OOC: First/Second posts wont count as sparring posts since we'll be talking and entering the cave before starting the fight.

Toushi had been wandering around the outskirts of Iwa for awhile now, the sun high in the sky now since he'd started in the early hours. Walking round and rounds in circles, hearing from some of the townsfolk and local ninja that there was a cave called Cave Neverendless where it was meant to be perilous and dangerous. Perfect for sparring and fighting. It had rock and water, the perfect place obviously for such a training match that the Kage had requested from the both of them.

He continued to walk, the dirt kicking up as he dragged his feet behind him; panting and whining like a lost pup before he came to small opening, just enough room to shimmy through the cracks. Toushi decided to run up and investigate the crack more, a gentle breeze blowing out of the crack, the smell of moss growing, water hitting puddles and the faint light of luminous glowing deep within the cave. Toushi concentrated his chakra around his hand before sticking it in, the area around his lighting up. This had to be the cave! Inside was large and roomy, perfect to set up a small fire. He snatched his hand out and took a few steps back before screaming into the air, alerting those nearby.

"TAKUMI! GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE! I FOUND IT!!"

When takumi left the tsuchikages building he went home to take a nap. After resting up he left to explore the village. He was just killing time before his spar with toushi. He had been having a nice quiet time before he heard "TAKUMI! GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE! I FOUND IT!!"recognizing the voice as toushi he assumed that he had found their spot. He then left in search to find the voice. He did not know where it came from but when he heard the villagers talking about a cave in the direction he was going. He figured that is where the spar would be held. So upon arrival the first thing he smelled was the moss growing around the cave. Takumi thought(Moss that means water and earth i might like this fight after all).

When he walked in he saw toushi a little closer to the cave he said"Nice spot you have picked out i like it" He walked up next to toushi and said "So who are we getting through there. Are we busting or squeezing" He looked at toushi for the answer. He could probably fit but he could bust the wall just as easy.

Toushi watched as Taku came closer to him, his face blank as usual. He listened to what Taku had to say about it and to be honest, if they were to squeeze through and progress as they were, they would run out of oxygen rather quickly and most likely suffocate due to the small amount of air coming in through the crack so it'd probably be best to break the wall down so they can at least have a chance to live.

"It'd probably be best to destroy it but...what can we use?" He said, scratching the bottom of his chin as sighed. Yup. Probably the best bet but there was nothing nearby and Toushi really had no jutsu worth of explosive damage.

He heard what toushi said and replied "Yeah we definitely need to break it but how" I don't really have anything strong enough to do it with. What about you do you have any jutsu that can bust the wall." As he waited for his answer he looked around to see if there was another way in but sadly there was not. At least none that the could see. he was wondering how they were going to get inside. So he just waited for toushis answer.

Toushi sighed and cracked his neck. He was going to have use one of his jutsu and leave him self short already before the match even started...just great! He was going to have to rely on his cunning to get through this. He closed his eyes, his chakra beginning to burn up inside him before emitting from his body, and angelic white light shrouded Toushi in a 2ft radius; opening his eyes, pulsing a white glow, the chakra resided inside him before he leaped into the air, his body twirling around in circles before stopping in mid air, floating for a brief moment before charging back down to the earth below and thrusting his hand straight into the dirt.

A bright flash was seen underneath their feet, both of them, as a ferocious white charged was flying towards the rock before shattering it into piece upon impact, the rock flying like bullets towards the both of them, Toushi already out the way since he knew what to expect. He'd jumped behind a tree as soon as he had landed. He tried to warn Taku but he was too caught up in getting away, his words refusing to escape his mouth. He'd only hope he got out the way... unlikely to come out unscathed. Him being where Toushi was, he was going to need mega fast reflexes or a jutsu to go underground.

Once he saw toushi preforming a jutsu he decided to have one active just in case so he did some hand signs. And waited for whatever toushi was going to do when he saw toushi start glowing he knew something big was going to happen. The moment his hand hit the ground he saw the rock explode and toushi fly off behind a tree for cover. He then dove under ground using his decapitation technique. When he thought it was safe he popped back out of the ground and waited for toushi to come back out. "Well thanks for the warning i could have been killed"

Takumi walked into the cave and sat is stuff down and waited on toushi to get ready. He got to his spot close to a water source and waited. After seeing that display outside he was beginning to understand why this guy was called into the tsuchikages office with him. So he began to make a plan on how to beat him. He had never seen that style of move before. So he really had no way to defend against it. So he tried to formulate a plan on what he was going to do against a target as strong as this.

He followed after Taku, shrugging at his comment and shaking his head simultaneously, a small smile beginning to grow on his face in disbelief.

"I'm sorry, I tried to, I really did but I just couldn't. Scouts honor!" He joked, placing one hand on his chest as he followed Taku into the opening of the cave, the sounds of his shoes tapping against the rocky floor and puddle resonated through the room and down the passageways that lay ahead of them. The obstacles that they will have to overcome and achieve whilst still trying to fight each other...Toushi was beginning to think that maybe this was a bad choice...a bad place to pick to train in but...Oh well.

Toushi sat across from Taku, both perched right in the middle of a Y junction, Taka near the left hand side and Toushi near the right hand side. Easy to say which way of who was going where. Simples. Toushi took a few step down the right passageway, illuminating crystals lit further down the passage as parts of the ceiling crumbled here and there. He turned round and smiled at Taku, giving hi a small wave.

"May the best ninja win~" He smiled, leaving down the passageway in a flash before shouting to him to meet him on the other side.

Taku thought to himself(Yeah scouts honor my butt) as they began to walk toward the Y junction He took the left path but before he left he heard"May the best ninja win" and with a smile on his face he said "I will" then he began to walk down his passage the crystals being the only real light he had to keep up his guard at all times. Never knowing when you might get attacked can keep you focused. So as hes walking he is getting used to the light and his eyes adjust to the dimness. He was still trying to think up a strategy for that light jutsu. But at the moment he had nothing he could not think of one counter for it. His only choice is to make sure he cant use it.

As he was walking he thought he could here foot steps echoing close by so he decided to stay back and find a good hiding place. If he saw toushi he would need to think of a way to surprise him. the sound started to get louder and louder he needed his plan fast if he was going to attack him then he decided to use it. he made a quick hand sign and the room filled with fog. He would wait until he was almost passed and strike.

Toushi was more or less skipping down the corridor, the water and small rocks kicking up as he progressed down the dimly lit passage. His white eyes scanning the surroundings as he smiled. This wasn't so bad, it was basically straight on go to the next room. Pretty simple enough but who's to say the other passages will be as easy...after all, this cave has been known to be treacherous.

The room ahead began to fill with a fog...a mist more or less...rather ominous how something like that was just there because it seemed to be filling in from the left side and when he reached the end of the doorway he looked to his left and he was right. The mist was filling in from the left side of the room. Smart.
"Must have something to do with him." He said to himself as he dashed into the room, just at the opening of the right passageway so if anything happened, he'd be able to make a quick run for the passageway and get to the next room... He brought his fists up as a defensive state before concentrating his white chakra to his feet. The fog hadn't quite reached to him yet, it was just beginning, to shroud around his feet so the white chakra was no camouflaged in with the white mist. Perfect for making a quick burst of flight down the passageway away from his current spot. In this mist he wouldn't be able to fight in a mist like this...This kid had the upper hand here.

Takumi heard toushi running into the room he did not want to waste anymore chakra so he quietly got out of his hiding spot and walked quietly over to toushi and aimed a punch straight for his nose if it hit it could cause extreme pain and maybe even break it. knowing that he might be in danger he ran back out and found his tunnel and began walking down it again. he wondered if toushi had been hit he was in such a rush he could not remember. So just in case he walked with his guard up. Every sound he would turn ready to fight but every time it was just something like water falling of the roof or a random rock that he kicked. And over time he started to relax he thought that maybe that punch might have taken toushi out. But he could not let his overconfidence get the better of him.

After a few minutes of walking he stumbled into a medium sized room it was large enough for him to hid in. So he quickly found a hiding spot and waited to see if toushi would show up. if he did a fight might start if not he would continue on to the next room.

Toushi waited for a moment, listening in on his surroundings from water dripping to rocks begin kicked about the room...footsteps slowly making their way towards Toushi. Perfect. Toushi braced himself, bringing a foot back to either launch a kick or to soar down the corridors and he was right to. A fist soared out of the mist, flying straight for his face or his nose to be specific. Reacting just in time, Toushi bent backwards and performed a backhand spring, jumping back he rebounded off the wall and continued jumping down the corridor, rocks shifting and falling out of place...

Toushi stopped, still a fair bit of length to go till the next room. He crouched down for a moment, catching his breath when all of a sudden the rock in the corridor began to shift and fall to the ground, a low rumbling sound began to resonate through the corridor as Toushi looked around in confusion..before he got up and started running for his life. The corridor was caving in and fast. Toushi had a slim chance of surviving if caught in this rubble. With chakra to his feet he continued to the run, rocks pelting off his back and legs as he just managed to stay ahead of the landslide before he got to the end of the corridor. Sweat running down his face and body becoming weak with the amount he was pushing himself. If he had time to prepare for it, he'd be fine but he didn't and just before he got to the exit of the corridor he took one long leap of faith, in hope of surviving. His body just inches away from the rubble as his body soared through the air and out the corridor...he was safe...at least he hoped so.

He hit the dirt and began to roll in a log-like formation, the dirt flying into the air and the water splashing around him as he came to a halt, pressing up against a small family of crystals and gems...Panting from exhaustion he rose to his feet, legs shaking violently before he readied himself to defend though he wasn't to sure on how he'd fare in his current state...

Takumi heard the rubble breaking and saw toushi jump into the room as the rubble fell behind him. He knew this was his perfect chance he jumped down and bite his thumb and did some hand signs and slammed his hand down on the ground. Which made a large puff of smoke appear and when it cleared his wolf was standing in the dissipating smoke. he put his hand on the wolfs head and said "say hello to my little friend". He then walked off into the next corridor leaving the wolf to deal with toushi he was laughing until he felt a rock go down slightly. and when he turned he saw a huge boulder rolling toward him. He ran as fast as he could to get away from the boulder he could hear the boulder approaching fast he knew if he did not find some way to avoid it he would be crushed. Then he saw a light approaching fast he knew that that was his only chance he did one final burst and ran through the doorway just as the rock hit it. then he turned and said "well looks like i am going back through toushi's door"

He then feel back because of the sheer energy lose he just suffered. As he was laying there he noticed a water fall as he turned his head he saw it and said "hmm that looks nice so he lied there waiting for toushi to come so the could fight.

Watching as Taku bit his finger and placed his hand on the ground with an instantaneous reaction of smoke to fill the room, there was no denying it...this guy had Kuchiyose and he was summoning...a wolf? Oh christ...
"I wish I had a sword right about now...shit...what can I use!?" He said to himself, panic beginning to loom over as this wolf stood there and snarled away at him as Taku walked off...bastard! If the cave doesn't kill him, I will! He thought to himself...There was nothing he could use on him...

In a rush he turned his head to examine the room around him, nothing but rocks and water...and gems! That's it! The gems! If Toushi could break one off, he could use the point of the gem to stab into the wolf! Perfect but would this beast let me move before it struck out at him? He readied his jutsu just in case for a counter before running to one side of the room to snap this crystal in half. He skidded across the ground before reaching the gem and bringing his foot down on it, the crystal beginning to break at the bottom while Toushi still continued to watch the rampaging wolf...If Toushi wasn't careful, he was going to end up it's meal.

Right Taku, seeing as though you've been reminded countless times and still haven't posted, this thread is now closed. Toushi Iki wins by default.
