Yudo-to was out in a small forest area outside of the academy with one of her classmates. At the young age of twelve was a fairly muscular boy, supposedly one of the strongest students in the academy it was odd that he still hadn’t earned the rank Genin. He also was able to access the gift of his bloodline just as Yudo-to was trying to learn to do. The most that she or Yuki had done so far was listen to the faint sound of blood from other people and conjure small daggers for a short amount of time. Today Yudo wanted to test her limits this was the reason she convinced Katsu to spar with her.
The battle had already begun Katsu was keeping his distance from Yudo with tiny clay spiders that seemed to either explode on contact or whenever it was convenient for Katsu.. It was very troubling that Yudo was being kept a distance away from Katsu when she wanted most to test her taijutsu not to mention maintaining a blood sword was draining her stamina significantly. She needed a different strategy.
Yudo tried attacking or deflecting the clay spiders rather than taking the hits to gain ground, which was having mixed success. But it seemed that if Yudo was able to cut their the bombs before they exploded she could disable them from exploding. She didn't fully understand the interaction perhaps it had to do with the element of the jutsu or simply the strength of the jutsu itself. Either way she decided she would experiment with the idea of disabling the bombs. She dispersed her blood sword and formed two kunai. Another weapon she was mildly familiar with through training at the academy.
With the two kunai Yudo was able to deflect or completely disable the bombs for nearly a minute now with sustaining any damage. Yudo had never used this much blood for such an extended period of time, before today she’d never even created a weapon as large as the sword she was using moments ago. Strangely Yudo felt as though she was now gaining stamina back now. She nearly felt as fresh as when the sparring started even after taking so many hits from Katsu.
Soon Yudo was able to get within range of Katsu to finally land some attacks of her own. She didn’t want to waste the opportunity and dispersed the blood kunai, recreating a blood sword in their stead. Yudo then further infused the edge of her sword with chakra as well as her arms and legs unleashing a string of slashing attacks. She only landed one clean hit upon Katsu although the boy was tiring he still was rather good at taijutsu compared to Yudo. Though one clean hit was all she needed, with a small taste of Katsu’s blood Yudo was able to sustain her sword with his blood instead of her own. Among the success of the technique Yudo felt herself gaining even more vitality on top of the unexplained recovery she felt earlier. Katsu was a bit faster than Yudo in close combat and he seemed to prefer fighting with his hands when up close as opposed to with a weapon like Yudo. Yudo thought his melee combat style suited his body and didn’t think she would be able to pull off something similar anytime soon. As they continued to fight up close Yudo felt herself gaining a small portion of her chakra back despite the fact she used a bit of chakra in sword combos whenever she could.
The pair of sparring partners continued on for nearly half an hour by now. Yudo was finally beginning to understand her gifts as they continued to enhance her in ways she never expected during her and Katsu’s battle. Yudo now knew she had the ability to recover her stamina and chakra even during the heat of battle.
This was a feeling she enjoyed. The sorf of tug of war between her own body and her opponent in battle. She was beginning to enjoy gaining knowledge of combat more than she ever anticipated. While still sparring with Katsu, Yudo did something she had never done with Kosho’s body before and no matter how bloodthirsty it may have looked it was still a smile.
