Seeing the Sands [P. Samuru/Invite.]

Immediately he took notice of the clones on either side of him that were beside the fireball he'd just sealed up in Runesave. Realizing what it was that the boy was doing he took rather quick action. His sword underwent yet another change and this time it was turned into the wind sword that Echo Uchiha put great work into having been a master of wind. Mel Force, he sliced the blade left and then right channeling the wind chakra to send out a wind blade at each clone in an attempt to keep distance and possibly outright slice them in half and take care of the extra distractions.

As he turned his attention to Samuru he took notice of the boy's weapon, a shuriken cutting through the air. Instinctive reaction made him thrust the sword upward at the boy, a powerful stream of wind blasting up at the boy and going right on the shuriken's speed, either slowing it down enough for Haru to move 10 meters back, or it would send the shuriken back at the boy along with the wind itself hitting the boy if he were still at the spot in the air somehow.

The mans speed is almost like a reflection of the 5th Hokage's, The fireball is cut through then the man instantly changes the form of the blade to one that gives the boy a sense of calm, everything seeming to fade away for the boy, a soft tune appearing from the winds.

This causes hesitation as he feels the chakra of his uncle, his own actions take place as he leaps upwards, only to look down and see his uncles form slice down his clones with miraculous speed, the explosion not going off due to the reaction to Echo's chakra.  The voice of his uncle now within his mind.  'No more hesitation.'

He sees his uncle below him and thrust his blade towards the Shuriken, He will not falter. Puffs of smoke appear around the hear as one thousand shuriken now fill the sky, the Fuinjutsu upon them glow as flames coat them and make a miniature flame thrower coming out the side of each shuriken almost mirroring a phoenix flower jutsu with the shuriken hiding within the flames.  The Fuuton stream hits the shuriken only to feed the flames which devour the Fuuton and fuel the raging inferno coming down towards his uncle.  The boy remains standing on the air looking downwards, his eyes piercing through his own jutsu and allowing him to see his target still clear as day.

Things were getting more and more interesting, Haru wasn't sure just how much further the boy could go but so far he was clearly years ahead of the curve for his age being able to compete at a level most kids would never even dream of being competing at. If Konoha wanted to have the top competitor in the Jounin Exams then Samuru was probably the best option, though he'd make sure that the boy was truly up to the task.

Making the horse handseal followed by the seal of confrontation with his off hand and bringing it up towards his mouth as the thousand flaming shuriken started to rain down from the sky. Unleashing a massive and power stream of fire from his mouth towards the spiraling flames he focused on pushing back and melting the shuriken to keep from being hit while everything outside of the range of his fiery blast was left to hit the surrounding ground. He'd been forced into using a high level fire jutsu and that was something which impressed him even further.

The roaring, whirling inferno shoots forward towards the man, the boys unique eyes see the hand seals being preformed, the unique ones however cause Echo's image to fade, replacing it with that of Haru once more. The man releases a raging inferno surpassing that of the boys, his talent with ninjutsu and swordsmanship is one that amazes the boy, but he will not hesitate, he cannot afford to, for a shinobi, hesitation is death. Twenty meters is the collision point between the flames, the boy prior to this leans forward, diving off the air and towards his own flame, using gravity to build his momentum once more, the boy following ten meters behind his own flames. The impact of the flames occur, the shuriken within the 20 meter cone in front of the man stopped in their tracks, either to fall to the ground, or be melted if this fire stream is to be maintained. The outer shuriken are his in however, flying past and into the ground just as the boy is about to impact the oncoming flames he preforms the seal of confrontation his firm vanishing in smoke only to appear at a shuriken roughly twenty meters behind Haru, his form twisting prior to the teleport so he lands on his right foot, using it to kick off at top speed towards the man to approach from behind, all the shuriken vanishing it a puff of smoke which fills the surrounding area leaving them in a smoke ring arena. The boy goes for a gentle fist strike on the mans back attempting to at least get a hit in.

The battle was approaching its apex, the two of them despite the age and experience difference were making this more serious, Haru couldn't believe that such a young boy even with the people he trained with could manage to have this much power to him. The age showed in terms of experience, even if Haru could sense that Samuru wasn't even halfway through his chakra reserves it didn't mean the boy had the upper hand. A swift turnaround just as Samuru closed in on him, Decaforce switching to its Explosion form and acting as a shield against the boy's strike. The dullness of the blade would not cut into the boy's hand but rather when contact is made there would be an explosion which would knock Haru back some and create distance between the two. He would test Samuru in this moment, lunging forward towards Samuru to close the gap and slash the blade sideways towards Samuru's right side wondering how the boy would counter.

The boy sees the form of the blade change once more, this peeks his curiosity, he hopes to reach his goal in time and get his strike in, his fingers come forth only for the man with the flat end of the blade to block the boys hand, the explosion coming forth faster than the boy can react as his fingers are folded inwards on themselves, twisted and contorted as his wrist breaks nearly all the way through. The boy cries out but doesn't stop, tears build in his eyes as his right side is flung backwards as he activates the seal of confrontation with his left hand, the second reverse summoning seal he placed now going off as the smoke appears once more and the boy appears with a spin infront of his opponet to attempt a strong fist style punch into the mans stomach, tears seen in his eyes from the pain as his right arm hangs at his side.

Perhaps in the future when the boy was older they'd have another spar and be on equal footing, but that time was not now. Tinges of guilt hit Haru as Samuru hit the blade, he could tell that the damage caused was at least broken fingers but it was hard to tell it the explosion had broken the entire arm, the fight was over, or at least Haru expected that to the be the end but Samuru clearly had other ideas having teleported in front of Haru attempting to strike.

The fist impacted Haru's gut, the force was impressive and knocked Haru off his feet a couple inches off the ground and then landing with a skid a foot back. Haru could have continued but the concern at the moment was on Samuru's right arm and the boy had clearly proven he was quite the shinobi already and with time and hard work the boy would be one of the greats. "Well little boss, I think we should get your arm looked at. Good job though, that's the right attitude." Haru was ready to take Samuru to the hospital, already thinking about how bad it would look having broken a child's arm, hopefully the Kazekage wouldn't take offense.

For a split second it is felt, the malice, the pure rage of the Nine-Tails, the boys arm jerks a bit and with a snap it springs to life, reddened from healing as he clinches his fist, his teeth gritting more from the pain and the small tinge of it's power starting to seek through despite his fathers sealing. As the man skids back Samuru is on the assault once more, kicking off the ground he dashes forward, his right arm drawn back and ready to strike once more, the boy not aware of the battles potential ending. It is only when he sees the mans lips begin to move that he skids to a stop one foot from him, his breathing heavy as he wipes his eyes, the boy hit with a massive amount of fatigue after the seal slipped. "Thank you sir." He says with a soft smile, looking towards his arm however he's confused, it moves like normal, what happened. "I..I think my arm is good now though, for some reason.." His right arm extends for the seal of reconciliation as the boys breathing begins to stabilize, his eyes spiraling back to normal.

In order to be great you must fight through pain and try regardless of the situation, that was a trait Haru felt confident that Samuru had. The boy initially seemed to have possibly broken his arm and while outmatched still wanted to continue attacking after getting a shot in. Had Haru not decided to bring an end to the fight it was clear Samuru would continue trying; however, there was something strange about the boy's arm that once seemed badly injured. The arm had healed and just before the boy had tried to continue attacking, Haru swore he felt the presence of the kyuubi if only for a split second, which would explain the healing.

It wasn't the time to ask questions about the situation, for now he'd leave it be. Extending his own right arm out to match the boy's seal of reconciliation with his own. "Huh, guess it wasn't that bad of an injury after all. You're a tough one little boss. I think its safe to say you're ready to take a shot at the Jounin Exams." the boy was definitely ready to compete in the exams as far as Haru could tell.

The boy beams when he hears the man say he is ready, he is young and has a lot to learn, but perhaps he can do this, make his own grand memory of completing the Jounin exams. "Thank you so much sir!" The boy says with a swift bow, the same joyous song he sand when they met prior coming once more as he spins in a small circle. "I'mma be a jounin, I'mma be a jounin!" He stops.
"I have to prepare! When does it start?!" The boy asks frantically, his eyes widening.
