Party Time!!!!

As commanded, the metal Osmium pellets follow the first three sun flies, their number divided equally to follow each sun fly. Aware of his own distance of control, if by some chance the sun flies move too far, breaching his distance of control, he will pull them back naturally. In a manner that is obvious in retreat, but not directly alarming. This is to prevent his opponent/ally from knowing the exact distance of his control.

After this is done, and precaution already set, he notices the man aim five more flies for him, three which are ground level, and two more approaching him from his left and right side. Taking little time to wait for the impending 'doom' which is currently approaching him, so he decides to attack as-well. Raising dust from the ground, near his left, and right sides. This dust is instantly molded into a mini double headed spear. Both mini-spears are a single meter long, and three centimeters wide. The spears shoot forth with vigor, each aiming to pierce the flies that were currently targeting his flank. Concerning the three flies which are ground level, Saiga decides to attempt to amuse Naoki. He does this by channeling his chakra into the ground, rising three ground level 'flies' of his own. Each the appearance copying of Naoki's. The flies home in on Naoki's flies. Though once within striking distance of Naoki's flies, Saiga's dust flies change into sharpened needles, and attempt to pierce the flies of Naoki. If this does not happen, the needles will still follow them anyway.

As for the shield above him, Saiga is not one hundred percent sure with how the current situation is evolving. His chakra sensing abilities had let him know immediately, that the man's flies were currently clinging to the shield. 'Maybe it's current appearance is not threatening enough?' This is what Saiga asks himself mentally, before deciding to attack. Lifting the shield, which now carries the sun flies, ten more meters into the air. After this is done, Saiga almost instantly enhances the effectiveness of his 'shield'. Creating small spikes 5 cm long, under the flies, piercing the area exposed, if they had not yet moved.

Then comes the assumed final attack. Five flies hovering above the ground in a perfect line, all headed towards him. Growing more and more excited as the spar continues, Saiga decides to handle the situation in a seemingly simple way. Shooting forth a spike created from the hovering dust in front of him. This spike is surprisingly thick compared to the others, three meters, and long, 2 meters. The spike itself hovers above the ground, while moving towards the flies, aiming to eliminate them all, in a single attack.

As the following events were unfolding in front of Saiga, he found himself to have a wide grin on his face. His blood colored eyes, seemingly gleamed with joy at the site of both of their creations battling. As before him there was an even more beautiful scenery. It is that of mostly tiny lights 'dancing' together in the darkness of the night.

[+5 gallons of Osmium dust]

This was a fine fight, his opponent did not lack mental fortitude and superb concentration required for this many and colorful responses. Raising the glass to take a sip once more, Naoki would step a couple meters forward. The reason being that it was easier to control his orbs directly also, he did not want to pull any of them out early as he did not know how long this might last. His orbs had their instructions of avoiding any undesired collision, how to approach and what to do on success or failure, so it did not actually require any willful direction from him at this point. Basically he could just sit back and watch if the man would be able to defend himself. But he promised a show and it could still get even more impressive with not that much additional effort.

The three seals trying to drive the sand pellets out of the fight would sense the decline of their pursuers and as instructed rotate back, although instead of following the sand, they would approach the Uchiha, returning into range and communicating the distance they had traveled. Naoki had to compliment the way Saiga chose to do it, as it prevented him from knowing the exacts but he could still draw a conclusion that the man felt safe with taking the pellets up to 30 meters away from himself. That made it clear that he could control his sand at much greater distance than the Uchiha. Giving new orders to the three orbs, Naoki would continue to watch the fight happening in front of him as they would shoot words, one above the fight, towards the shield of sand, and two from the sides. Staying out of the fight for a bit. So far the whole fight was completely symmetric, mostly for the sake of simplicity of keeping the orbs in check, but now Naoki felt like bringing some chaos into this was in order. With that thought the five orbs that spiraled around him would break out of their circle and one after another like a glowing arrow shoot towards the man in an arc, coming from Saiga's left.

Admiring the taste of his drink Naoki would take the glass away once more, while observing as the two flies sent to flank his opponent were nearly caught and maybe destroyed. What appeared to save them was that Saiga made his response in a static shape of two spears of some kind, protruding from the ground in order to strike the orbs. Detecting the high concentration of chakra underneath them, the orbs would do an evasion, skipping the point end barely. Manipulated further that sand might have caught them, but if Naoki noticed it, so could the guest. Reaching out to the seals with his mind Naoki would tell them to go slightly higher, making them move away from Saiga and join up with the two orbs that had just reported to Naoki, then all four continue the flank and meet up two meters behind Saiga, a couple meters above the ground. To keep them in range, the Uchiha would make another couple steps forward, the distance between him and Saiga now reduced to seven meters. As this was happening, the three vanguard orbs would break off their approach in order to evade what appeared to be sand orbs of exact same size, although in a moment the impostors became needles. If followed the orbs would lead them towards the shield above Saiga's head, where two more sunflies were in danger as the shield suddenly started to rise. Well, you can imagine the surprise when your ride randomly starts rising into the air. Anyway, with the fact that shield was not immediately used for something else, Naoki now knew then Saiga could sense his seals, even if he could not see them. That also explained how he could attempt to simultaneously stab the flanking ones and keep watch on the ones at range. Nevertheless, the Uchiha did not feel it being time to show the real nature of his seals just yet, so he would pull the two away from the shield before the spikes even appeared. Joining up with the one from before and the three from below, the group of seals would now dive for the gap between Saiga and the shield.

And finally the most spectacular of the moments of this fight yet, Saiga would do something unexpected, summoning a big mass of sand in order to block the approach of the five seals Naoki sent by the ground. Maybe he overdid it. The first detecting the huge obstacle, the whole group would immediately turn left, also leaving the ground. It was fairly clear by now that Saiga was most powerful by the ground, as that was where his element came from. Flying around the big structure, the five would do a similar approach to the other five that Naoki just launched, only coming from the other side of Saiga's. The spike once failed to stop the group would crash, crumble and fade away back into the ground. Seeing the end of that attack, Naoki would take the drink into his left hand and raise his right, the palm pointed towards Saiga. Maybe it was time for some bigger move on his part as well.

[+4 Sunflies]

And it began. A series of mini battles occurring around Saiga, and Naoki. Prompting those on the platform to stop dancing, and stare in awe at the events progressing before them. Saiga himself finishes his martini in a single swig, his face flushing red immediately after. Watching carefully as Naoki steps forward, he decides to remain still in response to this, as he does not expect the man to attack him personally, separate from his sunflies.

Once seeing the Sun flies retract back towards Naoki, Saiga decides to bring his pellets back as-well, drawing them towards himself with only a thought of doing so. The three pellets position them self as so: one towards his left flank, another his right flank, and the last one hovers three meters in front of Saiga, 2 meters above the ground. When a sun fly rushes forward attempting to join the ones near his shield, the pellet in front of him shoots towards it, in an attempt to deviate the fly from its intended path. Though he also notices two more flies approaching him, he commands the two pellets at his flanks to attack the flies coming at his sides, with the intent to collide with them, if all fails, the pellets would follow them wholeheartedly. Even with this, it seemed the talented Naoki still had more up his sleeve. This is seen by the spiral breaking away from Naoki, and towards Saiga's left. Waiting little time, Saiga summons forth a gallons worth of dust from the ground, near his left. The dust begins to slowly divide, and transform, into a group of eight pellets. Each pellet being a single centimeter in diameter. Saiga was forced to make the pellets slightly smaller then before, due to making them being made out of only a single gallon of dust. He could have easily created the pellets from the dust that hovered in front of him, but he decided against it, because he intended to use that as a last resort. Five of the newly created pellets, shoot forth towards the sun flies, parallel to the approaching arc. Whereas the other three, stayed behind, just in case the flies somehow managed to get pass the pellets. 

The cloud of dust that had been place in front of Saiga since the beginning of the spar had grown slightly larger. In the beginning when the dust was composed of only three gallons worth of sand. Though now, it appeared to have accumulated six more gallons in the short time since the spar had begun. This was of course due to Saiga gathering his dust at a much faster rate, with his mastered control over the osmium.

After the pellets were launched, Saiga focused towards the prior attack against his flank. The thin spears having missed their target. Even with his back turned, he could notice with his inept ability to sense chakra, that Naoki had recalled his orbs towards the other two that were attempting to attack his flank. Unfortunately, those earlier recalled orbs would already be engaged with Saiga's pellets. Still, if the orbs would attempt to attack his back, Saiga would shoot forth both of his needles, aiming them to pierce through the orbs, that were attempting to attack him from behind. When this is done, Saiga notices the man slowly approaching, decreasing the distance between them to seven meters. He did not know exactly why he was doing this, but Saiga could not complain, since the man was doing him a favor by staying within his range.

The mock orbs, which have now turned into needles, continue to follow the orbs along their perspective path, which just do happened to be above Saiga's head, this the man could see with his own eyes. With a unneeded wave of his right hand, four gallons worth of the dust within the cloud breaks off, and reaches his head before the orbs themselves do so. This cloud simply hovers along the path of Saiga's head, not taking any particular shape. As Saiga was sure that Naoki would recall his orbs, seeing as if they continued to reach for his head, they would be destroyed with haste. The cloud of dust would break apart, and harden into twenty-five needles, each one centimeter long and a single millimeter wide. They would shoot forth, and attempt to pierce the approaching orbs. This will only happen if, Naoki insists on aiming his orbs above Saiga's head.

The last area of battle, had perhaps been thwarted before it began. As Saiga noticed his intended spike, was 'incomplete' to say the least. As it lacked the proper amount of dust required to complete it's creation. With the spike, returning to dust, and collapsing back within the ground, it was now useless at this particular time. Since, the targeted orbs now targeted his right side, in the same fashion that the orbs targeted his left. Growing low on dust, Saiga would normally erect needled osmium from the ground to intercept the path of the orbs, but this could not be done, as Naoki had already noticed that Saiga is at his strongest near the ground. Unable to do this, Saiga was forced to reach into the already elevated cloud of dust in front of him removing a half a gallons worth to create four pellets, with the same build of the others (1 cm in diameter). This combined with the other one already set at guard in front of him made five. The five pellets would shoot towards their perspective orbs as they attempted to attack him. While this happened, the cloud in front of Saiga now consisting of only three gallons worth would fall to the ground in front of him, moving under Saiga's feet. While under his feet, the dust of course allocates more of itself.

[+9 gallons Osmium dust]

More and more the Uchiha was starting to grasp how Saiga's ability worked. Obviously it helps having a sharingan and seeing the chakra flow from one mass of dust to another before they start moving. If he was right, then while probably more powerful in a direct clash, the ability lacked a certain property, which Naoki would use to win this little fight. Probably not yet realizing how close he has come to his limits, in response to Naoki's latest attacks, Saiga created a lot of different pellets and even needles to strike his orbs. The seals were previously instructed to avoid colliding with any of the sand and as each of them had a separate detection field, they would most likely be successful in doing so. But the man was not going to allow them to be locked in groups of dogfights, which would probably happen if he did not direct and control the whole of them. If he was right, then, unlike Naoki himself, Saiga had to maintain a degree of concentration for every single needle and pellet he was using, which is probably why he started with grander shapes. So, what would happen if Naoki forced him to concentrate even more...

The Jounin would himself for a brief moment of gathering before a mental burst of new commands for the seals. Most of it was the same for all - each seal instructed to continue evading the sand if possible, but detonate on 5 centimeter proximity with the dust - basically on collision. Two seals, the ones leading the groups of five coming at Saiga's sides, would be instructed to detonate with a blast that would cause a flash enough to blind for a moment if looked directly at, but now cause enough damage to affect the nearby orbs. The remaining seals in the groups would scatter, each adopting an individual trajectory. At the same time, all the seals would bounce away from their approach at Saiga, as if the explosions caused a shockwave that made the orbs move away from Saiga for a moment. The motion would create an illusion of actual fireflies, a whole mass, as if it was alive. The swarm would then start moving again, this time circling Saiga. The swarm would be quite chaotic, each seal having an individual path, that did not remain constant but kept changing. They would not go below one meter over the ground and not rise above three meters, while also keeping two meter radius from Saiga. Should the sand be used to attack it, the swarm would move away, only to retake the position again, once the threat is not longer there, just like an actual swarm. Every few moments, one or two seals would break off and shoot straight for Saiga. If they were met with a concrete block of their path, they would bounce off their trajectory and return to the swirling mass, if not they would fly by Saiga and rejoin their brothers.

Maybe that would have been enough for now, but Naoki had already raise his hand. From it shot what first seemed like pure light, a moment later splitting into a circle of ten sunflies headed for the leader of Takigakure. The group would circle inward and if it were to reach the ring surrounding Saiga, together with the rest it would immediately approach him from all sides, attempting to land.

There it was, the event that would finally catapult this spar into it's climax. This event created by the flies towards Saiga's left and right exploding. Causing a smile to stretch out across the face of Saiga, one of pleasure. He'd be lying if he were to say that he saw such a thing coming, in fact he had thought the flies to be harmless to a degree, but with this he was proved incorrect, a first for the young leader of Takigakure. Though slightly afraid of the unknown powers of the flies, Saiga still found himself entranced by their appearance.

Immediately after the explosion, Saiga recalls his dust. All pellets, and other constructs returning towards him, to hover around the man. The now thick cloud of dust hovering around Saiga, would without a doubt make it difficult for the man to see him naturally. Though of course he was an Uchiha bearing the sharingan, so Saiga doubted this would have any serious effect. Luckily, he had already taken a precaution, just in case something of this nature happened. The dust at his feet suddenly hardening into a square shaped platform, five feet long/wide, and six centimeters thick. This platform remains for the most part underneath the sand, and out of plain view of Naoki, having already passed under the radar of Naoki, there lay no fear in Saiga of his 'plan' being discovered at this point in time.

Though now a larger obstacle lies in the path of Saiga, this being the flies. Moving along a seemingly random rhythm, and periodically attempting to attack Saiga. The Leader is left with only one countermeasure, due to his inability to properly track he sunflies individually, creating shields. Four shields are created out of the dust surrounding Saiga. Each shield is a meter long/wide, and two centimeters thick. The shields are created, in the following places: One in front of Saiga, two on his left and right side, and one protecting his back. These shields move up, and down, blocking the path of the pestering sun flies, causing them to bounce backwards before perusing him once more.

His eyes widen in surprise, after seeing ten more fly like projectiles being launched towards him. Deciding not to lay in wait for them to join the others, and perhaps exploding along with them, Saiga decides to escape now. The platform at his feet rising him into the air quickly, though Saiga regretted leaving the ground where he was at the advantage, he figured it must be done in order to prevent harm. The shields rising with him, if no obstacles lay in his way, Saiga would now be hovering ten meters above the ground. Moving towards Naoki at full speed, he would arrive above the man's head, in only a matter of moments.

"Well done, Naoki." The man would say while above Naoki's head. "It seems I was correct to choose you as a sparring partner. Though I'm afraid to say this must end now." If Naoki agrees to conclude the spar, Saiga would drift backwards on his shield before lowering himself to the ground in front of the man. The shields around him completely dissipating to dust. Looking over towards the now rising sun, Saiga could only smile slightly, of the many accomplishments he had managed to make in a single day.

However, if the man had not agreed to conclude the spar Saiga would attempt to hurriedly end it. Hovering above the man's head, he would place all surrounding shields, towards the bottom platform. Combining them together, they would transform the bottom of the platform to a spike, half a meter wide, and three meters long. Along with this, the 3 gallons worth of dust hovering around him would now be turned into needles roughly one centimeter long, and half that in width. Approximately twenty-five of these are created before dropping off onto the area below Saiga, the needles covering a radius of three meters completely, while dropping down at top speed. Even with this, Saiga lowers himself at top speed, towards Naoki's head, Saiga would stop just before piercing his head. In an attempt to get the man to concede.

[+7 gallons of Osmium dust]

{Apologizing in advance for any errors, for I am very sleepy atm, lol.}

Naoki would note the creation of the shields, the purpose pretty clear. Both him and his opponent knew the fight was coming to an end, hell, with the man surrounded by the swarm, the fight could be ended at any moment, but this was only a demonstration, neither Naoki taking his seals to their max potential, nor did Saiga bring out all the destruction his sand could do, if Naoki was correct about it. And he would be proved correct in a moment, as Saiga rose about the sunflies using a metal square under his feet and then flew on it, together with his shields, to Naoki at the speed the sunflies simply could not follow. Smiling in recognition of Saiga holding his power to such degree, the Uchiha would agree to conclude the spar with a nod. His sunflies harmlessly returning to him while the metal sand wielding leader of the Waterfall village landed in front of him. "Good fight." he would say, quite satisfied with the way it ended, although he would not have minded a couple more rounds. Finishing his drink, he would then return to the bar and order another, his sharingan receding on his way there, then the man would look at how the others were doing.

Bane, Dark Lord of the Sith had been rather distracted during the entirety of the spar between the two. The reason for said distraction was several citizens had asked if he wanted to dance. Seeing how most of the guests were occupied he decided he might as well take up the offer, after all it would be rude for him to decline the request of his people. So it took him a few minutes to realise that the spar had ended. Politely excusing himself he made his way back to the table, downing the rest of his drink as he approached the table. Seating himself Bane would glance towards the returning duo smiling towards them. "Enjoy yourselves?"

Smiling slightly as he, and Naoki part ways, he walks towards Kaede. "Thoroughly." Placing his empty glass on the table, he leans over, and lifts his gourd up from the ground. Grasping it in his left hand, he stares around puzzled for a moment before finally locating its cork, which happens to be right beneath him. Setting the cork on the empty gourd, he wonders if he would be able to fit all of his acquired sand within the gourd at its current size. Opting against the possibility of all of his sand fitting, he applies a small surge of chakra towards the hand which holds the gourd. The chakra itself, enters the gourd, and begins to expand it from the inside, whilst retaining its outward appearance. The name of this jutsu is Dimension Expansion. A jutsu he felt the need to require long ago. Having known then that it would be need for moments like now, when the size of his dust has outgrown its container.

Steadily increasing the height and width inside the gourd, via applying chakra, he looks over towards Shingetsu. The two men would have to soon return home, and check up on the village. Since, he figured for a lot to have changed since his departure. Hopefully nothing bad happened, like his village being destroyed, or taken over by someone else. Which was indeed possible.Only recently given such a position, as to look over an entire village, just to leave it for two days...The more he thought of this the more it worried him. He would have to return soon indeed.

Looking back at Naoki, and then Kaede. He finally begins his parting speech. "Kaede, once again I must say, not only is your village bountiful in its relaxing resorts, it's also seems to be just as much blessed with having skilled ninja." He says, looking over at Naoki out of the corner of his eye. "But I'm afraid to say that this is goodbye, for now. Ya know I can only leave my village unguarded for so long, before the God of wrath is tempted to have his way with it." After saying this, he begins to chuckle, noticing the irony in his statement. As in fact, he himself is the God of wrath that he spoke of, in such a joking manner. Looking over towards his Jounin, he clears his throat before calling the man over. "Shingetsu! Do you care to give these gentlemen a final word in parting?" Though being the leader of the entire village, therefore technically an overseer of Shingetsu, he still found himself uneasy around the man. Maybe it is because of the vast potential Saiga sees within him. Subconsciously focused on the gourd, Saiga increases it's internal size to a total of 150 meters, before finally stopping. As this proved to be more than enough to hold the dust he had now, and possibly the amounts he may obtain in the future. Looking over at the others, he waits for their responses.

[Expanded Gourds internal dimensions to a total of 150 meters. 500/500]

During all of the excitement, Shingetsu had disappeared with a thin trail of blood a long time ago while everyone was distracted. He had learnt that kids were in fact, not immune to spinebusters.

Walking up to the bar, Naoki would spot his village leader, who asked if they enjoyed themselves and Saiga almost immediately answered. Now leaning at the bar, with another full glass in his hand, Naoki would give his response as well. "Yes, it was mighty fun. Nothing less to be expected from a strong leader!" He would raise the drink, while nodding at Saiga. Taking a sip the Uchiha would notice the man doing something with his gourd he was carrying. If he was right, it was that gourd that contained the starting amount of the metal dust, although the amount had increased during the fight, doubtful it would fit inside now. Naoki got interested, if the man was going to do some sort of trick, it might be worth looking at, his eyes swirling to their three tomoe state. He would see the technique performed, much simpler than the manipulation ability Saiga used in their fight also completely of a different category. In fact, Naoki was quite familiar with techniques of this kind and would grasp the concept quite easily.

He would be brought back by Saiga speaking, his sharingan returning to normal. Listening to the words carefully Naoki could already feel a kind of sadness. It was strange to meet such talented people and only for a short time before they had to depart, he liked them. After taking another sip Naoki would say. "Well, this has been an enriching experience. I hope we will get a chance to meet again. Now, if our leader does not object, I will escort you to the gates." That being said, he would start making his way, hopefully with Saiga following him. On their way they would find Shingetsu and take him to the gates. He looked very much trashed, that's what hitting vodka like that does to you...
With a few respectful words of adieu Naoki would see the ninja of Takigakure off, then unless commanded by Kaede for something else, he would return the empty glass to the bar at the party, have a couple dances with the girls and go home, hit the bed. It has been very interesting day.
