People are strange, when you're a stranger

Yazu smiled while he moved inward toward Chelsea, because he could see chelsea's indeciveness play out in his actions and it would mean that Chelsea would be taken in.  With the distance they were away, which wasnt much, calculating how quickly Chelsea would be able to reach in and retrieve the weapons Yazu would reach Chelsea just as he started the hand signs and though Chelsea could complete the hand signs before the punch landed, the fresh young Genin would be incapable of transferring locations with the clones, though Chelsea's plan was slightly better than Yazu's very simple run and punch beginning attack, he lacked the speed and awareness in battle to pull it off.

Chelsea finished the hand signs as the clones appeared just as the punch connected with the real one due to Chelsea's inability to just change location on a whim.  The punch would do very little in the way of actually ending the combat due to Chelsea's resilience and Yazu's low strength though it would leave a nasty stinging sensation.  We're Yazu's physical composition similar to a normal person's it might have hurt Yazu to deliver the punch, as Chelsea's face was rather hard, though seeing as his bloodline consisted of no actual bones it wouldn't hurt his knuckles.

Yazu's punch would likely turn Chelsea's head slightly and Yazu would take this opportunity to strike Chelsea with an open palm, he aimed for his chest and tried to connect the flat of his palm to Chelsea's chest with a speed of 30. Though he expected a block Yazu's true intent was to just touch the boy.  If he succeeded in touching the young man Yazu would successfully use the Mark Seal on him.  So that whenever Yazu escaped his holding cell he could easily track the boy down and play with him some more.

As Yazu made contact with Chelsea's cheek he endured the pain but was sent backwards onto the ground from the punch. He grew angry with how he underestimated Yazu and could allow such a simple action to occur. To his surprise he didn't realize how fast his opponent truly was until the punch he had landed on Chelsea. Wondering in such a short amount of time, Chelsea had an idea. He would use the clones that he had momentarily made to his advantage

Without hesitating Chelsea looked at his clones as they disappeared and quickly took out two shurikens out of his pouch and set aside an explosive tag on the ground very close to him. He threw the shurikens at Yazu one at a time, (20+5= 25/2= 12.5+40= 52.5) aiming for his torso and his left leg. 

If all else failed he had a back up plan and held on to a smoke bomb on the other side of him, but close enough to quickly react. But, witnessing Yazu's speed and having underestimated him Chelsea grabbed the bomb and without any second thoughts threw it in front of him temporarily blind Yazu's vision of him.

In the moment Chelsea had believed he was fine, but was paranoid his opponent would strike once again without any warning, so he used this window of opportunity and scurried away to the closest tree to him. He didn't look back as he began to climb the tree and jump in advancement from its branches. "Hopefully I'm safe up here" Chelsea thought to himself. He once again took a kunai and one explosive tag from his pouch and stuck it lightly in the tree beside him in case he needed to quickly act on Yazu's action.

Growing a smile of hatred and enjoyment on Chelsea's face he had wondered how far Yazu could push him. He knew being he wasn't a big shot jounin, but he thought he was the strongest in his rank of field. 
Chelsea stood still carefully scanning his surroundings and listened very carefully for his enemy's next move. He curiously wondered what Yazu was going to pull next.

Yazu would smile contentedly, as his punch had connected though it would be somewhat more effective than he had originally anticipated unless, the boy, faked the fall to make a clean getaway.  Yazu would wonder why the kid would run though, Chelsea was obviously more resilient and powerful than Yazu, Yazu's only powerful quality was his exceptional speed and high chakra stores, though at the moment he had nothing to channel it in.  Thus why he was training.  He was here to master his murderous intent, to channel the look of pure murder and intimidate the opponent into being incapable of moving from where they were.  That and Yazu wanted a friend, someone who would pose an adequate challenge for him whenever he found an opportunity to escape the Mizukage's clutches. 


YAzu would scan the battle area noticing the dropped tag as Chelsea skittered off toward a tree to climb and maybe hide from him,  this confused Yazu greatly.  Yazu was not incapable of climbing trees in fact he quite excelled at it, nor was he blind and unable to see where Chelsea went, his perceptions were amazing.  The shurikens flew at him at a  speed though he would have to dedicate some energy to dodging them as they didn't lack propulsion.  Yazu took a quick side step the opposite direction of the tag putting about 2 meters of distance between him and it while also deftly dodging the flying shuriken.  He still saw Chelsea waiting in the tree but instead of chasing him he backed slightly further away from the tag and decided to talk.

"Come now, I never would've taken you for a frightened animal, hiding in a tree.  I could sense more ferocity in you than this Chelsea.  I am not here to kill you, what would be the fun in that, I am here to learn and grow, so please come down and fight like Lions not like mice,"  Yazu's taunt was pre planned knowing how to strike the boy directly in his pride.  He could see that Chelsea despised the weakness in himself and Yazu intended to use that to his advantage,  Yazu had no intentions of harming his new play thing, not now and maybe ever.  He wanted to fight, and to learn the jutsu that he had crafted in his mind and to put them into use in a battlefield situation.  The running and hiding was not something he was ever fond of.

Yazu would wait for Chelsea to come down and meet him, if CHelsea didn't and threw a surprise attack Yazu was prepared for that also, anything that could make this small encounter more fun.  He would keep a steady eye on the tree and the tag nearby just in case something was brewing in Chelsea's Mind.

"Yeahh yeah yeah" Chelsea said as he gathered his weapons beside him and jumped down from the tree and stabbed them into the ground and picked up the weapon he left behind before leaving the scene. "So, whats your plan now, hmm? Palm strike me?" He laughed aloud as he slowly arose from kneeling after the jump." Well, you have my attention, what do you want now Yazu" 

Chelsea wondered how much longer Yazu was planning on stalling and making him look like a fool. "I swear to god Yazu, if you keep treating me like I'm some kind of toy I WILL slaughter you where you stand." He was never the one to be toyed with, and everyone in the village knew this. For such a young age and being a Genin, Chelsea was still the most brutal in his class regardless what others had said about him.

Placing his left hand under his eye and slightly pulling downwards on his skin he showed a rather twisted and wicked smile as he stared into the eyes of his opponent. "Come now Yazu, you shouldn't keep your friend waiting" , he said as he placed and stretched his left leg infant of his body and bending it to show he was ready to sprint at Yazu with all his might he had left in him. 

Even thought he was getting to the point in where he intended on ripping his eye out, he decided to play around with his pray for awhile longer. He might not be the strongest out of the two, but he wasn't about to go down like this. Ohh, no, he had much to pride within him to let this battle become a lose after all he's overcame.

"So, friend", he spoke as he pulled at two kunai's; one in each hand and one explosive tag in which he placed in his mouth so the blade was facing to the right of him. "Am I going to make the next move, or-.. Oh screw it I'm done waiting around for this battle to end." He shouted throwing his weapons in the ground in a row, but leaving them loose enough to easily take out of the ground.

Chelsea stood and balanced himself on one of the kunai's with one leg and closed his eyes as he breathed in and out calmly, mocking Yazu. He had an ace up his sleeve at the moment and no matter what his opponent tried on Chelsea it wouldn't work with what he had in store for his friend. "What are you waiting for Yazu? If you think you can end this battle than do so." He said smiley with his eyes closed, but still aware of his surroundings and ready to strike when needed.

Waiting for the next move to be made Chelsea prepared to use every ounce of what he had in him left in order to end the battle once and for all no matter what it, even if it meant pushing his body far beyond its limit. He wasn't about to give up this easily, he isn't a quitter and never lets others get the best of him. In this time Chelsea had taken out the remaining three shurikens he had left and inserted his first three fingers in the holes of each weapon to obtain a better hold of them, as well as taking out a kunai and placing it in his left hand. 

Twirling the kunai and prepared to throw the remaining of the weapons in his hands and those on the ground, he was truly prepared for anything Yazu could possibly throw at him and awaited the next movement once more.

Yazu commended the boy, for Chelsea did indeed have guts. However Yazu wasn't simple enough to believe one could survive on guts alone.  For Yazu you couldn't simply will yourself to victory, some individuals were simply more powerful than others and some had more powerful techniques, and Yazu was a prodigal genius.  He was born into a bloodline that would allow him access to all five elements affording him a level of technique learning that would be unbridled.  Though the cost would be his humanity.  He felt this was a fair trade, some men were born to be predators and some prey.  Now he would gauge Chelsea's fortitude to become either. 

Yazu watched as the boy came down from his perch in the tree and held the Kunai and shuriken out preparing to fight him.  Though Yazu had had enough playing around at this point he needed to end this battle.  Well not necessarily end the battle, just do as he had set out to do.  Yazu stood with his legs knee length apart his Kimono dangling about his waist.  His lightly muscled body still filled with the thread stitching, YAzu would proceed to hold his right hand out in front of him and released the thread stitching halfway up his forearm.  He would then hold his arm back and in an instant he reared back and launched his hand directly toward Chelsea.  The black gray threads of his bloodline giding his hand and connecting it to his body.  The hand moved at a speed of 30 toward Chelsea and with only about 10 meters between them the hand would not have far to travel.  The hand flew toward Chelsea's stomach with the mark seal still made in it.  Yazu prepared for the dodge and would ready depending on the actions that Chelsea would take.  All Yazu had to do was connect with Chelsea.

With no effort left to fight, Chelsea had given up all will to continue on with this fight. In attempt to finish everything he took out both of this explosive tags in his hands and extends his arms out straight in front of him. Bringing both arms and making his body in a 'T formation he threw one of the tags at a speed of 52 while quickly bringing out a kunai and shrunken, doing the same thing with the two. 

With his last explosive tag he aims for Yazu's feet at a speed of 52 as well in all hopes of hitting his foot in order of achieving leverage.

Yazu would proceed to cinch the battle and finish it.  As Chelsea did nothing to dodge Yazu's flying hand that came careening at the genin.  Yazu could kill Chelsea now in he wanted.  Though for some strange reason, felt no need to.  Chelsea had insulted him and shown weakness in front of the assassin, both things that Yazu had killed for previously, but for some reason he could not bring himself to deliver a killing blow.  

Chelsea would throw the tag at Yazu's feet just before his hand connected with Chelsea's throat.  Yazu could easily dodge but not before the tag would explode and possibly do some damage.  With his other hand Yazu reach down activate chakra anesthetics on his left leg.  Then would move to the left as the tag landed but hadn't exploded.  He put about two meters distance between himself and the tag.  If it did go off it wouldn't cause serious injury and Yazu would be able to shrug off the injury as it were.

Yazu's hand now clasped itself around Chelsea's throat and this would be the finishing blow.  Yazu's hand took a sandstone type texture and turned black. To chelsea it would feel like a stone statue was choking the life out of him.  With the Earth Spear active his strength and health was greatly enhanced preventing Chelsea's escape.  As the squeezing continued Yazu would close the gap between them walking forward, a wicked smile on his face.  His arm seemingly absorbing the black thread tentacles that attached the hand around chelsea's throat to Yazu's body.  Yazu would continue choking Chelsea until the boy lost consciousness, though he never felt the need to keep going.  Chelsea's will and determination inspired Yazu to some degree and Yazu longed to see where this potential "friendship" might lead them.  

After Chelsea fell unconcious from Yazu's attack, being that there was little chelsea could do to prevent it at this point, Yazu would inscribe the mark seal directly in the center of Chelsea's back.  He would then put his Kimono back on and kneel beside him.  He thought of his life and how it might be nice having someone to trust, someone to help him grow.  He did not know if this boy would be that person but it wouldn't hurt to try.

He lifted Chelsea over his shoulder and carried him off toward the hospital where Chelsea could tend to his wounds and protect his eyes.
