Finding the "All Seeing Eye." (Open RP/Bloodline Training)

[Sei]

Izanagi drew the fifth and final explosive note, turning so that Hoshi struck his back with the sword. Only seconds later did he prime the shinobi tool, dodging Hoshi's sword-strike and using his momentum to throw another note at the mud clone. With all three of them attached, the clone nodded to the real Izanagi, already knowing the next plan of attack.

The clone ran towards Hoshi, in an attempt to tackle him, but missed - Hoshi had dodged and retaliated by sending a slash towards Izanagi, who deftly dodged while he thought. Hoshi would be far more aware of the clone, now, and there would be a good chance that trying to tackle him would result in another miss..... So he had to get smart. He flicked his wrist at the clone, who nodded and stood still, ready to Body Switch on their opponents next attack.

Milliseconds before Hoshi connected with his next strike Izanagi and the clone suddenly switched places in a poof of white smoke, the proximity and physical contact causing the clone to splatter onto Hoshi. The notes detonated on Izanagi's mental command, blasting the poor boy backwards in a huge plume of black smoke.

Izanagi grinned at the success of his plan, though it was short lived as Hoshi quickly dashed back, slicing into Izanagi with a renewed fervor. This one was stronger than the previous too, causing quite a bit of blood to spill from the white-haired boy. Instead of attacking back, though, Izanagi used the time to catch his breath, taking another severe slash to his body. He was dangerously close to being out of chakra, and it was obvious by the amount of sweat dripping from his face and how hard he was panting.

He raised his head as he heard Hoshi surrender, admitting his lack of preparedness as his weakest link. Izanagi grinned, falling back onto his butt and sighing. Thank the Gods, because he was getting extremely tired; possibly more tired than Hoshi himself. "One-zero it is..... I expect my yen soon," he said with a tired laugh, using the back of his hand to wipe sweat from his forehead.

[Shouyu Hoshi]

Izanagi seemed to have accepted his friendly surrender, giving a confident smirk before crashing down to a sitting position looking beat. Shouyu was in no good shape at all himself, he had his head down and chuckled once before falling back and exhaling deeply. The boy was bruised up, and now that the fight was over and he actually had time to assess his chakra usage and sustained damage, the kid was feeling really sore. He pushed himself up into a sitting position, really he had his right knee up into his chest, right arm resting over his knee cap. His left arm was like a kick stand, propping his young body up to see Izanagi.

"One to Zero huh?"

He looked around, there was a lot of mud... A LOT OF MUD. An explosion over there, there, here, a big one right over there. The animals seemed to have scattered out of the vicinity of this battle. The birds, watching and singing from a top the tallest trees. He was just looking around observing the aftermath of their battle. It really did seem epic, and though he lost, still felt pretty cool to have given his all against an opponent who would not hold back. Izanagi laughed, joked, so did Shouyu. He was laughing with one eye open cringing from the soreness in his ribs and abdomen, coughing lightly. His right hand, hanging over his knee, pointing on a number one with his index finger.

"Yeah, One K. You got it. Next fight, let's see if we can make it two, heh."

His breathing was starting to calm, breath finally coming back to him. He pushed himself to stand up and face Izanagi with a bright but battered face smiling big, his hand extended for a handshake, concluding their battle. His free hand was scratching the back of his head. The kid was laughing because all in all it was just a fun experience to duke it out with fellow ninja and test your abilities.

"Ha, can't lie, you got some nice skills there! Have you learned any new jutsus lately?!"
