Some training.[P,NK.]

"Thanks now let's continue."He told to Komizu trying yo be preapred for anything.He had as an opponent another genin,who was a strategist and a person who could think fast in any kind of situations,and this wasn't a good situation for me because he was training for an element,and he needed to fight so much,and to have such an will that he will unlock th element.If the fight wasn't great,or if he lacked the will then the boy couldn't unlock the earth element today as he promised to himself.His sweat,all what he did now,this was a proof that Kenzo would not fial,he will try to do everything so that he will get the earth element today and only today,on the other hand he was thinking how he shifted himself into a state tht he believed that never existed in him.but in fact it was unlocked in his heart a long time ago,and was now releasesd because he was thinking that he will not be able to defeated Koijin,since many of his attacks were not  succesful. and it was the first time for him when he missed so many attacks in just one fight,not even one attack being succesful,but now Kenzo came back to his senses and saw what Koijin could do,he could avoid attacks better then him and make strategies better than the ones he could make,so he could base mostly on ninjutsu but only when needed since most of his jutsu used a pretty big quantity of chakra.And he was right,the boy was faster then him Koijin was now behind him,trying to land an attack.Mostly based on his instinct the Senju boy ducked avoiding the attack and then lifted after that turned around and tried to hit  Komizu in the left shoulder with the sword,which was still in it's sheat,so if he would get hit he wouldn't be cut by the sword's blade.This time he wanted to hold back,to put this limit on himself,to use the sword but wen being used,the blade to be in it's sheat.

(OOC: Alrighty, we're close to getting you to 4000 words. Currently we are in the 3000's so let's do some more post until the 4th page.)

Kojin smiled a bit as he saw Kenzo react to his attack. He seemed to do it on instinct which pleased him. This wasn't just a match to get him his element, it was also taijutsu training for both of them. He knew about how Kenzo always relied in ninjutsu from his fight with Yukio. He wanted the other genin to learn that you cant just rely on one skill. Any moment in a battle your chakra can be sapped from you or drained from using too much jutsu. Then you have to trust your other skills to get you through.

Now, Kojin was naturally skilled in ninjutsu but didn't use it much. He saved his chakra and used jutsu as a trump card for when his opponent had run out before him. It was something he had gotten used to doing. It was also a part of his strategy. He narrowed his eyes as Kenzo went to his left and tried to hit him with the sword sheathe. The boy used his quick reflexes to face the other genin and catch the sheathe in between his hands. He struggled a bit since his teammate was the same strength again, but swiftly let the sheathe go and step side to Kenzo's right.

Kojin then put his feet in between Kenzo's and tried to trip him. He wasn't sure if this was going to work. Still, if his friend was really improving in taijutsu he should know what to do.

{WC: 251}

This was one of the best fights he ever had,but it was also a fight with someone who was a true strategist,since Kenzo was thinking that until now Koijin didn't used even one single jutsu and was asking himself why,he started believing that maybe he was using only taijutsu until the enemy will be stressed and will find himself in the situation to use ninjutsu,or will do so because Koijin will attack him with only taijutsu,then maybe his teammate will use one of his ninjutsu to win the fight,"Well this is something great."He told to himself,thinking that this was a great strategy,something that maybe he should use too,even if he had ninjutsu as a speciality,using the same strategy would  give the boy higher chances of winning. It seems that his attack failed since Koijin easily dodged it,but this was something that Kenzo expected since it was a move too easy to hit him,but Kenzo was going to try again and again until he would have the chance to hit Koijin one,at least one time that was what he wanted. After that Koijin did something that Kenzo was amazed now,he was holding the unsheated blade with his hands,but only for some time,and after that he was to the right of Kenzo.Koijin then put his leg between Kenzo's leg,trying to test him,or that was the boy thinking that he was trying to do.Kenzo  jumped  making sure that he won't fall,and when he was in the air at a distance of 2 meters from Koijin he asked the boy"How are you going to avoid this."Kenzo weaved the necesarry handsings and after a few seconds he expelled from his mouth water birds created from chakra sending them toward his opponent. The birds were going one by one toward the enemy,with the purpose to attack,they were used to pierce one's body.
[TWC=332]

Kojin grinned as he saw his opponent dodge his attack. He was doing very well so far! He hadn't used any ninjutsu during the entire battle and was doing quite well with his taijutsu. If he were anyone else he was positive that Kenzo would have gotten a hit on him with his moves. Sadly, he wasn't a different person and he was somewhat skilled in taijutsu. If you fought against Yukio with his Inuzuka jutsu and survived from doing almost nothing but dodging, you have to be skilled in the section of hand-to hand combat. Of course, there was always the other possibility that you were just speedy.

Kojin kept his eyes locked on Kenzo as he jumped into the air and was 2 meters away from him. His teammates question left his confused for a bit. 'Avoid what? What is he talking about?' he thought. His questions were answered as Kenzo released water birds from his mouth! They looked angry, they looked deadly, they... were extremely slow. "You're... kidding me..." he mumbled as he sweat dropped. They weren't even at half the boys speed! As the bird came close to him, one by one, he dodged all of their attacks. Kenzo must be underestimating his speed with this jutsu.

"Okay! Enough with this" he said out loud. Kojin quickly took out his one of his kunai and slashed at the birds that came his way. Soon enough, all of them were destroyed at the hands of his kunai. "Come one Kenzo! Give me something harder!" he exclaimed.

{WC: 261}

Kenzo launched the birds one by one seeing how Koijin destroyed them with only a kunai,well after all the birs were slow since they were moving with half of Kenzo's speed,so Kenzo expected that Koijin will desotry them easily after he used this technique.Some time after he heard Koijin he started laughing,shortly Kenzo tried to hit Koijin from the air while spinning himself in the air,in a circle,just like he was a tornado of legs."Well how about this?"He asked his teammate not knowing if he would land succesfuly any attack on him,since Koijin was so skilled with taijutsu,surely he would find something,a solution to defend against his attack which was almost like a tornado.
[TWC=125]

Kojin smiled as he saw Kenzo come straight at him, spinning himself like a top. "Yea that's more like it! But, uh, what if you hit the ground on your head?" he questioned. Before his opponent came too close to him, he had already jumped to the right. If his teammate were to keep going he would eventually hit the ground. And that was something that could end pretty badly. Of course, the boy wanted to see what Kenzo could do in this situation. He noticed his friend could have thought that out a bit better as well. Since he was faster than him, it was known that he would easily dodge the attack.

Kenzo would probably need to use a stronger attack for him to actually get hurt or be forced to use any ninjutsu. Still, he couldn't get cocky in this battle. His teammmate was a very good ninja and is skilled with using a katana and jutsu. Kojin had to be on his toes almost the entire time. However, it was a very exciting sparring session. The boy was very pumped and was ready to do whatever it takes to win! 'I wonder if Kenzo is going to get his earth element soon. This was the main reason we were even fighting' he thought. He hoped the fellow genin would get his new element very soon. Wasn't a Senju supposed to have earth and water for their clan's kekkei genkai?

If Kenzo didn't get earth then he wouldn't be able to obtain his wood element! Kojin wasn't going to let that happen anytime soon.  He was going to make sure that his friend would get the earth element. Even if it took all day long.

{WC: 291}

After the boy avoided his attack again Kenzo managed to stop himself and to land on the earth with his legs."Well i am fine now."He told to Komizu looking at the boy smiling,again his teammate proved to him that he was a true strategist like no one has even seen.But still this mistake helped Kenzo to make an idea about Koijin's speed a second knowing now that he couldn't land an attack only with taijutsu because of his speed and skills with taijutsu so Kenzo started thinking what he should do.They fough for so much time but still he didn't got his earth element,now it was the time to show Koijin what he can do,so the boy closed his eyes calming himself trying to think at a  situation.How he ended up in this situation,he could do something,he could use a jutsu but then Kenzo realized that the jutsu he wanted and was supposed to use was an earth jutsu so he opened his eyes doing 3 handsings after that waiting for something to happen.He was concentrating being sure that by now he could use this kind of jutsu,the boy holding his hands waiting for something to happen concentrating for some seconds telling himself that he couldn't fail not it wasn't the moment to fail,he had to show to Koijin what he could do so Kenzo opened his eyes looking at Koijin smiling after that he dissapeared hiding himself in the earth,this was just a D rank jutsu but it was a pretty good beginning for him.Kenzo was at a short distance of Koijin so while he was under earth he traveled toward Koijin also using the sensory ability to know where Koijin was,or else this technique would have been useless, then he dragged Koijin underground,ony his head remaining on the surface Koijin being now blocked.After Koijin was now blocked Kenzo came up from the ground telling him"Well friend i think i winned,and i also got the earth element.And don't you worry i will help you to get out."
[TWC=348]

Kojin smiled at Kenzo as he landed on the ground, evading hurting himself. His friend was getting very good at fighting with him. He bet that if their team has a training session, they would both wow their other teammate and sensei. He grinned at the silly thought. Of course he was positive they weren't going to be the only two that were going to surprise their leader. He was sure Leander was training as well, since he didn't knock down those trees. The boy assumed he was going to train and work on that after seeing the look on the other genin's face. He wondered if he could help Leander find stronger jutsu to use at the village library...

Coming to back to reality, Kojin saw Kenzo make 3 hand signs. He readied himself just in case something were to happen. The fellow genin seemed to be concentrating on something. Did he finally gain his earth element? It was possible that he got it while they were fighting. Kojin's eyes became wide after he saw Kenzo disappear into the ground. 'Now I'm positive that he got his element' he thought, 'Alright, I should have time to think at the distance he was standing from. He could be trying to do the same thing Yukio did on him. Alright, if that's going to happen I might as well confuse him'. He quickly performed a hand sign and a cloud of smoke appeared. as the smoke disappeared, a clone appeared right next to the boy.

"Better get going now!" he exclaimed. Kojin then jumped into the air hoping that he wasn't too late. He performed a back flip while he was still in mid air and landed on a near by rock. He crouched down while he was still on the rock, trying to get into a comfortable position. If thing's were to go as planned, Kenzo would have grabbed the clone instead. However, since it was only an illusion it disappeared the same way it came in. Kojin snickered as he saw was transpired. "Nice try Kenzo! If I didn't see you do that jutsu I would have been toast!" he shouted from his spot on the rock.

{WC: 370}

Kenzo tried to catch Koijin with this new earth technique but he failed.After all Koijin proved again that he was a strategist since Kenzo couldn't land a single hit on him using taijutsu and he could dodge ninjutsu with taijutsu and surely with his own lighting ninjutsu,so he was a little dissapointed because of this but he was happy since he got the earth element,that was his scope,to get the earth element by the end of this day,and he got it after a hard fight with Koijin,not by training  alone for hours,this was surely a good training method so he would train like this again,with someone.After that the boy started looking after Koijin seeing him on a rock at some distance from him hearing Koijin he replied  back"Yes,you are right."If Koijin wouldn't saw that jutsu then that would have been the end of the match for Koijin and a victory for Kenzo but that didn't happened."Thanks.I will becomone of the greatest shinobi of this world,and when i will have that kind of power and status i will be able to protect my village and my clan.And see you later Koijin."The exppresion on Kenzo's face and smile after speaking would make anyone realize that Kenzo wasn't joking  ,Kenzo now had another idea in his mind the Uciha should becom the allies of Senju,so those  two clans united could surely protect the village.After that Kenzo started walking leaving the training grounds going to his home,finaly he had the earth element now he had to get only the wood element of the Senju and then he would becom powerful.

Kojin smiled at his opponent as he heard his reply. Even he knew he would have been done for. That just meant he had to be more aware of his surroundings when he fights. He was happy he decided to fight with Kenzo today, it made him notice how much he needed to improve. He couldn't just rely on speed all the time, and he had to think of better attacks. The boy had mostly let his teammate try and get him with taijutsu and ninjutsu. It was probably because he was more of a counterattack person in battle. Since the battle seemed to be over, the genin jumped off the rock he was on.

Once he landed on the ground and grinned while nodding his head at Kenzo. "No problem! If you need any training like this again just call me" he pointed his thumb at himself as he said this. After he saw Kenzo left Kojin wondered if he should stay and continue training. He could just train a bit since he still had some stamina left. 'Yea I'll train' he thought as he started to stretch his legs, arms, and back. Once he was finished, he cracked his knuckled and walked up to a training post. The boy then settled into an offensive fighting stance. He really didn't use the training post much, but he was going to  start now.

Kojin would use his full speed and charge at the post. He aimed a kick towards the side and then flipped in the air to land behind it. He then sent an elbow that went straight to the middle of the post. The genin was trying to treat this like a real person so that he could train better. He noticed he was very weak as well, durable but very weak. It was surprising that his hits did any damage at all. At the moment, Kojin was going to fix this problem. He proceeded to make continues punches at the post. He switched to swiftly kicking the post various time in the middle. 'I really need to do this more often' he thought.

After a few minutes of repeating these actions, Kojin stopped to take a small breather. He would need to work on this another time. Right now he was still a little worn out from the spar. It was getting a bit dark as well. The boy sighed and put his hands in his pockets. The genin turned the other way and started to walk in the direction his apartment was located in.
