Teamwork? Could use some work..(IO,NK)

Now that Tatsuay was under the cat it would take a few moments for the cat to notice that he was there. In the mean time Tatsuay was going to finish this little spar.  Clapping his hands and surging his chakura from his palms into the earth a 5m by 5m pillar that would rise 20m in the sky. The speed of the pillar did match the Daichi's speed so that meant he could escape the jutsu but Tatsuya would not allow that. With out the use of any hand signs his shadow latches onto Daichi's body and once the pillar stopped moving Tatsuya pulls down the giant cat with the will of the Shadow Neck Binding Technique.

But Wait! Tatusya was under the cat but that was of no concern. Tatusya was fairly strong and after releasing the shadows Tatusya pusses the cat back up in the air with all his might. Yelling out some words Tatsuay throws the giant cat off the large pillar across the field a fair few meters. Now of course Daichi was a cat and he did manege to not completely wipe out but he did hit the ground with a loud thud.

The cat gets back up and walks back to the pillar. Once there he looks up at the standing proud Tatsuya and says.

"My, my how much you have grown from the first time I met you in the dark land of Tengua."

"Hehe thanks" Tatsuya says taking off the blind fold.  "And thank you for this short little spar, it was quite useful."

"Very well, I shall take my leave now." With that the cat disappears into a puff of smoke.

Looking onto his fellow friends Tatsuya says. "Now then little ones how about we begin that spar that Jason was talking about!"

Waiting a response Tatsuya will most likely slide down the pillar and join the rest.

[Yee Yee lets do this spar! Also if its okay with you guys im not going to deduct apt in this little spar thing I just did]

"Just a small needle's worth.... that's all. That's all the blood I need to give up. That is it. That's all I need to do..." She thought, as her face turned pale and sweat started to bead upon her brow. Dropping her head, she poked her finger out from her fist, giving it a stare that seemed to go on for milennia. The girl looked up and offered her finger, "I don't have anything sharp on me."

[The following takes place after the contract is signed.]

Looking to Tatsuya, Risako nods. "Why not? Let's get to it."

[Sorry for teh shortness, this is my last short one for the rest of this post.]

Listening to Risako, and seeing her face change, Kasai knew that she was having the same dilemma that many would have. It was not simply a normal thing, to make yourself bleed.
"You may use this," Kasai said, tossing her the ring he wore. When twisted, a very small blade would pop out of the ring, not even sharp enough or large enough to deal any sort of damage. "Though you might not feel the pain, it will draw but a prick of blood."
Then, he listened as the others suggested a spar. He sighed, but nodded his head. It would be good training for the others, though he himself did not expect to need the experience in the future.  
The only question he had floating around in his head was who he might fight here.

Jason had defeated his wood clones in a quick sparring match against himself. Now he looked over in the direction of Kasai and Risako and saw that Tatsuya had finished his own solo training and joined them. They were talking about something but Jason was too far to make out what they were saying. He decided he would go over and join them, taking a break from his own solo training. He walked the 35 meters toward his friends at a leisurely pace, or what was a leisurely pace for Jason anyway(35 speed). When he got to the group he would look at everyone and smile. "So is everyone done with their training for now?" he would ask the group, prepared to suggest a two on two training match again. He wasn't quite sure how he should make the pairings go but he was thinking of pairing himself with Risako as he seemed to be the strongest out of the group and she happened to be the weakest, not that she wasn't strong in her own right. He wondered if he could or even should try and use wood clones in the spar as it was a fairly new jutsu and he was still working out the kinks for it. He decided he would choose to use them if he needed to but to not rely on them too much. This all would run through Jason's head as he stood there looking at his friends and awaiting their responses.

Having every one back together Tatsuya felt ready to move on to there spar. He looked around and thought what  would be the fairest way for splitting up the group. It was a fact that Risako was most lacking in jutsu capability so there would be a team with a bit more leverage the the other.

"Well if we were to be symbolic about the situation it would be fitting for Jason and my self being the two tree hugers going up against the destructive force of fire." Tatsuya says with a grin being a bit sarcastic. "However." Tatsuya looks at Kasai. "It would be nice to show what the Terrible two of Konoha are capable of."

Tatusya was of course referring to Kasai and the titles they gave them self so long ago. It had been a long time sense Tatsuya said thous words and man did it feel good.

Wincing at the ring, Risako gave it a twist so the girl could look at the sharpness in it. Sighing, she saw no other way around it. Slipping the ring on her middle finger, she gave it a quick twist accompanied by a small yelp. As the blood trickled down her finger, she leaned forward over the scroll, and put her finger to the paper. After drawing out her name on the scroll, she turned her attention to the spar. 

It seemed like Tatsuya was pretty eager to test everyone out. Or, maybe he just wanted to spend some time being nostalgic with Kasai. She also wondered why they were called the terrible two, but thag didn't matter. Risako was unsure of how long they knew eachother, but they seemed close. She would pronounce her readiness, "I don't care who I get thrown in with, whenever you're ready." 

[Ok, THIS is the last short post o mine. I apologize.]

Kasai nodded as the girl singed her name. At that, Ruijin rolled up the large scroll, and picked it up. Then, he vanished in another poof as Kasai released the jutsu. Then, he listened to what the other's had to say. 
"I am done with the training," he said, nodding his head to Jason. "It matters not to me whom I fight along side, nor who wins or loses. As it should be. Violence and harm are things never meant to be released, and I am glad that we find ways to spar without much of either. I can think of no way to balance what duo may arise, but I will not hold back regardless."
Hearing Tatsuya's words, Kasai chuckles slightly to himself.
"Yes, it would be interesting to fight once again as we had once. Perhaps too unbalancing, but that is not my decision," he said, glancing then to Jason. "As it seems no one has a preference, unless you do, perhaps drawing straws or rolling dice would be the best way to decide, as we all seem neutral."
Kasai would not mind who he ended up with. Either way, each group would have something to work with. If it were himself and Risako, it would be fire against the earth of Jason and Tatsuya. If it were himself and Jason, then each team would have both fire and earth, but also a new teammate, and likely require on spot improvisation, though he considered that to be a good thing. And then there was himself and Tatsuya, which of course how he had once fought before, with the combinations and techniques they had worked out, perhaps it would be more unfair as they had spent a year or more training as a duo. But, in the end, Kasai did not care one way or another, and any paring would be interesting to work with.

[Hey guys so this topic has been going on for a wile so I was wondering if any new skills or stats we have gained we should just use? Just cuz ill be kinda hard to look back at what everyone's stats were at the start of this topic. Also put your response in your last post, cant have a repeat of last time lol]

So it seemed none of the other three had any preferences as to a team. Jason thought hard for a moment and decided to put himself with Tatsuya and Kasai with Risako. It was probably the best pairing to test their teamwork and how well each of them adapted to situations. He did feel he would go a little easy however to even out the teams a bit. "Ok then how about Tatsuya and I against the two of you. It should be an interesting match to say the least." he would turn and say to his three friends, eager to get started and really test their abilities. If he got the chance he would like to test his wood clones or his ability to manipulate trees in this little spar of theirs. He had a strange smirk upon his face as he looked at each of his friends in turn. He could feel a sort of excitement growing inside of him like he hadn't felt in some time. A chance to test his abilities and see how far he had come. It was like a burning passion that Jason had never felt before. The desire to prove himself and grow stronger, yet the familiar feeling of friendship and happiness being surrounded by his friends and allies. A shiver went down his spine as he awaited their answers.

[yea lets just use our updated stats and jutsu lol]

Tatsuya smiles at the team places but does wish he could be with Kasai. No matter Tatsuya jumps back to be 10m away from Risako and Kasai and hopefully Jason would do something similar. If Tatsuya had learned one thing from being with Youka was that never let your opponent know what you were planning on doing. So because they could not read each other thoughts Jason and Kasai would have to play off each other. Tatsuya will wait for an attack to be made first by ether Jason or the other two but if all four of them just stand around doing nothing the Tatsuya makes a move.

Tatsuya wanted to start off slow and let the spar build up. So Tatsuya would start off with just a basic charge. Beginning his run Tatsuya gives a small notion to Jason and then focuses in on Kasai and Risako. Kasai was faster then Tatsuya and Risako was close to Tatsuya's speed but that did not mean they could simply dodge Tatsuya. Tatsuya will focus on Risako as she was slower then Kasai and hopefully Jason could tell that Tatsuay was running towards Risako more then Kasai.

Soon to catch her Tatsuya will make it seem that he is about to punch her in the gut with his left fist but with his right arm in a tiny bit of motion Tatsuya will create a 3m long katana from his golden ring. This will only happen when Tatsuya is 2m from Risako and once he is Tatusya will slide his katana between her arm and side so that the rest of his arm can easily thread its self. By which I mean Tatsuya's right arm and katana will curve around Risako's back and his blade will come to a stop right under her neck. Stopping only inches between them Tatsuya will say.

"Now in a real battle if you were to punch me with those free arms of yours then you would certainly be dead."

Because this was only a spar Tatsuya would not even consider drawing blood so really Risako could have the upper hand if she stays calm and does not try to dodge his attack but then again being in such close range with Risako the shadow manipulation jutsus could have an advantage as well.

If Risako turns her back to Tatsuay before he gets there then Tatsuay will have an easier time with getting his katana around her body.
