Time to step up to the plate and show the world what he could do. Or at least the people that were in the room. Shien was standing with Hayato, evenly spaced out while Tiatsu stood there and mentioned the rules of the fight. While they were told to form the unison sign, Shien did just that. He locked eyes with Hayato and considered the different things that were going on right now.

He was dressed up, fully decked out with his weapon arsenal, he was psyched up and the wait for the go ahead wasn't much of an issue for Shien. In his mind he was running all sorts of battle plans in his mind. Hayato and he were a good match up, but the elemental different was the major problem. However, Shien was more than capable of fighting against the odds on an even playing field.

His tools were in his pouches, two kunai had explosive tags tied to them and his opponent was ready to get into the fray just as much as he was. "I'm not gonna make it easy you know." He jestingly said to Hayato moments before the hand came down and gave them the go ahead.

Shien spread his legs and broke off toward Hayato at the same time his friend and enemy came at him. They shared the same idea to go into taijutsu at the start, and Shien's legs spread and cnetered his weight on them. A right hook came for the left side of his jaw and Shien responded by thrusting his left hand out, fingers in a spear hand formation while aiming for the tendons on the backside of Hayato's left elbow. Hitting them would cause a nice nerve shock to the arm that it was attached to and leave a tingling feeling for it. His arm would also be moving so that his upper arm would meet the path of the hook and keep it away from his face, looking to cricle his arm around and grapple Hayato.

Meanwhile, his right hand came out, open palm striking at Hayato's windpipe. He was looking to incapacitate right off the bat or at least bruise the very thing he needed to get breath in and out of his body without a struggle. Hitting that neck with a palm strike as if he were going to choke his friend would shove Hayato back and leave him gasping for air. But this might be a close ranged grapple and slug fest until someone decided to break away!
