Element Training.. to the max! [P, NK]

Kojin saw how his opponent had ducked under his punch. Still, he didn't do attacks like that often so it was a very good try to him. He almost panicked once he saw Leander aim punches for his leg. He was forced to pull it back to avoid the attack, releasing his hold on the Kaguya. When Leander had jumped back, the boy was already planning his next move. After a few moments of thinking, he nodded to himself and charged at Leander. When he was a foot in front of the other genin, it looked like he was going to aim another punch at him. Before he got close enough, Kojin performed his Lightning Vanishing jutsu and was in the air behind Leander. While he was in the air, he aimed a kick for the back of his teammate's head.

He couldn't use that jutsu much anymore though. It would run out his chakra early in the battle, and that wouldn't be a good thing. He wondered how Leander was going to dodge this attack. Kojin could think of ways his opponent could counter attack, but it wasn't like he didn't know how to evade them. He started to think about the position he put himself in. 'Maybe he won't notice' he thought.

Lea took up a defensive position as his opponent started to charge at him. 'What is he thinking?' Lea wondered as is seemed like Kojin was just going to punch him. Lea was on alert though, he had used a similar tactic when fighting Raijin and Anko before, running at the opponent then dropping to his knees and sliding to get behind them. 'Is he really charging or if he trying to get behind me?' All this thought only took a few seconds. Before he could decide what to do Kojin seemed to vanish from sight. 'Behind!' Lea realized and tried to turn to face his opponent. The kick hit him on the shoulder as he was turning and knocked him down and forward a little but didn't do as much damage as it would have if it had struck his head. Lea quickly sprung back to his feet. His shoulder throbbed with pain. Still though, he readied himself for Kojin's next attack, being more aware of Kojin's disappearing technique even though Lea didn't quiet know what it was.

Kojin smiled as his attack hit. Most of the time people dodged his attempts. Of course, there was his battle with Blaze where he was completely dominant, but that was only a one time thing. He landed on the spot where Leander previously was and went back 1 foot. He had a way to confused Leander and get a hit in, but he didn't want to waste to much chakra. Still, it wasn't like he didn't have plenty to spare! The boy just wanted to save it for his wind training exercise later on after the spar. He guessed his kick must have been hard since it sent his opponent back. That means the side he hit must be at least a bit vulnerable to attack. Since it hit Leander's left side, that was where he was what he was going to go for.

Kojin decided to use the jutsu, despite it taking a bit of chakra away from him. He recovers quickly anyway. Using his full speed, he began to run in a circle around Leander. Soon enough, the genin was leaving behind images from himself. ' The Afterimage Technique sure is useful' he thought. He wasn't going to attack yet however, this was only to confuse his opponent, making him open for an attack.

{WC: 217}

Lea watched as Kojin started running circles around him. Lea wasn't fast enough to stop him before he started to see several Kojin running around him. 'What now?' Lea wondered. He had never seen the after image technique before. Lea didn't know what to do, he was surrounded by the after image and couldn't see a way out. Coming up with a plan Lea decided to use this moment to gather his chakra together for his next move. He would wait until Kojin struck again. He did keep up the appearance of a stunned opponent tho, to try and fool Kojin into a hasty attack.

Kojin had a light smirk on his face when he saw Leander seemingly shocked from his jutsu. He had almost forgotten that he only showed his team his electric beam. That was a very weak jutsu that he found no use for any longer. This one however, was just meant to trick the opponent. He learned it after using the original afterimage. The boy put his attention back on Leander. He waited until he was in a good spot to attack. He appeared directly in front of Lea, sticking his tongue out at him with his hand beside his head. Kojin then settled into an offensive position and aimed 3 punches at Leander's chest, only trying to push him back onto the ground. He never tried to do something like this before, but wasn't an amateur with the tactic. It might even work since his punches would come out as blurs to his teammate. That's why his speed came in handy.

Still, Kojin was prepared if Leander tried to do anything like a jutsu. He predicted it would either be a wind or taijutsu technique since he known him for those two things. For all the genin knew, Lea might be able to use both! He was positive that would be something interesting to see. For now, he waited for his opponent's reaction.

{WC: 224}

Lea had been hardening his bones, increasing their density bracing himself for the moment when Kojin would strike. Lea was a little surprised Kojin went with a head on attack to the chest but was prepared. When Kojin punched Lea, Lea's sternum and ribs were already hard as rock. Lea hardly felt the three punches. He responded by quickly jabbing an undercut at Kojin's stomach to be followed by a sweeping kick to his legs. He wanted to try and trip Kojin. 'He is to fast' Lea thought. He hoped that his tactic would take Kojin by surprise, knowing he hadn't shown his abilities with bone manipulation during their team meeting.

Kojin winced once his punches had hit Leander. Just how did he do that? When he kicked the other genin, it didn't hurt him at all. He didn't have time to react to the attack coming his way and gained a firm punch in his stomach. He grit his teeth after it hit, it didn't damage him that much but it was still a bit painful. He barely saw the kick coming at his legs until it came close enough. Thinking quickly, he moved back a bit and jumped above it. Once he landed onto the ground, he immediately grabbed a hold of Leander's arm with his left hand. The boy was positive his opponent wouldn't be able to get out of his hand's firm grip. Kojin then aimed a punch at Leander's face with his right fist. He was going to go at full strength during this battle! He wasn't going to get his wind element if he didn't.

The genin wasn't sure if Leander was going to be able to dodge this attack, or somehow make himself like stone again. If the punch hit Lea, Kojin would release his hold and leap back two feet. Next, he would jump in the air and perform a back flip, proceeding to land on the ground behind Leander. Finally, the boy would aim an elbow at his opponent's back. However, this would only happen if the punch he aimed had landed.

{WC: 240}

When Kojin grabbed Lea's arm, Lea tried to pull his arm free but Kojin had a strong grip. So Lea made the bones in his arm protrude out like arm spikes, however he did not make them have a point, merely a nob that struck Kojins hands and if nothing else pried his hand off Lea's arm. He would then perform a cross chop at Kojin's mid section with his arm, the bones sinking back under the skin. He increased the hardness of his arm to try and do a little more damage. He hoped all of this would interrupt Kojin's punch to his face and whatever was to follow but if somehow Kojin followed through with his punch then Lea would take the hit, not attempting to dodge at all, focusing on his chop.

Kojin released his hold on Leander's arm after he felt bones come out of them. To say the least, he panicked and drew  both of his hands back to himself. He noticed the chop coming towards his side and leaped three feet away to dodge the attack. 'That was a close one!' he thought while staring at Leander's arm. "Uuh, hey Leander? How exactly did you... you know, make bones come out of your arm?" he sweat dropped as he asked this. The boy had never seen anything like that happen before, so it was intriguing to him. He stood up straight and rubbed the back of his head with his right hand. "I don't really think this spar is working.. maybe we can do something else. I even have a wind exercise that might work" he suggested. The sparring gave him a good warm up, but it wasn't really doing anything other than that.

Kojin hastily performed three hand signs and a small cloud of smoke appeared around him. Next to the genin, was a solid clone of himself. The original looked around the area for a minute and noticed a small bush by the waterfall. "Go get three leaves from there" he ordered, pointing to the bush. The shadow clone saluted and walked over to the plant, going to fulfill what his boss ordered.

{WC: 228}

'Maybe I went to far..' Lea thought to himself as he relaxed, listening to Kojin. 
"It is my ability." Lea said trying to sound humble about it. "I'm a Kaguya, I can harden my bones, even take them all the way out of my body if i want." Lea explained as the clone walked over to grab three leaves.
"So, what is this your doing?" Lea asked, never really having trained his wind element.
