Meeting a friend (closed, nk)

Tatsuya watches the moves that transpire. After the fact he smiles and says. "For that was some excellent skill presented there. I cant wait to see what we will turn into. But lets change things up bit." Waiting a moment if one of the two wanted to speak. Tatsuya was excited about the team that was forming. "For this point on we will be fighting in my arena." Then turning around to have his back facing the two. "Fallow me if you want ill be waiting." With that Tatsuya forms the hand signs of Tiger → Boar → Ox → Dog → Snake. This will be the longest substitution Tatsuya has preformed  as he is teleported almost 45 m away into the woods that surrounded the training grounds. Tatsuya arrives in a bush were he observes the log that he switched out with hit the ground. He could see Makussu and Kasai across the field so if (or when) they pressured Tatsuya he could slip  away deeper into the woods. Tatsuya love this as a place to fight. The nature and the many shadows that were formed created a perfect place to fight. Tatsuya thought back to the last time he fought Kasai in the woods and wondered how this would be different. Feeling full of ambition Tatsuya says. "Who will be the first to come?"

[-4 substitution 155 left]

(Sorry guys, I forgot the order of posting, and got wrapped up with Kasai almost dying in another post)
Kasai watches as Tatsuya makes a substitution jutsu, aimed for the forest, then flicks his eyes back to Makussu.
He tilted his head, and slightly bowed forward to Makussu, indicating they should follow.
"A change in the battle arena will be interesting," he said, loud enough for Makussu.
Sadly, it would once again hinder his fire jutsu, as Kasai did not wish to set the forest ablaze.
It was strange, he noticed. He also believed that it would end up being quite similar to their previous battle, ending on the tops of the forest. Perhaps this was just the way his battles were destined to go with Tatsuya.
Kasai slowly took one step towards the woods which Tatsuya had vanished into, and then glanced at Makussu. He smiled under his mask, wondering if Makussu knew the wonders of the transformation jutsu yet. 
Then, Kasai ran.

( It's ok Kasai, I saw that whole thing with Youka, been watching it for a while)

Makussu watched as suddenly Tatsuya disappeared off into the woods with a poof of smoke, the great and powerful Log taking his place. Hearing the call of Tatsuya to fight, he prepared to run off towards him, seeing as Kasai was doing the same, indicated from his slight bow and short comment. Makussu internally debated the merits of this, having felt first hand the incapacitating ability of the shadows Tatsuya used, but already Kasai was stepping towards the forest looking back towards him as if to check if he was coming. The clearing now empty, Makussu quickly ran forward to catch up to his new rivals, keeping watch around him for any quick movement as he followed Kasai into the forest.

Well What do you know, Youka frequented the training grounds to watch all the raw talent Konoha had, it was interesting indeed to see the fledglings put forth their best effort to gain power and push themselves to new heights. As he watched from one of the trees as the kids played ninja beneath him he couldn't help but smile as he noticed two of the ninja as Tatsuya and Kasai, two ninja he had run into while in the class room.

He would continue to watch as they jumped here and about dashing through the woods, almost felt to Youka as if they were playing tag, well this was no way fro ninja to learn how to fight. Jumping down from his perch in the tree he would land just inches behind Tatsuya's back as he kneeled in the bushes.

"Boo."

Tatsuya hears the boo and the hairs on the back of his neck begin to stand up. He knows how it was immediately and briskly stands up. Before doing so he had looked too see if Kasai and Makussu were pursuing him. He felt like they were far enough away so that Tatsuya could bring his guard down some. "It has been a couple days sense our last encounter. Have you been able to find your way around the village?" Tatsuya thinks back that first day he had encountered Youka and the terror that Tatsuya felt. Tatsuya felt that more fondly of the man but he still creeped him out. It was curios to why Youka had came out to the training grounds as they were out of the way from other things but he probably had his reasons. Tatsuya looks back for a moment to see if they were soon to approach Tatsuya but it seemed fine. If the two decided on finding Tatsuya or even jump him they would see Youka and halt. Tatsuya wondered how Makussu would react to Youka as they probably have not met before. All in all with his scattered thoughts Tatsuya feels he will never shake the suspicion he had towards Youka.

Kasai runs towards the forest, however, when he gets to the edge, he feels a presence, one very new, but that he could never forget. 
He stopped suddenly. 
"Oh priest, have you come back to me? Come to take my life, or merely test my worth?" He almost chuckles to himself at the thought of either. 
He looked deep into the forest. He knew that both Tatsuya and Youka could see him. It would be impossible to not see him. His bright and vibrant carnival clothes, and his bright tribal mask. He stood out like a wildfire at night. 
Closing his eyes, he slowly began to walk forward, towards the huge chakra presence deeper in the wood. He knew Tatsuya would be there; Youka wasn't the type to hide, he must have come upon Tatsuya hiding. 
It was strange though, that Youka would return. Kasai wondered why. Perhaps his thought of Konoha being involved in something large was true. Perhaps Youka was indeed planning something, and maybe it involved them. This was a strange thought indeed. 
Yet, why else would Youka have returned? They were but three Genin, and not the strongest either. Was he toying with them, or was there something more?
Kasai stopped a ways away from where the two were. He would wait for Youka to act, or to speak.
He glanced back to Makussu, to see if he would also have a reaction.

Makussu followed Kasai through the woods, towards where he presumed Tatsuya was waiting for them. He lamented on the fact that he was relying on someone who just a few seconds ago he had been trading blows with it to guide him to their seemingly new arena, chuckling inwardly at the irony of it. He definitely needed to get himself some sort of sensing system soon besides his eyes if he wanted to survive in the ninja world. This thought stopped in his mind when suddenly Kasai stopped and listened to his sudden outburst to seemingly no one in particular. Why would a priest be wandering in the middle of the forest? Not to mention the first comment on his intentions. Since when were there homicidal priests traveling the lands? This was something he needed clearance on, now. Turning to Kasai, he spoke. "Uh Kasai....who are you talking to?"

Youka stood from the shrubbery letting himself be seen clearly by the other two genin.

"He was talking to me young one, and Kasai, I have no idea what you mean, I bare no ill will towards anyone, and have yet to harm anyone. I merely travel looking for those who are lost in sin."

Seeing the new genin as someone he hadn't met at all yet he would walk closer to it while talking.

"So what exactly are you three doing in this forest all by yourselves, practicing? I could make it worth your time if you actually wanted to test yourselves."

Tatsuya watches as Kasai and Makussu walk up to him and Youka. Then Tatsuya listens to what Youka says and then shortly after he responds. "Well im not too sure how we will match up too you as you are quite experienced but it would be a fantastic opportunity to sharpen our skills as ninja."
Tatsuya looks to Kasai and Makussu to see if they agree. For Tatsuya so far was successful is using his skill against shinobi that were at a similar level as Tatsuya was but he had not gone tested against an opponent that was much more skills then he did. Tatsuya did feel in fact that Youka would not hurt the 3 in anyway. They may get thrown around a bit but that was just the way or the ninja. Getting excited he hoped that Kasai and Makussu felt the same way.

(got stuff that needs to get done lol)
Youka remembered he left the stove on....in Taki.....
