The Terrible Two of Konoha Training (closed, nk)

Kasai, watching Tatsuya fall to the ground, ends the jutsu. 
"I am sorry, friend. I hope you are not too hurt," said, turning, and then extending a hand to Tatsuya.
He was surprised that his tactic had worked, but also impressed with Tatsuya's devotion to nature.
Kasai had used Tatsuya's belief against him, and that had hurt Kasai to watch.
"If you would like to take a break, we may." 
He had never seen someone who cared about nature so much as to greatly injure them-self to avoid harming it. It was indeed impressive, and he thought highly of Tatsuya for that. 
"Such strong passions may hurt us, but stay true to yours, and it may be an ally."
He watched his friend, on the ground, his hands bleeding, and he could see Tatsuya becoming a powerful shinobi one day. Perhaps even a Sage, a legendary guardian, a Sanin. 
He smiled beneath his mask at his friend's strength.

Tatsuya sits on the ground as his comrade comes over to help him up. Kasai offers Tatsuya a helping hand, Tatsuya takes it and is lifted back up to his feet. Tatsuya looks to his hands a the bleeding goes down. "We really need to get some ninja tools." Tatsuya says smiling "But oh well it builds character." Tatsuya brushes him self off a bit stretches slightly.
Tatsuya points his thumb into the air to give a thumbs up. "If this were a real battle  then i would get no brake." With that Tatsuya takes a leap back to leave a space of five meters between the two of them. "Well now lets get back to it." Tatsuya was filled with happiness to have found some one to give him a hand when he falls. Kasai may be a bit odd but every one is odd in there own way. Tasuya is glad to have Kasai as you comrades are the most important element in someone's life. Tatsuya brings his arms up to his chest with his left arm in front. His palms are open and his figures lay next to one another, one by one. Tatsuya brings his right leg back a bit putting him in a slight lunge position and gets read to react. Who would make the first move him or Kasai?

Kasai stares as Tatsuya takes a fighting position, and makes his claim.
"You are truly strong, my friend," Kasai bows his head, and slowly tilts his head to a side. 
"If you would like to stop, simply say so."
He relaxed his body. Now, he believed the hand to hand combat would come. This was what he was looking forward to. Tatsuya's chakra exceeded his own greatly, but Kasai found his strength in speed.
He was unsure if his strength was more or less than Tatsuya's, but he supposed that he would soon find out.
He did, however, find Tatsuya's persistence something astonishing. Many would perhaps find this trait of his extremely annoying, yet Kasai truly admired it. This friend before him, he would indeed go far, and Kasai was very glad that they were friends. Together, Kasai felt strength that he had never known. 
The Terrible Two of Konoha? Terrible maybe, but great, that is for sure.
"You're move, my friend," he said, his voice echoing out from his mask.

Tatsuya smiles "Well then get ready!!" Tatsuya takes out in a sprint towards Kasai head on. He extends his right arm back in a fin like manner. Tatsuya charges for Kasai and as soon as Tatsuya is about five feet from Kasai he make a small move to the right so that he is not running towards Kasai full on. His plan was to fool Kasai by running towards him but when he made his alteration his right arm would fly into Kasai's lower chest. It were almost a move if some one had a sword that would have sliced right through someone.  But this was just Tatsuya's arm so if anything it would knock Kasai back and place him one the ground. Because Tatsuya was running at a high speed  he could not just simply stop his movement. If he were successful in landing a hit on Kasai, Tasuya would preform a summer salt (brining himself to the ground)and preform a jutsu to land Kasai in a pit.

Kasai reacts immediately when Tatsuya begins to move. 
He sees him charge, and begins to charge himself. However, as Tatsuya moves to his left, Kasai moves the opposite direction, putting him out of the range of Tatsuya's arm. He slides to a sudden stop, turns, and then begins to charge Tatsuya from behind, gaining ground, as he is slightly faster than Tatsuya. 
That was interesting. We both made identical moves.
It was strange, as he had been planning to do the same move, only without the arm stuck out. He liked that bit however. It reminded him of a sword. 
He did not want to use his own jutsu though. He wanted this next part to only be physical for him, so he speeds up, and charges his friend from behind.

Tatsuya sees what Kasai had done and smiled at the fact they had similar moves. "Grate minds think alike." Tatsuya says as Kasai passes him. He then notices immediately after Kasai fallows him. Kasai is much faster then Tatsuya but Tatsuya will make up for that in his next move. Kasai gains on him as the perfect tree approaches. Tatsuya leaps up into the branch using his surface walking abilities. Tatsuya swings from one branch to another as if he was swinging from on branch to another. Tatsuya swings side to side as well as jumps from one branch to another making sure its a branch that wont brake when there wight falls onto it.

"Indeed," Kasai said as he passed Tatsuya.
He turned, and ran quickly. He was faster than Tatsuya, that was apparent. He was gaining ground quickly, starting to catch up. He knew Tatsuya's strength was not in speed. Yet, he also knew Tatsuya was smart, and Kasai wanted to see what he would do. 
Then, Tatsuya jumped up into the trees, and Kasai watched him go. He slowed down slightly, to keep directly under Tatsuya, glancing up as he went.
"You look like a monkey, swinging like that," Kasai said as he ran underneath his friend. He had a feeling that Tatsuya would drop down on him at some point, or perhaps would wait until Kasai ran face first into a tree, so he kept careful watch on both Tatsuya, and where he was running.

Tatsuya observes as Kasai runs under him wondering if he was going to jump up into the tree with him. After a short time of them running and jumping Tatsuya decides to do something. He knows that Kasai is faster and even more so with Tatsuya in the trees. So Tatsuya slows his speed slightly and slowly so that Kasai gets a little in front of him. Then he makes a brake to get even higher witch brings him into the dense leaves thus making Tatsuya disappear from bellow. He jumps higher and higher until he had reached the tops of the tree now able to see the village and the forest that surrounds it. Tatsuya then moves to a different tree so that it will make it much harder for Kasai to pin point were he is and then make an attack from underneath. So Tatsuya decides to wait on top of the trees for Kasai to pop up were ever that may be. Still keeping an eye bellow him he scans the rest of the trees.

Kasai stopped immediately as Tatsuya disappeared above him. For a moment, he braced for an attack, but then heard the rustling, and realized that Tatsuya must have been climbing to the top. He stared upwards, wondering what his friend was going to do.
Do you insist on fighting in the highest branches?
He looked up for a moment more before realizing it was pointless. He was going to have to climb as well. 
Taking a step back, Kasai prepared to launch himself. He flew into the lowest hanging branch, and then up to the next, and higher and higher. Each branch he propelled himself further and further up. Faster and faster he jumped, until the branches grew thick all around him. He pushed them aside, climbing higher and higher, his mask blocking any of the small branches from hitting his face.
Soon, his head popped up above the trees. He looked around, the light blinding him momentarily.
Then, he spotted Tatsuya a few trees away.

Tatsuya shivers as he sees his comrade across the tree line from him as if they were in some epic battle. "How you feeling over there?" Tatsuya calls out to Kasai. "You look like the sun rising above the horizon." Then he looks for what to do. Because they are standing on not the best surface to be standing on he dose not want to get to intricate in his move. Once again he decides to start by juts running towards Kasai. First looking  for the best place to put his foot down he gets ready. Tatsuya runs towards Kasai in a slower pace then what he could normally do. Placing each foot carefully but with swiftness he gets closer to Kasai. Tatsuya has his hands ready as well as the rest of his body to react to anything that Kasai may throw at him. Tatsuya is much closer to Kasai now and waits to see what his move will be.
