Amidst the many islands that surrounded the vast lands of Kaminari no Kuni, not one ever eclipsed the greatness of Genbu, or more commonly known as the Island Turtle. The Island Turtle was unique in the very sense that it was a living, breathing, gigantic creature that housed an island on its entire back. The Island, itself, was a historic figure piece within Kumogakure no Sato. Popularly, it was known as the birthing grounds of two great shinobi, the fourth raikage, A, and his eight tails jinchuriki brother, B. From then on the island became a landmark for all citizens of Kaminari no Kuni, and a common spot for young shinobi to hone their skills. Yet however much of a figure piece it was within the village, Genbu was still a being that possessed a mind and free will of its own. And so, as a moving fortress, Genbu usually remained far from Kumogakure, often even completely hiding itself for years on end. Today, however, was a most auspicious day, for the first time in centuries the gigantic being rested itself right beside Kumogakure no Sato, allowing for all to visit free of the mundane travels one usually associated with going to the Island Turtle.

As the Sasaki expected, tourists and shinobi alike flocked towards the island. Each and everyone single one sought to grasp at the reins of the historical island. Kyousuke, though he wouldn't care to admit, was one of the many that rushed towards the Turtle upon news of its arrival. It was, after all, a rare event that brought about hundreds, if not thousands, of omens and prophecies from Kumogakure’s spiritual minds. Specifically, though, Kyousuke looked to meditate at the waterfalls that was once said to be the cause of B’s excellent control and relationship with his bijuu. Unfortunately, though, upon arriving to the landmark, it became apparent that his hopes of a peaceful morning would be shot down like Icaros.

What was once a landmark for eager shinobi to train and wash away the demons within, became a tourist spot complete with an unfathomably long line. Civilians took photos with their children, each imitating a meditative pose that brought about a searing dose of anger within the genin. All of it was captured by a professional photographer that sought to increase the size of his bank account. The young swordsman cursed under his breath, the whole situation reeked with the foul stench of opportunism. Aiming to give the photographer a piece of his mind, Kyousuke marched straight ahead towards the man. A towering figure, though, stopped the shinobi in his tracks. Weilding a massive greatsword a ridiculously tall man wearing a bright pink robe rested his hand on the Sasaki’s chest, pushing him back. “No one gets close, the master is at work.” The man husked.

Instinctively the heir reached for the twin pair of katanas strapped and sheathed at his waist. The sparks of anger within him beckoned for the blood of this nameless swordsman that had dare place a hand on him, yet his brain resisted. “It appears today is your lucky day.” The boy remarked, eyeing the man down. These were hallowed grounds, and one dared not disrespect Genbu by meaninglessly spilling blood on his back. The golden eyed boy took a deep breath, flaring his nostrils as he slowly calmed himself. Luck was on this photographer's side as it seemed there was nothing the Sasaki could do but leave the waterfalls empty handed.

Not intending to leave the island without at least having fulfilled his goal of meditation though, the Sasaki made his way to what he had believed to be the only isolated spot left on the whole island, the peak of Mt. Genbu. Mt. Genbu, as it was so sterilely named, was one of the hundreds of mountains that sat atop the Island Turtle’s back, specifically it was the tallest one of the whole bunch. Though it had potential to become a tourist spot much alike the waterfalls, few sought to make the hike to its peak and fewer still could survive the harsh and thin atmosphere of the mountain.

Slowly, the boy trekked upwards the steep slope of the mountain’s foot. As he climbed, he felt the air around him growing thinner and thinner. With each step it steadily became harder to breathe, yet the Sasaki simply grinned, welcoming the challenge that tested his mental fortitude. Surely the unwelcoming conditions of the mountain deterred those of weak wills to reach the mountaintop. An hour passed and eventually Kyousuke reached the summit. He gasped for air, breathing heavily, yet a few calm breaths returned his spiked heart rate back to normal. He looked around, checking if anyone else had made the climb, at the very moment it seemed that he was awarded a moment of isolation.

He moved towards the edge of a cliff, overlooking the island and the civilians down below. He sat, legs crossed atop each other, and lay his two swords at his sides. Closing his eyes, he drifted off peacefully in meditation, until something would interrupt his solace.

Genbu was once a glorious paradise, Jaes could remember tells of other Tsuyoi that had traveled out to train retelling stories of the large Ferocious Beasts that roamed the back of the Giant Island Turtle. All Jaes wanted to do when he grew up was travel the lands of Kaminari no Kuni in search of the great island turtle, to test his abilities against some of the great monsters that inhabited the back of the mythical creature. To the young genin's disappointment the great turtle was not that hard to find nor did it seem that its location was a secret, as the path to it was marked and many people were travelling the path either towards it or away from it. When Jaes first laid eyes upon the magnifacent creature, his heart broke at the sight. The more the young genin saw the more his blood began to boil, Gift shops and Tour guides, families with little children being so loud and obnoxious. As Jaes got closer to the island he saw a tour group about to depart and snuck in at the back to listen to how this magnifesent creature became a tourist attraction. It seemed that this was all the doing of the Raikage Hastur who drove the creatures from Genbu's back so that the creatures would not harm the citizens of Kumogakure, Jaes made a mental note to have some words with the Raikage, that was of course if he could get an audience with the man, he had tried on many occasions however the Raikage was always far to busy to meet with some lowly genin according to his assistant. Jaes soon left the group as they headed for the falls of truth, there was other places the boy heard stories of, perhaps there were still a few monsters left on this island for the young Tsuyoi to fight and test his metal as so many Tsuyoi had done before. Jaes' search was to no avail, every spot he looked was barren of creatures, only tourist and their guides. Jaes saw Mt. Genbu in the distance, it was the largest mountain on the turtle's back and most of the Tsuyoi would travel there to train in the high alitude after treking through the island and battling it's beasts. If he could not battle one of the beast's maybe he could at least train at the high alitude for a little while, unless tourist had ruined it as well.

The trek up to the base of the mountain was less than thrilling, other than doing his best to avoid tour groups out of fear he would be drugged back into one, the young genin began up the path of the mountain happy to see that it was not that worn from travel meaning not many had travelled up it. The young genin smiled as he began walking up the path looking out across the island, even though he was sad that all of the creatures had been driven from the island it was still the most beautiful sight the boy had seen in his life, and the further up he travelled the more beauty that he saw. Managing to control his breathing the higher he got, taking in slow breaths so that his breathing and heart rate would regulate with the higher alitude. As he reached the top of the mountain, his heart sank slightly at the sight of another person atop it, however his reaction to the sight of the other person quickly changed when an idea popped into his head. If the boy chose his words right he might be able to convince this other person to a friendly spar atop the mountain, after all what better way to train then against another person.

Clearing his throat with a soft cough to announce his presence to the other Jaes would speak, "I did not think anyone else would of come up here." Jaes would wait for a reply from the other boy before stating, "My name is Jaes, I actual came up here to train. I was wondering if you would be interested in a friendly spar? At this alitude it would be a true test to our abilities." Though he had planned to work up to asking about the spar, the truth was Jaes was always a very blunt person and did not always think his words through. Although he hoped the other boy would agree to his purposal, he would not press the issue and leave the boy be if he so desired, If the boy agreed to the spar then Jaes would assume his Shuurai Tekken Do Defensive Stance. Crouching low to the ground so that his knees were bent at a seventy-five degree angle, turning his body so that he was facing his opponent from his left with his right side behind him making himself a smaller target. His feet would be spread wide, his left foot in front of him pointed towards his opponent with his right foot behind him pointed at a ninty degree angle of his left foot. His left hand in front of him with the palm open facedown and at mid chest level while his right hand hung low to his abdomen just above his belt also with it's palm open however facing Jaes' abdomen. Jaes would then simply wait for his opponent to make a move and perpare himself to counter it, as he knew he could considering there was no way the other boy could out match him.

The boy's ears twitched, his Matagi shingan alerting him of the presence of another slowly creeping up the steep mountain path. His eyes remained closed, however. He had come here to seek a moment of clarity and cared little for those that sought to interrupt his peace. For a moment he would remain as he was, closing off his sensory jutsu to pretend as if he were alone, meditating on the edge of the mountain. Sounds of footsteps reverberated on the mountain's peak, making it hard to keep the ruse of lonesome within his mind. And as if striking a nail on the coffin on his self imposed illusion, the newly arrived genin announced his presence with a faint cough. Slowly, the young swordsman turned his head to the side of his shoulder, a golden pupil piercing unto the stranger from the corner of the Sasaki’s eye. The genin began by making small talk, regarding that he had expected no one to be in the summit and pausing to wait for Kyousuke’s reply. “Neither did I.” He would say simply. Though he had been bothered, the heir couldn't deny that he was impressed that someone else had possessed the will strong enough to climb atop the mountain.

Kyousuke had hoped that he would at least get something in return for the meditation that eluded him, and to his pleasure he was offered just that. The genin simply introduced himself as Jaes and then immediately asked Kyousuke for a spar. The heir smirked, eyes almost lighting up in excitement. The boy was blunt, but Kyousuke appreciated and even respected the fact that he went straight to the point. Slowly he would rise from his seat, taking the two swords laid down on his sides and attaching their scabbards back to his waist. He pivoted, slowly turning towards the boy, and giving him a nod. “I accept. However,” He would say, walking forwards to exit the cliff and unsheathing Shusui, held in his left hand. “As you can see, I am a swordsman and seeing as you don't have a weapon on your person, I'm guessing you aren't.” Now with his feet touching stable grounds, he would point Shusui’s edge to his would be opponent. “If you have no qualms with that, then I would be more than happy to test our abilities.” He announced, slowly separating his other blade, Kitetsu, from its scabbard. Though the boy was already in a defensive stance, Kyousuke waited for his response, a simple nod or words of agreement would clear his conscience of the potential harm that awaited his opponent.

Had the boy agreed to the match, Kyousuke would aim to close the distance with his regular speed, not rushing at all. It seemed as if both of them were close quarters combatants, which meant there would be no need for him to burst and chase after a running opposition. The Sasaki was far taller than his opponent, and the added reach of his blades meant it would be difficult for the genin to close the distance between them. Entering the range of his blades, Kyousuke started with a downward cut, slicing Shusui from left to right with an attack aimed at Jaes’ sideward thigh. His right blade was prepared to immediately thrust had the boy decided to jump his attack instead of moving backwards. The slice was meant to force the boy out of his already established stance and set up Kyousuke’s next sequence of attack.

The young swordsman weaved Shusui’s momentum to immediately face the blade back whence it came. He entered kicking range, confident that the boy's movement wouldn't allow for a stable kick. From his hip, Shusui would slash the other way, this time from left to right, now aiming to cut at the mid section and specifically looking to track Jaes had he moved to the left of Kyousuke. At the same time as Shusui’s movement, Kitetsu would dash forward to thrust at the chest of Jaes, aiming to pierce his skin and cover the front. Predicting an attempt to circle to his left side, Kyousuke prepare his front right leg to swiftly push back the opponent with a sidekick to the torso.

Jaes was more than pleased that the other boy agreed to the spar, and when the boy drew his first blade a smile formed on the Tsuyoi's face. "Don't worry about me," Jaes would reply in response to the boy's question of using them, as the other boy began to move towards him Jaes would form the half snake hand seal with his right hand. Instantly Raiton sprang from both of his hands as his fist closed around the stream and let it drop to the ground as the chains continued to extend coiled up at his feet until they were each five feet in length. Jaes would wait until the boy moved in close and began his downward strike before he made his move, with a flick of his left hand as he pushed backwards avoiding the attack from the boy while also using that momentum to try and wrap the chain around the boys blade that he had just swung.

If his attempt to wrap the blade with the chain was successful then Jaes would pull the chain taunt in an attempt to pull the blade from it's masters grip, while bringing his right hand around to strike at the boy's exposed back with it's own chain. If his attempt to wrap the blade was unsuccessful then the boy would continue his defense stance while watching the boy for the slightest movement.

The young swordsman’s opponent began to conjure a whip of raiton chakra in his hands, lightning acting as his foe’s weapon. Though they posed an intimidating sight at first, they soon became nothing more than props as soon as Kyousuke closed the range. The close distance became his ally, allowing his blades to strike true before the whips could ever hope to catch up. He proceeded with his offensive strikes, his first being deflected by a whip, something that he had thought to be impossible due to the range of his swords in relation to the longer and less up front oriented whips. Though in focusing on Shusui, the boy’s opponent failed to address his other attack. Kitetsu dug deep into the man’s chest, piercing three centimeters just above the center of the other genin’s diaphragm. Shusui, wrapped in lightning, the opponent sought to pull him desperately, only digging Kyousuke’s other blade deeper within his chest. Suddenly the heir pulled out his blade, anticipating the Tsuyoi’s next movement. Immediately he motioned Kitetsu to slash at his left, cutting at the lower right arm of Jaes, aiming to end his jutsu, before he could strike the whip towards Kyousuke’s back. This time, he was sure that his blade would strike first, having been already at Jaes’ chest it only required a simple movement at close range, compared to the longer whip that even delayed before it would strike.

Had Kitetsu slashed at the opponent's arm successfully, Kyousuke sought to end the fight then and there, using the momentum of the sideward slash to curve around his head and cut a downward arc on Jaes’ left shoulder, seeking to dissipate his jutsu. Had all his blows landed, he was sure the battle would be over. Had he been correct and the opponent left to scramble undefended, his left hind leg would rise and crash itself on the Tsuyoi’s chest, aiming to push the opponent of balance and send him to the ground.

Whatever would happen next, whether his opponent would defend or be struck down, all fight would cease. The voice of an angered shinobi, one complete with the village's flak jacket and headband shouted angered. "Hey! No fighting in this island, this is sacred grounds!" The person's voice would snap the heir from the fight. He had forgotten that such actions were illegal in this area. "We'll continue this another time." He spoke, mind too occupied on not being branded a criminal on his first few weeks back in his home village.
