branch. Either way, Tee didn't seem to make another move, so Inijo began to analyze possible solutions to win the spar..

Tee watched as Inijo was launched off the tree by Tee's punch connecting with him, it had seemed Tee had finally connected a hit on Inijo who was basically prone to every single one of Tee's attacks up until this point. Tee was pretty proud of himself but he did not really want to have to use his speed to get his opponent off the branch but it seemed he had to. Tee watched as his opponent tumbled down reaching for branches on the way down. Seeing as the only two tree ahead of Inijo was the one diagonal to the right and left of the tree he was punched off of and the trees were both 6 meters away Tee did not see how Inijo would be grabbing onto anything. As soon as Inijo was tumbling through the air Tee jumped down from the branch landing on the ground before Inijo then charged his Yuumei chakra into his hand. As soon as Inijo would land on the ground about 1 meter away from Tee is where Tee calculated Inijo would land Tee would place his Yuumei palm on the ground activating his jutsu which would create a shadow dome around the two of them. The dome would create complete darkness so that only Tee would be able to see with his doujutsu. No amount of fire or lightning or anything else would provide light as the Yuumei chakra the darkness was formed with would easily absorb it and cover it with a blanket of darkness instantly giving it no chance to form.

The jutsu would force Inijo to rely on his other senses other then sight to be able to counter Tee's attacks. Tee allowed the Yuumei to form on his back and into the shield on it which would enable it to transform into what he wanted to use in this situation.

Inijo made an attempt to begin to perform hand seals, however darkness quickly overtook the area. He was blinded by the darkness, his vision was failing him. He would now need to work with his other senses, such as hearing, as it would be more useful in this situation. That, and smelling. Though he hadn't prepared anything to use in this situation which would aid his sense of smelling. With a sigh, he began to think, though needed to do quickly.





He stayed crouched, hoping his opponent couldn't see in this darkness either. If he could, then it would most likely mean certain defeat. He could call the match now, however, and simply stop the spar. Though that wouldn't be any fun, and it's not like he could do this in a real life or death battle. He needed to combat this jutsu, learn it's weaknesses. While analyzing it, he thought of a possibility. Was this the works of an Advanced nature release, similarly to how his forest was created due to his wood release, an advanced nature release unique to the Senju clan. This darkness could very well be the combination of two or more elements.. but, was this a clan ability? If not, he certainly wanted to get a hold of this technique, to better aid himself in combat.




He stayed close to the ground, he attempted to use his chakra sensory to get an exact location on his opponent, though it couldn't help him with the prediction of movement. He could sense his target's chakra on the ground, it was strange... though he could also sense Tee's chakra, his more natural chakra, one that hasn't already been cast into a jutsu.




Inijo needed to think about what to do, otherwise it would result in utter defeat. He could hear, he could smell, he could feel, and he could taste. One of those senses were completely useless. And then he had one extra sense; Chakra Sensory. He would need to find a way to beat him with just that, until this jutsu's effects wore off. Then he began to think.. this could be the work of.. 'genjutsu'. He may not have been specialized in it, however it was taught in the academy. It was an illusion cast by the user, and it effects the target's senses. His sight was effected by this "illusion" he assumed it to be.. though this could still be an advanced element.. he only thought of it being an advanced nature release due to the fact that he knew more about it than genjutsu. If he was a Genjutsu specialtist he probably would have figured it a genjutsu first.





Tired of sitting still for the past few seconds, he began to dash forward, towards his opponent. He clenched his right hand into a fist, and launched it forward at a level just above his own head, due to his opponent's height. He was aiming for Tee's face, whether it hit or missed, he would use his left hand to launch a punch towards his stomach. He could only assume he was aiming for his intended targets,for example Tee could very well be turned around, in which case Inijo may end up punching his target's back, and the back of his head, which may seem strange, though at least the fight was improving on his end, that is if he actually managed to land the hit.

Tee watched with his Meigan eye as the darkness enveloped around Inijo. Tee wondered what exactly Inijo would do now that he couldn't see a damn thing and  would have to rely on his other senses. But Inijo looked toward Tee as if knowing where he was which Tee was surprised by. Was Inijo able to see in the dark? Or was he using some type of sensory skill that Tee was not exactly sure he could possibly have. Tee saw Inijo go in for a punch for Tee directly in his face which Tee was definitely not on board with the whole idea of. Tee sidestepped to the right avoiding Inijo's punch. Then after avoiding the punch Tee would bring up his right leg and kick Inijo right in the stomach. After the kick Tee would jump back and quickly get a kunai out of his kunai pouch and throw it at Inijo aiming for his right foot.
