Clan Challenge: Ayame vs Taco

It hasn't been a long time since taco became the senju leader, and there was a lot of paperwork to work through for the senju district and a lot more accounting paperwork. And he wasn't very good at this type of stuff. He has spent a few days after his last training session with ren and the others, which was a long day peragus was a strong opponent. It was fruitful. The spar against him was superb, and it gave taco some ideas to improve his taijutsu and what he needed to work on. It was a shame he didn't manage to do much in that fight, but it was okay because none of that mattered to him at this moment in time. He is working on all the paperwork he has been working on for days, and then suddenly, he receives a message that someone in the clan is unhappy with him. He was told that they were unhappy with him being a low-ranking ninja and the clan's leader; why this now? I'm far too busy to be dealing with anything like this. He was also asked to meet with the elders about this matter. After the messenger closed the doors and left the office, taco sighed heavily and plopped his head down on his desk with a loud thud, " ugh, this is going to be pointless; I can handle it without their opinions ."

Taco stood up from his desk and headed toward the elder's building across this small monk-like temple, the senju leader's office. It was weird. He has met them many times, yet he could never agree with them. In his opinion, the senju elders are the reason the clan is turning for the worst times it is going to see, but he dared not say this out loud. Because if he did, it would not turn out very well for himself or the clan; a few minutes pass as he arrives at their doorstep, and before he knocks on the door, he takes a big deep breath and then knocks on the door. He let himself in, slowly walked forward, and quietly greeted the elders for a few minutes. They talked about the issue, and he understood what they wanted him to do. He left the elder's room, and he called a messenger to get tell them to inform Miss. Ayame that he will meet her at her estate, and he watched the messenger go about the way. He went back to his office to collect himself for a few seconds. " I hope she is friendly or at least pretty ."

After saying that, he decided to start heading toward the home of the clan's member Ayame; he was going fast because the day had already dragged on long enough; she had been waiting for his arrival. He hoped the messenger could deliver the message to her in time before he arrived at her home. It did not take long for him to arrive at her house. As he was getting closer, he started to get a little bit more nervous about the situation, so he decided to stop before getting to the door and take a few breaths, and tried to calm himself as he started to walk forward slowly, trying to get his composure back as he stepped walked up to the front door and knocked on very calmly but with enough force to make sure he was heard he waited a few seconds and then said: " miss Ayame this is taco would you mind if I took a second of your day I hope my message arrived earlier ."

'Town Square, AS'

While taco waited for a response from miss Ayame, he stood in front of the door but heard a bird coming towards him. When he turned around to face it, he extended his left arm in front of him, allowing the bird to land on it. He grabbed the note attached to the bird's leg as he thanked the bird and sent it on its way; he opened the letter and read what he was suspecting anyways that she was not at her estate. He sighed in annoyance.' obviously, she wouldn't be here. It was a public complaint. She challenged me publicly. Why would I come here? I'm so stupid and tired; I need to get this over with. '

From what he read, he saw she was indeed in the senju district center, so he started heading toward the district's center. As he went along, he picked his pace up, lightly jogging to where she was. Before getting there, he decided to experiment to test her skills, but he had to wait a second until he got closer to the location. As he got closer to the area, he bent down on one leg and did two shirt hand signs, the bird and the ox, and then he concentrated and placed his hand on the floor. When he did so, the water rose from the ground as it did. He proceeded to do the tiger hand sign when he did; he started kneading his chakra into a water clone. As he did, he saw the clone form out of the water. He had made it when the clone was complete; he ran atop a building overlooking the town square close enough that if focused, anything could be heard from up there. After he did so, he made the clone move into the town square to find the elders upon her and briefed him on the appearance of miss Ayame. So once he saw her, he made the clone walk closer to her but still stand about three meters away from her and say " hello, I'm taco senju. I'm here to discuss the natter kiss ayame about the complaint. Would you like to discuss it in a more private area or discuss it here while we stand? I'm here to listen to your complaints in person. Could we make this quick, miss Ayame? I have a lot more paper works to finish by tonight, and trust me, it's a lot ?"

Taco crouched on top of the building, ensuring he was out of sight of others and could still listen to Miss Ayame speak and have a good eye on her. This left him unable to see his clone, which mattered nothing to him. As he was finishing, he started to hear Ayame speak; this made him stop moving instantly. He began to watch her closely in case she did attack. Hearing her speak, a few words struck a chord within him. ‘I’ll even let you throw the first punch’. Taco kept still gazing over them until glancing down at his clone. Standing up and taking a stance on the strong fist style, Taco rolled his shoulders to loosen his body up before bending down and lifting himself into the air.


Jumping into the air, he immediately raised his left leg, keeping it close and tight, while his right leg aimed down at Ayame’s face. As he got closer, he released his clone jutsu, which dispersed, falling into a smooth puddle of water. Hoping to catch Ayame off guard, this attack would hit her faster than his regular (C++). If this were to strike, Taco would use the momentum of the impact to jump off of her and land in front of her, smirking. “ I think I just did .” As he moved back a bit and put his hands up again.

As taco rushed through the air with his leg extended outwards because of dynamic entry, he moved at speed he was not accustomed to. His eyes could not keep up with anything other than what he was looking at, which was Ayame. As he got closer, he felt off, like something was not right, but he ignored it. He was about to be in the middle of a fight. He had to focus, and he knew this fight would not be easy for him to win against her, even if he had a slight chance. Taco locked in, and as he got closer to his target, she suddenly vanished the second he made contact with her, or so he thought for a few seconds before he saw her in a different spot.

Taco instantly tried to stop his momentum but knew he couldn't stop it by just landing. He would fall on his face leaving him wide open from landing. Without being prepared as he passed her, he twisted his body mid-air to face the floor and dug his hands into the floor. As he did, he bent his knees as his legs touched the ground to make a complete stop, but when he did, he felt something latch onto him, but as soon as he thought it, he could not move. Taco was looking at the floor while this was happening. He took a deep breath in as he slowly looked up at Ayame. He noticed that he was roughly a meter away. He seemed closer to being an accurate meter away from miss Ayame his arms were extended outwards towards her on the floor, and the rest of him was ready to run at her but sadly, he could do nothing to her.

He watches as she turns towards him and asks if he has yielded. Taco smiled at her. " I see, so you have wood jutsu. That's something those pesky elders forgot about, fine; I know how this will go well if you don't mind humoring me for a bit. I hope you don't mind a small chat ." as he spoke, he started to turn into water. As he finished the sentence, he was utterly a puddle after the last drop landed ok the ground near Ayame. He then turned back to normal " well, hi, my name is taco. I yield, miss Ayame. I am smart enough to know when I can't win, so on to the chat. It's about the elders ."  he was a meter away from her with his hands up in the air. He made sure he was near the puddle the clone had created, still as he looked at her with a smile. " oh, and for good measure, ill repeat this for everyone to hear I, TACO SURRENDER TO AYAME SENJU. SHE HAS BESTED ME ."

As taco listened to Ayame, he watched her demeanor change from a serious look to a more relaxed and easygoing look as she just relaxed and let the binding that surrounded taco. As he stood there, taco felt like he had given up too fast, but he could not do much against someone who had wood. She could stop his every move, and with his mishap, he had lost all chances of winning. Taco notices someone very familiar in the crowd. It wasn't hard to spit anyways since he was probably the only Uchiha around, and he made it known with his bright red eyes it was ten, his dear friend and rival. Taco smiled awkwardly toward him as he looked at him as. Ayame asked taco what he meant about the elders. " well, miss. Ayame, the elders have been on edge lately. They have been in a rush for the last few weeks since I've been a leader. It was strange how I was accepted so quickly and why so much work was thrown at me. They wanted someone to take charge of the clan, and I think they get impatient waiting for you to take fill in the role of leader. They had spoken with me before this and informed me of your capabilities, but I chose to ignore those old fools, so as a warning, be careful around them. They might be plotting something for you when you inform them of your victory. I have lost fair and square, but I promise you I will one day return for this title. On that day, I promise to give you a better battle ." as taco spoke, he was starting to feel a slight rush of sorrow. This had been the first time he had lost so immensely. As he finished his statement, he began to walk off as ten would be something to him. He ignored it as he did not know if he could face his friend. "I'm sorry, friend. We should catch up another time. I don't believe today is a good day." taco patted rens shoulder as he passed him, then raised his hand when he was a bit further " oh, and miss ayame, please take care of the clan. I can promise you that you won't have much paperwork to complete. I've been busy these past few days. "
Taco let out a slight chuckle as he walked away. Little did they know he was battling his inner demons.
