Training Session

It was just another day in the Country Borders with the sun high in the sky signifying the middle of the day, but it would seem on this day Kenji, a past sand ninja, was not alone in the dense forests of the borders. While Kenji was resting on a branch 15 meters above the ground he would take note of the small noise in the distance as a kunai would streak by his face, barely dodged by the attentive ninja, Kenji. Quickly jumping to his feet Kenji spun around and drew his sword in his right hand leaving the other hand open to preform any counterattack necessary to win this battle, the man still refusing to reveal his self from the forest shadows as Kenji stood prepared looking around for any sign of movement with in the leave filled trees. Finally the silence was broken when a shinobi leaped from the southern corner of the 'battlefield' only to be parried by Kenji's sword catching the aggressive slash of this shinobi's kunai, with the two ninja so close it was only then Kenji noticed the emblem which had been slashed, his old home the Land of Wind's jewel, Sunagakure. Pushing back Kenji watched as the shinobi slid backwards a good 3 meters and almost instantly drew a kunai with little to no movements from his sleeve, he charged again no dual wielding the kunai and still managing to parry with Kenji who upon catching the blades with his own sword then used his right foot to place a sideways kick to the ninjas abdomen and push him away, then quickly charge swinging his blade through the mans gut only to watch as he turned to a puff of smoke leaving behind a small section of log. Kenji's reaction was quick turning to narrowly dodging the kunai lead stab towards his throat, the man landing next to Kenji turning placing a punch into his rib with his left hand sending Kenji bouncing across the branch that had become the battle stadium. Kenji slipped from the edge of the branch stabbed his sword into the wood, his body dangling off the branch holding on with his dominant right hand. The shinobi attacker quickly drew a shuriken and flicked it at Kenji who using his left hand to draw out a shuriken nearly instantaneously and throw it in return to match and deflect the on coming weapon, Kenji quickly flung his self up on the branch his sword coming loose from the branch and remaining in his hand ready for battle. The two now standing apart facing one another at a distance of 10 meters observing each others every move, looking for some sort of weakness or fault in their defenses, the men having no reaction as they continued to stare at one another, finally moving at the sound of crackling bark beneath Kenji's feet. Together they charged Kenji holding his sword at the ready position in his right hand and the Shinobi carrying a kunai in his right hand, the two colliding together sending sparks flying as they clashed iron making a cling with impact. After clashing several times they landed apart by about 4 meters and the shinobi tilted his hand allowing a kunai to slip into his left hand once again, this time Kenji returned the action by doing the same. Rotating his wrist slightly to allow the kunai to fall from his designated slot beneath his glove and let him quickly have a weapon in hand. Now with both shinobi holding weapons in their hands,the battle was on as they charged again kunai to kunai and sword to kunai they were caught in a power struggle pushing against each other. The blades sliding against one another spitting sparks, Kenji then lifted his left hand throwing away the enemy kunai and allowing his body to twist and slam a kick into his rib sending the opponent tumbling into the trunk of the tree where he would slam his back into the trunk and his body slide down to a sitting position, dazed by the sheer impact against the strong hull of the tree. Seeing this as a way to gain an upper hand Kenji threw the kunai from his left hand sending it soaring through the air athis opponents left lung, it uninterruptedly crashed through is rib cage and stabbed into his lung causing the shinobis eyes to open and snap from his dazed mentality. With blood dripping from the deep crushing wound into the mans chest, his mouth now open as the blood drips from his lips. The suffering apparent in his eyes as he looked upon Kenji, his emblem beginning to fall along with the headband that had become loose from their battle. Kenji slid his sword back into his scabbard as he looked at the man who gasped for breath only to be answered by the blood that continued to replace his air, Kenji rolled his wrist back letting a kunai drop into his right hand between his middle and index fingers. He reached across his own body exposing the back of his hand to the enemy and preparing to whip his hand and release the kunai with a direct shot to the heart, Kenji smiled as he felt warmth knowing he was about to end the life of yet another weak unworthy member of the Sunagakure he had denounced his self. Kenji then flipped his wrist and allowed the kunai to slip from his fingers and dart into the heart of the suffering shinobi, his eyes opening wide as the life left the body leaving only a husk of a man laying on the tree as Kenji looked at the corpse walking closer from their 5 meter gap. Upon reaching him he plucked the kunai from his body and wiped away the blood on the mans body and returning his weapons to his pouch, then kicking the headband off the tree letting it fall to the ground below. Kenji then turned and fled the forest once again to find a peaceful place to rest and regain his stamina.
