Azure Lily vs Wasp

The next day after the match between Daisuke and Katsumi concluded. It was shortly before dawn as color was starting to return to the sky. Inarie had already arrived at the training grounds of Kirigakure. She ate some ramen with some spicy shrimp to heat her up and treated herself to some dangos. Or rather, treating herself as she pretty much just took a stick of three multi-colored dangos with her. Inarie doesn't inhale it either, instead she takes her time eating the sweets.

For this occasion Inarie is dressed in a kimono that seems to be midnight purple with some light colored floral on it. Tied around her waist was a navy blue sash with light pink lotus on it. Around her forehead is the Kirigakure headband with the steel plate facing forward. Her feet are actually bare which might seem odd to some people. Still her metallic blue scales can be seen around her ankles that appears to be going further up on her legs. From the back of her hands to the forearms is another patch of scales. Then her face has the bat-like wing that covers most of her cheeks to framing just under her eyes. Of course, there are more scales as Inarie discovered a while ago, but they're hidden amongst the cloth.

The strange part is that Inarie doesn't appear to have any equipment on her. No armor, no weapons, and no supplies. It's like she can out on a stroll with her platinum hair pulled up into a braid. Her piercing rose pink eyes glanced at the training grounds around her as she nibbles on the dangos. All she has to do is wait on her sparring partner now.

Yui was simply heading to the training grounds for a trip down memory lane as she made her way to the training ground she would spot a beautiful girl standing there in a Kimono. Something else caught her eye however the blue scales and wings she had, Yui would gain a wide smile as she made her approach the girl not attempting to hide herself.

"You look like someone that was waiting for a date that never showed up, don't worry a girl as cute as you will certainly find someone more worth their time. If you like I can give you a fun dance, its been a while since I really tried to show my stuff."

She would wait to see if the girl was interested if she was Yui would spar her fairly as she was unsure how strong the girl was the last thing she wanted was to try to heal someone she severely injured. Yui was in her typical outfit her black short dress with gold lining and her hair with two braids.

Minutes, half an hour, and eventually hours ticked by as the sun was only raising higher in the breathtaking blue sky. At this point Inarie was seriously starting to doubt that Kitsuki will show up. The young Kaguya even came early for this meeting. Inarie wasn't hurt or upset by this. Just that Inarie was disappointed that Kitsuki got cold feet. If this was enough to intimidate the girl, then Inarie hates to see what Kitsuki will do in a real fight.

Just when Inarie felt like she would find her time suited to return home and change out of this outfit. A newcomer approached her. Granted there was a small number of people in the area now. So with Inarie dressed that she is, she pretty much stood out quite a bit. Still, despite this it wasn't everyday to meet someone with such a vibrant red hair. Heck, Inarie hasn't seen anyone with that hair color. Still the mysterious woman commented on how Inarie appears and frankly she wasn't entirely wrong about that.

"Something like that yes. I was supposed to spar against another Genin, but she has yet to show up even after she set up the time." Inarie commented as she wanted to correct whatever misunderstanding there was. She isn't dating anybody, nor does she plan to when she has so much to work on herself. Then Inarie got the hint by dance this stranger means to spar. Inarie was a bit confused as she doesn't even know who this person was.

"Inarie Yoru-Kaguya, Genin." Inarie introduced herself as she weaves the handseals in quick succession of 1.25 second. Hoping that the red head would introduce herself as well since Inarie will have an idea of who this person was. If not then Inarie's action would remain the same. As she completes the handseals, two mass of pale blue Raiton shaped like petals swirl around her body. Much like a swirling typhoon centered around her body. Assuming that Yui Uzumaki has not made a move, Inarie will loosen the kimono to let the top half fall over the lower half. Revealing the hint of scales along her collarbone. Of course, her bust is covered by a strapless bra, but the most important thing is this large dark blue scaled-spike looking handle protrudes from between neck and shoulder. Raiton violently crackles to life as it does so.

Inarie will reach over for the spike as more Raiton sparks wildly. In conjunction to the sounds from the petals, it really sounds like thousands of birds chirping. With her fingers curled around the handle, Inarie pulls out this painfully large sword with the "spike" as a handle meant for two hands. The blade looks dark as the night with the fuller holding a line of blue scales. Along this fuller is an intricate design that seems to intertwine both Kaguya and Yoru symbols. The crossguard which is jet black, and the edges of this greatsword is the same color. In addition to this 40 inch long blade with a wide size. When Inarie pulls it completely out, from the cross guard to the tip of the blade is cloaked in intense Raiton chakra. Inarie holds it with both hands and feels the Raiton chakra from sword flowing through her body. Turning her body to slim the target on her person as the swirl of pale blue petals continue. Positioning the handle to her naval and pointing the large blade forward, Inarie will wait to see how the stranger reacts.

Inarie's Stuff:

Yui heard the girl say she was waiting to spar another genin, so she was a genin herself but her unique features were something she had personally never seen before. She then said her name was Inarie Yoru-Kaguya , so this likely meant she had two bloodlines the dragon clan and the Kaguya. She knew there were a few people in the world with a double bloodline but this was a first for her in meeting one causing her to smile, she, of course, would give the girl her name as she had no reason to hide her name.

"The name is Uzumaki, Yui and it is my pleasure to meet you."

Yui watched her hand seals as they happened so she was going to fight, that was fine. Yui herself was more than comfortable in fights as she would shift her stance moving into the Akhrt fist stance. She watched as the girl did her jutsu with her pulling the sword out of her body, this always made Yui feel squeamish watching Kaguya do that.

"A mix of two bloodlines not something I have ever witnessed personally but when you are ready feel free to come at me"

Yui was not mocking the girl she simply wanted to see the extent of her strength, if she was very strong Yui would get more serious and use her much more powerful jutsu. She never gave the girl her rank she felt this was the best, if the girl thought she was another genin like herself she would go out if she thought she was a Jounin she might not try as hard knowing she likely would lose.

Jutsu and Stats:

Much to Inarie's surprise, the stranger who introduced herself as Yui Uzumaki did not attack the Kaguya during the preparations. Truthfully the petal swirling around her were actually there to protect her body, and since she doesn't need to move in order to get the petals to do the same. The petals could protect Inarie and buy her time. Honestly Inarie still has no idea who Yui was, but considering that she's here and all Inarie assumes that Yui must a shinobi. This spar will determine whether Yui is a Jounin or possibly some Chunin that she never heard of.

Once they were ready as Yui shifts into a particular stance. Not drawing weapons and the like.

"Let's just say that I've only recently been able to achieve this." Inarie spoke as Raiton crackles around her. Even though it is still daytime her porcelain skin seems to hold a dull orange with pale blue light plain for all eyes to see. Her piercing rose pink eyes focused on her opponent. Twirling the large sword in her hands like it was some kind of staff along with a twirl of her own body. The speed of the petals intensify as afterimages seem to trail behind her. Creating difficulty on tracking her movements as the crackling petals spreads out in two masses. One going left, the other going right. Both curve at high velocity towards Yui, forming a prince attack. Simultaneously, Inarie quite literally flew over the short gap between them in a tenth of a second at most. Afterimages trailing behind her as she certainly moved faster than her petal swarm.

Wind becomes distorted upon Inarie's wake as she quickly, perhaps instantly to Yui's vision, onto her opponent. Within reach Inarie will swing her crackling sword with intensive force using the flat of her blade. Her swing was also moving at ludicrous speed as well, and so with Inarie attempts to slam the large blade against Yui's chest the woman will also receive intensive shock from touching the blade. Additionally, upon impact an audible boom of thunder will echo throughout the training grounds. Possibly throughout the village as well which will bring questions since there isn't a dark cloud to be seen anywhere. It won't severely injure her, but the voltage will likely send the Uzumaki prone on the ground who suffering from muscle spasms and neural damage to some degree. Much like having her leg going to sleep and experiencing thousands of invisible needles over the limb. Only this one is affecting all over her body assuming the attack connects.

If successful, Inarie will stop much like she was playing baseball honestly. The swarms of petals will hover just behind Inarie while she let's the blade dig into the earth with the tip. It was disturbing to see how easily the blade single into the hard packed dirt with seemingly no resistance as it emits another boom of thunder. Both hands are placed on top of the pommel of her sword mainly contact with it much like a knight. Where she'll wait and see if Yui Uzumaki is ready to either call it quits or keep going.

Inarie's Stuff:

Yui had a feeling she was strong but she was shocked how fast this girl moved, Yui could not even track her movement but her senses knew she needed to defend immediately. Suddenly between where the girl swung and Yui all around her would appear a ball of chains completely wrapping Yui and making her impossible to hit with any sort of jutsu. As her sword would come forward if it struck she would realize this did zero damage to the chains and even drained all the chakra out of her sword.

"That was quite scary and fast I cannot move that fast so sorry I need to be way more defensive. You surprised an old woman like myself even at sixty-four I can be surprised it seems."

Yui while completely surrounded by the chains would activate her chakra enhanced strength and slam her fist as hard into the ground as possible hoping the ground literally cratering in would throw the girl off balance. Yui Would throw some chains off the ball to drag her away from the girl at rapid speeds while still keeping her completely wrapped in a ball of protection. She had no vision of the girl but she also could not be struck by the girl she had to go off her hearing alone and her years of combat experience. If not stopped Yui would move back about thirty meters from then the girl and think of her next plan she could not remain in this ball forever after all.

Stats and Jutsu:

Inarie was certain that she had the advantage. She was certain that whatever defenses this stranger could summon Inarie's blade would cleave through it. Inarie closed that gap near instantly, and even took extra precautions to make tracking her as difficult as possible. Much to her efforts as a Genin, Yui Uzumaki produces these weird chains and some kind of barrier that not only blocked Inarie's heavy blade with not even a glint. It also nullified the chakra that was flowing through the sword. Turning into just the bone sword of jet black edges and the blue scales cover the fuller. It surprisingly didn't crack or chip since this was surprisingly tough even for a normal Shikotsumyaku.

Yui Uzumaki apologized for the sudden defense mechanism, but in respects Inarie was giving it her all with this one shot. Inarie doubts that she can pull the same trick on Yui twice. Inarie sees that Yui was moving to slam a fist into the earth, but Inarie was thinking that Yui was going to use earth release. So Inarie proceeds to gracefully leap up in the air with her dragon blade still in hand as Yui cracks the ground in the vicinity and upheavals on itself. Leaving the Kaguya to wonder what kind of monstrous power this Uzumaki would need to pull off such a feat. Still Inarie felt herself descend towards the upturned earth. So Inarie flips her body with the mighty sword aiming towards the ground where it easily sank deep. Because it was wide enough, Inarie lands on her large sword as she gazed at this bubble Yui Uzumaki had on her.

"That was my best shot at you. But how long do you think you can maintain those chains? I don't want you collapsing on me." Inarie admitted as it might have sounded arrogant, but really she was concern. The chains and the barrier fascinated Inarie. It was unlike anything she had seen, and this was the first time she struck something that nullified the chakra. Granted her petals were still there as they practically spiralled around Inarie in two masses. So her guess is that the chains has to touch the subject to nullify chakra. That was a bit scary to consider.

Inarie's Stuff:

Yui could see the look of confusion on the girl's face, her attack was blocked but the stoppage of chakra likely also had her confused. It was clear this girl had never dealt with an Uzumaki, Yui would smile at her question as much as she was playing it off as not a worry it did cost her a lot of Chakra, still now that she had her chains and her strength up she could certainly do some attacks.

This was when Yui thought of a devious plan, one thing genin needed to know before the exams were not to fall for ploys of the enemies so she would put her to the test. If she fell for this it would be a valuable lesson if she did not Yui could only respect her potential new genin under her belt. Yui would suddenly clutch her chest as her chains would spread out on the ground around her. She would make herself appear to be having a heart attack as she clutched her chest to appear to be in great pain. She would drop her chakra enhanced state as this was just a test of she appeared to be losing control over her chakra it would seem more realistic as she would move the chains to just inside the palm of her hand holding her chest. If Inarie came to help her she would laugh latch the chains and teach her the lesson if she did not the girl was more than ready for exams.

Stats and Jutsu:

Current events took a turn when apparently the Uzumaki lost control over her technique. Which was odd in her mind since she's never really encountered someone losing control over themselves. Perhaps this technique took a toll on her mind as well as on her body? Inarie wasn't entirely sure, but still Inarie stringed a few handseals as she generates Raiton chakra within her body. If the barrier is still up, Inarie will aim an extended palm a little bit lower as a bolt of lightning slithers to strike against the ground under Yui's feet. Seeking to unbalance her as Inarie gracefully hops down while magnetizing her feet on the sundered ground. One hand reaching for the greatsword, with a sharp tug Inarie pulls out the dragon blade as it lacerates it's way out of the earth like it was paper.

"If you lost control over something like this, then you have no place on the battlefield with a jutsu like that. Either regain control yourself or I will incapacitate you." Inarie spoke like she held authority, like she didn't care what rank Yui might have been. The large sword rests on Inarie's shoulder as her exposed skin could feel the chill in the air. Her eyes fierce and focused at Yui. The swarms of pale blue petals orbiting around Inarie as she simply observes and wary. Situations like this was unfamiliar territory with her, but her militaristic mindset sees this as a major weakness. Something that was a heavy liability in her mind.

Yui could only chuckle the girl did not fall for her ruse it appeared, Yui would slowly stand once again and smile at her. She was impressed she didn't fall for it, this genin was likely going to become a Chuunin soon her aura around her she was well prepared.

"Sorry if it seemed dirty but I was trying to bait you in the exams there will be those that try to find a weakness and exploit it. I, for now, am the Jounin that's your sensei but I don't think you will have to worry about that for long you likely will become Chuunin in the exams. You did have one glaring weakness just like I have one, the fact if your instant blow fails leaves you in trouble, but I am sure you only used that against me and that is not your main style of fighting. Either way, good job you passed my little test with flying colors never underestimate and opponent and never let yourself fall prey to their trickery."

She made it clear she was not fighting the girl any further and was done with the battle she saw what she needed to from her and was very impressed quite powerful for a genin. Yui could have easily made this fight much harder but there was no need, she would glad to see how ready for the exams the girl was, however, she had to also work with her genin team. As an individual she was strong but how would she work with her squad.

"As you know the exams also focus on squad work and I know the names of those in your squad, it's up to you guys to figure out who you want to lead or the vocal leader. I would suggest yourself but thas not how it always works sometimes having the strongest not take the lead is better, you know your limits but might not understand the limits of your squad."

She hoped the girl did not take this as an insult but everything she said was true, Yui had lived a long time and saw many that were strong get their squads killed because they didn't understand not everyone is as powerful as they are.

Yui Uzumaki appeared to be unfazed by the crackling of lightning sundering the earth beneath her feet. To which given how the woman was fighting earlier, Inarie had range and attack power while Yui Uzumaki had the power and defense. The act dropped and Yui revealed her true colors. What the purpose behind this was, and frankly Inarie didn't even realize that this jounin was her new sensei. So that came to a surprise for Inarie. Still from Yui's assessment of Inarie's tactic she raised a brow at the notion.

Inarie proved the point by lifting the large blade from her shoulder as she pumps large amounts of chakra into the blade. It crackles to life like a rushing torrent of energy crackling and chirping in sync of hundreds of birds. And she's only wielding it in one hand this time.

"I can keep going, albeit I'll be hitting my reserves soon. But I am glad I passed your test Yui-Sensei." With a flourish of her wrist to the blade it twirled around her form only once. Where Inarie will plunge the sword into the earth as it easily sinks into the ground like a hot knife to butter. Additionally, it emits another crackling boom of thunder as the soil fractured around the impact of the blade. It even sank to almost halfway and that was when Inarie let go of the blade.

"Perhaps I will win, perhaps I won't. Tests are always unknown until I'm already in it, but I promise to tackle every problem not just with might. But with strategy as well. Thank you for your time sensei." Inarie bowed with courtesy. Showing the respect that is usually expected from a Genin addressing their superiors. After Yui finished explaining with praise, Inarie took a moment of looking around. Sadly she does not see where Kitsuki had run off to. Perhaps Kitsuki came upon the fight at some point and somehow Inarie scared Kitsuki off? It was a brief exchange between the two, but it was a possibility.

"It seems that the person I originally was meeting with has abandoned me. Oh well, they challenged, I accepted, so by default I win." Inarie briefly explained what transpired as far as Inarie knew. Now Inarie did say they didn't have to spar right now, but the girl was so eager and fired up. Who was Inarie to refuse such passion? Either way, Inarie presents another bow before bidding farewell.

"I more than likely will need your assistance in the future Yui-Sensei. I gotta prepare for the Chunin Exams now, so if you'll excuse me." With a turn on her heel, Inarie will begin to leave the training grounds. Albeit she looked down and realized that the only thing covering her chest is a strapless bra. A click of her tongue as the dragon blade had ripped her shirt. Inarie adjusted the shirt and kept her back exposed while the shirt covered the front. As she was leaving, the great sword that was being left behind slowly begin to petrify and scattering with the wind like ash.
