Young NInja That Carry The Will of Fire

Mako had sensed another figure walking into his battlegrounds, it would seem to him that the two boys were shaken after their last excursion with the clones, being too afraid to attack them. The Mako clones continued to sit back and wait until the boys attacked them not wanting to force the fight to far.  With their movement they naturally dodged the shuriken that was thrown at them. Mako concentrated on his own training running through the Shadow Clone hand signs pretending to copy the Shuriken and multiply it's number in the thousands.  In his mind it wouldn't be hard to do so just taking a little time.

Mako waited to see where the boys went next vs the clones.

Kaneki looked up and exhaled before pulling off his jacket. Katsu wanted to do a simple fake out that would do little more than annoy the superior ninja. Kaneki exhaled before tapping Katsu on his shoulder. "We need a better plan than.....whatever the hell you're planning." The younger ninja were at a huge disadvantage but he did not know what they could do. Kaneki looked to Katsu before crosing his arms. "We should spread out....try to get them away from each other. Make them leave their comfort zone."

As it was the two ninja posed less than a threat, but if the chuunin's clones thought they were truly up to something it might put them on their guard enough to give the group time to make a decent plan. Kaneki exhaled once more before his gaze turned to Katsu. "I have three fire style jutsu, but I need an opportunity to actually use them....give me an opening."

Lukas was still a good enough distance away from the party of 3. Upon looking once more, he noticed that they had been performing some sort of exercise. It probably was a sparring match between the two different people and the two clones. Lukas did not see Mako there at first so he had just assumed that one of the clones was the original person. He felt a sense of satisfaction knowing that he had just learned his clan's technique: Wood Clone technique. 

After Lukas parted away to his own area, he noticed when Katsu had spoken in his direction. Lukas looked over his shoulder to see if he was talking to anybody else. Then he looked back at Katsu and put his finger on his chest. He was confused.

"Me?"

"Yes, we need you to execute this plan with us. All of us should be able to gang up on one shadow clone, but we know the man won't just stand there and let the clone get beat so, we must psyche him out by running for the one on the left, but at the last moment pouncing on the man on the right. Once person will go immediately for his arms to detain him for at least a moment and the other two will get the bells from his waist. Sound good?" Katsu asked as he looked the new comer in the eye. He then looked at Kaneki and nodded his head to signal that we start the plan with the hopes that it would not fail and with that Katsu took off hoping his comrades were behind him going directly for the man on the left then as he got close enough to the man which was approximately .5 meters he cut directly to the right heading for the other man's bells.

The Clones continued to stand shoulder to shoulder watching the two boys, who had apparently found a friend. That was fine with them the more the merrier he figured.  The watched on as the boys continued to plan and plot.  Mako figured he'd have to give them a little shove to get their plan in action.  Both clones would then let out a loud and purposely overage rated yawn and would pretend to be nodding off.  He supposed he needed to give them some time in combat to form up for some teamwork but in a real fight with a missing nin they may not have this kind of time.  If they continued to talk and not attack Mako clone B would break off and move closer to them and launch a great fireball full force on their location, just to get the fight started.  

Mako could not deny he was enjoying himself though.

Kaneki exhaled when the boy finally stopped talking and had prepared to attack. Kaneki rushed forward, following behind the boy. He watched the boy cut but he had grown tired of this fight. "I'll do this myself." Whenever he lost sight of his objective and let his temper get in the way Kaneki had a tendency to do rash things. One such thing was assault the second of Mako's clones alone. He felt as if the boy was only holding him down, he could do it himself, just like always. 

After separating himself from Katsu Kaneki stopped short at the second of Mako's clones. Instantly he began to weave hand seals. Horse. Tiger. "Fire style: Great Fireball Jutsu." As he clamped his fingers in front of his lip a large fireball shot from his lips, the fireball flew at a speed of 20 and was almost two meters in diameter. After sending the fireball Kaneki watched, hoping it would destroy the clone.

Lukas was not necessarily fond of the fact that a stranger was asking for his help. He honestly did not feel as if someone would blatantly ask a stranger for help on a training exercise. It was clear that the two ninja he saw were trying to out maneuver the clones but honestly, that had nothing to do with him. Lukas scoffed as Katsu clarified his target in conversation. So he actually was speaking to Lukas.. Cool. He did not pay Katsu any mind.

After ignoring the request from the unknown ninja, Lukas stopped looking at the party of people. He was here to fulfill his own desires and not here to make friends. That was certain. With that, the young Senju had walked up to one of the trees in his immediate vicinity. Upon reaching it, he then stretched his right arm out towards the tree. This whole Mokuton thing had been rather new to him but he was sure that he was getting the hang of it. If only his father had not lived a short life, more things would become more clear.

While reaching out towards the tree, Lukas rested his palm on it. After so, he tucked his head down and closed his eyes. The boy was clearly meditating on the composition of the tree. The wood felt rough and yet oddly satisfying as it was being felt upon. Trees started to become a fascination to himself not much after teaching himself his first Senju Clan technique. He had hoped more things would open up possibilities in his future.

For about a minute, Lukas had his hand on the side of the large tree. After the allotted time, he raised his head up and clenched his fist together with that same hand. The wood seemed to form into the palm of the young Senju in the shape of a ball. The hand was balling together into a fist but was unable to close entirely with the tree bark being absorbed off of the tree. 

Little time after and he removed his arm from the tree and looked at the same palm. What he was looking at was the tree bark in a spherical shape about the same size as a tennis ball. Lukas released it from his hand as he threw it up into the air slightly. Upon catching it, he would rapidly repeat the process about nine more times. After finished, he extended his arm back to the tree and focused more. The ball of tree bark then was absorbed by the tree in place of the wood he had just removed. Now the empty space was gone and had been filled with the wood from his palm. Upon removing his hand, the tree looked as if it had made a recovery. It was the same as it had been before he arrived. No cosmetic changes were visible. Lukas smirked.

"Damn, didn't seem like he wanted to join, oh well, The Akari needs no help." Akatsu said looking behind him to see Kaneki doing his own thing. Akatsu was a little disappointed that the plan didn't go well and backed away from trying to get the bells altogether. He then backed 5 meters away and weaved the signs for the transformation technique looking at his hands making sure he weaved the correct signs for the jutsu. "Got it!" Akatsu said transforming into a bear and running after the clone that Kaneki had tried to hit with the fireball jutsu in order to have some sort of makeshift team work. By the time Akaktsu would get there the fireball would have hit it's target if it hadn't been interrupted, Akatsu would be approximately 2 meters from the target of the fireball using it as a diversion.

Mako loved fireballs and was quite impressed Kaneki could pull it off.  Hmmm these kids were quite impressive.  The Mako clones darted off in opposite directions just as Kaneki launched the fireball letting the large mass of fire serve as a line of sight blocker to their next locations.  

Mako clone A darted off to the right and Mako clone B darting of to the left.  Their movements swift to the eyes of the boys.  The fireball crashing into the woods no harm done to either clone.  Kaneki used a very powerful jutsu but his chakra was still too low to maximize it's potential.

Mako clone B would stop his 100 speed HoHo movement about 5 meters from where Lukas had went to.  Having watched Lukas ignore Katsu's plea for help.  "Ignoring a fellow Konoha ninja in the heat of battle, it seeks someone needs a refresher on the will of fire." Clone B would say just before launching a shuriKen at speed of 120 aimed to miss Lukas but to fly just near his face.  Provided Lukas didn't move it would not hit him.

Clone A however would burst from the brush to the right of both Katsu and kaneki also moving at 100 speed he would come forward and grab Katsu by the back of his shirt, and halt holding him out away from him.  He would take a drag of his cigarette.  Mako stood 6 and a half feet tall which made his arm reach and easy 3 and a half feet preventing katsu from reaching his belt where the bell hung.  Katsu was dangling from the clones hand between kaneki's location and Makos's.  He would test Kaneki's will of fire. How bad did the boy want to win.
