Raph V Blitz!

Walking into the training area it was a quiet day today but Blitz seemed fixated on training with it being empty he decided to wait until someone decided to show up to train and live up to the name shinobi. Being at six feet tall Blitz had a brown complexion with dark blue hair and similar eye color to match he was indeed a sore thumb sticking out. Wearing his usual attire of a blue and white kimono and the standard shinobi footwear he was only equipped with his fathers blade upon his waist. He basked in the sunlight silently as he could only think of one way to grow stronger without causing any more stress or bringing out the unneeded tension from his counterpart. Partly cloudy skies on this day as the sun would casually be blocked off by a large cloud the silence in the air as the sunlight upon the ground would slowly begin to be concealed by darkness. Slowly swallowing the light leaving nothing but a dark aura in its place the area would indeed grow colder as a tiny breeze pushed its way through the village it felt as if the sky was going to cry on this day. Or was this just the weather taking form and shape for something more eventful to come. Going off to sit on an empty bench. He closed his eyes and began to ponder about the life he was living and how he needed to do more in this life to please the future ahead of him. Basking in the silence he could only chuckle.

“Thinking is dangerous if you’re doing it. Don’t end up killing us.”

From within his mind the thoughts of the other made its way intruding in on the thoughts of the male rattling the ideas in his mind but regardless he had no choice but to continue the battles or missions. Growing stronger needed sacrifice and he paid the price a long time ago growing a partner within his mind and being held to high standards against the fire swordsmen himself. With the other two off somewhere the six eyes that fell upon him showed he wasn’t on the level they were but indeed he would carve his own path through pain and conflict. Chuckling once more to laugh off the pressure from within this was something he needed to see for himself if there was a way to grow stronger in a short bit of time. Gazing up into the sky the cloud was now moving out of the way revealing the sun once more unveiling the darkness as the sun took over once more blessing the earth with its rays of life.

As it carved through the darkness once more blessing the training grounds keeping its warmth and vivid combat experiences clean and ready. Awaiting his new fellow shinobi hopefully someone he could consider his rival, but this was reality simply finding an ideal person to grow stronger with was impossible especially in this world. Yet this could be just a way for the Jounin to blow off some steam and waste some time. Someone of this skill was unique to him, a person like this deserved a full-strength training session. Chuckling to himself as he sat quietly, he prepared himself for the possibilities of losing after seeing the shinobi in action, another training lesson he would have to learn but hopefully one he could strive to gain from and become stronger.

“Hope he shows up."

Raphael's arrival at the destinated meeting spot was more than a little late, in fact to say that he forgot about the fact that he was meeting with Blitz would be accurate. If it was not for the fact that Hayami reminded him of the fact, he would have likely never shown up as his mind was on other matters. Though late, Raphael would eventually arrive to find Blitz already waiting.

Wearing a similar outfit as he was on their mission, Raphael would have a small white Gi partially draped over his Kirigakure armor. He knew from the mission that the man was a sensor as well as Yuki, the ice techniques that he had used were after all a trademark of the clan, though beyond that he knew very little about the man as they did not really even talk while on the mission. That didn't really matter to Raphael of course, he believed you could learn a lot more about someone from fighting them even if it was just a friendly spar, then you ever could learn about someone from talking to them.

Stopping at 100 meters away from the other man, Raphael would grab his trench knives from his belt as he got into his Krav maga stance before smiling over to Blitz. "Sorry for making you wait, lets get started."

Hours passed by as Blitz awaited his challenger; the one who brought him out here now did not meet at the specific time. Feeling alone he almost forgot he was never and could never be alone but he did indeed stand alone in the field. It was a fool's move and anyone else would have left. But Blitz was only determined to see the skills of this jounin and to see if he himself could learn something from battling a different adversary. This was a new sensation to the male from seeing his skills earlier and to the slaughter of the shinobi around him. He had met a shinobi suited to teach him another fierce combatant of the mist. Yet he did not show. All this ruckus in his mind nearly distracted him from a being about a total of a hundred meters out. Gazing out it seemed he couldn’t make a clear sense of who he was looking at rather than ignoring the figure Blitz advanced forward till he was about fifty meters out.

“Good.”

Having now a clear view of the Jounin from the missions he was brought upon it had seemed he was warmed up and ready to begin this spar in his own unique form Blitz only made sure to keep his mind open to the opportunities being seen from this shinobi. This was his only time he could think of being in a mindset which possessed him to further his Kenjutsu experience. Yet this man seemed to have his own weapons not as massive as a blade but still vicious in its own rights. Smiling he unsheathed his own blade gripping it with both his hands as he took a stance having his left shoulder point towards his opponent. His katana may have been old but it was still something he would hold onto dearly for this was the last remembrance of his life before the village and the life of a shinobi. Blitz gripped his blade with much tenacity as he broke the ice taking a slight step forward towards his new opponent. Pushing towards him with a smile upon his face he made sure his ambition was seen from the opposition Blitz paced himself waiting for his opponent to be the first to strike. He was late to the occasion after he invited the male to the challenge.

Indeed this was someone lacking the courage to remember when they’ve forgotten someone. Sighing to himself as he was now interested in the upcoming events that he was attempting to accomplish. This was his training and this was now his new instructor. He thought that hopefully he would teach him a bit about himself during the battle. Holding his weapon he began to inch himself closer taking each step forward carefully as one foot crossed over the other he began his push towards the male on defense ready for any encounter he might face.

Spoiler:

Raphael would keep his eyes trained on the other man as he watched him move in closer to 50 meters before stopping and pulling out his blade, all the while Raphael would remain still as he controlled his breathing and let his chakra flow through him more freely as he activated his mastery of body: Vigilance technique to ensure that his eyes were ready when the other man would make his move. It would seem that they were both being cautious of the other, which stood for good reason considering the only thing that they really knew about each other was what they had witnessed during the mission. With that in mind however, as the man slowly moved closer towards him, Raphael would use what he did know about the man to limit what he was able to do. It was a simple and benign movement, the adjustment of his foot on the ground. In that movement, Raphael would allow his chakra to spread out around the pair of them and closing them into a dome made of his Adamantine chains. Within a second and a half a 150-meter radius dome of pure adamantine chains would be formed around the pair, and while it did cost him a fair amount of chakra to do so he felt it would be worth it. Not only would the dome prevent anything beyond taijutsu or weapon techniques, at least the deadly ones, but it would also drain his opponent of his chakra as well. Raphael just had to ensure he kept a close watch on his own reserve to ensure that he didn't overdo it.

Provided that they were both locked in the dome, Raphael wouldn't have to worry about the man using any of his ninjutsu. Which also meant a smile would form on Raphael's face, as it meant he would be able to see what the man was capable of. He wanted to see what the other man was capable of in close combat, though it was risky when you know that your opponent has such powerful ninjutsu abilities. The dome was his insurance, beyond that however he wouldn't make another move, he would wait to see what Blitz would do. Though technically he did make the first move, it would be up to Blitz if he made the first attack. If Blitz manages to get out of the area before the dome forms, then he would have to break through the dome to attack Raphael.

It was fast but it  did not go undetected. Blitz wasn’t fast enough to escape such trickery but instead it invited him to fight. Something he enjoyed doing amongst his peers regardless of his form Blitz continued to push forward one step at a time. Closing the distance between him and his target each step he could only grin to himself as he now was challenged by someone stronger and faster. His combat experience shown before was nothing to joke about; it was alluring to the shinobi.

Smiling with each inching he made towards his opponent the fear of losing being trapped with the man was obsolete. Welcoming this challenge he felt the tension in legs begging for him to leap ahead and strive towards his enemy. He was indeed hungry. On this day he sought combat with his blade and so he was delivered to a man who would push him to his best. Or worse.

Regardless he was indeed tempted to push it out of him Blitz came to a stop about 30 meters out from the male. At the ready for an attack from the male but this was indeed his move as bit by bit Blitz could feel the suppression coming from the cage itself. This indeed was something he lusted for; he needed more interactions such as this. Lifting one hand it only seemed best to give the jounin proper respect and give it his all in this spar forming one hand seal. Tiger. It was a spar but since he never saw the true abilities of this opponent he wasn’t inclined in holding back as only one water clone manifested itself from the moisture in the air.

“Water Style: Water Clone..”

The mirror image of the shinobi himself standing identically beside the original each detail down to the correct likeness he had done this so much it became evident of his clone. He was set to test himself on this day the clone wielding its own blade quickly drifted off to cover the surrounding area on the left side of the male. As Blitz copied its movements and moved to the right covering the surrounding sides for only a brief moment.

Suddenly the clone itselfs acted quickly sheathing the blade followed by launching itself backwards in the air increasing the distance between itself and the jounin by five more meters. The clone itself raised his left hand up with the Tiger seal itself ready using its body as a source of water. The clone focused and began to fire upon the jounin two blasts of condensed water from above. Coming at the jounin at A rank speed yet the jutsu was something light but indeed this was a test of his reflexes. During this time Blitz made no hesitation coming in from the right flank blade in his hand. Cutting the distance between him and his opponent at full speed thirty meters could be quickly made. Speaking underneath his breath as he could only try to restrain his excitement he had hoped the words were heard.

“I feel like you’re worthy of being a rival.. Let’s enjoy this.”

Making it to about 15 meters before lunging out towards the male at B rank speed swinging his blade down vertically with both hands upon his blade. Indeed his blade was old and not up to par to do real damage but he intended to make it feel real. Given that his opponent most likely had an ace up his sleeve he regretted nothing in training with such a shinobi. In a way he felt like he had made a new rival. The swing of his katana came down upon the Jounin aimed at his upper right shoulder going downward in a powerful striking motion. If successful he would inflict C rank damage upon the Uzumaki’s right shoulder. If Blitz would miss he would take up his stance once more this time twirling his blade whilst wielding it with both hands as his outer shoulder faced his opponent awaiting to counter or avoid any repercussions. He could only smile at the thought.

Spoiler:

Seeing the other man form a clone a smile would quickly form on Raphael's face, he could already see what the man was planning and quickly followed suit. Allowing his chakra to flow through him more freely as he adapted to this fight and knew he needed to be quicker than normal. Just before the other man and his clone would split from one another to move to either side of Raphael, Raphael would also form the tiger hand seal and create a clone of himself which would stand with its back against his. Raphael would turn his body to face the real Blitz to the right, his own clone would be guarding his back from Blitz's clone.

Raphael's clone as soon as it was formed would quickly make a string of four hand seals, so that as soon as it was facing the other man's clone it would release a powerful torrent of water towards the other clone. Unfortunately, it seemed that the other clone was fast to act with its own technique, firing of the gunshots of water cancelling out both techniques before either could reach their mark. Raphael's clone would quickly form two hand seals, releasing a field of slippery bubbles in the area behind Raphael where the other man's clone was up in the air. the hope being that when the clone landed it would become trapped within the field and not be able to advance further without tripping on itself, as the bubbles would make the ground impossible to find traction.

The real Raphael, his eyes trained on Blitz waiting for his move would see the man dart forward leaping into the air near the halfway mark to bring his sword down on Raphael. Raphael would maintain a calm expression on his face, just before it seemed as through the man's sword would find its mark. Raphael would sidestep the attack using his hands to grip the man's wrist as he ensured the man's attack followed through, quickly raising his left leg high into the air and bringing it down upon the man's back. The power of the strike from his leg increased thanks to the chakra on the heel of his foot ensure more damage be done than if he had not used the chakra.

Raphael's Techs:

Clone's Techs:

His swing came down with a miss before he could return back into a defensive position he was already captured in the grip of the shinobi. Not a fierce grip as he could tell this was what it meant to train; he wasn't intending to make it realistic. Such training felt odd to be a part of but it was too late for him to speak as he always steps up to a fight no matter the person. Blitz gazes at the Uzumaki in his eyes watching the events unfold before him; he could only meet the individual with a straight up fight. During this time the clashing of the water was heard in the background, the two water clones canceling each other out. As the field became slippery splitting up the two coming to terms with this Blitz released his water clone and fully focused his attention on the Jounin before him.

The odds were now against him, something he enjoyed regardless of the situation. Watching the leg being brought up Blitz himself focused chakra upon his free hand quickly giving off a subzero level of temperature. Radiating out to about five meters around the shinobi. His hand now transformed into ice claws, each claw about six inches long as he quickly launched a straight jab aiming for underneath the leg. Exactly at his calf muscle in an attempt to counter attack.

During all this he was willing to push himself the extra mile quickly dropping the sword and forming a one handed hand seal. Ram. From inside the dome the wind would begin to pick up as it stored around till it quickly conjured up four tornadoes each small in size but still deadly. As these tornadoes spawned in various spots yet the dome was small enough to challenge this sort of behavior. Two of the tornados gave birth near the two shinobi. As the other two spawned on the remaining sides. One where his clone was last standing and the other a couple meters from where Blitz first stood. Embracing the attack or being inflicted to pain was something he wondered if the other was interested in.

“…”

Regardless of how he thought this should have gone he loved pushing himself into unexpected territory. Smiling was his strong suit after all and he wouldn’t mind embracing the pain to grow stronger. If this man wanted him to train to grow stronger he would play his game and play it correctly till he won or better yet saw himself grow. The jounin had options to escape he knew this was most likely true but fighting was always something he learned to be fun. Grinning from ear to ear he wanted to know if this male would push back harder and show off his true skills.

Spoiler:

As soon as Blitz's clone would dissipate, Raphael's clone would spin around to Raphael's left. Though it would have wasted chakra with the field of bubbles, the elimination of the other man's clone meant that its protection was no longer needed at his back. Reaching position as the real Raphael lifted his leg above their head, the clone would react quickly forming the hand seals as its arm became the water that made it as a sphere of water would form around Blitz trapping him within. Seeing the clone suddenly move to his side, Raphael would leap back to ensure he was not caught in whatever it was that the clone or Blitz was doing.

Finding himself within his own clones field of bubbles, slipping slightly but overall able to maintain his balance as he landed. If the water prison was successful Raphael would simply talk to the other man that was trapped within his clone's technique, as it would mean that the fight was over as there would be no way for the man to escape it once it formed. With the clone now being closer to Blitz than the real Raphael, if the prison failed and Blitz managed to get out of range of the prison, the clone would quickly form the tiger seal before firing off 10 bullets of water at the man following his escape direction. Raphael on the other hand would simply wait, conserving his chakra for more of this spar as if continued and seeing what Blitz's next move would be.

Clone's Techs:

Watching the rotation of the clone quickly go around to the side of the shinobi he knew this only meant he was at a disadvantage. Without his hands he could only conceive of one way to stop the clone in its tracks. As he watched it form multiple hand seals he himself began to concentrate his chakra in the area above the clone. Being released from the grip of the jounin Blitz acted quickly as he watched the arms of the water clone transform themselves. Using the moisture in the air against his enemy as he manipulated it, Blitz cooled down the temperature forming two ice swords. Each pointing downward aiming for the left and right shoulders of the clone. He did not know if the male released him to distance himself or was this a part of his plan.

A trick that was taught to him by the one he called his savior a useful skill it seemed to be after all. Launching both the blades downwards simultaneously from above piercing and freezing the water clone. Stopping it before it could finish the job. Sighing a little bit Blitz took a look around the ice statue to gaze upon the shinobi who had a difference in skill. Tactical and fast to the point he meant to finish the job but only experience was the one who saved Blitz within the dome brains had to be pushed more than muscle.

This was a new thrill he never felt before being limited only made him curious enough to know how far he could push himself. Laughing to himself out loud this was indeed a true test of resilience patting himself off as he leaned over grabbing his sword. Indeed this was a true battle and the enemy didn’t have to kill to win. Simply capturing someone was enough to gain information and other ways of winning. From what he knew so far it was better to finish off the enemy but this shinobi made it difficult to move about and from what he saw on their mission.

Information was something he did desire. This shinobi was to be out here. Another irregular to the faction that belonged to the village indeed this male had his own agenda such as the Flame Swordsman and the Green Flames. Maybe even the White Haired Demon had his own plans, something that urged them to fight on and demonstrate such skill on the battlefield. Indeed he was jealous of how they each had their own plans he supposed for now growing stronger was the best route.

Patting the shinobi headband he had he could only remember the promise. Yet again this was another form of training he obviously needed from such a person. A person he now wanted to surpass one day. Smiling to himself he could only wonder what the next attack would be. Placing his blade back in its scabbard he walked around the statue with only a smile on his face he was ready for the challenge. Keeping his hand upon the handle of the blade he indeed was ready to continue his training as he continued to try to push himself. Against what seemed to be another wall.

“…”

Spoiler:

Seeing the ice swords appear, Raphael would form two quick hand seals. He would lose the clone, but he would trap his opponent. Releasing the viscous liquid from his mouth, spreading across the field below the other man's feet as he dealt the final blow to Raphael's water clone. The clone turning into a statue of ice in front of the other man, yet he seemed to be in a daze as he was not quick to realize he would now be trapped, though it would likely come to his realization once he bends down to pick up his blade to find it stuck to the ground.

Though it stopped the other man from moving, it would not stop him from casting jutsu to attack or possibly even free himself. As Blitz would bend down to pick up his sword, Raphael would end the grand battle dome. Before the other man could realize that the restriction was gone, Raphael would form his sealing chains to bind the man's hands robbing him of his ability to mold chakra. "Your hesitation cost you this fight Blitz, you must never let your guard down or else you may find yourself at the mercy of your enemy as you now are." Raphael would hold him with the chains until the other man would accept his defeat, at which point he would be released from the chains.

Blitz watched and recognized the seals that were being formed by the Uzumaki. Blitz prepares himself watching suddenly he opens his mouth. As the syrup began to pour out Blitz reacted simultaneously activating the Walking On Water Technique. Before the syrup was halfway to touching the floor Blitz concentrated his chakra upon the Jounin activating his own counter attack. Forming the moisture around the vicinity of the Uzumaki various sizes of ice spikes both large and small sharp and deadly to the point. Releasing them immediately upon his enemy during this time Blitz himself began to move out ten meters away from the jounin. During this time he formed the Tiger hand seal activating Hiding in Mist conquering the vicinity of the dome concealing his movements. From within the mist he himself began to increase his distance by five more meters exactly. Hiding in this mist as he would then use his sensory skills to test tracking the chakra signature of the Jounin in the mist.

Remaining quiet and minding his business in the mist Blitz felt the knocking from the darkness underneath his skin. His personality itself began to shift without him even knowing he could only hear the knocking from within as in a blink of an eye all he was surrounded by was darkness. Looking ahead in front of him it was as if he was pulled inward into his body as the light now shined down on someone else. His cold aura expelled itself from within seeping out a little bit as the body was now in the care of someone other than Blitz. Cracking a smile his blue eyes remained fixated on the chakra signature before him.

“….”

Spoiler:

Raphael's chains would already be forming when he felt the change in the air, without a second thought rather than attacking his opponent with them, Raphael would use his chains to create a small barrier around him to protect him from the attack that the blue haired man was attempting. Of course, this would put him in a small predicament, sure he was now protected from the attack as well as future attacks unless the other man had a way to break through his barrier, unfortunately now he was effectively blind to the going ons of the outside of the barrier. He had no way of seeing what the other man was doing, if he dropped the barrier he could very well be met with an onslaught of an attack.

It was a calculated risk on his part, putting the barrier up. he would be blind to the outside of the barrier but he would be protected for the most part, so in Raphael's eyes acceptable. Now he just needed to figure out a way to exit the barrier, without walking into another jutsu or something else. That would take him some time so for now he would remain within his small barrier of his sealing chains in hopes that it would by him the time he needed to be able to think about his next move.
