The Blonde haired woman walked aggressively through the various paths of the mountains. After a bit of a hike, she came upon a clearing that seemed to be used as a training grounds of sorts. Her face contorted at the idea of challenging and killing some Kumogakure shinobi that had the unfortunate luck of training that day. A sadistic smile crept across her face as she imagine the fight that would happen. She would make sure it happened. She was dressed in her Aoi Bara mask and cloak, which hid most of her body. The only other features that could be seen was her wild yellow hair pulled back into a ponytail. Her sword sat upon her shoulder, gleaming against the sunlight. Her deep purple eyes darted around to look for her victim, but she found no one in her sight. "Damn, I guess I'll have to wait then." She scoffed moving over to a rock. She took a seat, setting her sword in her lap. She really did hate waiting. Having to do so would only make her more violent when someone did appear.

Only a few minutes passed before she heard noises coming from the path up to the training area. She looked to see a Kumogakure ninja standing there looking at her. This was perfect, as the guy didn't look weak. She would stand up, holding her sword with her right hand as she walked over to him. "I've been waiting for someone to kill. Looks like it's your lucky day." She said with a rather insane smile. Even though she had only waited a few minutes, it seemed like ages to her. She really was an impatient person. She would slide into an offensive stance, holding the tip of the sword towards him. "If you impress me, I might take off my mask and cloak. It's better that you see the face of your enemy before death." She spoke with extreme pride. Her eyes were locked onto him with wild intentions as she would await his answer. It wouldn't matter what he said though, she would attack regardless. Oh the joys of not giving a damn.

Her eyes got a little wider when the man spoke. Did he seriously think he could talk to her and get away with it? "What a terrible ninja. This is the uniform of the Aoi Bara. You know, the group of Missing Ninja? Ever heard of Tame? Probably not. You probably didn't even know that one of the members of our group came from your village. How far has Kumogakure fallen?" She would provoke him with these words as he thought up her first method of attack. She could probably just hack at him with her sword, but that wasn't the best idea. Her face would light up as she thought of the perfect jutsu to start off the party. Her free hand would move in front of her body with the index finger pointing at the mysterious man. "Kumogakure won't mind if I go ahead and kill you." A ball of ranton chakra would quickly build at the end of her finger. Moments later, it shot towards the ninja at a pretty fast speed. If he didn't turn around and acknowledge her, he would be in some pain.

The only downside to that choice was that the jutsu made a loud noise when shot. If he was fast enough, it could give him a clue as to her attack, but that didn't matter. She would kill him regardless of what he did.

Chakra 235/250:

Bokuden would stop in his tracks as the masked woman mouthed off to him, her words piquing his interest. Aoi Bara? A missing nin group? Tame? A member of the group originating from Kumogakure? Despite his previous disinterest in this person, it appeared she possessed some knowledge worth acquiring. It appeared as though she was looking for a fight. Perhaps it was time he gave her what she sought after. Wrapping his left hand around the sheathe of his katana, just below the guard, Bokuden would use his thumb to click open his weapon. At the very least this would give him the opportunity to test the limits of Suikko-tenno.

As the sword began to feed on his chakra Bokuden could feel its influence resonating in the air around him. At the same time however, he felt a small accumulation of raiton chakra forming behind him, at the same location as the masked woman. “So impatient,” he said coldly as he turned to face his assailant, “Now you’re just being rude.” In response to the attack he figured was coming his way, Bokuden created an invisible “pond surface” in his opponent’s line of site in order to manipulate the way in which she perceived the angle of light refracting through the water, making her see him in a different location than he actually was. Knowing she could not attack what she could not aim at he would approach her at full speed, appearing almost as a blink. The incorporeal image of him that she saw however would appear on the opposite side of her. Hidden by the veil of his optical illusion Bokuden would then perform a diagonal slash across her chest, aiming to produce a wound shallow enough to be debilitating, but not immediately lethal.

Chakra: 340/350 (sword)

Her words seemed to work as the man turned around. He would speak with an insulting tone that made her snarl under her breath. This man was almost as arrogant as he was, which only fueled the flames of battle that were growing. He would seemingly dodge the bullet easily and be at her in a remarkably fast time. How was she supposed to react to someone she could barely see? Without being able to do anything, a diagonal cut was made through her chest. She lost her breathe as it exited her body, causing her arm to immediately go the wound. Even in the midst of pain, she recognized something. The position he was in and the way he swung did not match the cut on her stomach. Was she seeing things or was he using Genjutsu? She wasn't sure, but it could attribute to how he moved so fast. Her body would tense up in preparation for the counter-attack. He still had to be in pretty close range, so she released the jutsu. A wave of Ranton chakra rushed from all directions of her body.

If the man was still close, he would be hit and she would know where he actually was. If he dodged, then she would be unlucky. However, she wasn't going to loose so easily. He had hit her on the first try, which meant she owed him two strikes. She was going to get her hits in regardless, or so she thought.

Chakra 220/250:

Hoshi's attack was met by a raiton barrier, causing her to grin. This man was pretty good, much better than her from the looks of it. That didn't matter though. Even if she was going to die, she would do so fighting. He would deactivate his barrier and point his sword at Hoshi. It seemed the taunts she threw earlier were what caused him to change his mind. She scoffed at his tone, he really pissed her off. She would grab her mask and toss it to the side. A similar move removed her cloak. She would reveal her face and Kumogakure headband with a strike through it's symbol. "Games? I am simply trying to kill you. There isn't anything more to it than that." She said as her breathe sounded slightly labored. The gash on her chest wasn't a fatal one, but it was painful none the less.

"My name is Hoshi Yamamoto, I'm a former shinobi of Kumogakure. That's all I'll tell you for now. If you want more out of me, you will have to impress me with something besides the simple visual trick you used. Let me remind you, I have a lot more information than I've given, so be careful in how you deal with this." She would slide back into an offensive stance as she prepared herself for another round. She didn't care about Tsuyo or the Aoi Bara, they knew that when she joined. She would use this information to get the best fight possible. She would channel chakra into the ground around her, activating her next jutsu. Four Pillars of Stone would rise around where he stood, unless he manage to dodge it. The pillars would activate, sending ropes of raiton to block off all exits. Unless he someone knew about the jutsu beforehand, he would be trapped. How would he would handle this?
