Seeking a TP

Yuri felt belittled when the boy called out to her to use his tools. The voice did not come from the direction of the smoke but somewhere that felt to be further off. Nevertheless, she is running to get the shurikens that she needs so that she could at least do something. She is now aware that there is another combatant hiding, maybe waiting for his chances in the bushes within the grounds of the monument. On her way to getting the weapons, she got hit at her gut again by the boy and fell down onto the ground. Damn! She cursed as her hands prevents her upper body to touch the ground with the renewed pain at her gut. There is nothing much she can do unless she uses the shurikens which she has yet to get a hold of but the boy is just beside her. She would disregard the boy and run straight for the weapons but not before she uses her right leg sweeping to her right to try unbalancing the boy before she is on both her feet again.

The whole things was observe by the real Yusuke from some distance, when the girl got up and then tries to get up she uses her right leg to sweep the clone of Yusuke and succeed in doing as the clone was down on the ground and as soon as the girl stood right up the real Yusuke gave the signal for the clone to activate the trap without the girl seeing.

The first trap that was activated was a log tying to a nearby tree as it was send directly towards the girl but this type of trap would not be hard to dodge as it was purposely plan and use at a location which was not too near to the girl. While the clone was still on the ground he would naturally not need to dodge the log since he was out of the way but there was still two traps plan near that area with the real Yusuke plan to set them off one by one if the girl was in position.

Yuri only made 2 steps into running before seeing a log coming to her to block her progression. Her next step onto the ground forces to jump but doing that will only give her more time on air. This prompts her to perform a timed somersault forward so that she can continue her way to the shurikens as soon as possible. The boy is just behind her lying down from her previous move, restricting her the room to get pass the incoming log. As a result she have to make 2 steps forward to avoid getting hit. However, upon making the first step, she changed her mind. She thought of the boy's action of all a sudden. Him being so fast should give him ample time to dodge the rock but he did not even bother to dodge her attack. This was when she decided to imitate the boy but instead of just lying down, she would timed her roll with her body parallel to the ground. This is much easier compared to a somersault as she simply needs less than 2 revolutions and it requires less strength form her body. Her upper body go for the ground immediately when the log is close enough after her time for thoughts. Yuri simply roll on the ground as she could feel the wind caused by the passing log above her. It didn't take long to move pass her as she gets onto her feet almost immediately since the roll did not required her to fold her limps. She continues her run to the fallen shurikens.

The clone of Yusuke was release by Yusuke himself and what he did was reveal himself to the girl from a distance seeing as the girl was running to the shuriken he throws three shurikens directing at the girl towards the direction she was running but slighty infront of the girl so by the time the shuriken reaches the point it would hit the girl this would either force the girl to stop running there or get hit by the shuriken.

Yusuke would then thinks to himself. "she isnt that bad to be honest but as a ninja i am sure she has more to show me" not knowing much Yusuke would want to train his taijutsu so this has turn from a prank into a training session for him as so far all the ninja he has face are all stronger then him so he would expect this girl to be strong too.

Yuri is going to reach the shuriken on the ground soon after a short run. Nothing is keeping her away from it this time. She could finally see herself having a feel of weapons again. However, at this moment 3 shurikens hit her beyond her reaction with all 3 at her back. This slowed her down as a new form of pain took over her senses for a moment. If it was thrown by someone on par with her skills, she might not be hurt as hard as she is but the boy is above her league in such a way that just landing shurikens on her had much more effect than than it seems. Thankfully the none of them got her spine, but it has immediate impact on her combat capabilities and the force of impact threw her off balance. Yuri got the shurikens at the ground with a price. The first touch of the shuriken send her down to the memory lane.

The polished surface and textures of its sides leading down the the cutting edges gave her the impression that she used to make better use of them at some point of her life. It could be used to hit way bigger things that is relatively big compared to the shuriken's current size. The blood flowing out from her back cut her memory from working halfway and it occurred to her that she needs to take them out. The topmost shuirken on her back had already nerf movements of her right arm as she drops the shuriken held and takes out the shuriken at her back with some pain. She continued with the other 2 shuriken that hit the lower part of her back, coughing out blood from her mouth in the process. Both her hands are now hold a shuriken each while leaving the other 3 on the ground. She knows that she cant last long in this fight now. Her next few attack might be her last. She turns around and look for the boy, he was much further than he was a few seconds ago. She prepares herself as she tightens her grip on the shuriken and it seems hard for her to do that. It was as though the shuriken had turned slippery by itself. She have no time to look at her hands now as she needs a plan in mind, even though any plan now has a slim chance of working.

Yusuke sees that the kid got hurt but the wound was not deep most lightly not more the a few cm as he did not throw it with his strength plus there was quite a distance between them not enough to kill someone with that. Like Yusuke had intended he leaps out and landed about five meters in from of the girl would be good if he stops fooling around but deep down there is a feeling that the girl was strong no just some weak ninja she might be hiding something or some power she had no use it against him but oout of curiousity Yusuke wanted to find out perharps its just a gut feelingbut still it could be something new.

Yuri was focusing on the boy from a distance until he was just in front of her as though there was live magnification done to her vision. Though she knew that the boy moves way faster than her, the instant that he appears much larger to her still strikes some fear into her mind as she tries to control her emotion. At the same time, she still have some trouble holding the shuriken properly. She could not understand why as it is one of the firsts things taught to a learning ninja. But everything changed when she take a glance down at her hands. The shuriken got a bit dusty on where her fingers are holding it. These dust were not kind that looked like the shuriken was kept for a long period of time. The color does not even match those of normal dust, it is purple in color. Taking a closer look, she found that her fingers were actually the source of these purple dust. But that's not the only change that she saw.

She looked at the shurikens on the ground and looked back at those at her possession. She wonders if her eyes are playing tricks on her, the ones she have now seems to be 2-3 cm larger than those on the ground. Taking the fact that the ones on the ground are further away from her vision, those shuriken still seems to be a bit too... small. It is not possible for her height to change in a moment as Yuri is in a bit of a lost of her current state now. Nevertheless, she threw one of the bigger shuriken straight at the boy. What is happening to her right now got her thinking.

Yusuke saw those dust and thought it must be something not to breath in or some sort of dust that will blind him. Of course that was just what Yusuke thinks and it could do something else, Yusuke made a clone and lets the clone engage the girl and sees what is was going to happen as the clone and the real Yusuke dodges the big shuriken

Yuri could not focus on the battle since the dust at hand is giving her some form of recollection on how those dust can be used. Hazy but surely, she could now feel that faint feeling of being able to wield them but is quickly losing it at the same time as well. She looks at the boy and think hard, is this something caused by the boy's action or it is her body reacting to her instinct in a different manner now. She had no clues to the existence of her lineage. She can't deal with the boy without her fullest attention right now. Ignoring the boy, she clapped her hands and focus. The emitted dust could hardly be visible. Knowing the outcome of the practice and yet awaken her innate ability is already good enough as she puts up both her hands, summing up her training as she needs some rest now.

Yusuke thought that it is enough for the day and that since there were some problem on his part and the girl was also hurt it was time to stop everything thinking to himself "hmm maybe i went too far but it was a good training i guess we would have to train the next time for now i think i will just carry on and just move around in the village for some sight seeing maybe there are much more things to di then to fool around and i guess there would be much powerful opponent in the village but right now it is rather quiet maybe i too shall take a rest somewhere to rest up before i do something but before that i should go get something to eat".
