Training on the borders of Konoha

Kani had tried to grab a hand full of the young chunnins attire but had failed to realize how tight the clothing was that he wore was. His hand would connect with the hard part of his chunnin flak jacket and he would continue his move on where Youka would almost toss him aside. His back was turned at this point but he heard the sound of fresh earth being dug up and turned on a dime, using the momentum of the spin to add to his speed, and stick a fist out at the incoming man which if he failed to dodge would hit him square in the nose. If he did manage to dodge Hikarishi would be ready to move in on him like white on rice on a paper plate in a snow storm. Striking out with body blows and kicks one low aimed kick for every two punches at the chest whether it was blocked or not.

Standing Maku looked back to see what chaos the other two men had gotten themselves in to. He saw the two men, in mid combat unsure which one would have the advantage.  Deciding that this was training after all, he rushed forward to rejoin the fray. 

If Hika had succeeded and was hitting Youka, then Maku would aim a decisive punch at Hika's kidneys from behind.  should that succeed Maku would also attempt to get Hika in a choke hold and use his body to defend from Youka's retaliation

Should Youka have succeeded mounting Hika, then Maku running full speed would leap, and spear the pair of them attempting to knock both over and discombobulate them.  If all went as planned then using the momentum of the leap and spearing, he would roll over the two to stand on the other side of them.

Maku knew he lacked taijutsu skills, so he liked to just do crazy moves in the hopes they would pay off, desperate times need desperate measures after all.

Jumping on Hika wasn't the best idea he had learned just a little too late. Hika had a plan for mostly everything and this was no exception. He had dodged the punch but it wasn't enough to detour Hika as he was on him in the next moment. He didn't have time to form a defense and he needed to still turn and watch the other combatant.

Maku would have been on the two by now attempting hits on Hika before moving to a choke hold. To which Youka would watch through a makeshift guard till he saw his chance to get away from this dog pile.

A kidney punch came from behind on the second set of hits aimed at Youka. Cringing slightly Hikarishi thought fast on his feet and kicked backwards guessing where the other man might be, the guess was based on how the hit came and that fact that the man was probably taller than the 9 year old, the kick backwards would be aimed the the inner thigh and a little high at that if the man did not back off fast enough would find a foot right where his man hood was He would turn his attention back to Youka if the kick worked striking at him in the same pattern as before one kick every two hits.

If the kick did not work and the man was able to back off Hikarishi would grant a reprieve to Youka as he jumped back at maku with his elbow aimed at his chest.

Maku saw the kick coming just in time and leaped backwards to avoid it.  However Hika seemed prepared because he was already leaping backwards to hit him.  Not knowing what to do Maku crouched down as low as he could go.  From this crouched position he would push against Hika's legs as the man was lunging at him, hoping that he would not be able to react fast enough due to his momentum. 

If all went as planned then, Hika would be swept off his feet and go over Maku's head to land behind him.  As he would fly over him Maku would use the crouched position to his advantage and leap straight towards Youka who, he hoped would still be disoriented by Hika's strikes. Attempting to use his low position to strike a cheap shot at Youka, first to the gut and then to the privates.

Should Hika be able to change course, then Maku would raise his arms to cover his face to absorb the majority of the hit, he would then be at the mercy of Hika's next move and have to react accordingly.

After guarding the next kick not fully blocking it but more so dispersing the pain through out his body as best as he could, he was allowed the moment to back away and stand up again by Hika thankfully. This of course didn't come without it's own troubles as Kani was coming over Hika to attack Youka. There were two shots fired the first connecting as Youka was trying to stand hitting his gut dead center causing him to bend over grabbing his stomach.

The next hit was aimed slightly more towards an intimate location which Youka would not allow to happen jumping backwards quckily to a safe 2 meter gap in between himself and the others he felt bring this spar back to their feet would turn things back to his favor. Also it would allow him time to rest his body as the other two more than likely continued their ground fight.

Hikarishi was forced into a flip but that would not stop him from having fun in this fight no not in the least way. As he was flipping he made grab at the shoulders of the boy if he was still with in range of him. If he was able to grab where he aimed when he touched the ground he would pull with all his might causing the boy to land on the ground face up as he skirted around him in the process going after Youka.

If he was unable to grab him like he had hoped He would dash after the man and tackle at the knee level in hopes of causing him to do the same thing he had just done, which was fly over him, and continue on to Youka performing the same moves on his but with less speed, only 99, in hopes that he might be able to counter it and make this fight a bit more interesting.

Another inward sigh, Maku was so happy with how things had just gone, but now things were different again.  Maku had dodged Hika's initial grab and even landed a strike on Youka.  But now he was in the air, as he had been struck from behind.  He fell through the air and landed flat on his back expelling all the air from his lungs.  Coughing and gasping He lay there for a second, listening to the raucous caused by the fighting of the other two men fighting.

Getting to his feet in a kneeling position, he looked over to see what the other two men were doing.  In this position he raised both arms in a defensive position, and stayed low so as not to leave himself open.  He would then take a brief moment to rest and regain some strength before leaping back into the fray.

This taijutsu match was begining to become problematic for Youka's knees as he was getting hit in them a lot. He didn't enjoy the feeling of being punched in the gut either which he would be sure to return the favor on his next attacks towards Kani. It was right after Youka had finally gotten away from the group and stood up to catch his breath that he saw Maku on the ground.

He didn't know where Hika was for a moment till his attention focused on the ground allowing him to see Hika coming towards him again at the knees. He assumed he was going for the same motion of attack that he had just performed on Maku. Well Youka was not about to allow himself to be grounded again. Taking a horse stance of sorts he would prepare for the rush by meeting him as well with the same force hopefully stopping him almost in a sumo fashion. He had to act fast from this so it would come across as one fluid motion what would happen next.

Youka's hands would be propped on Hikas shoulders gripping as tight as he could while he would attempt to pull Hika inwards throwing his center off balance. At this point his left leg would move in to trip him by sweeping the back of right leg hitting where the Achilles tendon is located hopefully dropping the boy directly in front of him. He would still have hold of the boys right arm where if Hika was on the ground he would grab with both hands in one place. Both hands would be on the wrist if this all went as planned where he would put most of his body weight on the wrist to hopefully put Hika out of the fight long enough for him to repay Maku for the gut punch earlier and also for aiming for his groin.

Spoiler:

After He would finish with Hika He would roll over his body back into the standing position using his full speed to close the ground on Maku 120. Maku was already in a defensive position which was exactly how Youka wanted him as he made his way towards him hopefully not attack again from behind. Reaching his location rather fast he would use the momentum again to his advantage. Scooping his left hand down low he would hopefully hook Maku's left arm into his right bringing it up as he would make his way to the back of Maku. From this position he would move Maku's own arm to his neck where he would grab it again with his other hand properly choking the young man with his own arm if this all went as planned. If nothing went wrong he would apply his knee to the boys back using it as leverage to allow him more force to pull the boys own arm into choking him. If nothing was interrupted the boy would tap out or pass out, or maybe the boy had a way to escape from this. He still did of course have the use of his free hand.

The boy had caught him off guard and he was on the ground again. Youka had ahold of his wrist for now but it would be as Youka made his move to roll that he would grab the boys foot with his other free hand pulling back hopefully making him face plant. If this worked then he would quickly roll onto the boys back and lock both his legs around Youkas upraised foot while stretching up and locking his hands up and under Youkas chin pulling it back and pulling forward on his let in a free style bow and arrow hold.

If this did not work he would watch as Youka went after the other man while standing up slowly.
