Trying again (P, NK)

By this time, Corvin had Anima floating roughly 20 meters above the ground and 10 feet in front of Xuro (just over 22 meters away from Xuro in a straight line). Connecting chakra threads to the three seals at his waist, Corvin flung them into the air releasing the three puppets within. Connecting his chakra threads to each one, Corvin says, "Actually, I like showing off up here. You can play with my friends instead!" With that Corvin sends the Doctor in a beeline toward Xuro while extending his combat arms at him. If he does not dodge, the Doctor will grab his arms and legs each with an individual combat arm. Grey, flying about 2 meters to the left of the Doctor, flies directly to the ground and moves around to attempt flanking Xuro from the left stopping at a point roughly 3 meters to Xuro's left. The Knight remains at a point directly between Anima and Xuro prepared to counter any attack in their direction.

Xuro had completed piling up the two heaps of clay which then took form and shape instantly into two clay clones identical to that of Xuro. It was his clone of wood, Mokuzai and his new earth clone Iwa V2. The first original Iwa was really strong and had been a major help to Xuro. Iwa used its colossal Earth jutsu to defeat the six tails bijuu that is now sealed within Xuro. Iwa unfortunately wasn't fast enough to escape the beast's final attack and was caught in the explosion removed utterly from existence. Xuro let the memory of his Heroic clone live on and made another clone naming it Iwa V2.

Now Xuro had both clones summoned out just as Convin too, brought out his own friends, his other puppets which Xuro was also very impressed with. Just as they did that, Xuro knew it was time to get serious. The odd weren't that even but it would do fair since Xuro didn't have to physically control his clones and they were very real even though they were 3 in total. While Convin on the other hand, had a whole squad of puppets but them being just pieces of metal and plastic controlled by a puppeteer, Xuro thought it as an even battlefield. He lifted up his head band revealing his left sharingan eye fully active in its 3 tomoe state. He had a special type of a contact attached to it so it reduced any strain Xuro would receive when using his eye.

Just as the puppets launched their attack on Xuro, iwa would perform some hand seals and summon up a gigantic earth wall between Xuro and Convin's puppets. The wall had risen with the utmost speed boosted by Iwa's enormous chakra. It stood 30 meters tall, 20 meters wide and being 5 meters thick. The wall was summoned 1 meter in front of Xuro, who would then proceed with a leap backwards for defensive purposes. He jumped 5 meters back leaving his Iwa in front of the wall.

His other clone, Mokuzai, would prepare a new jutsu of his own. Something truly awesome. He had to get some more practise with it and would really enjoy changing the whole structure of the battlefield. He jumped 5 meters back and stood just behind Xuro for protection. Mokuzai performed the snake hand seal and activated the jutsu as he calmly spoke, "Mokuton: Nativity of a World of Trees!"

The whole area all around 65 meters of Mokuzai would start to change. The ground made way as roots shot out everywhere (making sure not to hit Xuro nor his clones). Trees began raising up in the air 55 meters high. The trees shot up with utmost force definitely blocking out Convin's vision of the ground below and also if he never watch out, trees would be growing right up into him. Everywhere, trees sprouted out while roots as well shot out making their way for Convin's puppets....
Mokuzai, being sure to keep his hand seal active all the time...

Xuro would be on his guard to protect Mokuzai if any attacker would make a move. Otherwise Iwa would be standing close to the wall ready to attack the puppets should they have broke past or went over his wall.

He could have crushed Convin and all of his puppets instantly with ease but Xuro was sure to keep his aggressive clone on a leash since this was just a spar and Convin was a friend. They weren't fighting any beast this time....

Corvin, seeing Xuro's counter, had to act quickly. Anima and the Knight were simply able to rise up beyond the reach of the roots as they came from the ground. Grey was forced from its flanking position into a straight up climb as fast as it could go narrowly dodging the larger roots and brushing up against branches here and there where Corvin loses complete site of it. The Doctor on the other hand makes it over the earthen wall before it is able to come up high enough. Grabbing hold of all four of Xuro's limbs with its combat arms, Corvin has it too skyrocket into the air to avoid the upcoming roots. All of the puppets stop at a point 20 meters above the top of the newly formed treeline. The Doctor holds Xuro out in front of him with his arms and legs outstretched making him look like a giant X facing Anima. "Well...That's impressive," Corvin says to Xuro as he looks down at the complete change in scenery. "What on earth did you make those clones out of? Wood?"

Xuro would watch how everything was changed due to the sudden sprouting of an entire forest. Convin and his other two puppets would go up in the air higher than the canopy of Mokuzai's forest.

The one puppet made it over the wall and still launched his attack on Xuro. Xuro, however predicted this through his sharingan. He instantly would perform the body flicker technique to evade the puppet's attack. He flickered away to a tree 10 meters behind him. The enormous speed boost Xuro received from the flicker would be enough to dodge the puppet's attack. He stood on a thick branch about 10 meters high. He then activated his version 1 bijuu cloak in its full 6 tails form. Red chakra bubbles surrounded Xuro and formed 6 tails behind him.

Xuro atop the tree would summon out another clone: Kitai. The clay formed exceptionally fast and quickly took shape into another clone of Xuro. While Mokuzai would summon roots from below the puppet trying to hit him with all the thick trunk-like roots and trying to narrow his movements. The roots, creating kind of a cage around the puppet, while Iwa would summon forth an Earth Dragon from right below him and sent it heading the puppet's way. Mokuzai would create an opening on one side of the root-cage just as Iwa's Earth Dragon entered it with the intention of sending the dragon right into the puppet.

Kitai on the other hand would, immediately after being summoned, grow majestic wings on his back made from pure wind. This granted him flight and exceptionally major speed. He shot out into the Sky. Once he was above all the trees, he would locate Convin and use his tremendous speed to fly right into Convin with his legs out in front of him trying the hit the puppet (which Convin was in) right in the chest.


[Xuro's Stat increases due to V1 cloak: Health: 153 Chakra: 212 Stamina: 33 Speed: 168 Strength: 35
Kitai's speed stat: 167]

Seeing Xuro flicker away, Corvin knew some sort of counter attack was coming and pulled the Doctor up at top speed having it long gone before the cage or the dragon appears while Xuro was busy activating his cloak. 

Watching another clone, this one with wings, come out from the jungle, Corvin manipulates the Knight between he and the flying clone with the Knight holding its shield up to block the oncoming kick. As this happens, Anima's tail extends out and around the Knight in an attempt to slice the clone in half at the waist.

Just as Kitai was about to Fly into Convin with a kick, he saw another puppet pop out of nowhere with a big shield. Kitai had a feeling the shield was strong enough for his attack and he didn't want to be head on with all the puppets.

Kitai immediately performed the body flicker technique just as he was about 3 meters away from hitting into the puppet's shield. He would body flicker about 7 meters behind Convin. He would then quickly raise up his right palm and gather wind blades around his hand rotating it form a huge wind disk. The disk being 5 meters horizontally wide, 2 meters long and 1 meter vertically thick. He then flung it diagonally towards Convin. The huge disk got even more huge as once it passed 5 meters, it grew into its fully size being horizontal width of 20 meters and a maximum length of 5 meters while being 2 meters vertically thick. The extremely shape Disk heading diagonally towards the back of Convin which could possible slice him in two. Kitai would then dash 10 meters back to stay away from the puppets and concentrate on controlling his wind blade fighting from a safe distance rather...

Unable to see the disk coming, and being unable to dodge it even if he did, Anima took the full brunt of the disk thrown at him. Fortunately for Corvin hiding inside, Anima was still coated with the armor the Kage had given him before the last exam round. The disk was thus unable to so much as scratch the puppet. Seeing that the disk came from behind him, Corvin whipped Anima around and lashed out at the clone with its tail blade. If unable to dodge, the clone will be rendered in halves at the waist.

In the meantime on the ground, Xuro would summon out another of his clones. The clay rapidly formed and took shape quickly forming Xuro's lightning clone: Arashi.

Back in the sky, Kitai would watch his blade head towards Convin. Much to his shock the Blade hit Convin but dissipated away and never do much damage to the seemingly rock solid puppet in which Convin hid. Suddenly Kitai would see Convin whip out a tail from the puppet heading straight for him. Kitai's natural instinct caused him to be taken aback by the tail and leap backwards. Luckily the tail had already lacked enough length in the first place to reach Kitai. The clone of wind sighed a sigh of relief and decided its not safe to play around with the puppets all by himself. Kitai would immediately drop down right back into the forest and flew straight down to the ground landing softly upon the roots of Mokuzai which still remained active.

He kept his wings active while he, Xuro, Mokuzai, Iwa and Arashi would remain ready for Convin.

"So then Çonvin... To scared to come fight down below on the ground??" Xuro sarcastically commented with a grin on his face.

Corvin, upset that he had misjudged the distance on his tail and missed the chance to take out one of these clones, decided to not let this one get away so easily. Taking the Doctor, he activated the chakra blades on the ends of its combat arms and pursued the clone down toward the jungle, gaining ground at every moment. Grey followed roughly 2 meters behind the Doctor. Upon reaching the jungle itself, the Doctor began swiping the combat arms around cutting out huge swaths of the jungle as he followed the clone down. If the clone fails to do anything, the Doctor will catch up before the clone reaches the ground and will be ravaged by the blades as easily as the jungle around him. 

Anima and the Knight remained in the air side by side. Corvin is able to see everything clearly through the cut out chunks of jungle. He took a sad sort of amusement watching the jungle get torn to pieces as easily as paper.

As Kitai was heading back into the forest, two of Corvin's puppets followed him into the forest while slicing the all the trees down by the use of some sharp blades. Mokuzai quickly summoned forth more trees but this time around Kitai and the puppet and made raise to the top meeting together in the center forming a dorm of trees around the puppets and Kitai in order to block Corvin from seeing into the forest. The trees that were risen were in fact 10 meters away from the puppets to prevent the trees from being close to the puppets which could destroy them.

Just as Kitai would see the puppet with the powerful blades coming close to him, he quickly thought of a solution to help get out of this mess. There were some cut roots lying on the ground near him and just as the blades would suppose to have penetrated Kitai, he performed the substitution technique and replaced himself with the root lying near by.

Kitai then reappeared on the outer part of the dorm of trees. He was 30 meters away from the dome, to the right of the puppets just 10 meters in front of Xuro and the rest of the clones. They then awaited what would the puppets do next...
