Suutei frisked his hair as he yawned taking his time through the rugged pass.  It was a little early for his liking, not necessarily being the morning type.  It was better than staying couped in Sunagakure, constantly getting sand in his hair.  The attire he wore in Sunagakure was tattered and unpleasant to the sight now.  Chopper his loyal companion, felt he would need more suitable clothing for the new village. Especially if he expected an audience with the Tsuchikage.  It was no challenge at all for Chopper to stitch him together a new attire, but at the price of Suutei being half-naked in the middle of the road a couple hours before.

The new attire Suutei wore was rather fitting, and Chopper took the initiative of shaping up Suutei's hair.  The Chunnin's new attire consisted of a short, light brown jacket with a sewn in patch of the Leaf village insignia on both shoulders, on the front left pocket and on the center of the back, a light-colored shirt, a dark brown sash around the waist covering the hips, white pants, and dark brown knee-high leather boots.  Suutei believed it to be a bit uppity, but was quickly silenced when his hair was attacked and styled in an undercut.

"Chopper do I have to wear these monkey clothes the entire time in Iwa?"

"Yes!  What kind of question is that!?  I worked hard on that outfit, and you're going to learn to appreciate my work.  Besides I think you look nice, the jacket really suits you."

Suutei let out a huff as the two travelers were cleared through the village gate.  Now permitted to enjoy his time within the Village he wasn't sure what exactly he wanted to do, but it would be wise to handle his top priority.  Meeting the Tsuchikage.  Easier said than done at this moment with no business in Iwagakure for him to tend to, nor mischief to stop or cause.  Opting to go and meet with the Tsuchikage seemed more logical, and was the main reason he came to the village in the first place.  The only problem would be getting permitted to enter the Office of the Tsuchikage.  He'd heard rumors of late that the current Kage was a War mind.  A stalwart strategist in the art of war, and a brilliant Taijutsu user.  Suutei believed he hit the jackpot for a mentor, someone to go toe to toe with.

Of course his hopes would get the best of him.  Stopped by the ANBU agents guarding the entrance to the main building of the office, and making his plea to meet with the Tsuchikage.  Only to be informed that the Tsuchikage had no time for worms like him, and Suutei decided to take matters into his own hands.  If I can't go through the front door...I'll take the roof...  Suutei began to channel his chakra, but to his surprise he could barely manifest it within him.

Something or Someone was suppressing his chakra.  Suutei called it quits on getting inside, and decided to wander the streets in search of excitement

[528]

Sekuro sat on the roof of the Iwa hospital, he was leaned against one of the posts out looking the village. It was a relatively cool morning, the perfect temperature to relax and enjoy a cigar while looking out onto the village. He saw children running and playing, and he saw many shoppers begin to fill the bazaar from the hospital, and from his perch on the rooftop he felt he could see everything happening in the village.
Sekuro took another puff of his cigar, today was kind of his day off and he took his days off more seriously than he would take most of his days on the job. He was in a t-shirt with the clan symbol and some older pants that had been worn over time. His sandals were also kinda worn but they were comfortable and perfect for a day like today. As Sekuro was looking out over the village he notice a stranger, he was in very nice clothing and had the insignia of the leaf village on his clothes as well. He thought to himself, there is nothing going on in the village so why is there a visitor here, and why is there a visitor who felt the need to dress so nicely just walking down the street?
Sekuro sat there as he and his odd companion passed by the hospital he was sitting upon, they were also looking around, almost like they were scouting the village out, or they had no idea where they were going. Either way, Sekuro felt the need to confront the strange duo, to either expel them should they be looking to cause trouble or to welcome them if they are merely visiting. It was a risk and it could lose Sekuro his head but he couldn't just leave them to be around here.
Sekuro took another puff of his cigar, What a waste, he said as he put his cigar out, hopefully this stranger is friendly and would like to enjoy one as well. He hopped down from his rooftop and landed behind the ninja calling out to him and his companion from behind, Hey! Who are you, and where are you going?
The question sounded way better in Sekuro's head and much less threatening, he tried to stand firm, but it was for not, besides who could be commanding and also in a t shirt and some old jeans. Sekuro sighed, Nevermind, you can call me Sekuro, I saw you from my perch on top of that roof there and wanted to come and see you and your very peculiar friend here. I'm no ANBU here to watch your every movements, I'm a lowly genin here in Iwa, just looking for something to keep me entertained for today. Sekuro started to slump and relax, he almost didnt even care if the man charged him, he was in the middle of his own village and safer here than probably anywhere else.

Suutei and Chopper were greeted warmly by citizens, and the shopkeepers in the bazaar as they passed through.  This village was very much unalike to the Hidden Leaf Village., and it was quite strange almost as if they were too kind.  Though Suutei never questioned kind acts he could not help but wonder.  "Suutei I hear there is a University here in the Village.  I believe it is Diamond Heights University, and it's open to the public.  We should check it out."

Chopper wanted Suutei to enroll, but in actuality it was a dream of his to attend school.  Though it wasn’t possible for animals to attend school Suutei was his only way.  Knowing Suutei he wouldn’t want anything to do with school, especially since he just recently graduated from the Preparatory School.  Chopper still had hope that his friend was empathetic with his request of investigating the University.

”Aw Chopper do we have to you know I hate school.  I didn’t come here for more school.  I came in search of a Sensei.”

Suutei noticed the facial expressions Chopper made and adjusted his tone.  Chopper always had good intentions and Suutei owed him a lot for everything he did for him.  Why couldn’t he just grant this minor request because what could honestly happen after all.  In fact the University could be another place to search for a Sensei, and Chopper could attend classes alongside him.  As Suutei mulled over the offer he presented himself he sensed a change in the environment.  Not significant enough to endanger anyone, but just enough to catch his attention.

Suutei turned and saw a weird looking male wearing t-shirt with some sort of clan symbol and some overly worn pants and the sandals he wore appeared the same.  This guy was kind of bummish to look at, and honestly he wasn’t much to look at in Suutei’s opinion.  A question arose in his mind that caused him to suspect the strangers sudden appearance.  Though his thoughts were interrupted by the persons question directed to Chopper and himself.  Suutei raised an eyebrow to the other male, and nearly gave Suutei most of his personal information.

This kid is just a bit too lax for me…

Suutei thought it was rude though to not introduce himself and decided to greet the local shinobi.  ”My name is Suutei and I come from the Hidden Leaf Village.  I am here to attend Diamond Heights University, just not sure where to go.”  Suutei chuckled slightly playing coy with the stranger maybe to even get something actually of interest from him.

Sekuro had a pretty good feeling this kid was a shinobi, even though he were dressed up he seemed in excellent physical shape and when he said he was from the hidden leaf village he knew that he had to be, or he would have an escort around somewhere to keep him safe. And even then, to be away from your village, and not on a mission, atleast one that Sekuro would think possible, he was either a missing-nin or a high level ninja, and if he was a high level ninja then why was he bothering with school in one of the hidden villages especially? There was something missing to this picture, but does Sekuro want to even get involved?
Sekuro looked up as if he were pondering something, it was a beautiful day, a few clouds and blue sky, the temperature was cool and it seemed like the perfect day to him.
Sekuro could sit in his thoughts all day if he wanted to, and his comfortable dress suggested he just wanted to relax but now would be a good time to see about the university. Sekuro had also been interested in attending the Diamond Heights University, for a genin it would be the perfect place for Sekuro to expand his mind and add to his battle skills through information and history.  Hmmm, the leaf village. So a visitor from the leaf, basically alone from what I can tell, looking to go to school here. I figured you would be a high level shinobi, atleast you would need to be to make it here alone. That or your partner is, and if you are, then it is interesting that you return to school, or atleast wish to. It's interesting that he wants to be here, but then so does Sekuro, I guess it was time to either leave or help this guy out. Today would be a good day to go check out the university and see what that is about anyways.
I had intended to go by there at sometime, I can show you the way to the front door if you'd like, but you'll also have to keep me as company, if you think you can handle having me around? First I'll have to ask on our way over there, what is it you hope to learn or train? To leave a village means you must be pretty strong already. Sekuro began walking towards Suutei and passed him and his companion, he would walk through the bazaar and head past the residential area on the way to the university. Hopefully, he can find out more about Suutei and why he is here; on the way to their destination.

Opening the fridge door, Genki scanned the insides of the fridge with his magenta eyes and scowled at the sight. The fridge was barren and cold, nothing inhabiting the metal casket of once delicious goodness. Genki closed the door and rubbed his stomach a little, his fingers clenching to the fabric as he let out a slow and mournful sigh. Slipping on his coat, he walked towards the door, petting his dog Chisoku before leaving and locking the door behind him. "Right, time to go and get some food for me and Chisoku." he mumbled, tying his forehead protector to his left arm as he fixed his coat in place, his clans symbol stitched nicely into the right shoulder pad of the coat.

Exiting the scene, Genki winced as the sun pierced his eyes, immediately blocking the sun out with his hand out stretched in retaliation, the air dry but the noise of the people alive and loud. A normal day in the village of Iwagakure. people running around shopping, little academy ninja causing shit and old people playing checkers. The usual. "No point in dilly-dallying around here. Foooooooduh." He thought to himself as he pushed on through the crowd, closing his house' front door in the process.
Pushing and nudging his way through the troupe, Genki eyed the meat stall, the beef and the chicken hanging above it's other deceased brethren, cooking away slowly on the hot slab, sauces and spices being thrown on top of the meats, releasing a orgy of delicious smells. Genki could have died.

Pushing through a couple about to have a moment, Genki waltzed on through and almost skipped to the stall as he stared intently at the stall and it's content, his index finger slowly hovering over the fine selection of skewers, and his wallet crying as it's fate was being determined. Finally making up his mind, Genki picked a decent sized skewer with a selection of all the available meats. Genki happily paid the man the money which was owed as Genki took the skewer with both hands, holding each opposing point.
Chowing down on the food, Genki pressed his back against the column of the stall and stared out towards the people, his eyes running across the faces of his fellow ninja, people, stranger, animals, shops -!

"Huh, what? Whos that?" Genki stuttered to himself as he scoffed more of the food down, his mouth becoming coated in a light veil of grease and sauce. Genki monitored the individual, his outfit somewhat different from the rest of the ninja of Iwa and his...aura? Something along those lines. And next to him was another ninja, but of the Iwa orientation. Someone he had seen before around the village but never actually spoke with. Genki wanted to just sit by and watch the two and see what happened next, but then that would be stalking and he wasn't one to stalk two randoms. Pretty sure that breaks a law or something too. But, he wasn't one to just walk up and be all "HI MY NAME IS GENKI I'M A LEO!" kinda crap. Genki pondered for a moment and tried to think of how he could take this scenario. Maybe if he sat by minding his own business they would just walk off. Yeah, there's a high chance of that which would leave Genki alone and then that would be all she wrote., but something urged him to try and socialize with the two randoms.

"Urgh, I really don't wanna..." He whispered to himself as he wiped his face with a cloth and discarded it in a nearby bin before walking over to the duo, clasping his hands in front of him. "What are you doing you tit? Just waking up like you're some socialite. You poor little fool, prepare to make yourself into a one woman freak show. He thought to himself, his face contorted into a small snear before going back to normal.
Upon reaching the two, Genki stood a bit away as to not impose on their personal bubble space before giving them both a small wave. "Hello, my name is Genki Tensu, pleasure to meet you both." He stiffly said, his eyes going from the two and then back to the stranger. "I'm sorry, I didn't recognize your face, so I thought that I would give you a welcome to Iwagakure." He said, fixing his coat a little before clasping his hands in front of him again before glancing back to the other...person.

Just who is this person, brandishing the Konohagakure insignia?

Suutei let out a slight cough as he made eye contact with his animal friend Chopper.  As the two began following behind Sekuro, their self-appointed guide through the Hidden Stone Village.  The wind began to pick up slightly as dust was stirred.  Suutei began to relax after fighting the urge to take flight and the attire that was donned upon him from Chopper was preventing such action.  The outfit did bring on attention that wasn't quite needed and was beginning to make him feel uncomfortable.  Iwagakure no Sato was home to many courteous citizens and shinobi indeed, as far as common folk that is.

"Hehe Sekuro I'll be honest with ya.  The people here in Iwagakure sure are polite.  I actually thought it would be pretty rough here, with me being from Konoha and all."

Suutei enjoyed small talk with others it was a way to break the ice, and potentially make new connections with people.  The art of communication is just one major key to being a shinobi, for one who can speek to his peers may also speek to a nation.  Suutei thought about what a lame phrase he created within his mind, and scoffed at how ancient it sounded.  The boy Sekuro was an odd character indeed, but by his looks he appeared to be the same age as Suutei if not close.  They would hopefully get to know each other better by the end of the day, at least he hoped.

Sekuro and Suutei walked side by side through the streets and Chopper followed behind Suutei's heels.  The humanoid reindeer boy looked in amazement to the different restaurants, shops, and stalls in the Bazaar.  Chopper then soon got a chill up his spine, and this was a usual indication that Suutei was going to do something really stupid.  Looking around for any possible cause for his friends future actions was always a pain.  Then there the victim was just as clueless as ever making his way to cross the path of Suutei and Sekuro.

The boy dressed in a leather coat, complimenting his figure rather and judging by the stitching it was personally tailored.  Below the waist he wore combat trousers neatly tucked into his leather boots. His trousers were a deep green colour while his jacket a navy blue, and he had a very thin yet masculine build.

Suutei was apparently a celebrity to the Iwagakure people as yet another shinobi of the village approached and introduced himself.  This one was obviously the hometown hospitality type, but no harm no foul about it.  The male was a Genin of Iwagakure named Genki, and much like his fellow comrade he also was eager to introduce himself to the jet black haired male.

"Well it's nice to meet you Genki.  Kind of odd get up you got there aren't you a little hot.  Haha.  My name is Suutei Kimura, and well if you didn't notice I am from Konohagakure.  Sekuro here was actually escorting me to Diamond Heights University, and it would be nice if you would come as well.  Never can have to many friends am I right?"  Suutei said as he chuckled with a keen smile, rubbing the back of his head coyishly.

They continued walking through the Bazaar areas, it was a typical busy day around Iwa and many people were out and about, Sekuro would wave to those that he saw but he kept his attention on Suutei. He made a remark about the kindness of the people in the village, growing up here it had not dawned on him, but as a shinobi of Iwa he probably would not be so welcomed in other villages as well. He wondered what it would be like to be a visitor in another village one day, no matter he would find out at some point. There was no reason to ponder on the thought too long, especially since he was merely a genin who had hardly scratched the surface of being a true shinobi. He turned to Suutei after a moment, If you think they are so kind you should definitely try some of the food around here, it is definitely many times better. Sekuro chuckled as he blurted as his statement.

They continued walking and seeing some of the sights, he continued to wonder what exactly Suutei was going to do at the university, but then suddenly another person appeared before them, this one had been one that Sekuro had noticed in the mountains where his clan resided. He introduced himself as Genki, and he had the same purple eyes that Sekuro had, a coincidence that was too strange to ignore. Genki, huh? He paused for a second and then began again, You're one of the Fantomusodo aren't you? Our eyes are too similar too similar to be ignored, you must be one the other ninja from our clan to actually get through the Academy. My name is Sekuro, you may have heard my name in the gossip throughout the clan since I am going to be taking over soon. It's good to meet you, hopefully we can get to know each other well, it would be good to know the other ninja. As Suutei explained we're heading to the university, you're more than welcome to join us as well.

Sekuro began to walk ahead and after a few steps looked back to wave his new acquaintances on towards the university. I guess it would be up to them to make something interesting happen today, he pulled out a small cigar he kept in his pocket and lit it as today's adventure could now begin.

[409 words, 1366 words total]

Time was escaping the trio and there was no time for fiddling with others.  Watching as his companion moved ahead Suutei took a nice glance at Genki.  It was up to him whether he would have joined them.  Well Suutei did not have the time to wait for his answer, if the boy wanted to accompany them he surely would follow them.  "Well you know where we will be Genki, pleasure to meet you again.

Chopper stood with is mouth ajar at the subtlely displayed by Suutei.  He wasn't extremely loud nor was he obnoxious to the other boy.  Though his comment about his clothes was rude.  Suutei appeared to be almost like a gentleman, Chopper couldn't be more proud of his friend.  Something wasn't sitting right Suutei was too nice to this boy.  Maybe the clothes made him act more professionally.

The day went on as the soon reached it's peak on the day and the group finally arrived at their destination.  Now the next step was partaking in whatever classes were available for young aspiring shinobi.  The only thing they needed was to locate the admissions office.  That wouldn't be much of a problem right?  "Hey Sekuro?  I just can't hold this in anymore...Let's have a fight right here right now.

Chopper slammed his hoof at his face as this is what he was feeling earlier.  Challenging someone who helped them, and on top of that it was in an open area.  Literally they stood in the middle of the University Campus.  Chopper could only hope that his friend would settle down.  As well as Sekuro who he wished was much more level headed than Suutei.  Rubbing the back of his head Chopper chuckled nervously, "Haha you're just kidding right Suutei...

Suutei stood determined as the wind picked up making him feel more nostalgic, and only boosted his ego.  "So what do you say?"

[1838]
[488]

They arrived at the university, they reached the open field out in front of it, it seemed that they would almost be there, then suddenly Suutei calls out to him. He wanted to fight? And here of all places? They could have definitely picked a better location, and so open, he would have to rely on forward attacks, it really limited Sekuro's normal M.O. to fighting. His companion seemed to protest and looked at Sekuro hoping he would be reasonable and deny it, but why not? Other than possibly destroying the university grounds there should be no problem. Sekuro looked at him as they both faced each other in the middle of the field. A few trees around and a wind blowing them, a cool day in Sekuro's opinion though it could be colder. He looke him in the eyes, Okay Suutei, I accept your friendly fight here. I just want you to know that I don't have many of my tools with me just this kunai and some shuriken I keep on me. It's no matter though, on another note let's try to keep the damage to a minimum, I'd hate for them to raise tuition on us because of something like this. He jested as he pulled out his kunai and prepared himself, he figured that his opponent would have many jutsu to outclass him, he would have to save the few that he had up his sleeve for the right opprutunity if he were to even have a chance, for now he would start by using the bits of taijutsu he knew and incorporating his techniques from there.

Sekuro readied himself and his basic utensils, he put the kunai out in front and charged at his opponent while keeping the kunai in front of him, he began to fill his mouth and throat with chakra as he ran towards Suutei, when he would get about 5 meters away from him he would slash with his kunai while slowly letting out his Misty flame dance, trying to keep Suutei from noticing since his gas has no smell or visibility. Since there were no places to hide for a sneak attack he would try to work to hide his sneak attack. His eyes following his opponent as he ran towards him, hoping that Suutei wouldn't be too fast for him to keep up. his next moves would be to push Suutei offensively with his basic taijutsu and lure him into a ninjutsu trap that he was confident he wouldn't be able to escape so easily.

Focused in, all Sekuro could think about was observing Suutei's movements and seeing what skills he had at his disposal and to hopefully stay in one piece at the end of the fight.

Misty Flame Dance:

[140/150 Chakra left]

[469 words, 1835 words left]

Challenge accepted.  Those were the words that displayed within Suutei's mind.  The boy Sekuro accepted his terms to fight and Suutei finally took notice that they were in the middle of campus.  Even more of a reason for him to put on a show, and maybe catch a few eyes to show off his expertise.  Suutei just couldn't put his finger on why he was so aggressive, but fighting someone he never met was worth the while.  It was just his personality and his way of saying Lookk at what I can do.  He also saw it as a great oppurtunity to get a feel for the upcoming Shinobi of another village.  "Sorry Sekuro, but I have a hard time comprehending the meaning of holding back.  So don't get frisky with me alright."  Suutei said as he displayed his signature smirk.

Sekuro readied himself, but sadly he was armed with basic ninja tools; three shuriken and a kunai.  This sort of thing disappointed Suutei, as a ninja should always be prepared for combat no matter what the case.  Reaching down to his side where a fuma shuriken was fastened to his hip.  Suutei gripped the ring of the large shuriken, while the blades released one after the other.  Suutei could feel his blood rushing, and pleased himself from the sensation.  It was a way of calming himself before iniating combat.  

Setting his feet instantaneously once Sekuro made the first move, Suutei felt his muscle twitch in his arms as Sekuro slashed with his Kunai.  A simple attack...  Though he expected more from Sekuro.  Suutei slid his right foot back about 45 degrees, and followed up by performing a simple sweep kick to unbalance the Genin.  Once succeeding he would follow through with a strong uppercut to Sekuro's abdomen.  Projecting him just above Suutei's head and allowing for another plan of attack.  In his mind the formula was a success with a 1% chance of failure.

"Of all places Suutei to pick a fight why would you choose a college campus?!  Oh no what if they remove of us from the premises and ban us for life?!  Damn it Suutei why do you have to be such a hard ass?!"  Chopper screamed to his friend with tears of undenying embarassment.  It never failed wherever they travelled Suutei surely found a way to destroy something.  This would be the absolute worst thing he could have done to date, but it was Suutei after all why wouldn't he do something like this.

Sekuro lunged at him, the mist had been released and Suutei seemed to have not noticed it at first, it wouldn't be long before it dissipated and he would lose his chance to capitalize on his attack. He slashed at Suutei's body, it was easily dodged and Suutei had prepared a fuma shuriken. Sekuro was confident that that would be his next attack but suddenly he was swept of his feet, he hadn't seen it coming and then a powerful uppercut to his abdomen. He was raised to Suutei's head between a meter or two off the ground. All Sekuro could think of was his hand in his stomach, he could feel the pain of the hit, it had been a while since someone had hit him that hard.

As he was lifted he opened his mouth, a bit of blood exited from his stomach, he could feel some bruising start to form instantly, and he started to get the feeling that his opponent may be a skilled taijutsu fighter. He couldn't tell if the shuriken was a ruse though, as he could feel the force of his uppercut end it was time to make a move himself.

He vaguely heard Suutei's companion yelling about something, he didn't really listen as he prepared his next move. For a split second, at his highest point being lifted off the ground and before Suutei would fully retract his hand Sekuro would attempt a sort of combo attack. He looked Suutei right in the eyes, first kind of dazed from the hit but then his face changed drastically, his smile became bright and his eyes widened at his enemy. The confidence of his next move would overtake him and he wanted to make it seem as if Suutei's uppercut had not done as much as he imagined.

As he looked him in the eyes he awaited his reaction and used his Wind release stream to propel him away from Suutei, at an angle of about 45 degrees from where he was hit and away from the mist he had created. He would rely on the force of the stream to carry him backwards about ten meters and to unsettle Suutei from where he was standing.

Once he felt that he was being propelled backwards he formed a tiger hand seal. His attack did not require one but he felt it fitting to give his opponent a slight warning at what was about to come his way. Although it would be up to him to try and dodge it. He was about to exhaust the extent of his ninjutsu right here.

He formed the handsign as he was launched backwards. He filled his mouth with Katon chakra and launched a Flame Bullet at his opponent, was it overkill? Maybe. But his opponent seemed more than capable of dodging it. At this range the bullet would reach his opponent and even if he did dodge it he would still ignite the gas around them giving his bullet some real burning power and the gas the ability to burn someone as well. When he released the bullet he lost track of his target, between the bruising and soreness in his abdomen it took some strength to draw up the chakra into his throat and mouth. He heard the bullet hit the ground with a large thud and the gas begin to ignite in a large flame.

Sekuro's clothes became slightly burnt as well from being soaked in the gas as well. He ripped his shirt off as he fell and began to search out the field for his opponent, the ground in front of him ablaze from the flame bullet. Wondering if he was able to make contact with his opponent so easily. He hit the ground and almost went to a kneeling pose panting to a degree, he used a lot of chakra very quickly and the pain in his stomach was becoming more intense every passing moment, for a ninja it had been sometime since he had been hit by someone who could put that much force behind one of their punches.

Suutei was able to successfully unbalance Sekuro, by sweeping him from his feet. It was impossible to anticipate the following attack, a powerful uppercut to his abdomen. The strike just powerful enough to send him up above Suutei just a few meters. Quickly switching to the defensive Suutei raised the Fuma Shuriken over his head like a shield, readying himself for an attack from above. Suutei with his emotionless mug equipped in combat, and made eye contact taking notice of the tiny droplets of blood. Though he was quite impressed at how he could crack a smile in combat, and especially after taking a pretty solid hit. Suutei watched as his opponent used some kind of Wind Style technique propelling him away, at a rough 45 degree angle. I know that technique...And I know just how to handle you...

Tracking the boy moving away from Suutei in midair, he awaited still in his defensive position for the right oppurtunity to go at it again. Yet his arrogance towered over his discipline giving his opponent an open window to attack. Without a second to spare he moved his arm that was positioned over his head down, and quickly focused on an approximate landing zone. Suutei hurled the Fuma Shuriken towards the landing zone, and saw as it hooked towards the sky planning for it to take a dive at where Sekuro might land. During his throw he watched Sekuro perform the half tiger seal, but was curious as to what nature was he accustomed to. Suutei did not hesitate to counterattack, as he inhaled quickly he was alerted of a peculiar smell and soon identified the trap he was lured into. Suutei could honestly applaud at the tactic made, a very good play on an opponents mind he would admit. You sneaky little bastard...

Suutei took his signature taijutsu stance known as the Tempest Style, a fighting style utilizing the Fūton element at it's best. The technique originally created by his grandfather, and thus passed onto Suutei to use as his own. Just as his grandfather guessed that Suutei would take it and run with it, and created multiple jutsu utilizing it. Suutei allowed his Fuuton chakra to expel from his body as if he were an exhaust vent, causing him to be lifted just a couple inches off the ground. Suutei thought that maybe he could use the gas against his opponent, but ran out of time when Sekuro fired a Flame Bullet. Now simply improvising Suutei began to spin at 25 revolutions per sec, and turned himself into a human vaccum drawing the gas closer into himself.

Suutei gathered most of what he could in the short time and took off into the air as the gas exploded into a fireball, and ignited the vaccum he created as well. 10 meters in the air was a burning cyclone that was a pure sight to behold. Within the cyclone was Suutei who was still spinning as to keep his self from getting harmed, and was now descending headed straight for Sekuro. Planning to crash into his opponent with his own jutsu power and send him flying, and in severe pain with a few burns here and there. As Suutei began his descent he screamed aloud for everyone to hear, "WIND STYLE: TEMPEST GYLDE FLAMING CYCLONE!!!"

Chakra: 195/200:

[1501]

Just as Sekuro thought, his opponent stood there and launched his shuriken where he was anticipated to land, although he did nothing to escape the trap Sekuro had set, atleast not yet. Sekuro made his movement and launched his flame bullet. It was on target although Sekuro couldn't follow for long between the fire blinding him and his fall back to the earth. As he fell he noticed the shuriken again, Suutei had made an incredible throw directed right towards him and his landing spot. A fuma shuriken, a simple attack that even academy students could have made, he would never touch Sekuro with a shuriken.

Now, the key was how to prevent being hit by it, he had already used his wind style stream to create distance between them, maybe it would be best just to attempt to out maneuver the projectile. So be it, he changed positions midair so that he would fall head first to the ground and the shuriken that would have been aimed right at his chest continued on its path. As Sekuro's hands hit the ground he began to ball up towards a fetal position as to slide under the shuriken. His landing was well executed and when he stood back up there was no shuriken in his stomach or anywhere he could see. Must mean he must have escaped, then he noticed Suutei created a cyclone that had lit with gas and that was now headed right towards him.

Sekuro was in a kneeling position now as the flaming cyclone began to move towards him. Now he was in a predicament, the cyclone rotating very quickly and moving very quickly at him, even if he used a quick speed burst he would only avoid the majority of the attack, and he had no jutsu to disrupt the cyclone or to block the hit. Running out of time to think Sekuro pushed his muscles to the limits and began to leap out of the way of the cyclone.

As he leaped he narrowly avoids the bulk of the cyclone but the crash of flames expanding upon the ground and the force of the explosion knocks Sekuro back and burns him in various places, he takes minor second degree burns to his legs, abdomen, and his left arm he used to shield his face and head from the blast. He rolls backwards away from the cyclone and from the burning, getting hit from the explosion he slides upon the ground trying to regain his balance. He stops about five meters away from where his target should be he looked up and awaited for his opponent to appear.

With Sekuro being numb the burns had no affect on his willpower to fight but they would have a tremendous impact on his bodies ability to continue, pushing him closer to his limit his next move would have to be even more clever than the first. As he awaits his opponent he strings together several handsigns as quickly as he can. As quickly as his arms will allow he forms Dragon-> Rat-> Horse-> Tiger and sends his chakra into some nearby stones and branches. He ends up using the Tile shuriken jutsu and creates five kunai-like objects out of small branches and five shuriken out of stones. He then sits at the ready for his opponent with his new projectiles trained in his direction, hopefully he will be able to counter whatever Suutei's next move is.

105/150 chakra left:

Suutei and the ground collided causing a wide area explosion, and hollowing out the center of the campus.  Shrouded by smoke and the falling debris Suutei was knealt down, and he himself emitted smoke.  Clenching his fists he began to tremble slightly distraught by him missing his target, but happy all the same that Sekuro was not harmed.  Small pebbles fell about within the fissure Suutei created as the dust began to settle.  The cunning young boy could do nothing but smirk at the efforts of Sekuro as he was able to dodge a fatal attack.  Though he doubted Sekuro emerged from that explosion unscathed at the least.

Rising from his downed position the smoke had settled while Suutei still gazed at his two fists.  Even though he was happy the boy Sekuro didn't get hurt and nobody else did for that matter.  Something he could not shake, and that rattled his very core to the pit of his stomach.  While his back turned to his opponent the ground moved from beneath his feet, and he began to levitate once more ready to end the fight.  Without turning his body he turned his head to look over his shoulder to find Sekuro; bloodied, battered, and bruised yet still having the strength to stand.  Suutei couldn't help but admire this kind of tenacity from someone other than himself, and would put this kids fighting spirit to the test.

Suutei emerged from the fissure staring at Sekuro, and was ready to put him to rest with his next attack.  Apparently out of an act of desperation he created 10 projectiles that all floated around the boy, and aimed at their target: Suutei.  Grinning he stared down Sekuro and at his current state, he could put it away right now.  Suutei readied himself to perform a rush attack, first by instantaneously shortening the gap.  Taking a short exhale he quickly bursted towards the sky diagonally aligning him with Sekuro.  Crossing both arms in an X shape as he got ready for another burst this time at Sekuro, he threw both his arms back and leaned forward pitching himself towards Sekuro.  Not a second later Suutei performed another burst and was flying directly towards Sekuro at an alarming speed.  

The wind caused Suutei's hair to be blown backwards in a spiky fashion as he prepared his assault.  Suutei took in account for Sekuro launching his projectiles and was prepared to use an afterimage to avoid all 10.  That was if he could not maneuver through all of the projectiles, and would fly lower to the ground to build momentum.  Once within reach he'd throw a high knee at Sekuro's chin knocking him off of his feet, in which he would use another burst to get beneath Sekuro before touching the ground and dropkick him towards the sky.  To end the fight he would use one more afterimage to appear above Sekuro performing a spinning drop kick to send him back to the ground, and ultimately crashing through the surface potentially rendering him unconscious.

Sekuro stood there with the smoke clearing, if he could feel pain then he wouldn't definitely be feeling it at this point. None of his body parts were moving like he hoped they would, his joints seemed to be locking up, he wouldn't be able to do much more with his fists or his body. Suutei began to levitate and turn towards Sekuro, he was starting to prep his next attack. At this point Sekuro was operating more on willpower and his inability to feel pain than he was wanting to actually continue the fight, but there is no honor in giving up so easily when he had no reason to.

He sat at the ready, Suutei ready to charge at him and he ready to launch his projectiles at Suutei. There was a brief moment where the battlefield fell nearly silent, they both starred in each other eyes, Sekuro's purple eyes into Suu's blue eyes. A small gust of wind blew and seemed to trigger the next move of the fight, Suutei launched forward and above Sekuro, lining himself up with Sekuro. Sekuro saw him and began to adjust his projectiles towards him, in the next instant he was flying towards Sekuro at a very high speed.

Sekuro had seen his high speed before, he would use this knowledge to try and anticipate where Suutei would be at each point. He launched half of his projectiles right before Suutei made his second burst, but because of the burst they missed. Damn, Sekuro thought, you can't get those back now. He then launched the remaining five , measuring each up to where Suutei. He let them go all at once, some at different speeds and angled at Suutei's center body mass.

After launching them Sekuro could feel his bodies energy begin to leave him, he watched his weapons begin to fly towards Suutei, each one about to hit his target but passing by him and missing him, or he couldn't tell at this point, his focus was dropping and he wasn't sure if Suutei used a clone jutsu or was just moving too quickly for him to follow, but that couldn't be the problem, could it? All of the projectiles missed him, or maybe scrapped him as a best case scenario.

As Suutei approached closer, Sekuro tried to jump backwards, aimed at avoiding whatever attack Suutei had in mind. But his body wouldn't move as quickly as he desired and Suutei caught up to him easily, hitting him with a high knee and sending him off the ground, Sekuro was unable to counter or resist the hit, as he fell back towards the ground he felt Suutei dig his feet into his back, sending him to the sky, at this point he must be moving at some pretty incredible speeds. As he turned trying to find where Suutei and block his next hit, his eyes turned and again he found Suutei next to him about to drop another huge hit and send him back to the ground.

He hit the ground with quite a force, breaking the surface of the ground, followed by a large thumping sound and some dust being lifted up from the ground. He layed there, if he could feel the pain he would do anything to get up and try to continue but it seemed futile at this point. He lay there, wondering how badly he was actually hurt, he didn't feel any broken bones immediately, but because his joints failed to move freely he knew there was some degree of damage to him. He lay there wondering what Suutei would do next? Suprisingly, Sekuro remained conscience through his last taijutsu combo but there was not much he could do. He then crawled his way out of the small crater that had been created and rolled over to his back again, he tried to look around and find Suutei but quickly gave up and starred up to the sky. He started to speak hoping Suutei was near by enough to hear his words, Well fought Suutei, but I think that's it for me, my body won't act the way I want it to anymore. I hope you enjoyed the fight as much as I did. He layed there for a second waiting for what Suutei would do next, after he heard from Suutei he would do his best to try to drag himself to the nearby hospital, not being able to fell makes you susceptible to letting injuries grow way worse than they really are. Well it was time to see what was next for Sekuro now, and what Suutei would have to say about their fight, and how Sekuro wasn't able to put up a very good fight for very long.

Suutei walked over to Sekuro who was immobolized into the ground on his back, and could tell he was in pain who wouldn't be.  It was like Suutei let his own strength get the best of him as he was now standing over Sekuro.  Though it was pretty dusty still so he doubt he could see him and decided to walk to his side, and squat down.  While walking Sekuro was mumbling something aloud directed to Suutei, "Well fought Suutei, but I think that's it for me, my body won't act the way I want it to anymore. I hope you enjoyed the fight as much as I did."

Suutei knealt down and tapped the boys forehead with his index and middle finger.  As the dust cleared Suutei could be seen smiling at the Iwa genin.  "I'll say this to you Sekuro.  Either you're a complete fool, or you have guts.  Regardless you have potential, and don't let it go to waste."  All he needed from Sekuro was collected from their fight, and Suutei understood why people were so friendly.  Yet he wondered what happened to the Genki character who they'd met earlier.  Brushing away the thought and was less concerned with him, as he was sure they would cross paths again one day.

Chopper began to shed tears as his lip quivered at the site of the campus that they destroyed.  Their were craters and broken trees, and a fire was being put out by some of the students.  With no other choice Chopper scurried to reach Suutei to leave the campus, and not get punished for vandalism.  "SUUUUTEI WE GOTTA GOOOOOOO!!!  Chopper grabbed Suutei by his hair pulled him along, running as fast as his small legs could take him.  It was amazing the crazy strength Chopper had when it came to fleeing a scene.

Sekuro lied there on the ground as Suutei approached him now, he stood over him for a second. Sekuro wasn't completely immobilized but it would probably be better not to do anything and let Suutei do whatever he was to do next, as long as that didn't involve destroying him, then he would have to use what was left of his physical strength to avoid the attack. Suutei then kneeled down next to him and tapped his forehead as he began to talk, I'll say this to you Sekuro.  Either you're a complete fool, or you have guts.  Regardless you have potential, and don't let it go to waste. It confused him as to why Suutei tapped his forehead but there was no time for losers to question the actions of the winners. Suutei left the battlefield shortly after and Sekuro began to get up as well.

He looked around at the damage they caused to the universities field, lots of burnt grass, and several craters, this was a decent mess they had created so Sekuro began preparing to leave. He knew he would need to go to a hospital to have all of his injuries tended to but he went over all his bodies and check to see if there was any imminent bleeding that could kill him, he found none, and only one of his arms and a few ribs had broken. His then got to his legs and began to walk slowly towards the hospital and get himself checked out. It was good that he was unable to feel physical pain otherwise this journey would be quite a feat to get through for someone as weak as he was. He stumbled through the village on his way to the Iwa hospital, the villagers giving him weird looks at how beaten he was, a few offering him help right there but he denied it, he would make it of his own accord, and besides, he wanted proper care as not many people would know how to handle him and his condition.

After some time he finally made it to the hospital and the cool air of the building felt great against his skin, he didn't actually notice how much he was sweating until he got indoors. He checked in with the front desk and they found him a room immediately, and as he lied down he passed out, and awoke later all wrapped up and ready to continue on with his life.
