Blades, knifes, and trees {training Nk, IO}

Kankri awoke from his rather repugnant dreamhis eye seemed red as a sign he was still tired as all hell, he still pressed on, he got out of his bed dressed in nothing but his under wear, he slipped into is pants fast he threw on his shirt and grabbed a bowl of cereal and went threw his front door, he hopped over the side of his porch free falling then landing with precise balance, he went into a crowd of about 20 men and women, he finished the cereal once threw the crowd throwing it back to his porch of course the bowl shattered into little pieces but Kankri didn't care he kept his motives in his mind he wanted to get stronger, he kept on walking he made his steps into the training forest although only called the training forest.

Kankri climbed up a tree the tallest tree that wouldn't kill him if he where to fall he the back flipped off the trees top, throwing his kunais at the targeted branches hitting them rather quickly, the kunais where left about 10 feet in the air, Kankri chuckled as he began to run up the tree, getting to the kunais, he gripped on to them, he then flung himself off the tree with a bit of haste once off the tree he landed out front of a rock, his skidding didn't give him much a chance to dodge so his face simply slammed against the boulder, Kankri put the kunais in his kunai pocket which seemed rather small only having 2 kunais.

Kankri looked at the rock with hate in his eyes, his face had a small cut that was now bleeding, he tried to push the rock keeping in his mind simply that this was useless he couldn't do it he didn't know the boulder was so annoying Kankris eye squinted he he began punching the damn boulder, withing the first few punches his left first now had a major gash in it, the blood flowed and dripped its crimson coloring into a pool now made by Kankris blood, the gash was deep enough to need stitch's Kankri didn't care he kept punching the boulder, after 5 minutes Kankri had lost all feelings in his hands, and they where ripped, tattered with skin then blood, his flesh showing, he ripped some of his shirt off wrapping it in the now ripped shirt which could now be refereed to a a cloth.

Kankri refused to be beaten by this stupid inanimate object, he then began to kick the rock his hardest, managing only to hurt his feet and mildly making skid marks onto the rock, it didn't do anything more than put darkened skid marks onto the rocks smooth round posture, Kankri began to rage quiet a bit to the point he grabbed another rock and smash it against the other larger rock the smaller rock crumbled into nothing leaving Kankri with little to nothing left in the smaller rock Kankris eyes widened "Yeah fuck this" Kankri said with another kick to the rock stubbing his toe he leaned against a tree on the border of the norma training field and the forest.

[Got permission to invade this ish!]

Sora hopped around the village, his destination being the training grounds. The news around the village had finally reached his ears. The chuunin exams were underway! He heard it was going to be word wide, meaning people from all sorts of villages would be coming to join. Not only was he ecstatic, but he was nervous beyond belief. The boy was positive there was plenty of individuals many times stronger than himself. For all he knew, most could be more experienced! Though, that would be strange considering they would have been the same rank. There was the possibility they could've become genin before him... oh well, he better not focus on it. The wind blew as he neared the training grounds, ruffling his clothes and hair. Today he had on a blue jacket with sleeves that reached above his elbows. Under that was a black long sleeved shirt. For lower body he wore regular black shorts and his black shinobi sandals. On his side would be his Ninjato, ready to be unsheathed whenever needed.

It didn't take long for him to reach the gate, but instead of opening it, he leaped over it. Sora landed on the ground safely, a grin now planted on his face. He then took a moment to inspect the area before him. What caught his eye was a familiar face with a ... puddle of blood near by... How strange. Since he was out of Kankri's line of sight, Sora walked towards the back of the tree the guy was leaning against. He then climbed up and reached the first branch, before climbing over to one that was above Kankri's head. The genin made sure not to make a sound so the boy below him wouldn't notice. He then held onto the branch using both hands and crossing his legs, next flipping upside down so his face would be only 1 foot in front of Kankri's. "... Sup, Kanks?"

Kankri slightly irritated by then mans arrival. Sora just had to swing from the trees like really, did this guy not know how to act normal? Kankri began to ponder fast, he must have had a way into this area not truly knowing how he did it. He simply thought "Can this boy dig?" He pondered looking at him in the false silence. He had no clue whether the kid had a problem from the fight beforehand with the simple dirty moves Kankri formed that day. Or not before a few words slipped from his mouth that had the greetings hello, then his name.

Kankri slightly unimpressed by Soras entrench gave a simple sigh looking back up with annoyed eyes why could this boy not muster the simple words hi?I mean he could have if he tried. He simply didn't even care, and with him not caring he was left with this stupid entrance. I mean who comes down from a tree nowadays?Kankri began to open his mouth, slightly angry with the way he was beaten last time.His speed was no match and Kankri found this out last time they sparred.This time would be no different no matter what said person did.

Kankri again looked at the boy. His moment of silence now gone he began to open his moan as to let the cool crisp air in.Using the new found air in his lungs his trecia began to take its rightful position forming his words into organized speak.The words would come out rather normal speed and hit the boys eardrums going threw the ear holes.Once down said ear holes the wielder of said ears would hear what Kankri said.In short Kankri was speaking clearly to said person saying a simply two letter word.The words would form into the sentence "Hello Sora how are you?" That is all his mind let him say for that bit of time.

(Wc 325 + words before this)

Kankri obviously wasn't trying hard enough in concealing the "disdain" shining in his eyes. Or was that annoyance... Sora couldn't really tell the difference between the two. It wasn't like he was going to try though either. He could feel the blood slowly, but surely, rushing to his head due to being upside down. The boy knew he needed to get down soon or else he was going to be dizzy. Too dizzy to even stand possibly! An innocent look formed on Sora's face as he continued to stare at Kankri. Just when was this guy going to speak? The silence was a bit unnerving... just plain uncomfortable. The Yuki let go of his hold on the branch, letting his body head towards the ground. Before he could hit the surface, Sora quickly flipped and safely landed on all fours.

A grin made it's way to his face after finally hearing Kankri speak to him. The genin lifted his head to face the older child and opened his mouth to reply. "I'm doing great! But, did ya hear? The chuunin exams are coming soon!" Sora practically rushed. He leaped onto his feet before jumping back by 2 meters. "You're the first person I thought of for a good spar. And I'm pretty sure you improved since last time," he repeatedly punched the air for added effect, "Come on, come on. What do you say? Come at me!" A larger grin than previously could be seen on the genin's face. Man, even saying the word "exams" got him pumped up. Anytime in the past he would've simply been bored and ignore it. Though, ever since his birthday he seemed to be more jumpy than before.

Sora finally stopped bouncing around like a fool and stood up straight. He replaced his grin for a small smirk, a mischievous glint now in both his eyes. He put up his left hand and performed a beckoning motion. He wanted Kankri to come at him without holding back. Today, he was going to improve his skills no matter what... ! The boy had his right hand placed on the handle of his ninjato, ready to unsheathe it if need be. This spar would also be the perfect chance for him to practice his sword skill. Those weaponry missions really served it's purpose... look at him, now he wants to specialize in kenjutsu once he's chuunin!

Kankri smiled, he could do with a bit of how do you say... Challenge, this boy had rudely beaten him beforehand due to his speed being a total Genin, Kankri had little to no chance against him then, he aced his genin exams or at least that is what he would think, his hands still bleeding he unwrapped them, showing his now drying deep gashes his eyes shown with the evil colors of hate signaling that he was going to take this as though he was the enemy. Kankri looked at the boy placing his feet about 2 feet apart, he would look at Sora one last time checking his stance, the boy looked about as odd as ever, seemingly quick to draw that blade of his, Kankri planned his attacks very carefully, the boy might expect a few old tricks from Kankri sorta like the sand and such, which wouldn't be such a bad thing, but Kankris hands again where bleeding from his fist fight with a tree, then a rock, now he needed to fight this boy.

Kankri gave one warning "Not holding back" Kankri would say throwing one of his transmetal Kunais and grasping the other, the kunai went on a course that would his the boys sheath, this would make the boys pull a few seconds later Kankri now wielding his secondary kunai would bring it up, stabbing him in his right arm, after this would occur Kankri would leave the Kunai there not pulling it out, he would signal a shadow clone jutsu he had done at the Genin exam, after this jutsu was casted, Kankri would then attack the boy from both sides, this would cause confusion for the boy both because to be at you most powerful with a blade, you must use both hands, but this coming from a simple samurai code Kankri had no clue about the boys tactics, If Kankris attacks hit then a plumbing would occur, Kankris clone would swing his leg at Soras face while Kankri himself would simply rip the kunai out of the boy, the kunai with sharpness 40, soon after Kankri would pull the pimpin' kunai out it would go back in, this time using its shifting ability making it into a shuriken, it would simply be aimed at Soras leg making it so Sora would have a hard time moving, Kankris clone would continue punching the enemy in the face with a few kicks to follow, this would be risky due to the clone being a possible blocking point for the shuriken, Kankri gave little shits what happened to a clone of him, the thing wouldn't die only go poof.

{Wc: 446 Also feel free to dodge all this except for the sheath thing}

Sora's smirk grew bigger as Kankri began to spread his feet apart. "Not holding back..." he mumbled. The uncharacteristic glint in his eye grew a bit brighter. "Not holding back," he spoke louder this time. He partially drew his blade, not completely pulling it out of his sheathe. The light from the sun bounced off of it, practically blinding those near by. "That's the spirit!" Sora grinned, showing off his pearly whites. He didn't flinch once he saw the kunai coming towards him. In fact, it was going quite slow despite it being thrown. He had always expected flying projectiles to be as fast as someone not... slower. He pulled out his ninjato before the kunai could hit his sheathe. He then used his blade to knock the kunai away, it's direction heading straight back at Kankri. At this time, however, his opponent should have been making his way to stab him.

Sora used his superior speed to lean to the left, dodging the stab to his arm. He immediately used this moment to slightly bend down and aim a slash for Kankri's left side. He would only use enough power to create a non fatal gash. If this attack had worked, Sora would pull back his blade quickly attempt to sweeping kick his opponent. This should have sent the older child falling backwards and onto his back. Sora wouldn't even give him a minute to rest. Not even a second after would the boy try to push Kankri down quicker with his foot. He would then aim the tip of his blade at the older kid's next. If he was still successful with his strikes, a small smile would form on the genin's face. "Okay then, round two!" he would say, already beginning to sheathe his sword. "One... Two... Three! GO!" Sora would've leaped 5 meters away from Kankri, safely landing onto the ground.

He would then settle into a lazy battle stance, made for both offensive and defensive. The wind would begin to blow once more which should've made his hair sway once more. He had to admit.. it had grown over the past few months. Did he need a haircut soon? The boy might just let it grow out and cut it when it gotten too long. Simple as that! Sora focused his attention back onto the battle before him, still showing off his pearly whites. "Come on! Don't hold back!"

Kankri let out a annoying grunt as the blade gashed into him, his bodies nervous system began its work, the pain wasn't to bad, had it gone deeper the pain would most likely had burned his feelings, Kankri got up after the gash to his left side, although Kankri would not fall back, instead he fell to his left side due to the force pushing him that way, Kankri wobbled before falling, Kankri needed a few seconds to wait, by 4 seconds when Sora would simply be a bit annoyed hopefully not pissed but Kankri was in a bit to much pain to care, he stepped up back on solid ground looking around then to soras feet, Kankri would retrieve his thoughts grasping on to the kunai switching it to a shuriken throwing it into the sky, it would go right above Sora, Kankri would then make a mad dash towards the other kunai, that was so rudely throw back at him, once there he would use it as a regular kunai, he would throw the kunai, simply after a few feet away he would use shadow clone jutsu to create 1 more of himself, he would then have it go left and he would go right, they would simply run around Sora causing a bit of confusion with the boy hopefully.

The kunais hit the now frozen Sora the shuriken struck into his shoulder because he refusedto move the kunai lodged in his leg, he went up to him pulled both out, he et out a sigh the kunai and shuriken now dripping with blood Kankri began to leave "See'ya later Sora" Kankri said coldly before beginning to leave.

For a moment, for some reason, Sora's eyes went dull. His body almost shut down, making him almost fall onto his face. He couldn't move as the two weapons drew closer and closer to him. The boy didn't grunt nor did he cry out in pain as the kunai and shuriken plunged into his limbs. However, sweat ran down the side of his face as he winced. Rather then let Kankri do it, Sora pulled out the weapons himself and tossed them back for the guy to catch. Sora sighed and lazily cracked his neck. Seemed he regained control of his body after he got hit. 'Why did I freeze up like that?' he wondered with a light frown. The genin blinked once Kankri voiced a rather cold goodbye to him. Was this kid bipolar or something, or did he still have a grudge on the rejection on their last meeting?

He really didn't want to leave, but he had stuff to do! The guy couldn't simply treat him unkindly because of it. ".. H-hey! Wait for me, let me come with you!" Sora exclaimed while running after Kankri. He wouldn't let this kid get away from him so easily!
