Visiting the Forest (Open)

Salzem lowered himself into a fighting stance at the ANBU’s invitation to attack. Apparently, the ANBU wanted to test Salzems combat abilities before teaching him anything. A reasonable precaution. However, Salzem’s issue of losing control in combat hasn’t been fixed or even contained. It was still a present threat every time he entered combat, even training with friends. Through experience, techniques that require high levels of concentration or complex techniques like A-Ranks and above, often caused him to lose control easier, making him much more violent and relentless than normal. To prevent entering into such a stage around people, Salzem would refrain from using such techniques on his training partners. Instead of opening with one of his strongest moves like Daytime Tiger or Morning Peacock, Salzem instead started with something simple, but effective. He unleashed a series of high and low kicks, a Leaf Whirlwind at the ANBU,, Ending with a back-kick aimed at his head (Speed 95 Strength 81). Should this move be dodged or blocked Salzem would slide down under ANBU in a rising kick known as Leaf Rising Wind to knock him into the air.(Speed 101 Strength 87).

Suddenly before Shinichi could make his way back over to Fenn the rain all fell to the ground because it had become denser so quickly. Probably Fenn's doing but it was no matter for him, he'd be able to stop the rain from falling and would finally learn the water element for sure and would no longer have troubles with it hopefully. He'd put his arms out once again like he had done before and would channel his chakra through the rain making almost all of it come to a stop. This time it was different, the rain was heavier and he needed more chakra to stop all of it from hitting the ground.

He'd then sit down and begin to mold chakra like he had done before but this time he'd do it for longer than he had before and would then rise and stick out his hands and release the chakra attempting to stop the rain once again in which he had failed only half of it had stopped when he needed all of it to stop in its tracks. He'd then begin to mold chakra and continue to mold that chakra while the others trained so that he could actually stop all of the rain this time and hopefully he would.

Fenn Would watch as the man known as Salzem, lowered himself, Fenn stayed Standing straight and still, then once the kid closed in and started his attacks, Fenn Reconized the attack he was using, back stepping the High and low kicks, and then ducking down under the spinning back kick, while the leg was above him, Fenn Decided it was time he taught the kid about timing first, and while the kid was still in the air used the same Technique against him, the low and high kicks aimed to catch him off guard and send him higher into the air, till Fenn ended the combo with a spinning back kick to the back of Salzem that would send him flying into a tree if it all hit, and Salzem didn't stop his attack or from hitting the tree.

If that was successful Fenn would turn around and wait and watch Salzem, ready to counter yet again if needed, If he failed, and Salzem continued with the leaf raising wind, Fenn would just lean back to dodge the kick, meanwhile his own right leg shooting out to kick the kids arm out from under him to make him hit face first into the ground, and yet again Fenn would stand there waiting for the kid to try again, Fenn was testing his resolve right now more then anything.

Meanwhile Fenn would inform Shinichi, without taking his eyes off of Salzem, "Doing a good job now make the Rain do more then then just stop, do as you please with the rain" and then he would address Kuro, not taking his eyes off of Salzem still, telling him " well as long as I get it back in the same condition I gave it to you that's fine, and yes please don't hurt anyone or anything with that, Would hate to have to punish you for that" Fenn would finish up, His eyes watching Salzem, and his body ready for Salzem to attack again.

Salzem's eyes widened as his attack missed and was assaulted with the very technique he started off with. Just in time, Salzem managed to dodge or block each of the incoming blows, except for the last one, a spinning back kick as well. It struck him hard, sending him flying towards a tree. Cursing, he managed to right himself and land feet-first on the trunk, making him land in a somewhat crouched position on the tree trunk. In an instant, Salzem let his chakra run through him, causing a bluish aura to form around him, amplifying his strength and speed further. Salzem then leaped off the tree at a speed of 115 and a strength of 100, raising his arm up to smash into The ANBU's neck in a Clothes-Line fashion. If his Lariate were to Fail, Salzem would jump away, frustration apparent. He honestly doubted that this man was even trying. Considering how composed this ANBU was right now and considering the fact he is carrying on an active conversation with Shinichi over there, It made Salzem feel as if the ANBU felt he wasn't worth his full attention or even respect for that matter. This was probably just a childish reaction, but he felt it none the less. Most likely, Salzem was just being childish in that assessment as this was not a real fight and something akin to training but the fact that this man wasn't taking him seriously was an insult, and Salzem didn't take kindly to insults.

When heard Fenn tell him that he could do anything that he wanted with the rain he would let all of the rain fall and acknowledge Kuro who had come over to him and offered him help. Shinichi would then reply, "I'm alright for now, I still need to learn the water element at the moment. I should be done soon and when I am I'll happily accept your offer."


He'd then stick his hands back out upon saying that and begin to manipulate the rain instead of causing it to stop. He'd start by making a wave of rain hit a tree and then he'd make a fine blade out of the rain and would make it cut through a branch. Although it was a small and frail branch so it would have been no big accomplishment. He'd then stop manipulating the rain and sit down under a tree that stopped the rain from falling upon him. He didn't want to get soaked anymore so he'd just sit idly and watch the others train for the time being hopefully it wouldn't be a big issue that he was taking a short break. If it was he'd just keep training until he ran out of energy.

Fenn would notice Salzem's Bounding off the tree, and with his arm extended too, Fenn would nod as he knew this technique as well, and Suddenly a large aura grew around Fenn, His skin going red, his hair standing up and his eyes going white, and the Lariat just lands across his neck but does nothing, but the moment Salzem made contact and still being in the air from his push from the tree, flying parallel with the ground, Fenn would suddenly Uppercut the Jaw of Salzem, Jeet Kun Do Increasing his speed at which this was done, and the moment the flat of his palm, touched the Jaw of Salzem, Sending Salzem backwards towards Kuro.

Then As Salzem flipped backwards from the contact, Not enough to kill, but enough to let Salzem know the true strength Fenn held, then taking off at speeds mostly unfathomnable (145 speed atm), he rushed over to Kuro, taking his Kunai away while it was in a solid form and tapping his back, marking him as well as he grabbed Salzem in the other hand safely and he too would receive a Mark seal at the same time Kuro did.

Then He would take off towards the boarders, sensing some strong Chakra signature's that way, so he was going to check it out and see if they could be of any help to him at all with his goals, to see if they could help him become even more powerful.

Vixie took a few steps back, her ear twitching as she tried to keep up with Fenn's movements. Kuro smiled and nodded to Shinichi as his hand slowly stopped hurting. "All right, one Jutsu learning session for you whenever you need it." Kuro then felt something tap his back then pull away so quickly he didn't bother turning around. He had a feeling it wasn't important right now. He watched Salzem stumble past him and waved at him before glancing towards the missing Fenn. "Well, looks like Fenn ran off."

Salzem couldn't believe that ANBU took his Lariate straight on! Not only that, but was completely unfazed by the attack! To top that wonderful ball of goodness, The ANBU seemed to turn red and his hair, white.

"What in the name of the Hokage..." Was all Salzem was able to mutter to himself before The ANBU struck him in the chin with some kind of Rising Palm Strike. He was sent backwards, end-over-end, completely unable to stop or even right himself. As he flew back, the man seemed to  tap him on the back. Salzem flew past Kuro, slamming hard into a tree, causing a sickening crack and the tree fell off to the side from where Salzem had struck it.

"Unh..... Crap!" Salzem growled, trying to get to his feet as fast as his battered body would allow (which is to say not very fast) before noticing the strange man had disappeared. He knew from the moment that man struck him, he wasn't even trying. That blow, probably the equivalent of fist-bumping someone's shoulder. Salzem got to his feet with shaky legs before heading back towards home in a very obvious limp, not noticing the mark the man had put upon him
