FIGHT! Train Your Heart Out! [Kagami Uchiha, Yoko Matsubara]

Yoko arrived at the smaller of the training grounds, rolling her arms in a slow, yet synchronized way, getting them stretched before she began her physical training. She had a small scroll in one hand, more a rolled up piece of paper than a proper scroll, that listed a couple techniques she wanted to learn eventually. She began stretching her back and legs soon after, taking slow, deliberate breaths as she did, trying to keep a rhythm and get her body ready for the work that was ahead.

When she was done, she unrolled the small scroll to see what the list on it said, and stood there a few moments, going over the quick instructions she jotted down for herself, and nodded, rolling it back up, and began to focus her chakra, holding out her lower arms in front of her. She took a deep breath, and began focusing chakra into them, trying to extend them, attempting to preform the first technique on the scroll. It wasn't as easy as she thought, though her arms felt tingly, and oddly thin. She stopped, sighed, reopened the scroll to take another look at it, making sure she wasn't forgetting anything, but found no other hints from herself.

She sighed, put it away, and tried again, holding her lower set of arms out once more, and after a full minute of her limbs feeling the odd chakra induced tingling, they did indeed become longer, more flexible, though she found manipulating them to be difficult, she practiced making shapes and maneuvering them better. It was an odd feeling, but something useful she could use, no doubt. She grinned to herself, considering this one learned, and reeled in her arms as she let the chakra go.

She chuckled a bit, as she unrolled the scroll, licked her thumb, and wiped it across the first technique, smearing the ink to indicate she learned it, and then looking to the next technique, completely unaware of anyone around her.

Kagami noticed the weather was nice today. The overbearing heat that he had felt only a few days ago was a thing of the past. This weather made him want to be outside. And of course for an Uchiha there was training till be done. So he made his way to the training grounds. Graduating the Academy, he only knew a handful of jutsus at the moment. All of them student level. He needed to broaden his horizon of skills at the moment. It took about half an hour to make it to the grounds, upon entering the first area. He was surprised to see another person already there. Yoko Matsubara. He had met her before on a mission earlier. Kaga made his way over to her as she was moving her body in the strangest of ways. "Well met Yoko." He said getting close enough to be in earshot.

"I see you are...training as well. Perhaps we can train together?"

Yoko blinked a moment, looking over her shoulder to see Kagami, the Uchiha that she worked with previously. She turned around, rolling up her scroll and pocketing it, "Hey, um... Kagami, right? We worked together washing dogs." She would pause as he offered to train with her, to which she shrugged.

"That sounds fine. A few of these I'd be better off learning with someone else around." She paused a moment, before cracking some of her knuckles a moment, "So... How did you wanna do this?" She stood casually, but her eyes were more focused as she watched him, sizing him up a bit, unsure of what to expect. He was an Uchiha after all, and even if their clans were close, she didn't expect he would hold back, and neither would she. Its how it should be, otherwise neither of them would grow as shinobi.

Yoko turned around to the noise coming from behind her. Kagami was never curious about her many arms. He had an ocular eye that changed colors and he could see amazing things, but also turned his world red. Everything was normal here in the Leaf village. Kagami had on some white pants and a black shirt to match. A headband strapped across his forehead to keep his messy black hair from hanging over. He listened to Yoko ask how the bout should go about. "First to hit the ground, ends the bout. I've been meaning to test my skills. The academy can be limiting."

He was taught the basics of the style held in high esteem within the village. Kagami walked away giving Yoko 5 meters of space in between them. Assuming the Goken stance, he held his fists out and focused his will within his body. The Will of Fire was within this style. It also added to ones strength in learning the 8 Gates. If one were so fortunate. "When you are ready." Kagami said to Yoko.

Yoko watched him go and enter the Goken stance. Fairly typical of most, she thought, but acceptable. She had not trained in such as much as the other genin, but that wasn't a problem. Most in school didn't want to fight her cause they assumed she was a master with her many arms, and though she probably could, she was not quiet there right now.

She took a moment to focus on her new skill, and flooded all six of her arms with the chakra needed to lengthen her limbs, making them all several meters long, and very flexible. She grinned a bit, nervous and excited at the same time, "Alright, ready..."

She would attempt to fling her noodly arms on her right side forward, then pulling them back to try to get that whipping snap going, trying to get this next and new technique to work as well, but as fast as they were, the actual snaps wouldn't impact nearly as much as she thought they might have.

Kagami smirked as he watched the six armed Genin flex her prowess. Her arms began to grow longer, making her a beast up close. But the Uchiha was ready, his eyes flashed as the Sharingan activated. His usual dark pupils began to turn red, and the familiar one tomoe formed in his eye. The world turned red, and he was able to see the chakra rushing through the Matsubara's body. He leaned forward and dashed with increased precision. He needed to feel out the young Genin to see was she also fit for Taijutsu combat. Kaga covered the five meter distance quickly and was in front of her with a concentrated expression. He feigned a right palm thrust towards her chest, but pulled back as he lowered his body for another attack. Kagami's body dropped to the ground as he aimed for a sweep kick instead, that would aim for both legs.

Yoko grimaced, taking a step back to avoid the attack to her chest, only to fall for the attack on her legs, hitting her side as she did. This didn't detour her though, as she reached with her three long arms on one side to grab onto a tree branch, and pulled herself up, trying to get out of Kaga's melee range, using her other arms to attempt to whip at him all at once.

She only barely noticed his eyes had gone red, and she knew what that meant, so she didn't expect to actually hit him. She didn't know what the Uchiha's eyes did exactly, but their clans were close enough that she heard rumors about how they could predict the future and such, but that wouldn't stop her from doing her best to fight him.

The many armed female was taken aback by the Uchihas speed and power. He was able to tip her feet but she was able to catch on to nearby tree. Then she struck out without her other hands. They were flailing arms, they did not have much accuracy behind them. They seemed quicker than he had anticipated, but his eyes were able to catch the quick movement. Kagami shuffled backwards avoiding the many strikes at him.

Then out of nowhere Kaga dashed forward with supernatural speed. Something he was totted on being a true being of speed. He slipped forward and maneuvered himself around Yoko as her strikes went past him. There was an immediate pause as Yoko would not have captured the quick movement. Using this as an advantage, Kaga being behind her now. He struck forward a three piece combo. Two punches with both hands and a strong kick to push her back but possibly still be on her feet.

Her strikes hit the ground, which hurt, causing her to wince, despite the wiggly form of her hands and arms, and tried to quickly draw them back in to try again. However, she stopped before she could, blinking and looking around, as Kaga seemed to have disappeared in a whirlwind. Her first thought was he had caught her in a genjutsu, but the pain in her back told her otherwise, as she felt three very solid hits connect with her back, causing her to stumble forward almost falling over, no thanks to her wiggly noodle arms.

She groaned louder than she meant to, but turned quickly, snapping her left arms out at him, only pulling back after her fists went flying past her head, trying to whip him once more, though she doubted it would work. It was already clear Kagami was in a different league than her, but she wouldn't simply give up because of that. Her other three arms went back behind her, ready to snap forward to follow her other arms, trying to catch him by surprise with a second barrage of wild flying fists

As the Uchiha had planned. His mad dash was not recorded as he became a blur to the Genin. It caused a slight tunnel vision in his own regard. But the Matsubara would not have been able to capitalize on the slight disadvantage afforded by his increased speed. Kaga also was able to land his precise three strikes on the female. She immediately retaliated. Swinging all three of her hands backwards behind her. But Kagami was ready. He held his right hand up to block her attack.

The advantage of handing so many hands was apparent to Kagami. As he had to use his other hand to catch her top fist while his forearm blocked the other two. He used his own strength to push her back her hands and throw her off balance while he jumped back five meters to create space. He had to be weary of her hands as he would have harder time blocking them all. Kaga held his goken stance prodding Yoko to continue.

Yoko reigned in her right arms, returning them to normal, while her left arms remained long and stretchy. She panted a bit, gritting her teeth in frustration, but she had an idea to help her match the speed of the Uchiha, or so she believed. She hadn't practiced it much, but she had to make it count; This may be practice, but to her, it was more than that. It was proving to herself that she indeed belonged in this life, even if perhaps this wasn't her niche to fill, she was going to give it her all.

She held up her middle right arm, forming a half tiger sign, as she swung all three left arms back behind her, trying to stretch them to their limit, before dashing at the Uchiha head on like he wanted, but perhaps far faster than he expected. Her legs threatened to stumble, as she was not used to such speeds, but she pressed on, straight for him, her left arms trailing behind her, fists clenched tight enough to turn red from the strain.

She came to a sudden halt two meters away from him, launching all three of her left fists flying towards him, while her body lurched forward, now stumbling hard, clearly vulnerable if her strikes did not actually land, sweat beginning for form noticeably upon her brow, but she had brought her best tactic forward, and whether she succeeded or failed, she was sure it was undeniable that it was a good plan, even if she could not preform it as she meant to.

The body of the Uchiha began to steel itself as it began to focus its own reserve strength. He was very proficient in the art of Taijutsu. Even if his Ninjutsu was lacking in quality. He could not perform those type of jutsus on a fellow Genin in a spar. But they would make use of their hands like any ninja would have to in the field. Yoko prepared herself against Kaga, his speed becoming a problem for her. Thinking of a quick way to deal with him, Kagami noticed her holding up a seal. This was it. She began to move towards him, a bit faster than she was able to before.

She stopped abruptly, swinging her arms back to hit him with many punches. Sort of using her self as a sling. However the Uchiha was able to catch her movements and moved forward by crouching low and dodging to the side. He also stepped forward covering the two meter distance low. He began kicking low at her right foot as she stumbled, then rose with amazing speed to swing a back kick to her gut, then finishing with a high jump kick. Not going to knock her out but enough to knock her backwards on her back. He would finish the Leaf Whirlwind without dropping the heel.

She had missed. The next few moments passed in an odd combination of slow motion, and blurring speed, along with some serious pain. Her arms flung forward, fists hitting air, and barely starting to come back to her, when she was not only stumbling, but completely off her feet. A mere instant later, she was struck in the gut, launching her somewhat upward, and knocking the wind out of her chest, eyes blurring from the tears drawn out by the pain. Before her eyes could clear and she could see anything again, another surge of pain forced what little air that had returned to her to be forced out again, but this time, the pain was searing in her face, and when she finally stopped, she was on her back, with four hands covering her face, her other two over her gut.

She had not even noticed that her arms were not longer wiggly, and were normal sized again. When she tried to move, it hurt far worse than staying still, so she laid there for a bit, panting hard, trying to not cry, and failing. She took one of her four hands away from her face, and waved it in the air slowly, using another hand to push herself up into a sitting cross legged position. "I think I'm done," she called to him in a muffled voice, a trickle of blood dripping from between her fingers. She panted a moment more, before continuing, "I think its pretty clear your way better than me," Using her middle arms to wipe her face of the pain tears.

The well placed Leaf Whirlwind had done it job. And blinded the Matusbara with its array of kicks fielding her view. They landed with fierce accuracy. Though they lacked any real power behind them, they were definitely efficient enough to put her on her back. Kagami stopped his rotation and stepped back as Yoko conceded. Noting that he was the winner of this bout. "Yes. I'll take the win, though you did put up a good fight." Kagami said deactivating his Sharingan eye and his red eyes became black once again.

"We must train our ninjutsu together next time. Of course not against each other, I'm interesting in what abilities your clan holds." Time of war was here. The Genin would be the first line of offense in the near future when that war would be brought to Konohas doorstep. Land of Earth had been usurped shortly. Now no telling when their skills will be called upon.

She lets out a slight laugh, that quickly turns into a pained hiss, as she panted slightly, before speaking, "Trust me, so am I..." She reached a free hand into her pocket again, pulling out that tiny scrap of paper, and reading it a moment, before preforming three hand signs in slow succession, Heaven, Snake and Dog, though her hands were shaking, and not having the initial chakra flow to preform the jutsu properly the first time. She furrowed her brow, using her free hands to wipe her face again, finally removing her last two hands from her face.

She took a deep breath, and tried once more, focusing a bit more this time, and this time when she preformed the hand signs, her hands began to glow a light pale green chakra, and she touched both her face and stomach, as the pain slowly began to ebb away. Her injuries were not great, but they were taking their time getting better. Eventually, all that was left of the injuries was a light soreness in her stomach, and a line of dried blood under her nose. She got up, stretching, wincing only slightly as her stomach reminded her that it could be worse, and she walked over to Kagami, and held out one of her hands to shake his. "Next time we fight, things are going to go very differently, you got that?"

Kaga noticed the other Genin getting up. And once she did she pulled a paper from within her clothes and performed an jutsu from it. A pale green glow emitted from her hands and she began to heal herself. Ijutsu. They didn't have many Ijutsu ninja around. They were imperative for a successful operation with no fatalities. Yoko walked over to shake Kagami's hands as she said that next they fought things would be very different.

The Uchiha nodded and extended a hand to hers and shook it. "I have no doubt in my mind. As medical nin, your expertise was not in Taijutsu. So the disparity was large already."

She frowned at that, but nodded as they shook hands. "I'm focusing in medical stuff right now, but I'll make sure I can hold my own. Half of being a field medic is knowing how to keep oneself alive long enough to keep others alive, so I intend to make myself doubly dangerous as those I will be keeping alive."

When they stopped, she folded her middle and lower arms over her chest, while her upper ones folded behind her head. "So, wanna go get lunch? After all that, I'm hungry." She was fairly hungry, and figured it would be a good way to get to know a future teammate without beating each others faces in, and actually speaking.

Yoko answered that she would be working on a manner of different arts. Making her immensely deadly with a plethora of skills down the line. Kagami nodded as he would work to do the same. "I hear you. I to echo the same goals. Maybe I'll be strong enough one day to get revenge for our clan." Kagami spoke of the recent dark events involving the death of the their clan leader. Found by next to a dead body, it seemed they killed each other in a heated battle. Whomever sent her would be in for a response by Konoha no doubt.

The Matsubara also asked if Kagami wanted lunch. At which Kaga was suddenly excited for. "Absolutely. I've been wanting the best rice balls and ramen in the market for a while." His mouth began to water as he dreamed of the meals beforehand. He began to walk out of the training grounds area back towards the market area.

[Exit]

Yoko grinned a bit, and nodded a bit, "Well, I'm feeling something meaty, lets grab your stuff and head to the bbq place, I hear they have a new sauce to pour on the meats as you cook it," her stomach growled loudly, but she paid it no mind as they headed off to the marketplace for a good after training meal.
