Some fun in the village [open]

Ryugia thought about this. He activated his sharingan, and took in Kuro. His eyes widened. His Chakra flow was staggering. This kid was no amateur. He wasn't even sure if he could take Kuro on with 3 partners. Oh well. He has something Kuro doesn't. The sharingan. Kuro may be stronger, but if Ryugia could use James, and Amaya's skills together with his he may be able to out think him. The weapon is only as strong as the person wielding it. If Ryugia could use his abilities better than Kuro can use his than he will win. He let his sharingan dissipate. he looked over to Amaya and James. "I think we should go up against him. He said quietly. You can't see it, but my Sharingan can. The amount of chakra he has is insane. It far exceeds ours. I'm not sure if even the three of us can beat him, but we sure have a better chance if we work together. You guys can decide, but I think that is what we should do." Ryugia Waited, leaving the choice up to Amaya and James.

Amaya smiled in a cocky manner. She was fine with such a challenge. "He seems tough. I'll go with the 3 v 1 myself."
 She may have to quickly learn some jutsu to attempt to hit him, but in any case, she should be able to at least do some damage, or at least thats what she hoped. She continued to concentrate on buffing up her speed and senses with her flicker movement jutsu, she was assuredly getting the hang of it, she just needed a little more practice in its use. The glow seemed a little brighter around the girl as she concentrated inwardly, and slowed, her breathing, getting into a fighting stance to defend against Kuro. She may not be fast enough, but she could at least put up as much of a fight as she could, and that would be all worth it to her in the end. The strange purple sparks from when she had attempted chidori scittered across her body for a few seconds as she focused on compelling space/time energy to follow her whim. She would have to figure out what that was, as it was quite odd that it kept happening. Lightning jutsu was generally blue or whitish, and hers seemed to be purple, and only appear in times she heavily pulled on her chakra. While she didn't have time to worry about that now, she would definetly have to look into it. She closed her eyes and redied herself, prepared to spar this outsider boy with all she had. With friends to help her, she couldn't do too horribly, now could she?

"Eh, why can't we just learn jutsu. To be honest, I'm tired of just sparring when I first meet someone. I rather make it up to their level of power before I start sparring them. I really have no jutsu besides the basic so I feel like all of you can stomp me flat." James said, quietly, a whisper to himself really. He started to prepare himself for the unavoidable spar that he somehow always ends up with, and sends chakra through Titan's Bane, covering his body completely, face and all. He could feel his strength increase and his endurance increase (+20 strength, +5 stamina). He smiles a sad smile behind his armor as he thinks of how  many spars he's gotten into, and how many have ended up on not so good terms with the person. 
"Okay, truthfully it's only been Salzem out of my previous fights that's ended on bad terms, but one bad term can affect how everythng else goes." James thinks to himself. He looks at Ryugia and Amaya, and says, "Welp, I don't know about you guys, but I have a bone to pick with that fox, thinking it could make a snack out of me. You two handle Kuro, and I'll go deal with the fox. I won't be much help against Kuro anyways, probably be made micemeat out of that fox as well, but by golly, I'm gonna show that fox that it has to earn the right to eat me."
He then turns towards where the fox says and says, "Here, foxy foxy. Come on and be a good fox and fight me."
He then activates the justu that Amaya showed him, and once more can see a glow surround him. He didn't know if it was working, and wasn't going to rely on it yet. He was seeing if it could help him with his fight with the fox. He starts walking towards the fox, pausing five meters away from it just giving it a head tilt, waiting for what comes next.

Kuro grinned as everyone got ready to fight and spread his feet apart slightly. "Aw don't be so down about it James. If I'm strong, it's BECAUSE I've only ever trained against people WAY beyond my power. The only ones I've ever fought with have been Jonin, some bandits, Vixie, and a bear. But enough about me, let's see what Konoha Genin are like! Vixie, Play."  Vixie's tail swished back and forth a few times with excitement as she lowered herself and prepared to attack. The fox then dashed closer and leapt at James, her jaws parting as she aimed to land her front paws on his chest and bite down on his right shoulder. She wasn't moving using her full abilities though, Kuro had said to play after all and going all out at the start would ruin the fun.

Kuro focused on Amaya and Ryugia as he threw up the handseals monkey, rat, tiger, dragon, horse and dragon. "Water Release, Snake's Mouth!" Kuro shouted out the jutsu's name as he used it, wanting to teach them the name of the attack as they saw it. His chest then puffed up and he grinned before opening his mouth as wide as he could, releasing an enormous torrent of water that quickly formed the head of a snake at the end. The jutsu would rush forward at a speed of 20 and would turn towards Ryugia. If the ninja tried to move out of the way of the attack, it would follow after him. Once it had gotten close enough, the jaws would slam closed on Ryugia and wash him 20 meters back before slowly coming to a stop and leaving behind a huge pool of water and a soaked genin.

Ryugia smiled. "So that's how you'll play, a frontal assault. Predictable, but it's an interesting jutsu to be sure." Ryugia stood in place, waiting until the last second when the giant water serpent blocked Kuro's view of him, and Wove a series of hand sign in quick succession. Tiger → Boar → Ox → Dog → Snake. As the Serpent's mouth came down, the substitution was completed. A log took Ryugia's place, keeping the illusion of his appearance. This gave the impression that Ryugia had been hit, allowing Ryugia to take advantage of those precious moments, and find himself in the tree line close to where Amaya still stood. There was a whole forest to the back of him, and he very much wished to push the battle in their where a jutsu like mouth of the serpent wouldn't be as effective, and his more subtle jutsu would be, but he couldn't just leave James, and Amaya. He noticed the trail of water left by the last jutsu. If he could maneuver Kuro into that stream then he could use his lightning style jutsu even more effectively, but how would he get james there. He needed to act fast. He jumped from his cozy branch, and after merely two steppes after touching the ground he was behind Kuro. He went for a solid side kick to Kuro's back. He just needed to get him into the trail of water, whether it was from the kick or from Kuro dodging backwards he didn't care. He looked to Amaya to see what she would do. They needed to coordinate their attacks, that was the only way they would have a chance.

Amaya breathes in slowly. James would fight the fox, while Her and the Uchiha would fight Kuro. The golden aura grew brighter as she felt its effects becoming more attuned to her body. She just had to land a good hit on him, and that would give her a good idea of what he could take in a physical contest. As he used the strange snake mouth jutsu to attack Ryugai, she would be able to see the handsigns that would be blocked from Kuro's sight, and understood he planned to escape.She smiled in a clever way and used the clone jutsu. She ran along the side of his water jutsu, while her clone would be a few feet next to her, but running on the ground as there was no space for the image to run on the water. While she ran on the side of the river like jutsu, the clone would make it appear as if she was running adjacent to it. So when the clone reached the boy, likely just as the jutsu finished, his eye would hopefully be drawn to the clone attacking seemingly from the left, while Amaya aimed for his face with a very real hit, the images stacking behind her making it seem as if she had punched him multiple times in a pretty cool fashion. His strength was an uknown, so should she hit, she had no idea what kind of damage she would cause, if any, but she had to try.

(Reference on what I did. Real Amaya Runs on the snake mouth jutsu, while the image clone runs on the ground, making it seem as if Amaya is running straight at Kuro rather then from the water)

"Oi!" James shouted, as the fox jumped at his right shoulder. He dodges left, and said, "I was only kidding."
He sees as Kuro, who was only five meters from him, launches a giant snake from his mouth. "Well, that's useful."
"Oi, sending your fox after me like that. Trying to get it to eat me, are you now? Well, I'll show you. I won't be be food for your fox," James said shaking a fist at Kuro. He watches for a second as the other two perform their stuff. He paused for a second, and sighed, "Welp, I'll leave you two to it then."
He turns facing the fox that had landed behind him after he dodged, he pointed his thumb back at the three people, and said to the fox, "Welp, they sure seem to be going at it. You wanna grab something to eat, maybe watch them for a bit? No, I didn't think so. We best get on with it then."
James then started to run at the fox, he hurtles over it, and runs towards the tree that he had earlier ran into, he surfaces walks up to a low-laying branch off the ground about ten feet. 
He would wave at the fox, even if it didn't give chase. If it didn't give chase, he would say, "Oi, you comes to the nice glowing man, he have fun with you."
If the fox did give chase he would say, "I be a sly one, no items, well, besides my suit, no fleshy fleshy wounds for me. Hmm, I wonder, can you climb this tree?"
He crouches in the tree branch, waiting to jump higher and climb higher if the fox comes up after him.

Kuro had to admire their tactics. Ryugia and Amaya seemed to be working in tandem as they came at him. He smirked slightly before taking both of the attacks, the kick and the punch, though he easily could have turned into water. There wasn't any real need to though, since his body absorbed the attacks with ease, having trained and toughened himself up enough to handle simple hits from people low on strength. That didn't mean he wasn't going to have some fun though. After all, he hated people aiming for his face, so Amaya needed to be messed with. He leaned his head back from Amaya's punch after it hit and covered his face with his hands. "Ahhh my face! You broke it! Why would you aim for my face!?" Kuro would then step forward towards Amaya and throw up a few handseals to create a water clone from the water behind her,  continueing to throw handseals as he channeled his chakra through the clone, letting it use Water Prison on Amaya from behind, a bubble forming around her at a speed of 35. Kuro would then whistle for Vixie's attention as she was trapped in the orb. "Ankles!"

Vixie's ears would perk as she stared at James then heard her master's call. She would turn towards him and see Ryugia. Hearing Kuro's command, she would rush at Ryugia with Wounding Bite, moving at a speed of 40 and biting as his right ankle with 39 strength. If the bite connected, Ryugia's foot would be rather painfully injured, lowering his ability to move on it to a snail's pace. Kuro would then turn around to face James and Ryugia. "Come on, try out something you've never done before!"

Ryugia cringed as a sharp pain pulsed through his foot. He had been able to divert the attack from hitting his ankle to his foot, now at least he would still have some mobility. The little fox had bitten clean through his shoe and into his flesh. "Damn, gotta act fast." Ryugia quickly wove a series of hand signs. Bird->Snake->Dragon->Horse->Ox. Green electric tendrils of electricity jumped across his palms. The electricity had built up, now for the attack. He struck out his right palm at the fox's center chest, and with his left he struck at Kuro's Achilles tendon. "Lightning style Keiren! (Cramp technique- power 15, target is stunned for 2 posts)" This would cause the muscles in the spots he attacked to cramp and seize up, completely halting mobility. If vital muscles were targeted it could in rare cases be a fatal technique, but Ryugia had made sure to avoid any vital organs with his attack. With that he jumped off his left foot, moving backwards. he quickly launched 2 shuriken from his side holster. It was hard to see, buut they both had thin strands of metal wire attached to them allowing him to control their movement. They were both heading for the water clone holding Amaya hostage. He knew the clone wouldn't be able to move, so Kuro would have to stop it himself, and he either wouldn't be able to move, or when he did stop them, Ryugia would send electricity through the wire and into Kuro.

Amaya looked in almost horror at what she had done. She hadn't met to really hurt him, she really didn't think she hadn't hit that hard.  Her look of concern turned to horror as he created a water clone, much more advanced then her simple images, and it appeared behind her. She found herself wrapped in some sort of inescapable bubble, and she wasn't sure how long she would be able to hold her breath. Her violet eyes looked for something, anything to use to her advantage. She wouldn't be trapped like this, not by him. She was supposed to be the clever one, able to learn a technique at a glance. Just because she didn't have a space time technique to help her out of this position, didn't mean she couldn't learn a lightning technique to do the same. She saw the hand seals Ryugia was doing, and knew that was what she needed to copy. She could see the sparks, but this was going to turn into a guessing game of how it worked. She tried to concentrate her mind, forgetting her lack of breath, forgetting her lack of body heat. She had to focus static in her hand and release it outward in a way to stun the boy, or at least stop him momentarily. She copied Ryugia's hand signs, pushing her palm outwards bluish sparks would explode outwards, with purple bolts appearing chaotically around the lightning. This would travel to the water clone, but it would also stun Amaya as she was immersed in the water. Should the bubble break, she would gasp on the ground, attempting to get up.
