There Dunki sat, looking at the swamps and water filled training ground of Kirigakure, everywhere in this place was wet and soggy and damp, it was kind of annoying times for clothes were sometime an issue when they were always getting damp and wet, but it was good for any jutus he used because he need not always make more water.

He stood up and started putting his stolen armor on, he had gotten it from a leaf ninja that he had killed, though no one seemed to know of this ninja and it seemed that no one cared about her, which was a good thing in the end since he would probably have gotten in a shit load of trouble for it, he had already tried to defect from the village, and they hadnt taken to that very well, he was just lucky that they didnt chop his head off for it. He strapped the chest plates leather straps onto his shoulders, he then strapped the side straps on also tightening them to fit his waist, the girl was a different size then him and thus he had to sew on new straps to fit his contours, and the metal plate itself fit just fine. He then clipped his helmet on and fit it on his head as comfortably as he could, though it was more of a metal mask then a helmet, it successfully covered his face blocking any who knew him from knowing who he was. He then buckled his Lonsword onto his hip and his bastard sword from Reitou on his back, he then picked up his Fuma shuriken and buckled it on top of his sword, which he also took from the drunk leaf ninja, for a drunk she had a lot of things that he could steal. He then walked over to the practice dummy over by the lake and started some practice swings at it with his long sword chopping the straw man to pieces with his sword using his moves to make the straw man to nothing, he pretty much thought that he was good with Bukijutsu though at the moment there was no one to train his taijutsu on...if only there were another person to train with, it would make all the difference, training with people who could actually be beat was much funner then practicing on these silly dummies...
Wc~400

Kurama sighed he stepped out of his house, making sure not to hit the door with the sword that was on his hip and noticed the cloud cover. Another wet one today I guess. he thought to himself annoyed. The rain was too cool on Kurama's overly warm skin, it sent chills down his spine and not the good kind either. Strangely there werent many people on the way to the training ground today. The marshy terrain smelled slightly of hydrogen sulfide due to the plant matter decomposing around them. Kurama made his way up the hill to where the training dummies and the training area was located. A slight breeze ruffled his red hair and his long black cloak that covered his body.  The training are wasn't all that it was cracked up to be, it was outdated. Kurama had a special place that he trained and compared to the training ground that everyone else knew about, his was a mansion and theirs a dirt hut. The training ground was a 200m diameter circle that had straw training dummies on the west side and projectile targets on the east. The circle was ringed by large trees. The whole area was still damp and marshy from a recent rain, and puddles of water were dotted along the ground.

Kurama walked into the large open field, and noticed someone hacking away at the straw dummies. The person appeared to be blue. Blue?Blue!?is there even such a thing as a blue person!?he screamed to himself inside of his head. Curious at the thought of a blue person, Kurama walked to about 50m away from the blue figure, unable to tell any facial features or height due to the distance that was between them. He stayed at a distance because he was still unsure whether the man was friend or foe. Kurama would yell "You almost done? I kinda want to use those dummies.", his voice slightly annoyed. Why had he decided to come to this training ground in the first place?

Word Count : 344

He Swung one last time at the soggy straw dummy, and let his torso slide off its stick, just as a guy started talking a good bit behind him, "You almost done? I kinda want to use those dummies.", he turned around and slid his mask up to the top of his head and smiled with his spiked toothy smile, he then started to talk, Oh...did you mean this one, sorry it kind of has a bad case of chopped up, but if you are looking for something to swing at, im here and im a little bit hard to hit then a straw dummy, of course only if your up to it Firehead He smiled wide at the teen, for he held no ill will to him and just wanted some good old fashioned training, though they seemed like polar opposites he was blue and water like, and this kid seemed...firey and slightly rude.

Dunki turned around to his hopeful partner, whilst spinning his sword back into its scabbard and looked at the kids sword, it was a Katana though he couldnt see the blade for it was not out of its sheath, but that meant he used Kenjutsu, he loved to compare his swordsmanship agaisnt the common Kenjutsu that most people around here used. He then finished his sentence, So you up to it Firehead, how would you like to fight a real shark haha he said lightly as he placed his mask back on and started the man right in the eyes, waiting for him to make the first move, he would turn aggressive after he learned his opponents style, but then something Clicked, Hey...arent you Kurama, i think i saw you at the Academy years ago, Long time no see its Dunki by the way He couldnt remember what this guy did even though he remembered that they went to the academy together many many years ago, he would show his past comrade that he was a force to be reckoned with...

"Oh...did you mean this one, sorry it kind of has a bad case of chopped up, but if you are looking for something to swing at, im here and im a little bit hard to hit then a straw dummy, of course only if your up to it Firehead" the strange blue man said. The word firehead kept ringing in Kurama's ears. He was being teased again, after all of the years he had thought that being teased was behind him. Whats worse, the man smiled after the comment. The man turned toward Kurama and flashily placed his sword back into its scabbard. Kurama would scoff inwardly at the cry for attention that the man was giving. This sharklike man clearly didnt know about Kurama's temper, insulting him like that. Kurama clenched his fists, trying to fight back the urge to beat this man within an inch of his life, or atleast try to.

Hey...arent you Kurama, i think i saw you at the Academy years ago, Long time no see its Dunki by the way. Dunki? Was there a Dunki? Kurama couldn't remember. But the fact that Dunki had insulted Kurama and then brought the academy up meant that there was a high chance that he was involved with teasing Kurama. Kurama's bubble of anger finally snapped. Black smoke would start to billow from Kurama's pores, as he stared at Dunki. Kurama would be gathering chakra in his throat, building it for a split second. "Dont....make...fun...of...me!!!!" Kurama would scream at Dunki, his eyes crazy with anger. As Kurama screamed the word "me" visible sparks were jumping from his mouth. Kurama would then charge the 50m distance between him and Dunki trying to see if he would react, if Dunki did not react then he would attempt to draw his sword and slash at Dunki's chest with his blade

"Dont....make...fun...of...me!!!!" Firehead yelled as he rushed dunki, this was just as it was back in the academy when he used to bully the kid, he laughed at the sight of sparks and fire from his pores he was a hoot, as he ran the long ditance between them he yelled out, Just like you always were eh? Hothead haha, come on were both Chuunin, lets see who advanced more since those...fun Academy days he laughed again as the gap neared and neared, he then remembered the quote from his ancient ancestor that he read in the book of his clan,
             The weak are Meat, the Strong Eat
The same quote he had used when he had taken out that leaf ninja, he loved the book of his clans quotes, espcelly that one, he had proven that it was true and he would again. The next thing he knew there was a blade flashing at his chest, though his stolen plate took the blow with some grace, the blade clanged on his chest as the sword came down, and as it deflected off of his chest, he quickly drew his sword and tossed it into the air with practiced grace as he went to headbutt the kid with his metal mask and at the same time catching the mid air blade to slice at the kids right shoulder, hoping to cut a little mark on his torso to show that he is better, and right after he sliced, whether it hit or not, he made a quick flick with his other hand up to his back throwing the bastard sword out of its sheath and into the air, then with his other hand he sliced again at the teen this time aiming for his sword arm whilst catching the other blade and spinning out of his graceful start, he then jumped back a few feet to await the response, weighing the two different types of blades in his hands to adjust himself to their differences...

OOC: You cant say that you "Headbutt Kurama" thats godmodding, im just going to take it as you "attempting" to headbutt Kurama.


Kurama's sword bounced off to the left side of Dunki's chest plate a good 3 inches. Kurama tightened the grip on his sword to reduce the recoil from the deflected blow, making it so that he didn't lose his balance. Dunki came in for a headbutt and at the same time he threw his longsword into the air. Kurama saw the headbutt coming, he would accelerate off of his right leg, and pivot himself around Dunki with his left leg, manuevering himself to Dunki's right side. Kurama's whole body would now be facing Dunki's right side, Mid-pivot Kurama would bring his right arm down sharply at a 45 degree angle while making a tiger seal with his left hand preparing to imbue chakra on his blade. Dunki's arm came down quickly and his attempted slash at Kurama's chest missed barely due to Kurama's maneuvering.   I...Can Kurama thought to himself as his heart pounded away. Kurama's sword would be traveling straight for Dunki's right knee, attempting to cut right above, hopefully rendering that leg useless. If Dunki managed to dodge this, Kurama had a little surprise for Dunki but if not, Dunki's right leg could possibly be dissabled. Dunki's other arm flicked his other sword, a larger one out of its scabbard and slashed at Kurama's sword arm, once again it missed barely, cutting Kurama's cloak. Kurama sighed a sigh of relief internally and readied for Dunki to react....or not.... Kurama's stance readied him for fight or flight.

OOC~ i didnt mean i ht it, it just sounded right, you can go ahead and dodge it as if i had attempted, i wasnt meaning for it to come across as godmodding

The little rascal was much better then he was in the academy by far, his skill with the sword was equal to dunkis, but he would no be able to match him in ferocity and pure animal instinct, the kid was slicing at his knee now and was trying to main him, this wasnt going to happen. With his right hand holding his longsword he swung the blade around and parried the katana of the firehead that was flying at his leg, and at the same time he swung himself around to face the kid, swing his large bastard sword at the right shoulder hoping to hit him this time.Directly after the strike whether it hit or miss Dunki would jump back 5m to get some separation between the two, he stuck his bastard sword in the ground as he threw his longsword horizontally at the kid sending the blade spinning at Fired head akin to a big shuriken flying threw the air.

Whilst the Blade whizzed threw the air Dunki raised his left hand high in the air in the shape of half of the tiger hand sign, and doing the same with his other hand but placing it lower of his torso, causing a massive cloud of chakra infused mist, making it nigh impossible to see even a foot in front of him, this would definitely piss the kid off. He then made more hand signs at extremely high speeds, Tiger, Ox,  Dragon, Hare, Dog, Bird, Rat, Clone seal, Dragon, Ram the from around his hands a giant shark formed around his body and with the forward movement of his hands the giant shark launched forward with its teeth barred going a massive speed of 80 miles per hour at the spot where the kid was just standing, and even if he moved, the shark he fired was massive and hopefully would collide with the Red headed bastard.
Chakra 185/220

Jutsu Used:

The sound of metal on metal shook Kurama's body straight to the core. It was a bell, a bell to ring all of the ones before it. The bell, signaling the awakening. The key, to end all keys. The muscles in Kurama's right arm tensed as his blade collided with Dunki's longsword. Swiftly, Dunki swung around swinging his large bastard sword horizontally at Kurama. Kurama tensed the muscles in his legs, still maintaining the half tiger seal in his left hand. Kurama would launch himself in a horizontal flat spin between Dunki's two swords. The world spun before Kurama's smoldering orange eyes. The large bastard sword whizzed just inches over Kurama's head. He watched as a few strands of his hair were severed from his head and floated past his eyes almost in slow motion. Kurama would smile at his opponent very devilshly as he concentrates the Katon chakra onto his blade. Duki was now jumping away from Kurama, most likely to put some distance between them. 1m, 2m away from Kurama now. Kurama would kick his right leg and arch his back, breaking the high velocity spin that he was in, slashing toward Dunki's current position with his katana, then landing on the ground. A bright 2m wide orange crackling arc of fire would whiz toward Dunki at a rate of 16mps. Kurama's eyes began to burn with an intensity hotter than any fire could burn. He had not felt like this since the first mission that had actually challenged him. He enjoyed this, odly enough.  Not wanting to waste any time, as soon as Kurama landeded on the ground Kurama would bring his sword together with his half tiger seal, making a modified tiger seal and breathe deeply. Kurama breathed in the swampy damp air of the training grounds. Kurama would then exhale a huge fireball the size of a bus which would hurtle towards Dunki at 30mph. Given Dunki's current position it would reach him in a matter of seconds. Kurama would then rush at Dunki his sword at his side.

OOC~sorry for the wait i thought i posted, i guess my Comp just somehow didnt post

Dunki kept his stance, even as the large fire arc flew towards him, he was confident that the jutsu wasnt going to kill him, for he really knew that the one he was fighting was weak, though just a second after the arc slammed into his chest a thick mist quickly formed around them, the flame sent him a good meter back though he it didnt knock him over it just slid him back, across his pecs there was a big mild burn, it stung, though he would be able to continue fighting with it, it made his blue skin an odd purple color, due to a burn being pink on his blue skin it was a bit humorous looking, though now his opponant was making the handsigns for another jutsu, that he only could have guessed was fire, due to throughout the academy he showed an affinity to fire, Dunki had a trick to show him with fire style...
Dunki whizzed through handsigns as the fireball emerged from the kids mouth, just as he lauched a giant water shark from his palms, right at this point there was no vison, though the moment before the vision went away, he saw where the fireball was coming from, the two jutsu met, his Shark devouring the ball of fire, (Due to my jutsu being B+1 and yours being C and that Fire takes -1 to water) and the Shark kept going, he wondered if the boy would be able to dodged without sight, he was in a dangerous spot, if that shark hit him, it would break bones with ease due to his clans affinity with all suiton jutsus, this fight would probably be over if that jutsu hit him head on, though if he managed to dodged it somewhat he would be better off, Dunki hoped he actually did dodged it since he wanted to try out a new jutsu that he was making,it was a lot like his appearance...sharky
OOC~since you negated my jutsu usage that post, i just assumed that i actually used them this post, if you have issue just bring it up :)
Chakra 185/220
*jutsu used, Hidden Mist adn Water Shark Bullled

Are you posting soon, if not ill just post a final one and leave the thread

The faint smell of cooked fish wafted throughout the training grounds. The dazzling ball of flames flew through the air, Kurama trailing it. It hungered for things to devour. The fireball roared towards the blue man who had already suffered a third degree burn, Kurama's flames wanted to taste more of his fishy flesh. Kurama's breathing was calm, taking in the needed oxygen to fuel his flaming hatred toward Dunki. The air thickened, and was if the air itself was tangible. Kurama could not see the fireball anymore, all he could see was a faint orange light ahead of him. The light vanished and he could hear the faint sound of steam, then water. Lots and lots of water. It sounded as if the ocean itself had been sent to destroy Kurama. I don't think this is going to end well He thought to himself as the large shark came into view.

Kurama had never been in a situation such as this before. Even through all of his missions he never was truly challenged. Although he hated to admit it, Dunki was a more than worthy opponent. Worthy of being a rival even. If Kurama would ever be able to look past the fact that Dunki was one of the people who had teased him when he was younger, they might even be able to be friends. However that possiblity was so far from possible that it wasn't even worth an after thought. Kurama was okay when they picked on him, well, not okay, but he was getting used to it. He had grown to think that he deserved it because he was so different from everyone else, that it was for the best. However as soon as they decided to go for his sister it was different. That day, when they had pushed her, something inside Kurama snapped. Causing him to nearly beat the kid to death, he would have too if he hadn't been pulled off of him. That kind of rage hadn't taken Kurama over since that day. Until today.

It was moving at such a speed that it would be impossible to dodge completely. Kurama tensed his muscles and willed his legs to take him as far away as possible. Kurama Jetesoned himself to the right of the large shark's path. He was out of the shark's direct path  but not out of the frying pan yet. The large shark hit his left shoulder, breaking it as he lept away. Kurana clenched his teeth to avoid making a sound. His left arm lay limp at his side. He jumped again, landing in some bushes that were 15m away from where he was originally which was around the center of the large circle that was the training grounds Kurama willed his body to split in two. The large shark crashed into something loudly, probably a tree. Kurama didn't care what the thing had crashed into, all he cared about was that it created a diversion for him. His arm throbbed. Kurama had to ignore the pain for now as he focused his chakra around himself. Shaping him, contorting him into a snake which was the same exact color as his surroundings.Im sssso clever Kurama hissed to himself in his mind. Kurama would try and watch intently what was going on from his hideout although visibilty being severely reduced due to the mist, while his other self rushed toward the origin of the water shark, his sword in his right hand trailing slightly behind him. This is the moment for justice. For retribution. For Yui He thought to himself as he strained to watch himself charge blindly at his opponent and possible tormentor. Kurama didnt know what would happen if he got Dunki into a corner. Would he Kill him? Would Dunki take it upon himself to apologize in acknowledgement of Kurama's strength? All of these things raced through Kurama's mind a mile a minute.

It had connected somewhat, for dunki heard the smack of w ater on flesh, it was a nice sound, though he still heard the running of Kurama, how had he taken on a shark bullet and was still running foward, though whether it mattered was trivial, he could hear him, since he did this jutsu many a time he adjusted to using his sense of hearing...and his sense of smell, though he didnt move out of the way as the kid came at him, instead he sat making handsigns and once Kurama was around 2m from him he lammed his hands on the ground, causing it to shake a little, and then...erupt.

Sudennly a bunch of water tubes started coming out of the ground shooting tons of 5 inch thick tubes of water out of the ground all around him moving out wards using him as an epicenter, should one of these fast tubes hit the kid, for at the moment he was running at him at ready to strike, if even one of these hit him though they would tear up to five inches into Kurama and even go as far as causing intrernal bleeding and if Dunki was lucky a major concussion if the tube explosion got him in the skull.

The large tubular explosion expanded outwards in a 10m radius around him, at intense speed and the tubes went very high up, he wondered how Kurama would get out this...

165/220

Jutsu:

Faster, faster and then faster still. Kurama's shadow self willed his legs to carry him faster and faster towards his opponent. Dunki was clearly a non-rothodox fighter whereas Kurama was very straight forward in a "Im going to roast you alive" kind of way. Kurama wanted to test the limits of how well Dunki was able to adapt to changing battle situations. Kurama strained to watch as his shadow self charged the 6m distance between him and the large blue chuunin. As his shadow self charged his orange eyes burned with a rage that was hot enough even to melt the coldest of ice. His sword was trailing behind him slightly in his right hand. When the clone was about 4m away he would Inhale deeply and then exhale while running. A colorless noxious gas would cover a 10m circle covering both Dunki and the clone.

Although Kurama couldnt exactly know what was going due to the dense mist that Dunki and him had been fighting in earlier. Hmmm. This is... unfortunate, at this rate I won't be able to exact my revenge. Kurama thought to himself. After all those years of learning how to live with the pain and torment he had experienced as a child he had thought that those days were finally behind him. He was not going to allow this very fortunate opportunity to slip by. He would have his revenge one way or another. Because now that he knew that his tormentors still exist and they still have not learned the errors of their ways, they needed to be taught a lesson.

Now the clone was two meters away from dunki. Little had the clone known that Dunki had prepared a trap for him. He was rushing blindly into the enemy, his head so full of blind rage. His anger was one of Kurama's strong suits the more angry he got, the hotter he burned. He had burned his clothes off once when he was younger, it was one of the most embarrasing days of his life.

The clone took deep breaths, the noxius gas filling his lungs with every breath The ground shook beneath the feet of the clone began to shake slightly. Causing his guard to go up even further than it already was. His eyes shot down quickly as a tube of water shot up towards him from the ground. It was aimed for his face. The clone swerved and spun to his right, narrowly avoiding getting hit. The tubes of water appeared as though it could pack a serious punch if it connected. Out of the coner of his eye he could see another one jetesening itself towards him. He was now 1m away from Dunki and could see him relatively clearly. He jumped forward laying horizontally in the air. A tube of water shot up beneath him and burried itself in his chest. He smiled at Dunki devilishly and said "Boom." and then exploded into a 1m square meter of fire. Kurama heard the explosion and smiled, wincing slightly from the pain that was radiating from his shoulder. The smaller explosion was followed by a much larger explosion, a result of the gas igniting. Anything within the explosion would recieve second degree burns, and the first explosion would cause second degree burns as well.

Kurama smiled a snakey smile before slithering from the bush into the forrest. I hope that he gets hit with that. It's just a taste of what is to come. He...will... burn...they all will. He thought darkly to himself. Once he was a good 5m away from the bush and into the marshy forest, he broke his transformation. Kurama looked back at the training grounds briefly and then forward again. He was unsure of the outcome of his attacks, but what he was sure of was the next time they met, Dunki would not be walking away from it. Kurama then dissapeared in a puff of smoke, back to Kirigakure to get his shoulder set.
