Spoiler:

Sozo was walking down the street wearing his white plane T-shirt along with his black cargo pants. His hair was a mess as he was in somewhat of a hurry. He was given a mission to help spar with a genin form the Sunagkure no Sato. He wondered around the streets Sozo wasn't really in the mood to help spar with a genin. But Mikasa only gave him three weeks to gain his clans transformation jutsu's second stage. It will be three weeks tomorrow so he was running out of time and he still hasn't unlocked the second stage. Hopefully this sparing match will give him the boost he need.


As he wondered around the village Sozo found the place where he was to meet with his partner. It was a old looking dojo. The inside was a clay wall full of weapons ranging form katanas to spears. A boy with dirty red hair and wearing a tan shirt with dark blue shorts. He was using a wooden sword in the middle of circle of sand.  Sozo stepped forward till he was in the circle of sand. The boy with dirty red hair took notice of Sozo. "Better late then never I guess." The boy spoke in a angry tone as he didn't want to train. But he was given this mission hopefully to change that.

Only to have Sozo reply with a sigh "Lets just get this done with. I want to go back home and sleep." The tone was calm in Sozo voice. The boy walked over to the wall to chose a sword. He picked two katanas and walked over towards Sozo. Tossing on in front of Sozo. "I hope you know how to use that. For your sake I mean." He was getting more angry at Sozo for the way Sozo was talking to him. Giving him all the motivation he need to beat the shit out of Sozo.

Sozo let out another sigh this boy like to talk to much. Sozo picked up the sword only for red hair boy try to attack Sozo. But Sozo blocked the downward slash. The sound of clashing steel rang around the dojo. The red hair boy gain a little smirk on his face as Sozo blocked his attack. Sozo jumped back in order to create some distance. Sozo placed his right hand on the bottom of the handle. So he was no longer holding it with one hand. His opponent did the same but his left hand was on bottom. A moment past before the sound getting pushed away from under there feet. They both used a downward slash canceling out each others attack. They were in a battle of strength as their swords were locked.  The battle ended when Sozo kick his opponent in the chest. Breaking the battle and creating a meter gap.

Sozo's opponent was short of breath for a moment. Taking his mind away from the fight Sozo saw that and took advantage as he rushed in. Slashing his sword upward cutting his left thigh and up to his right shoulder. But his opponent was  able to block the attack with his sword but knocking himself over. Sozo would stab the ground where the boy was laying. Only to the boy roll away and throw sand into Sozo's eyes causing minor irritation. Sozo closed his eyes to help ease his pain. He could hear the sound of sand shifting under someones feet. He kept track of the movements. When the boy was three meters away Sozo placed his hand in a trumpet playing looking form. Sending the boy back ten meters and giving him minor bruising in the chest. Sozo took advantage of the moment to rub the sand out of his eyes. He was now able to see he looked down at his right arm. Silver flames danced wildly around his arm as it turned into a claw. Sozo sword and claw ran full speed at the boy trying to get up and gather his wind. Sozo was on top of hte boy when he swung his katana down. Only to have he boy block it and trip Sozo in order to get up. Sozo rolled over backwards to get up from the ground and in the motion he picked sand up from the ground. The boy charged at Sozo thrusting his sword. Only for Sozo to side step it and throw sand in his eyes. The boy jumped back rubbing his eyes to remover the sand. This was a mistake as Sozo rushed forward as the boy jumped back and brought his sword down on to the opponents sword. The opponent dropped his sword leaving his defenseless and sand in his eyes. The boy bowed out of the match so he could clean his eyes out. Sozo's mission was now done he spared with the genin just like the mission told him todo.
