Woodland Scuffle [Training]

Zeke walked into the heavily wooded area where he would train for the first time. In this case, he requested to train with a Jounin of the village. There was a response from the village that one would be present. No more information was given to who it was, then again it would have not mattered. Zeke didn't know any of the Jounin of the village, to begin with. He wasn't assigned a team, he was kind of doing his own thing at this point to climb the ranks. Which was fine for him for the most part. Not that he wouldn't take a team if he was assigned one it's just this whole lone wolf thing was working for the moment. No point to ruin a good thing he got going. Maybe he could team up with Hao later on down the road, Zeke enjoyed the one mission they had together. He looked around the area, noticing all of the damage to the area from previous training sessions. Obvious scarring was present on the surrounding trees showing signs of a battle had taken place. So the place had some mileage on it. Zeke took in a deep breath, taking in the area around him. He then let the said breath go and began to limber up. Hopefully, the Jounin in question wouldn't take to long to show themselves. Zeke focused for a moment listening to the very calm sounds of the forest to see if there was any change in the area. Who knows what kind of person this Jounin was, he could even try to ambush Zeke. So he was on high alert as a good ninja should be.

The cold breeze of the morning air would pick up slightly. Swirling the thick mist of the lands of Mizukage. The tree's roots seemed to be wrapped in it like a carpet. The blonde boy would not be there for long as there sounded a chuckle in the air. His eyes searching for this jounin they sent him. From the mist a shadowy figure would slide from between two tree's and then fade into the mist like it was never there. From the opposite direction he would see it again. Once more the image would fade. A third time directly in front of him now red eyes would seem to shine from a shadow in the mist before it faded again. All this was a simple distraction. Something to keep the attention anywhere but the silent man settling on a nearby rock behind him. Only once Five would settle would he allow himself to be easily detected. He would release something even a small child could feel. An aura that shifted the grass and brought leaves to fall. Like a weight was being placed on the mind. It was a simple sensation but only for a moment. Malice. The thing behind him was no man but a monster. The thing of nightmares.

And then it was gone. Lingering on the air like a memory but simply gone. There on a rock sat Yurei Five. A pale but tall man with purple hairs and purple eyes that did not reflect a kindness. Instead they seemed to study the boy before him. As if no secrets could be kept from him. Five was wearing black pants with metal shin guards and steel toed boots. One each hip was a trench knife and on his back was a katana. He was wearing a black long sleeve with a leather vest. Five himself seemed a little thin. Perhaps even lacking proper muscle definition. But those eyes were something else. Like the eyes of something that hunted prey not for sustenance or survival but for sheer pleasure. The eyes of a predator. When Five spoke he leaned forward. Resting his arms which had metal arm guards as well across his knee's and rubbing his hands together. Black and crimson on every other nail. His voice was hypnotic. As if one could let their guard down and relax. Though the eyes reminded anyone who saw them never to do that.

"Tell me boy, have you heard the tale of the foolish prince who sought to claim the sun?"

Zeke continued to stretch before catching a glimpse of something off in the distance, for a moment it looked as if a person was there. He stood up from his limbering session to make sure he wasn't seeing things. He wasn't unnerved but as stated before he was already on high alert. He had no idea of who this person was that he was supposed to train with. Then from the opposite direction, the figured appeared once more, a glint of red could be seen through the mist which made Zeke pick up more of a fighting stance this time. He was unsure of what was coming just needed to be ready to dodge or retaliate in kind. Then it came an unsettling feeling of malice and menacing crept up his spine causing him to face the direction it was coming from. Still unsure of what to expect he was ready to go at a moment's notice. Was it a monster? A demon? No, it was naught but a mere man sitting on a rock directly behind him.

Facing the individual that was called out to train Zeke only smiled. “Neat trick.” He said calmly with a toothy grin. Trying to show he was unfazed by this man's tactics. Clearly it was to make an entrance and a lasting impression on him. Zeke said nothing for a moment meeting the eyes of the man. Something wasn't right something sinister hid behind those eyes. The man seemed relaxed having made himself known. The individual in question was roughly ten meters away from Zeke, a minor distance between them. A gap that could be closed in an instant, if either side decided to take that chance. The man spoke, his voice has a soothing nature to it, one could even call it hypnotic, it came in the form of a question. Zeke began to bounce on his toes, “No but I have a feeling you are going to tell me, or rather show me.”

Five would tilt his head and examine the boy a little more before he was satisfied. He would listen to him stating the fact that Five was going to tell him or rather show him the story. What a brilliant idea. Idly he would gather forth some minute chakra and between them in their minds it would seem like the dirt would begin to swirl. A tiny sun and city rising out of it. Suddenly it would zoom in on a faceless wooden man in royal garb. His crown hanging from his head. "There once was a prince who sought to own the sun. All the sea, the sky and the land were his for as far as the eye could see but the sun came and went every day without his permission." The sun would go down and the prince would be left in darkness. His wooden hands slammed the railing and then suddenly it shifted to him riding with a dozen men after the sun. "He was convinced that even the sun should bow to him. In his pride he ran to the ends of the earth. Screaming at the sun every day. Far from his kingdom. The men with him finding their ends protecting him here and there." The men following him would one by one be picked off by shadowy figures until only he remained. His crown and clothes torn and his body withered. "Eventually he realized the sun did not answer to him. That he could not control it. So he returned home only to find the kingdom was no longer his. His long years away they had assumed him dead. A new prince sat on the throne. Now he owned nothing. And lived his days destitute. Still screaming at the sun for its defiance." the scene would show the wooden man opening its mouth and silently screaming. And then it would all fade. Five smiling to the boy.

"Lesson one, do not get lost in search of power. You may lose something you won't be able to obtain again."

Zeke watched the man tilt his head and wait there for a moment. A bit of silence crept between them then a feeling rushed over him as if his chakra was reaching out somehow. A vision of a tiny sun and a city rising. There he would see a faceless wooden man in a royal outfit. A crown hung from his head then the man spoke. He told the story of a prince who sought to own the sun. A futile attempt at a grab at power. Zeke listened very closely to the individual, not giving up his defensive stance as an attack could come at any moment. After the story was told and the visions faded. A smile was on the individual's face.

Something stuck in the man's words, 'do not get lost in search of power. You may lose something you won't be able to obtain again.'

Which it did apply to Zeke in some aspects. He knew if he wanted to be one of the best ninjas around he would have to grab at power in some form. Chase after power in his attempt to climb the mountain top. There were other ninja's climbing to the summit with him. The trouble was, trying not to get lost in the search of power. Zeke knew down the road he was going to have to make some hard choices that would change him forever. He heard the man's words and took them to heart. “Cool trick and ya I am aware of trying not to get lost along my way down the path of a ninja. Now that you have told this story are we going to get down to business?”

Five would watch and listen to the boy. His purple eyes studying him. How interesting. He seemed to have a bit of a mouth on him and was eager to get something more physical started. Five would tilt his head as if thinking a moment before he would sigh. If the boy wanted to spout about getting started than they would. Five would rise from the stone he was sitting on as malice began to fill the air again. He hadn't sparred in some time and it might be nice to go full speed. He would smile as his eyes seemed to darken. There was a pressure in the air now. Not like something was overwhelmingly powerful, just that there was danger present. There was no kindness in that smile. Most of his lesser enemies wouldn't dare approach through that sensation. But certainly not this boy. This young blonde man would prove himself. Surely he would press through that inevitable fear that salivated the mouth and rose the hairs on ones arms and neck. He would most certainly press through that and be ready for the fight he had picked. After all Five wouldn't have been sent out here just to tell stories.

Five would stand his full height. Not that he was of any imposing stature but somehow he would seem to loom like a great shadow. He was talented in showing his opponents or rather prey that he was not to be messed with. It would be almost palpable for Zeke like a taste on the air that this was dangerous. However there was no way that the administration would allow a Jounin to kill or permanently maim the kid. That would just be silly. No, Zeke was safe here. Just enough danger to really get some training in. Five would let out a breath as steam rose from the corners of his mouth. His feet forming a T shape with his left foot back and his right foot pointed at Zeke. Slightly spread apart for balance as his knee's bent to lower his stance slightly. His hands rising with his right hand raised in an open hand about chin level and his left hand curling into a fist at his hip so hard it could be easily heard as the knuckles popped.

"Very well boy. Show me your power."

Zeke watched the individual in question stand to his full height. A feeling of malice filled the air, so thick you could cut it with a knife. That did not scare Zeke he had no room to be scared. This was an unforgiving world, any sense of hesitation would be met with death. He watched closely as the air twisted and became tainted with killing intent. Zeke wondered if this guy meant to kill him, surely that wasn't the case. That didn't turn him away from wanting to train with this individual. In fact, it made him excited regardless of what hid behind those darkened eyes and a false smile. Zeke grinned because the best way to get to know someone was through their fists. One's passion and personality hid behind them only to be revealed in the heat of battle. As the man took his fighting stance which signaled he was ready. Zeke had high hopes for this bout, all of this tension in the air meant that the guy had some sort of fighting ability. Zeke pressed forward with all of his might with one hand back open as a means to deflect any incoming attack. Meanwhile his dominant hand-fired forward in the form of a fist jabbing at the man. The jab was aimed at the face of the individual. If that connected he would follow up with a cross aimed at the jawline of the individual. If not he would keep that hand close for the defensive measure.

Five would watch the boy push off hard. Good form behind it, lots of intent with no hesitation. A charge with no reserves holding back. Both hands put to use to quickly defend and attack. A jab was the opening move it would seem. A light blow to test at your opponents reflexes. Interesting. His open hand already in position would rise and turn to deflect it away from him. Good power behind it too. A little sloppy but not much worse than the best that Five could do at the moment. However Five held the experience here. When he deflected the blow with his open hand he attempted to do a light grab and tug. If he succeeded it would pull the offending arm in front of the defending arm. Perhaps Five was going to make an opening with his forward hand to attack with his back hand? Five would shift his shoulder as if to do so but only as a distraction. It was how he fought after all. He would step with his foot to the side now exposed from the jabbing hand. Attempting to pull and spin as he did. If he had a good enough grip he would take the speed of his opponents forward momentum and pull him harder forward. Not really attacking so much as deflecting and then letting him charge further than he intended. Less effort on Fives part and removing him from the immediate threat. Either way Five would hop back two steps and prepare for the next assault.

"Good. If you are going to attack commit to it. However be prepared not to lay your eggs all into a direct charging attack. Anything moving in a direct line is easily dealt with by helping it along that direct line. This time try getting close to me and then use some foot work to shift and come at me from one of my sides. "

Zeke's jab was deflected as expected which afterward he retracted it back to avoid his hand getting grabbed. Zeke used his defending hand to push the man's hand away quickly as the man shifted his body to try and create an opening in Zeke's stance. Zeke quickly pushed off the man backwards to stop himself from going forward. He then took a step back and continued to bounce on his toes as if he was gearing up for another attack. 'Good reactions.' he thought to himself. The man spoke giving good advice. He was correct that Zeke did not completely commit to the attack. The jab was just a test for the guy's reaction. The direct charging attack was merely an introduction to what Zeke was truly capable of doing. He usually avoided moving in a straight line to avoid any contact with an attack. He followed the man's instructions this time. He slid in closer but from the left to try and attack the man's side. First a jab aimed at the side of the man's head and then a lower cross aimed at the man's abdomen. He wouldn't stop there. If the attacks were successful he would continue with a barrage of jabs aimed at the man's side to knock him off balance. This time he was on full offense with no regard for defense.

Five would watch with purple eyes as he would smile. This boy was good. Surprising for a genin but he supposed that many around here were. With the exams happening this was to be expected. Oh deary me he would think to himself. At this rate they would be far superior to him. What was he to do? The boy had reacted well and pushed off the contact to jump back and fight his own momentum. He was bouncing on his toes now. Likely preparing for a new attack. That feeling of danger lingered in the air. It was good that Zeke was able to fight his survival instincts and test the waters so to speak. They were about equal in speed now. Perhaps it was time to engage in a new tactic. He would follow Zeke's movements as the boy shifted to his side in a burst of speed and came at him. Now Five had to turn to not be at a disadvantage. One arm versus two. However that wouldn't do much more for a lesson than give Zeke a fair spar. This was to be a learning experience. So an experience it would be. A twitch in Okane's smile was the only warning Zeke would give aside from a flood of blood lust.

In reaction to the boy charging him Five would reach down quickly to his thigh and yank out one of his trench knives. In a fluid motion he would draw it and use the extra length of his lanky arm and now the big knife to take a swipe at Zeke's face. Loosely aiming at his eyes of all things. It was dangerous now. A blade had been introduced and Five now had more reach than Zeke did. Not only that where Zeke had been attempting a two pronged attack Five was aiming to blind him. However Five's other hand wasn't hanging loosely at his side but instead it moved to open palm intercept the second strike if Zeke followed through despite the new dangerous addition to the spar. If Zeke backed up to regroup Five would not chase but instead speak again. If Zeke did not retreat Five would continue to hold the trench knife in a reverse grip in his right hand. He still had another knife on him too.

"Good. Coming at an opponent from one side reduces his ability to defend. If possible attempt to come from a blind side or even behind them. There is no honor in fighting an opponent you intend to kill as a ninja. Honor gets people dead. One must be ruthless to come out on top. Tell me, are you afraid of being cut?"

Zeke got in close to attack but he quickly found himself stopping his assault quickly. The man had pulled a trench knife out and swung it in such a way that it was aimed directly at Zeke's face. Mainly his eyes. He found himself leaning back and stepping backward quickly to get out of range completely of the attack. Zeke wasn't too happy about the sudden usage of a weapon. Then again no strict rules were set in this fight so it technically wasn't against any set rules. He was a bit cross about the situation. But this only made him grin at the situation now he was on the defensive. Being about a hop away from the man he did not chase but only speak. Zeke listened to the man's words which he spoke the truth. There was no honor in fighting someone you intended to kill. Killing someone would happen at some point it was a necessity as a ninja. Can't call yourself an elite assassin without getting your hands dirty.

“No, I am not afraid of getting cut, maybe losing an eye. I am guessing since there is no honor involved we are moving past just using our hands. As you now have a knife.”

Zeke would keep his hands up ready to intercept any incoming attacks the man may throw out. “By the way, I never caught a name, the names Zeke.”

Five would tilt his head as the boy gained some distance and held his hands up to defend himself. A sly smile playing on his face. The knife would twirl in his hand a moment before catching it in the upright position now. Purple eyes watching the young man as he mentioned the want to keep an eye. Oh that was right, He wouldn't know Five was a capable med nin. They hadn't really officially met after all. The boy had been so interested in training that they had yet to do proper introductions. Five would shift his stance to a more comfortable form. Standing up right with his feet spread apart as he spun the blade around a finger by a ring on the pommel.

"Yes I suppose introductions are in order. Zeke was it? Pleasure. I am Yurei Five. Jounin of the mist. I am actually rather surprised they didn't have you heed any warning of me. After all they only recently released me from prison. As for blades. Did you not bring any equipment? Even if the intent is to train one should always be prepared to be besieged by another force opposing their own. Especially if they requested it. Now then I want you to attempt to attack me. You are in a situation now where you are at a disadvantage. Can you overcome it?"

A smile would play on Five's lips like he was up to something. Certainly not to be trusted. It was said the Yurei clan could see all. No one could long hide anything from them and even the byakugan and sharingan were often fooled by them. Yet they were rare as shinobi. Five would return his blade in his left hand to the reverse grip as his right pulled free his other trench knife. Holding it in a reverse grip with both about center level as if it were a partial muay Tai stance. His right leg lifted slightly so only the toes were on the ground. It was an aggressive stance indeed. Highly suggestive of bursts in directional speed and a combination of knee's and elbows with blades. Five was no amateur. Still that was not the most alarming thing. Five's eyes shifted to a deep glowing red. Shadowing his eyes and face in comparison. The Dojutsu was active now. Those red eyes seemed to observe all. The dangerous intent in the air doubled in strength now. Five would cut Zeke. That wasn't to be doubted.

Five adopted more of a free form stance that would allow him to attack and defend effectively. He looked comfortable in his position. Hearing the man talk made a bit more sense as to why Five pulled a knife on him so suddenly. Fresh out of prison and already trying to take out someone's eye. That could only be expected. He was right in the aspect of always being prepared. Never know what could happen it was better to expect the unexpected. Zeke's honor and naive nature were showing. Not everyone played by the same set of rules so why should he? Then again Zeke did not carry around any sort of knives or long-bladed weapons. He relied heavily on his hands, feet, chain mail shirt and shuriken to get the job done. Maybe it was time to invest in something more for the future. He would have to get some ryo first to do so, he did spend all of it in preparation for the exam.

“No one warned me, or anything like that. It was completely random as to who was going to be sent out here to train with me. I brought some equipment I just tend to rely on my hands and feet to do the job. I was hoping you would attack since you have the upper hand but if you say so.”

'Damn he is really forcing my hand here.' Zeke watched the man grab a second knife and adopt a more aggressive stance. His eyes began to glow a bright red, it seemed that he was going to get serious here. 'Fine I guess I can go all out.' He thought while taking a more aggressive stance too. This time his hands were clenched tightly and he began to shuffle his feet back and forth. He stepped forward with all of his might, charging at Yurei. Right before he reached him his feet ignited carrying him into the air right above Yurei. While in the air Zeke punched downward at him unleashing a five-meter cone explosion that covered ten meters. He would land behind Yurei and dash again but this time to the right to cut off any sort of escape if Yurei went right. He punched forward again unleashing yet another explosion with the same yield and size.

Spoiler:

Yurei could see it now. The life force flowing through the young man. It was violent and aggressive. Potent even. Even as the boy began to shuffle his feet his life force surged. Five would feel his dojutsu taking its toll but only a little for now. Instead it was serving him well. There was an aggressive power surge as his life force glowed a certain color around the boys feet and starting to do an even greater amount around the boys hands. Five would dig his toes in as the boy charged and wait for whatever was planned. Those red eyes seemed to see everything. Moving chakra around was like a warning flag to him. As the first bang went off it was a bit of a surprise but it was like a trigger for Five to move. Suddenly Zeke was even faster than before but Five was already moving. Five charged head on to where Zeke had just been. The explosion from the punch where he had just been causing burns to lick at his back and singe his skin but there was too much focus now. So that was the talent of this kid? Wonderful. Simply wonderful.

As Zeke landed behind Five, the Yurei would slam his heels and launch backwards to attempt to slam back to back with the kid. If those explosions came from the kids fists he couldn't afford to be caught in them. Not directly in their path anyway. He needed to be too close to use those without catching himself in his own blasts. As a second punch seemed to attempt to turn and cut off any escape Five might have with a second blast Five would attempt to step with the boy back to back and with the hand opposite the one that just tried to punch him he would attempt to stab the trench knife into the offending forearm. His other free knife would slam down and attempt to stab into the Zekes opposing hip from that hand. Attempting to land either anchor point so the boy couldn't turn. The burns on his back hurt but he would manage. It was just surface damage after all. No muscles were effected. The armor took the brunt of the concussion from the blast so close to him. "Impressive." Five would grunt to Zeke.

(Don't worry about keeping track of chakra for now. This is just playful sparring. I will heal us after)

As Zeke landed his feet cracked the ground beneath. He then quickly prepared himself for the retaliation but Five had moved. He came through the smoke with immense speed in a attempt to slam back to back with Zeke. He didn't give him much of a chance though. Zeke's feet exploded once more launching him to the right of Five. He was moving at his top speed, nay a little faster this time around. This time he was going to lead with a different attack. Zeke spun his body around so he was facing Five as he launched himself backwards towards Zeke. With two hands Zeke thrusted them forward launching a singular attack that would cover the distance between them in a instant. This attack came in the form of a directed explosion that would travel in a forward moving line at Five's chest. He would have almost no time to react due to the potency of this attack. It was one meter in diameter and moved at almost break neck speeds. Zeke would regain himself and jump back to a safe distance after the attack was fired to keep himself away from the knives Five used. He wasn't in a mood to get stabbed after all.

Spoiler:

Five would hear the sound of the explosion from the boys feet behind him. So he was quick to keep some distance eh? The arena was still smoldering with dust clouds from all these explosions knocking debris into the air. Five dug his toes in as he could guess what was coming next. This kid was explosion happy and well if he had the card he may as well play it. Five would launch himself forward and curl into a ball. Crossing his arms over the back of his head while being mindful of the knives. The explosion tossed him a little off to the opposite direction of the boy but his armor protected him from the brunt of it. And since he didn't take it head on the effectiveness was reduced considerably. Now there was a new cloud of fresh dust in the air and since both went opposite directions the sight between them was cut off. The downside to using repeated explosives in a small area was that small area filled smoke and dust from the ground getting demolished. Five would roll to his feet and use the daggers to drag himself to a stop as he smiled. So the kid didn't want up close and personal? Alright. Lets play a game.

Five would step to the right quietly. Keeping low as he did. Slow movements so as not to cause the air to shift around him too much. Letting the kid stew in which direction Five would come from. Or perhaps that explosion did some significant damage? Either way Five would sheath his knives and activate his blood line. His eyes glowing red now as he could easily see through all the smoke between them. He could see the life force of Zeke and the explosive chakra flowing through him. How he moved and where he was. Five would take a deep breath while forming the hand signs for Rat - Rabbit - dog in rapid succession but quietly. He was being mean but those explosions were an issue. So he would try some ranged techniques. The only warning would be the sudden dispersion of smoke from Zeke's left unless he had his own sensory technique. Five was careful with his aim as he breathed out seven bullets in a rapid fire. One for each shoulder, knee, elbow and the last one for center gut. All the bullets moving at A rank speed from around fifteen meters away.

Two jutsu used:

Zeke was about fifteen meters away from the smoke and destruction after his attacks. He didn't stay there long though. He waited for a moment to see if there was any movement in the smoke. He got a little worried for a moment, maybe he got too explosion happy and wanted to make sure that Five was okay. “You alright in there?” Zeke yelled while keeping his guard up. Little did Zeke know by doing this he gave Five the time he needed to plan and use a method of attack. This was a big mess up on Zeke's part. Suddenly from the cloud of smoke projectiles came out moving at speeds that Zeke couldn't really see all that clearly. The only thing he could do at the last possible moment was fall backward with his arms crossing over his face. He felt the sharp pains of the impact of the attack. He was blown backward onto the ground where he felt sharp pain all over his body. He couldn't really move at that very moment due to the pain he was in. He didn't yell out or anything just kind of rolled around on the ground in pain with his eyes closed.

Five would watch as the kid did the unexpected. He crossed his arms and took the hit. Well shit. Five had gotten carried away and bullied a genin. Honestly though this kid had proven he was strong. If Five hadn't taken it to this level then likely he wouldn't have done more than compete. Those explosions were potent. His body still stung from the ones that had caught him. His armor had taken the brunt of it and his movements had reduced the damage but it still did damage. It was unique to Five this kids power. A taste of it anyway. If this one trained for a while longer and Five continued to slack then this one may just surpass Five entirely. Well that was to be encouraged. It was fitting this Zeke chose to train with a Jounin rather than other genin or a chunnin. He was well on his way to being on that level. Really the only reason Five had come out on top was a matter of higher tier jutsu. Not actual skill. Not that he would admit it openly. Still he would rise fully to his feet as the kid rolled around in pain.

Immediately as he stood up and the dust began to clear from the wind jutsu his eyes would slip upwards at a sign of movement. Above them on either side of Five two ANBU that had been assigned to watching him finally revealed themselves. A large man wearing a bears fur with metal claws on his hands and a bear mask. The other was a tiny woman wearing a mouse mask and on her back was a bladed wheel. Both simply stared at Five with cold eyes as their stances suggested they were ready to put down the rabbit. He smiled up to them with a closed eyed smile and waved before putting both his hands up in mock surrender. They were there to make sure Five didn't do something foolish while under observation like say, murder someone. They had remained perfectly hidden up until now. Selected for their abilities to mask their presence from even him. The village wasn't ran by fools after all. They knew of his clans bloodline in depth. Of his capabilities. They had been watching and now that he had the upper hand they would kill him if he tried to pursue his blood lust with this one.

Five would slowly move forward. Hands up as he approached the boy rolling in pain on the ground. "Now now, stay still and try not to blow me up if you would. I am going to heal you now. I may have gotten too excited by your abilities. You impressed me Zeke. Not many catch my attention like you did." The two ANBU would watch on edge and ready to come in slicing as Five reached Zeke. If Zeke let him Five would kneel down and with the appropriate hand seals his hands would glow a healing green. One hand would reach up to Zeke's shoulder and the other to his knee. If allowed Zeke would immediately feel the pain receding. Not immediately gone but it was fading quickly as the wounds on his body would begin to fade. Five would speak as he continued to heal. Purple eyes studying the wounds as they closed with passive interest. "This is going to take a moment my dear so while I work, do you have questions? This was for training after all. Even if I went overboard I do hope you learned something. Experience is the shield that wards off death on the battlefield after all."

Zeke laid there on the ground writhing in pain. He opened his eyes to see two individuals appeared off in the distance. Both wearing the mask of the ANBU. They were well equipped as well. Zeke was completely unsure as to why they were present. Where they there for Five, or other reasons? Regardless five put his hands up while slowly moving towards Zeke. So they were there for Five, or to make sure he didn't do anything against the village's orders, like killing a genin. Five moved over to Zeke's side and took a knee. Zeke smiled at Five's comment before uttering out, “Thanks I guess,” He let out a laugh but the pain settled in. Five placed his hands on Zeke's shoulder and knee and he began to use something to heal him. The pain in his body slowly receded and he could feel his body relaxing from the pain. Zeke laid there and let out a sigh of relief. “Not much in the question department just good fight, I have much to train and I did learn a bit I appreciate that.” Zeke sat up after all of his wounds were healed and slowly got to his feet. He jumped up and down to feel that his pain was gone. The ANBU watching was still on edge due to Five being so close to Zeke. “No problems here guys we were just sparring and got a little carried away!” He yelled to soothe them. It be a shame to lose such a strong Jounin for no reason at all. “Regardless of as much as I enjoyed this, I think its time I took my leave. It's getting late. Next time I will be ready for you don't you worry.”

[Exit]

Five would be finished healing the boy as he hopped up and tested his body out. Finding no issues the boy called out to the two watching and they made a hand sign each before fading away into mist. Still around somewhere but specialized in keeping hidden even from Five. The kid would mention being ready for him next time and Five smiled before the kid took off. Only once he was gone would Five set about healing himself. Not wanting the genin to see how close he came to winning as he was. Still once his burns were healed he would set about heading home himself. He needed to train too it seemed.

Exit thread.
