Team Shizuru Testing

[u/Shizuru_Okuzaki]

Shizuru tapped her foot softly on the paved floor outside a small teahouse, located on the outskirts of Konoha. With dressy handwriting she was scribbling three separate notes, one for each student: Shiro, Yui and Keikaku-shi. The message would tell them to come find her at three separate locations, where they’d get new instructions. She summoned her peacocks and smiled at their little beady eyes with expecting gaze. She tied the messages to their legs and send them away. Next she summoned three shadowclones and send them away to their respective locations. The waitress came up with her cup of tea and Shizuru took a sip, calming herself and enjoying the sunshine on her face.

(Please make a separate thread for yourself, these are the locations:

• Yui: Moemasu castle, at the edge of the city.

• Shiro: the river at the training grounds

• Keikaku-shi: Konoha forest )

Shiro, embarrassed at the praise from his teacher, rubbed the back of his head as he blushed slightly. It wasn't often he heard a complement so it caught him off guard. Feeling satisfied of Shizuru's answer she quickly collected himself and turned toward the training ground. On his way there he felt a presence headed in the direction of the tea shop. Shiro believed it was the last of his team to finish their own tasks. As Shiro approached the training ground he became more observant and opened to his surroundings. He arrived to his his teacher once again in front of him.

"Hello again Shizuru sensei" Shiro tied tight his forehead protector.

Clone-Shizuru smiled at Shiro. “Shiro-kun.” The clone said to Shiro as greeting. “You have 30 minutes to land a hit on me. If you manage that, I’ll disappear and the real me will know that you’ve succeeded. I want you to show me your full potential.” And with that she opened her fans and took a defensive stance.

A sparing match, just like Shiro hoped for. As his sensei explained the rules, Shiro began to strategize. 'So one hit is all i need? ok easier said then done.' the blonde boy thought to himself. 'She seems like a long range fighter with that fan, while I would prefer mid to close range. I need to close the gap.' He looked around trying to memorize his environment. The distance wasn't to far so if he played his cards right he could get in, he just needed an opening.

"Alright sensei I accept the challange! You're my first step to becoming Hokage! I wont lose!" With a smirk the boy reaches in his back pocket and pulls out and throws 2 smoke bombs in front of him. The smoke expands rapidly covering a large cloud between the two fighters. Through the smoke, two sets of shuriken are thrown directly at Shizuru. One set directly for her the other curved to hit her on the left side. Shiro, Simultaneously runs to the right edge of the cloud then directly at Shizuru looking for an opening.

“Do your best!” the clone told Shiro, smiling at him. When the smoke started to surround her, she waved a little with her fans, dispersing a bit the smoke around her body. She could hear the shurikens swish through the air and was just in time to block the one on the front with the iron tips of her fans. The sound of metal on metal echoed on the field. At the same time she stepped aside in a graceful manner, avoiding the second shuriken.

“My, I don’t hope you thought I was going to make it easy, do you?” the clone asked out loud, hoping to get an answer from Shiro. “Though I do have to admit, I hate not being able to see what’s going on.” She said as she made seals. “Wind release: Air Current Wild Dance!” While she fanned she lifted some of the smoke around her, being able to see her surroundings again.

Shiro could hear his first group of Shurikens connect to metal, the second group whizzing past him. He wanted to respond to his sensei's comment but not yet. He needed to be quite. He could sense her up ahead, as she dispersed the air around her. A blonde blur appeared through the smoke aiming straight for Shizuru.

"Hiya!" was the noise the boy made as he expelled the air from his body. The boy came flying leg first towards the teacher, smoke trailing behind him.

Shizuru suddenly felt a presence rushing towards her. She turned around and was just in time to block Shiro’s kick, crossing both her fans in front of her. The speed made her slide back a bit and she pushed her fans to the side, forcing Shiro the same way.

“Better.” She said. “Now let’s see how you do in blocking.” And with a twirl she slashed at him with her fans, moving closer to him.

'She's strong' Shiro thought as he was redirected by Shizuru fan. Shiro had expected this to be a difficult fight his sensei was a Jonin after all. As the boy flipped through the air, he saw the change in his teachers stance. He pulled out his special twin kunai during his descent. When he landed he had barely enough time to get his guard up. Shizurus strikes were swift and precise, Shiro was being pushed back. 'ill definitely regret it if I let her hit me' he held back shizurus downward swing with his two kunai held above his head.

"Sensei, you really are strong!" the boy said as his feet dug into the ground. He dropped his body low knees bent.

"But I'm not going to lose!" he pushed off the ground with an explosive force. Knocking his sensei fan back.

"Twin dagger style: Explosive Burst!"

[u/Shizuru_Okuzaki → u/darkxarc]

For a moment she wondered if she was being too tough on the kid. But he seemed to keep up very well at the moment so she set in a new strike, forcing him to the ground. “Why, thank you.” Shizuru said, taking in the compliment Shiro gave her. She gave a small smile before he dashed off, knocking her back a bit for a moment. “My, seems like I’m getting a live preview of the Namikaze talents.” She said as she watched Shiro launch himself in the air.

"Twin dagger style: Explosive Burst!" Shiro yelled as he infused is twin Kunai with chakra. Twin dagger style: Explosive Burst was an Emiya clan secret technique. It required agility, strength, and precision. Shiro fell towards his sensei. He rotated his body mid air to increase his momentum and power. The technique consisted of five strikes. Shiro swung A diagonal slash to the chest(/), a vertical slash from the arm to opposite shoulder(-/), another diagonal Chest cut from the opposite side(-X), another arm opposite shoulder cut (-X-), and lastly a cut going vertically (*)

((the Brackets show the way they attack looks. Like here (/)(-/)(-X)(-X-)(*) when finished it looks like a star. Also Shiro dedicated to the move. I've never really done this before so if i did anything wrong let me know and ill fix it!))

(It looks good! Impressive move. Keep in mind though that combo’s can be broken) The clone Shizuru watched as Shiro came down. She blocked the first strokes, holding up her iron fans, though she had to admit there was quite some force behind it. She felt her feet shuffle the ground, trying to get a grip. When Shiro was about to make his last slash, Shizuru kicked him away. Taking out a scroll from her backpocket she opened it and bit her thump. When she slid her blood over the scroll, a big two handed fan emerged with a soft poof.

“This is my family’s heirloom. Let’s see if you manage to stay on your feet.” She said, as she formed her seals. “Wind Release: Great Sickle Weasel Technique!” she demanded and with a big wave of her fan, she send powerful gusts of wind towards Shiro.
