Trying again (P, NK)

Seeing the trees again move in an attempt to close in on his puppets and block his field of view, Corvin is forced to retreat his puppets. He could not help but be relieved that his puppets were so much faster than these trees, but knew that this type of technique must take an enormous amount of chakra. Corvin hoped that this man's clones followed the same rule as other clones he had seen and would soon run out of chakra after forming an entire forest. Until then, he would simply have to stay out of range and attempt to bring his opponent to him. Raising his puppets all the way back to where Anima and the Knight were floating, Corvin had Grey and the Doctor flank the Knight on either side and face the trees down below while Anima floated above and behind them to protect from any attack coming from the trees. Short of anything else, he would be forced to cut the entire forest down, something he did not envy doing. "I may not be able to find you in your thicket my friend, but that does not mean I must play in it!" Corvin shouted down to the forest hoping Xuro would hear it.

Xuro watched how Corvin remained
with his puppets above the forest not
daring to enter it.
"Hm... Very well then..." Xuro would speak back to Corvin and Instantly mokuzai would create a huge opening in the forest, right above them. All the trees would open out in a circular pattern all around Xuro and this clones. This creates open space for Corvin & Xuro to continue their spar. Mokuzai would then release his hand seal deactivating his jutsu and would enter a cool down period. Xuro was in the center of the open area with mokuzai behind him 5 meters, Arashi 5 meters to his right, Iwa 5 meters to his left & Kitai was 15 meters to his right.
"now then, let's continue!"
Xuro would then await for Corvin and his puppets to make an attack in the mean time he would prepare to activate his version 2 bijuu cloak as soon as Corvin's puppets would make move depending on what they did.

Looking down on the forest, Corvin watches as a huge swath is opened up revealing his opponent and several clones. He was impressed with Xuro's ability to not only effect such a huge area, but also continue to manipulate it afterward. It made him somewhat envious, but at the same time he had seen how the ability was mostly ineffectual against an opponent like himself. He was considering what his opponent would do next, but he just seemed to be waiting for Corvin to take the initiative again. "Oh no my friend, I think the ball will remain firmly in your court for the moment!" Corvin knew that to beat this guy, he would likely have to take them on one at a time. It was his hope that staying up in the air would force the flying clone to engage while the rest would be forced to sit and watch. Xuro was obviously very skilled and to win Corvin would have to take every advantage he could get, and for the moment his biggest advantage was his ability to stay off the ground.

Xuro watched as Corvin remained up in the air and didn't come down to attack. He was instead waiting for an attack from Xuro. Xuro could really fly unless he made his dragon or birds. But that would still put him in a disadvantage due to Corvin having control of the sky with his extremely fast puppets. And Kitai, well that clone had its wings deactivated due to him using it to its max period. The clone now couldn't use his wings for a while now. His other clones had no other way of flying...

"Hmm... Very smart you are But if you want me to start things off very well I shall.. Only thing is that you must come down here to the ground... Don't hide in the sky haha. Come down and I'll start..." Xuro would grin as he awaited a reply from the puppet Master...

"Let's analyse the situation. I am up against an opponent that vastly outpowers me. I have two major advantages over this person, speed and the ability to stay off of the ground. You are now asking me to give up one of those advantages and come to you where more of your abilities will be effective and I run the risk of the forest trying to eat my puppet again. I'm sorry my friend, but I must take every edge I can get. To the skies you come or we have reached a stalemate." Corvin looked down at the man and his clones. He knew his opponent was likely biding time to regain the strength to use some abilities he had used already. However, even knowing that Corvin was unwilling to give up the few advantages he had. Despite Xuro's taunting, Corvin knew he had to keep his cool and set the stage of the battle as best he could. Once again, he watched his opponent for signs of movement and prepared to counter any attack he saw coming.

Xuro knew Corvin was very clever. He didn’t want to lose his advantage of being capable of flight. Xuro couldn’t fly and Kitai was unable to use his jutsu for a while now so Xuro had to call it a draw. Plus it was getting late anyway, he felt he had enough now. It was a good spar but he also had things to attend to.
”well then sorry man. Guess we gonna have to call this one a draw. I must going now. I hope we can settle this another time no doubt. You are an excellent ninja. I hope you see success and win that Chuunin exams! It was awesome to spar with you. First time a genin actually gave me a challenge. See ya!”
Xuro then quickly de-summoned all his clones and then exited the training grounds.
