Hayato Sarutobi



Hayato was impressed with how things were going with Michi, his skills were impressive, but to someone as experienced as Hayato who acted a lot on instinct, instead of tactical movements would be able to deal with the pressure between them fighting for power over the scabbard. Hayato’s hand still wrapped around the scabbard would soon feel a sting like sensation which caught him completely off guard. It seemed his hand was cut up by sharp winds in which only stung Hayato in terms of damage. He was able to tank it more than most people as the initial reaction he had instead of jumping away was instinctually going for an attack. The moment Michi followed the activation of the flying swallow with his attempt to get the bell, Hayato was already on the move from instinct as the pain shot to his brain and caused his body to move on its own in a sense. Hayato pulled his hand away from the scabbard which would result in it moving vertically upwards, but failed to cut more of Hayato.



Though his attempt to cut the rope which held the bell was entirely successful. But instead of Hayato instinctually going to protect or counter Michi, he followed with an actual attack out of pure instinct. The moment Michi stepped in Hayato lifted his right hand and swung it forward in a hook like formation. This would be aimed for the side of Michi’s head as he wouldn’t expect this from Hayato. He originally expected Hayato to pull away from pain, but instead he stood there and responded with his own attack as a form of retaliation as Hayato knew, the best time to strike the enemy was when they were striking you. Noting this and the pain inflicted, it was obvious Hayato would have resulted in responding this way instead of getting away. After all Hayato only felt the pain in his hand so there was no real reason to run away. Had this happened successfully, Michi would be met with Hayato’s right hand, the fist digging into the side of his head as he had successfully cut the bells from his waist. The force of this punch would more than likely shock Michi and send him flying in the direction of where the punch went.



Since he was so focused on the bell, he failed to realize Hayato was ready to respond in an aggressive manner. Though Michi successfully got the bells off Hayato’s waist, the flying fist to his head would make him unable to continue follow his motions to retrieve the bell, this being done when he stepped closer into Hayato perimeter when the bells fell. Had this caught Michi in which he would have barely any time to respond to this counter. The stinging pain of physical strength could be felt on his behalf as he would more than likely go unconscious from how hard Hayato hit him by accident. Hayato wasn’t use to having students so sometimes his instincts kicking in could be a bit too much. Had it knocked Michi out Hayato would run over and say “Oh shit! My bad michi! I didn’t meant to hit you that hard! I just kind of reacted instinctually…” Hayato said this in a form of apology, but he did follow and say “But I give you this, you did successfully get the bells of my waist, you didn’t capture them yourself fully, but it was good enough so you pass.” He smiled and waited for Michi’s response. He gave him respect for his efforts and resourcefulness, but it was intercepted sadly by Hayato’s pure instinct.
