Relics of a different time [P, NK]

"I saved your life, welp. Twice. A mistake that will not be shared again today." He snarled, watching the male launch his attack on him. Golly, this was fun indeed. The male was quick, and Xyxer was impressed that he had learned to use his weaponry so well. A small embodiment of Kirigakure remained with him at least.. It was quite upsetting for Xyxer, he was no longer Kirigakure. He was a torn entity with no home no more. A  person that had no home had no heed for honour or rules. So it was simple, when the male spun around to swing at him, Xyxer rolled backwards from the male, rolling in such a fashion that a cloud of dust would spring up from their position and towards the eyes of Kenchi with the hopes of disorientating him. However, the roll would not stop him from launching his attack as he sprung like a snake would strike, launching from a coil on the ground directly at the males legs with his ninjato now twisted into a reverse grip and his kunai held outwards to dig into his leg.

Takizawa watches the man roll backwards, though for a moment dust kicks into the air, and in his eyes. He winces a single time, attempting to see through the dust, but it is to no avail. Without hesitating, he uses his trump card. The byakugan in his right eye activates, and from below he can see the man attempting to slash at his legs. The vision from the eye Haru had given him was pure, and it allowed him to see the man's chakra points clearly, not that he could do anything to them... Pressing his feet into the ground, he would leap into the air avoiding the low attack, which would cause him to hit nothing, but air. He figured around this time the man would probably be confused, and thanks to the dust, it would still surround his area of vision both straight forward, and in the peripheral. Landing softly behind the grounded Xyxer, he would kick out with his right foot, intending to slam it into the man's rear end. Followed by this, he would attempt to slam the hilt of the katana in his left hand, against the back of the man's skull. It would be embarrassing for him, but it would be enough to get his point across. "Well that was then, and this is now. As of now, I think it is safe to say that I am the only swordsman from Kirigakure No Sato. Wouldn't you agree?" After saying this, he would deactivate his byakugan, not giving the man the opportunity to see his trump card.

-1 AP for byakugan activation.

559 AP remaining.

Somewhat confused when, in the distance he had measured he would catch the man, he felt nothing, nor did he see. It truly was weird.. What was even weirder, was how Kenchi's action of jumping had parted the dust that was at the ground, allowing Xyxer to catch a glimpse of a moving shadow. That was funny. Pushing his hand with the kunai against the ground, he released it momentarily to get a push from the ground before he flipped into the air in front of the male, bringing his kunai, now held again, downwards in a clawing fashion that matched a cat on drapes, with his other hand ready to follow the reflection of light that would hint at Kenchi's sword movements.

The byakugan instantly alerted Kenchi to the man's quick, and precise movements. However before his eyes could meet the man's he would deactivate it, in hopes of keeping it a secret from him, for the time being. He would lift the katana in his right hand, and attempt to slam it against the ninjato in the Xyxer's left hand. With the katana in his left hand he would raise it, and attempt to slash the man's chest diagonally from right to left, the slash starts at Xyxer's right hip, it would end near his left armpit, in the path of the slash is the man's kunai, aiming to deflect any incoming attacks, he would place all of his strength behind the blow threatening to knock the kunai from Xyxer's hand should they clash. Both actions would be done at exactly the same time, and with an unimaginably amount of expertise.

Alright, this was it. The bull rearing it's horns. The creme de le creme. The.. The survival? He had saw his attack.. This guy was good. Much better than the runt he was before, it was a good job Xyxer had not drowned the pup when he had the chance to. Then again, he still did. When the male's slashes came he attempted to block the katana on Kenchi's left with his ninjato, and did so  alright due to the hand hold. However, when he went to block with the kunai he felt something weird.. He felt a lack of strength. The kunai was gone, but thankfully for him he had launched his own attack when he had saw his. It was not as direct as Kenchi's.. It was a hidden knee shot to the man's goolies, happening when the slashes occurred. While disarmed temporarily, Xyxer dunked his hand in his ninja pouch once more. Fighting fair never resolved a true conflict, his days as a thief in Kirigakure had taught him that honour kills men. Perhaps Kenchi was honorable..

Kenchi cringes slightly, as the man's knee connects. Luckily, he had managed to pull away a little the moment he saw the low blow approaching, lessening its effect somewhat. "Damnit!!" He screams loudly, his undying will does not fade, his sword continues to slash, knocking away the man's kunai, and passing thinly over Xyxer's chest. The blade of the sword creates a thin diagonal line along the man's chest to his right armpit, easily passing through his clothing, which compared to the blades sharpness seemed very null. However the point of the attack was not to cause any real harm, but in all honesty it was to mock the man, pull away his pride for just a moment so that he could see that the boy standing in front of him was not the same kid that followed him around without regard in Kiri. He knew that Xyxer had to understand this now. If not perhaps the little bit of mercy Kenchi showed him in this attack by not leaning forward, and ending it with deeper, more lethal strike, would get to him. His left blade after passing through the man's flesh remains at a height equal to Xyxer's right shoulder. It is while in the position he swings once more, fluidly from one attack to the other, the slash aims to rightfully decapitate Xyxer, half of the blade's length being aimed at his neck.
