After Some Vacation A Dissapointment...?

[Galerimato]

Shibuname followed Takeshi before he left he wrote below "BOOM" he wrote "Shibuname is great!".

Nervousness was getting to him, his Genin Rank wasn't the source of it, but his clan matters where he had heard of how the Nagahiro unlock their bloodline that's what had him on his toes."They are already ready for me so i guess ill go after the class is over."Shibuname looked around as he walked out of the area this was a sacred place to him but he did blow up a tree there he was still grinning trying to hide the fact that he was nervous, walking alongside Takeshi they re-entered the academy.

It had been such a long time since Takeshi had returned to this spot, he had made himself a promise that he would come to this clearing every rank of his shinobi career. After all this spot was pretty much where it all had started, that and his friendship with his friend Shibuname. Their record stood at 1-0. "I have a feeling he isn't going to let that slide" he thought to himself and he chuckled. It really had been a long time since he had seen him, rumors of the Nagare attacks had been the topic of conversation at the Ronin family dinner table and he hoped Shibuname wasn't caught up in any danger.

"He's probably fine" he assured himself. "He has probably ranked up and is kicking all sorts of ninja ass, while I continue to be stuck at this rank. It's alright though, rank doesn't necessarily facilitate power, i'll prove it. Plus I've got a few new moves up my sleeve"


​Takeshi looked around the clearing, miscellaneous tools were still scattered about, the spots that were victim of exploding tags were now starting to contain life again. "It's good to see this all remains but this was a friendly spar, I couldn't imagine the long term effects of war" He continued to look around until his eyes came upon the tree with the words BOOM and "Shibuname is great!" and he started to laugh.

[Galerimato]

The cold breeze hugged Shibuname as he buried himself in the deep realm that was his mind. There was a lot in his mind lately, this was usual for him, the village attack was going on and there was little that he could do even while being ANBU. That was one of his worries, he felt useless as ANBU even if it was a wonderful thing for him. It didn’t help that he couldn’t tell anyone about it. The only one allowed to know and witness his awesomeness was his most loyal friend of all, one that almost never left his side, Enyo his pet raven. Their relationship had built up quite a lot and they were becoming a deadly combo. Thoughts of how they met and what they’ve done together raced through his mind, which in turn made him remember one of his other friends, Takeshi. It had been a long time since they had seen each other and they had promised one another that they would keep in touch. Well a lot of things were happening in his life so Shibuname decided that it was time to go see his friend.

By some weird maneuver of fate Shibuname felt the need to go and visit the place where it all began. The battlefield where a strong friendship was formed. Each step brought a wave of memories to his mind. Everything was coming back to him, he had nothing to do but smile and keep going. Enyo did not scout ahead; there was really no danger in this part of the Wind Country. It really has been a while since you two have seen each other right? Shibuname nodded at his bird, that was all the answer the bird needed, the smile gave away his feelings. While he may have been sad at first those feelings were certainly gone now. He’s here, wow I really didn’t think I would find him here. Shibuname patted Enyo on the head. The bird rose to the sky and headed towards Takeshi making his land on the boy’s shoulder similar to the way he did with Shibuname.

Slowly Shibuname stepped into the scene, he was wearing the official uniform of the Nagare Shinobi. He was wearing a black cloak that hid most of his attire but Takeshi would still be able to recognize it. When he saw his friend, Shibuname showed his face, the headband glinting in the sun echoing the shine that came from his smile it only lasted a small instant as the clouds allowed before they hid the sun once again. The now ANBU Shibuname applauded two times slowly and approached Takeshi with his arms open for a hug. Enyo would fly away as soon as the Konoki Nin opened his arms. This site was something incredibly memorable and more memories were about to be made.

[Slushie]

Takeshi could feel that in the air that there was someone else nearby. "No way, could it be....." Feelings of happiness, hope, and joy flooded Takeshi's mind a he turned around to face the person who had come to the same clearing. The figure looked different than Takeshi could remember. "Was I followed? Remnant from the chuunin exam perhaps? time to be on my guard" Takeshi remained calm as the figure sent its bird toward him, and his muscles flexed preparing for battle when suddenly the face of the past presented itself.

Takeshi immediately relaxed and smiled, the approaching bird suddenly didn't matter as it perched itself on his shoulder. Takeshi would run his finger over the birds back repeatedly until Shibuname was close enough for Takeshi to complete the hug. Takeshi hugged him with all of the force his genin level strength would allow, which was quite a bit.

"Shibu! it is so great to see you! it seems like it's been forever! I see you have brought a friend along with you, you have to tell me all about it, I'm assuming you have ranked up due to the attire, how is that going? Oh and the invasion rumors, are they true? Is everything alright?"

Takeshi had oh so many questions to ask and there was plenty of time for them to be answered. His huge grin wasn't going to go anywhere anytime soon, he hadn't felt this happy in a while and he wanted to enjoy it as long as possible.

[Galerimato]

A feeling of happiness made it's way through Shibuname as he hugged his old friend. He needed this. Shibuname took a step back, his happiness highly apparent on his face. Takeshi had several questions and was clearly as excited to see Shibuname as he was. Enyo slowly made his way back to Shibuname's shoulder and observed his master's old friend. A lot has really happened, I don't know where to begin to tell you. Shibuname looked at his chest and arms, pushing his cloak back to show his uniform more clearly. The first is that I have achieved the rank of Chuunin. Then Takeshi mentioned the invasion, Shibuname even forgot that he asked about Enyo. He lowered his head and shook it side to side. sigh Yes it's true. I really don't know much myself just the fact that I can't go there now even if I want to... After looking at the ground for a couple of seconds he lifted his head and looked at his friend. But none of that here, there are better things to tell I'm sure of it. I can't be the only one out having cool adventures, what have you been up to?

The invasion was a sensitive topic for Shibu mainly because he felt completely useless right now, the fact that he was ANBU didn't help at all. But that was something that Takeshi could not know not matter how much Shibuname wanted to show him the cool mask and awesome sword he got. Oh old friend, this world is not what we imagined when we were at the academy. There are evils far worse than our wildest nightmares... Even with these thoughts Shibuname looked happy on the outside. He was in the presence of a friend, there was almost nothing that could ruin such moment.

[Slushie]

"Chunnin? Gah i knew it! Man I'm pretty jealous, i'll be there soon just you wait!"

Takeshi could tell by the way Shibu had reacted to the invasion question and decided not to pursue details if it was going to ruin this fantastic reunion of friends. "So he is chuunin, bah I wanted to reach it first, I blame the exams, we were there longer than we should have been" Takeshi nodded to himself.

"My adventures? Well I did some digging around my family records and took a trip around the forest to do some activities and meet other family member. I've taken several trips to Hyouga and on my last one I was recruited onto a 3 man team lead by the jounin Jashinru Kagemaru. He's pretty cool, his wife is a bit off though. Most recently I literally just got back from the chuunin exams. Now you still haven't told me about your new friend here"

Takeshi would motion at the bird on the Chuunin's shoulder. "I have a feeling that bird is part of his new combat arsenal. Something I'm going to have to watch out for." He had a feeling that there was an inevitable spar around the corner and he was a little excited. However the tables were a little tipped and were not in his favor but that wouldn't discourage him. The information Takeshi had learned about genjutsu was still fresh in his mind, it was one of the few things he kept repeating to himself during the exams just in case he found himself in combat.

[Galerimato]

Takeshi mainly reacted to the mention of the Chuunin rank, it was funny so Shibuname laughed a bit and patted him on the shoulder. I know you will. Shibuname noticed that Takeshi nodded. Sudden realization I bet, at least he’s good at reading people… Now Takeshi’s story was very interesting to Shibuname specially since he mentioned Jashinru and his wife, Miyuki. That’s very nice I recently had contact with people from my clan as well I’ve been given a important mission to carry out. Oh and did you say Jashinru and his wife Miyuki? I know them both, Jashinru used to occupy the position of Chaotic Knight in my organization before it was passed down to me. However now he holds a higher position. As for Miyuki I met her when we were both in the academy. There was a short pause, a lot of memories were swimming into his mind. From his previous encounter with Takeshi, with his first spar with Miyuki and the day he was ascended to Chaotic Knight. Those were all very special days in his life.

Oh, you mean Enyo? Well he’s my most loyal friend. I found him in the woods, I rather not say the full story though. The bird quickly glanced at Shibu, his eyes showed a bit of sadness with a touch of forgiveness. The chuunin looked at his bird and nodded with a warm smile on his face. Nothing more happened between them. However Shibuname was now smiling as if he was excited or he found something funny. It was actually a mixture of both. Are you seizing me up Takeshi? Can’t say I don’t blame you. I’m also itching for a fight…

[Slushie]

"Yea? Well it's good to know we both know the same people haha, Miyuki is the new kage of frost country I believe. She made an appearance at the konoki ball this year, I didn't see you there this year, did you go?"

Takeshi was a little disheartened that he didn't get to hear the full story of how Shibu had met his most loyal friend, "Finding him in the woods? Hm I suppose that will have to do for now" Takeshi was thinking of ways to counter a bird attack, this was most definitely going to be a learning experience for him. Takeshi ran his middle and index fingers across his headband, moving them along slowly and allowing them to dance in and out of the engraved konoki symbol. His mind went back to all of the trials and tests he had undergone. This would be another test, to prove to himself he was ready to combat the evils the shinobi world had to throw at him. His itch to fight was too great and after Shibuname had answered his question about the ball he would respond with the appropriate comment and walk to the opposite edge of the clearing.

"We both know what's going to happen here. A friendly spar of course, we've been away from each other for too long not to have a spar. Besides this will be a true test of my abilities, your going to see me at my best so get ready Shibu."

Takeshi would quickly check his tools and such, he would attach two exploding tags to two kunai and set them back in their respective places and wait until his old friend had signaled he was ready. "I'm not going to wait, I plan on making the first move this time I have to keep sure to keep him distracted, I can't let up. Remember what you have learned... avoid the eyes of a genjutsu user."

[Galerimato]

Shibuname nodded at the mention of Miyuki’s position, he was well aware of the changes in the world. No, I didn’t go this time. Enyo lightly pecked Shibuname in the ear. It was a bit distracting. There was change in the air, Shibuname could feel it. This was getting more serious. Takeshi caressed his headband slowly. Well we both knew this had to happen. It’s a good thing too cause I’m bursting with excitement. Then Takeshi said it, the challenge, only a friendly spar of course. Shibuname nodded and pulled up his scowl, hiding his face again giving him a more serious look. I wouldn’t have it any other way. Without waiting for a signal Enyo flew up high and let out a great cry. Shibuname ran his thumb across his lower lip and adjust his headband with his first two fingers.

Takeshi wasn’t waiting around either; he tagged two kunais and placed them back into his pouch. Can’t blame him, I love doing that too. Shibuname bowed and took a step back. Ready when you are. Shibuname didn’t take out any weapons nor did he move at all. He simply watched and heard. Enyo was doing the same from above, circling the sky patiently awaiting his own opportunity. How big would the destruction be this time? Shibuname could barely make much destruction since his Genjutsu don’t affect the environment. It’s going to be interesting this time. I can’t wait to see how much power he has and how much he is willing to use against me. Shibuname heard a maniacal laugh in the background but paid it no mind.

[Slushie]

Takeshi watched the bird fly up high. "Ah yes, i've already got a plan for you" He observed as Shibu covered his face and adjusted his headband, making his eyes something that Takeshi could focus on, but he was going to try and avoid them at all costs. There were many strategies running through Takeshi mind but he had to pick his carefully, "This battle is only going to last as long as my chakra does, conservation is key and I don't know if I have enough pills to out last. This is going to be tough."

Takeshi had decided on his plan of action. It was go time, as soon as Shibuname would finish his bow Takeshi would also bow. Takeshi would toss a smoke bomb in between the two of them and right away would throw one of the pouches filled with 10 shuriken toward Shibu, immediately following that pouch was a kunai tagged with an exploding tag set for impact. When the kunai would hit the pouch it would send the flurry of shuriken in all different directions, similar to a shrapnel bomb.

Takeshi would wait until the explosion had occured and he was safe out of harms way of any stray back firing shuriken and would quickly charge Shibuname, running up to him and quickly drawing his sword via Battou and would follow up with quick yet strong strikes, if he Shibuname didn't react in a way that would deter Takeshi then he would continue his barrage of slashes.

[Galerimato]

Takeshi answered Shibuname’s bow with another bow, this was after all the formal way of starting a friendly battle. A lot of time had passed since their last fight, during that time they both changed a lot. They were going to realize that now. For instance Shibuname noticed that his opponent was far slower than he remembered. It was rather easy to track his movements. He began the fight by throwing a smoke bomb. But Shibuname could also see that his hand moved to pick something else. A smoke bomb start? This guy is like me in more ways than I thought. When the bomb exploded and the smoke began to fill the area Shibuname heard something. Weapons together? No way it must be a bag of weapons. There is only one reason to throw a bag of weapons into the air… Shibuname jumped backwards several times until he was out of the smoke range. When the tag exploded he was able to see the shuriken rain around the area by that time the smoke wasn’t an obstacle so he was able to easily avoid any that came his way.

It’s my turn now. Shibuname was ready to start his counter-attack. But suddenly Takeshi emerged from out of the smoke and drew his sword very quickly. That kind of speed? His hands say one thing but his legs say another… There was no time to lose, Shibuname unsealed Jiki Buredo from Ring Weapon. By now Takeshi was on him slashing savagely. Shibuname met every strike with his own blade. There was little attempt in offense from Shibuname, he was seizing up Takeshi. But after evading a rain of shuriken he had to do some damage. He used Illusion Blade to cast Mist Servant Technique. 20 clones would surround them unless Takeshi avoided looking at the blade. The clones wouldn’t do anything for now unless Takeshi attacks them. Let’s see how much you’ve change my friend.

[Slushie]

Takeshi grinned as it seemed he may have caught Shibuname off guard but he still have enough time to draw his weapon and meet Takeshi's offensive strikes. "Damn these slow legs, if I was quicker then this might have ended rather quickly" Since Takeshi was trying to avoid meeting Shibuname's gaze he of course was looking everywhere else, unfortunately that also meant his blade. His eyes widened when he saw the quick appearance of 20 clones. His mind quickly went back to their first spar. "Is this the same technique? only one way to find out.." Takeshi would quickly stop his barrage, let go of his weapon and quickly use Mokuton: Koi Mokusei no Ryouboku [Wood Release: Dense Wood Beams](C). He would slam his hands into the ground and as he moved downward to slam them down he would activate his bloodline, a wooden arm would shoot out of the top of his head and try to grab Shibu's sword in case he swung at Takeshi as well as trying to keep him there to get hit by the jutsu.

When he slammed his hands to the ground wooden beams would shoot out in all directions, hitting some of the clones and if Shibu didn't move he would most definitely get hit as well. When the technique was done he would grab his sword and take a defensive stance, watching the clones to see if they were actual clones or those oily black fluid like ones from their last spar. Takeshi kept his head up. "If I lose sight of him who knows when i'll see him again." Whether the clones were real or not didn't bother Takeshi, the fact they were clones told him they couldn't do much to him.

OOC:

Jutsu:
Description: The user will perform sneaky handseals and then take the chance of a target in his close range. Flashily, the user will slam his palms into the ground causing several moderately thin beams to shoot out of the soil in many directions around the user. This will give the user a bit of protection while assaulting the target. This jutsu can be used ultimately on a descending target. The shoots of wood will retreat a few moments after use.

Bloodline link: Zekiroi

Take note, this is the new bloodline, not the one on the profile, as such this means Takeshi only has stage 1 unlocked.

[Galerimato]

During their clash Takeshi looked at Jiki Buredo causing the Genjutsu to activate. The distraction was successful as Takeshi threw down his blade to take on the clones. This was a good opportunity to get in an attack but Shibuname was smarter than that. There is no reason for him to throw down his blade like that unless he has some sort of plan to avoid my attack or get in a good counter. When his opponent threw the blade he jumped backwards and waited with sword in hand. A wooden sword appeared out of Takeshi’s head. And there’s the defense. Seconds later wooden beams shot out in all directions hitting several of the clones. The clones would turn into oil and reform again. Shibuname would do his best to avoid the wood if it came towards him.

His opponent also took a defensive stance probably waiting for the clones to react to his attacks. Let’s see what you can do, I’m playing your game enjoy it while you can cause sooner or later the table is going to turn… All of the clones charged him, they were everywhere with Jiki Buredo in hand as well. Shibuname however made no effort to move at all. He was simply watching how his opponent handled himself. The bird was enjoying an even better view from the sky, he knew his time to act would be near but for now he must learn how the boy moves as well.

[Slushie]

Takeshi deactivated his bloodline shortly after he took his stance. He was very serious about conserving chakra. He took note of the way the clones put themselves back together. "So it is the same technique, well then I won't waste my chakra. As long as I have my eyes on the real one nothing else matters." He was a little intimidated when they all started running toward him with that weapon drawn, he had to act quickly. He wanted to smile but he knew that was his tell. "If he knows I'm onto something he'll change his tactic, we don't want that." He would maintain his defensive stance and if the clones moved in for the attack he would use Karakuri Ken Tentou [Evade and Counter] and would do a back flip over the clones behind him and would slash at the clones. "If I remember correctly these shouldn't last for very long... they are a bit of an annoyance though, don't want to waste my chakra trying to kai out of this though."

It seemed Takeshi was a bit stuck, he needed to close the space between himself and Shibuname. "The clones do mean that he is going to have a bit of a hard time seeing me though so I guess we are at an impasse." He would watch Shibuname as well as the clones, even keeping a casual eye on the bird. "Oh the bird..... birdy birdy birdy....I'm done waiting" Takeshi would run around the circle of clones to get to Shibuname, once he had a clear view he would use Ha [Edge of a Sword] and swing in the air with his sword at an angle that would blind Shibu. With his other hand he would throw two kunai, toward Shibuname, one directly at him and the second one above him in case he would try to jump up out of the way. If he wasn't interrupted, once he would get in range he would repeat his flurry of strikes from earlier this time putting more strength behind each strike.

[Galerimato]

As each clone began his strike Takeshi used the same move putting an end to each one of them. Of course they would regenerate. Shibuname simply watched, amused at the way his opponent took care of his situation. This is my favorite tactic, he has seen this and he clearly sees me standing here it doesn’t take a genius to figure out what’s going on. The thing is how will he attack the real Shibuname? It was as if his opponent read his thoughts. Takeshi ran around the clones with his blade in hand. The blade was in a specific angle that made the light from the sun bounce of it and hit Shibuname in the eyes blinding him. No reason to freak out, I have ears and I have Enyo. Shibuname closed his eyes and focused on sound. He could hear the sound of Takeshi’s footsteps, he also heard the two kunai being thrown. Two? They won’t be in the same direction. He’s seen me avoid all his attacks with jumps so he believes I will use the same tactic. Shibuname quickly rolled to the left. When he stood up and opened his eyes he saw Takeshi charging at him with his blade again.

I can play this game some more. Though if any you’re just looking for a way to catch me with those arms. Shibuname assumed his defensive position, which was basically holding his sword diagonally in front of him, and waited for Takeshi to meet him. They would clash again, Shibuname meeting his opponents strikes each time. There’s more power in them now. Shibuname was paying more attention to Takeshi’s body than the sword he was waiting for the arms to come out. Enyo was still circling over-head but he was beginning to fly lower. Shibuname also noticed this. This is fun isn’t it? I am playing your way for now. However I sense a change of pace in the near future…

[Slushie]

Takeshi would use his strength to try and close the gap between them by locking weapons. "You sense that too eh? You shouldn't play with your opponent, it's not very fair you know" With their weapons locked Takeshi would activate his bloodline again and three sharp wooden spikes would shoot out of his left arm, forearm, and wrist at extreme speeds toward the Chuunin's chest/abdomen area. When the spikes reached their target Takeshi would use the element of surprise to break the clash and cut the three spikes from his arm and immediately after he would use his left hand to try to palm thrust one of the spikes deeper into Shibuname before he would get away.

If Shibuname got away he would compose himself. "Well there goes half my chakra, so much for conservation.. this bloodline stuff is really taking its toll. . . I need a bigger pool or something." He would then sheathe his weapon and charge at Shibuname. "Let's see how you handle hand to hand friend"

[Galerimato]

Playing? No battle is a game, I am simply observing and planning. Do not confuse patience with optimism. They were still going at it, but not for long. Takeshi did exactly what Shibuname had expected, but it was a bit different than what he thought. Instead of just one spike, three spikes shot out from the Genin’s body and quite fast too. Shibuname only had a second to react, he simply ducked and held Jiki Buredo above him. He was looking up and saw the spikes hit the air. Wow that would’ve been highly inconvenient. He was in a bit of a difficult position right now, being open to several other attacks. Shibuname fell to the ground and rolled back for five feet. Now he was up again with his sword in hand. I have to admit that was pretty impressive. Time for the majors then. At that moment, Enyo moved back his wings and began to fall towards Takeshi with impressive speed. Shibuname smiled and ran using his full speed. He was used to doing this, so he was well aware of the possibility of being attacked. Shibuname would look back very frequently to see if his opponent tried something. But Takeshi still had to deal with Enyo.

Assuming nothing stopped his trajectory, Shibuname would get ready for his attack. He would search for his opponent. The clones were no longer in the field so he had a clear view. Once Takeshi was in sight Shibuname will seal Jiki Buredo back into his ring and unseal Ghost from his backpack. One Shadow Arrow was loaded into the crossbow and fired at the target. Shibuname used the scope to get a clear and better aim at his target. Once that first arrow was fired Shibuname ran a few feet to his right, loaded a wooden arrow and aimed at Takeshi through the scope again. However this time he did not fire, he simply stood there waiting for a reaction. Of course Enyo would be the one fighting the boy now, not for long though. The bird was a distraction not an opponent.

Takeshi had expected Shibu to drop to the ground and he would have met his end if Takeshi had decided to send a spike from his leg straight at the Chuunin. "No…. no I don't care about winning that much.. " When the Chuunin had dodged the dropping sword and started running away Takeshi's mind drifted to the bird, a quick glance allowed him the information he needed. "Aww yea, now it's time for the pet to play" Takeshi would toss a smoke bomb down hiding himself from view and as Shibuname ran, he would toss his second exploding tag toward the ground in the Chuunin's direction "I don't plan on hitting, I just want to keep him busy, besides he's really quick..". he would then duck down attempting to avoid any projectiles or bird attacks since he couldn't see, create 2 clones, hiding exploding tags in each one, set for detonation. Takeshi and a clone would run in opposite directions in a circular path toward Shibuname while the second clone stood back in the smoke while it cleared waiting for the pet bird. "will he fall for it? probably not. but you never know unless you try" thought the genin.


Takeshi wouldn't worry about the clone waiting for the bird it was the other one he had to be careful of, this was literally a suicide tactic and really depended on luck. The clone waiting by the bird would just keep watching Shibu as Takeshi did, if the bird or a bolt hit it then the clone would explode. If Takeshi and his clone were able to make it to the Chuunin then Takeshi would draw his attention With a quick slash via Battou while the clone did the job of exploding right behind Shibu. Takeshi would use Shibu as a shield from the explosion.

[Galerimato]

Shibuname’s plan was working out well. Enyo on the other side was not doing so good. Takeshi seems to have noticed the bird and threw a smoke bomb to conceal himself and his actions. When Enyo saw this he tried to stop and fly up again but he still ended pretty close to Takeshi for a moment, also surrounded in the smoke screen. Unless Takeshi did something to the bird he will rise back up and take his place in the sky. Shibuname on the other hand was sticking to his plan despite Takeshi’s action. The exploding tag was seen by Shibuname with enough time to react and avoid it. It wasn’t aimed at me, he’s just distracting me, but why? But that question was answered now.

Takeshi emerged from the smoke with a clone next to him and they were running towards Shibuname apparently planning to strike him from different sides. Two quick arrows? Yeah that seems like a good plan Shibuname fired two wooden arrows one at each Takeshi, doing his best to load the crossbow quickly. One more arrow was loaded this one was a shadow arrow. However Shibuname did not stay put. He moved away with crossbow in hand. Now he did stay, after he gained some more distance. It’s time to play my game! Shibuname looked through his scope and fired the shadow arrow at the remaining Takeshi. This is assuming his previous attack wasn’t avoided. If so there will be two Takeshi’s on the field. One was running at him and another was back where the bombs were thrown. Enyo noticed the plan in action. He knew that being a simple bird he had no way of standing against the real Takeshi and that alone was enough for him to not fight the man below him. Instead the bird kept a watchful eye around the field.

[Slushie]

OOC: rp on your birthday? for shame man get out and have fun!


Takeshi was too busy trying to avoid anything in the smokescreen to notice the bird when it came into his vicinity so his plan remained the same. The clone and Takeshi would be running toward the chuunin in a serpentine/circular pattern. "Crossbow… that's new" Takeshi would pull out his sword via Battou and use Ha multiple times to try and blind the Chuunin more than once before getting his shots off. While he did this the clone that was standing around would begin his run at the Chuunin as well. "He knows which one is real so might as well"


While the other clone played catch up if Takeshi's attempts to prevent the shots from being fired were a success then Takeshi would stick his sword in the ground, jump in the air tossing several shuriken at Shibuname in order to keep his attention away from the ground. Meanwhile the clone would be closing its distance and if it got close enough to Shibu then Takeshi would throw another shuriken at the clone, setting off the explosion. While Takeshi would land in the middle of the field next to his sword and take it out of the ground. The other clone would be trying to intercept Shibu if he ran away from the first clone and again Takeshi would throw a shuriken at it if the Chuunin was going to be in range.
