As the towering young man leaped in, Sachi was surprised at his forward approach. Almost delighted, he nodded at his formalities. The fissure he had made wasn’t just for himself, but rather as a means to mute out the annoying sounds brought by the many faults in their strategies. Too much rustling for his taste, but it seemed in his best interest to bring a more face-to-face confrontation. No need for the two to be constantly encircling each other and along with that, he didn’t want the further confusion of having to track various sources of sound.
“Hello, it’s a pleasure to meet you” the boy smiled back and returned the fighting gesture, keeping his fists up and taking a more traditional boxing stance,
“I’m Sachihiro”A Yuki? He had met two in the past and they had to be quite powerful adversaries. He looked at the four senbons in his opponents hands and narrowed his eyes at the thoughts of if his intentions. He seemed quite ready to take him on in physical combat, so the young Senju made sure to not underestimate his opponent’s abilities. He would take a more cautious approach in combat and figured a head on approach wouldn’t be wise. Especially with his guarded, weaponized stance. He had no weapon techniques of his own, but he figured he could work his way around the disadvantage.
As the strategy took into motion, he heard the former rustlings of the clones just leering above him, they seemed to be barely peeking out. Keeping a close eye on the assumed original.
They must be water, ice or wind clones. He made a head count of the six, being sure to allocate their positions as he let out a sigh of relief. He had an idea of the Yuki’s strat, though not cemented. With this fissure, the noisiness of the grass would act as less of a distraction. If things got rough with the ambush of the clones above, an obvious approach, he would be sure to find a counter to it. However, for now he was fixated on the Genin before him.
He’d have to be careful with any water techs the young man would throw his way.
“I’m sorry about this” the boy sheepishly smiled, feeling a bit guilty at performing the first move against such a well-mannered equal. He knew it wasn't going to be a painful jutsu but nonethelss His habitual kindness brought him to apologize.
He leaped backwards just about 7 meters away from his opponent whilst weaving a set of hand signs. Upon landing, the boy placed his palms onto the ground as plant matter began to emerge from the ground below. Stretching outward and forward to its maximum range of twelve meters, with a 6 meter radius. Covering the entirety of the floors in front and around his opponenet. Reaching up onto the walls as well.
Had the enemy decided to approach him at their full speed, they would be injured. However, if he would decide choose to move in slower, the boy would be allowed to more easily predict and maneuver out of any strikes.
Upon the end of his jutsu, the boy then threw a kunai at his opponent and made sure to keep an eye on the ‘clones’ above.
