Dageki: The day was the same as any other would be; nothing was changing and the winds that crept through the trees surrounding his home were as still and subtle as they possibly could be. THe mist crept over the morning like it did every day before, holding no quarrels with the village itself and overlaying itself as a thick blanket, looking like clouds from a birds-eye view, covering the majority of the village, even the taller apartment-like buildings closer towards the village's center. He was geared as usual, fit for battle. He and his friends had just caught whim of something very important; something influencial that could change the course of their careers as shinobi. The chunin exams were schedules to take place in Konohagakure in the oncoming months. The Hidden mist village's relationship with Konohagakure wasn't spick and span, but it technically wasn't in shambles either. Nothing was going entirely wrong between the two nations, and it seemed that peace was imminent for the timebeing. With this in mind, the chunin exams was still a foreign concept, and had not yet been accepted as complete tradition considering how long ago the village's were formed, but it was definetely one of the first steps towards it. He swung his headband over his head in the usual fashion, and placed his fan firmly in its holster on his back before walking out of the front, double door. The doors were heavy and wooden, and appeared to only be able to get moved by a firm push against its surface. He walked out into the barren yard, a cobblestone pathway soaked with condensation was the next thing for his sandals to touch as he began to walk down it with a care free attitude. Usually, he'd use the sash wrapped around his head to cover one of his eyes, but for the first time he left both his eyes revealed and because of this, his vision was as acute as it could possibly be. He opened them shortly after, noticing how beautiful the world was when you could see with your entire vector, and he smiled in pride of himself seeing as though his training in such matter did come off. It hadn't been long since Kaiori and Karihime were deemed his official team mates for his entire career as a shinobi, and nor was it long that they had found out about the chunin exams officially. They were excited for the upcoming event and felt that they needed to prepare so that they could be the best genin there. They were sure that no matter what they would be going against people from clan's of which they were unfamiliar with, with abilities they were unfamiliar with, and the natural affinity for things they weren't accustomed to. Because of this, they decided as a group to hone their natural sense and abilities, and today would be the first of the attempts to do so. They had planned to meet in their usual place, even though it had been ravaged and torn to pieces because of their previous battle there. Mizumi had assumed he was going to be the first there, and took refuge in the woods just surrounding it after dipping off of the road just a few minutes before. His toes were exposed and soon met with damp leaves and wet soil. Puddles of mud slid between the sections of his sandals as he tried his hardest to avoid contact with the muck. He shook his head in discontent, his face balling up to form a sour look, expressing that he had no interest in getting this dirty. But he was sure that it was going to happen anyway because of the training that they were about to do. Arriving there, he looked around ominously with his eyes peering in every direction through the mist, as he was hardly able to see about 20 feet in front of him. He sat on a boulder relative to his location, his pants dampening instantly upon his sitting, as he released a small groan in frustration. For now he simply waited for them to arrive, then the troublesome events could begin; they'd get stronger no doubt.

WakitorasWakitoras Whisper: CHUNIN EXAMS! This was the only thing going through the mind of Karihime at the time. It was coming fast (pop me a xannie I’m fast, I’m so fast, so faster than sonic man) and Karihime wanted to be at his best. This Chunin Exams were going to be held in Konoha, so Karihime was going up against people and powers that he has never seen before. He and his friends decided it was best to start their start their training early so that they could be some of the best genin during the exams. Mizumi told them that he wanted to meet up at their classic spot to engage in some serious training. Knowing Mizumi, it was going to be an intense day for the three of them. Karihime prepared himself with his everyday ninja clothing. Interestingly enough he grabbed a blind fold and two wooden ear plugs. Running out the door and getting blinded by the sun rays, he placed his hand over his face to try to block some of the bright light that was entering his eyes. He ran with excitement to the location where him and his friends always went as kids. The day was nice outside; there were no clouds and the temperature was roughly 80 degrees. Karihime stopped by the estuary to scoop up some water into a container just in case it got too hot out in the fine day. Upon reaching the field he saw Mizumi who was waiting patiently and always arriving first. He was never late to an event and was always precise while doing things. If he had to be somewhere, he would be there on pin point clock accuracy. “Mizu im here”, Karihime said enthusiastically while waving a black blindfold into the air. He walked closer to Mizu as he took the blind fold and smiled. “I think we should get this down in some fun don’t you think. We’re here to fight kai right? Maybe we should try to get our coordination up with these.” With that Karihime took the blindfold and without question or permission placed it around the eyes of Mizumi and tying it around his head. “there you go”, he said while chuckling. “now you cant see-isn’t that great.” Karihime then took the wooden plugs and placed it in his ears. “Hey Mizumi!”, Karihime said with a loud voice even though he was no more than 2 feet away from him. “I can’t hear. I put plugs in my ears, so now you can’t see and I can’t hear. Ooooo this is going to be fun.” Karihime gave Mizumi and himself a disadvantage during the one on two that they were having against Kaiori. This would require them to talk and communicate with another to get things done smoothly in battle. Karihime thought to himself though- should he have waited for kai to come before he gave them the disadvantage for the battle?

KaioriSama: Kaiori rose out of his bed early this morning in anticipation for the training that would commence today between his best friends and comrades Karihime and Mizumi. See it was 2 months until the chunin exam and they had to be in tip top shape if they wanted to all become Chunin together. “ Kaiori dashing to his closet to get out his pajamas and into his on duty gear sung to himself “ Oooooh, bouta be Chunin, Mizu and Kari bouta be Chunin, we’re the greatest of them all”. You could tell he was excited for the day ahead of the, that even a terrible song such as that could be bypassed by his mind. As soon as he entered his on duty gear he reached for his headband on the counter and set off outside in the warm overcast day in Kirigakure. As he jumped from building to building silent and quickly he thought about the daily training practices that would commence between the three over the next 2 month and today on this particular day it would be a two on one match between a random pick, and it just so happened today Kaiori was the one and he was facing Mizumi and Karihime today together. The whole point was to increase their senses and combat ability as you would need to be more aware when fighting 2 people than one therefore when you would be fighting one person you would be more in tune with your surroundings and therefore be more adept in battle. This was the perfect training for them as in the Chunin exams they would be alone and not in teams, that’s what made this time a necessity because due to their already natural comradery and teamwork combined with natural talent the trio would be unstoppable to other lowly Genin but then again without each other who were they as one person. Kaiori would find that out today as he neared the battlefield in which his teammates would fight on. As he dropped down from a building and zoomed into a forest he would begin to see their silhouettes as they stood in the more clear area in the opening of the forest. As he neared closer to them now running at jogging speeds he heard none other than Karihime’s loud eccentric voice saying “Hey Mizumi!”, Karihime said with a loud voice even though he was no more than 2 feet away from him. “I can’t hear. I put plugs in my ears, so now you can’t see and I can’t hear. Ooooo this is going to be fun.” Kaiori then came out of the woodworks surprising them from his entrance saying “Huh!?” as he then stared at Mizu and Kari and saw that Mizume had a blindfold and Karihime had put in earplugs so that they could impair themselves. “You guys are the worst you know that, but it seems like I have no other choice this would kinda make it even in a way.” Kaiori then yelled outloud knowing Mizu could hear him clearly but Kari would barely be able to and said while holding up his counting down “ Alright guys get ready we’re gonna start in 3, 2……” as soon as he hit 2 he began performing the signs Ox, Ram, Monkey, and Dragon “ 1…… Go!” As soon he said go he had initiated his technique Lightning Shift: Staff and as he charged towards Mizume first the lightning chakra pole would generate directly in his right hand as he was planning to initiate at the duo who were standing parallel horizontally next to each other. He would then put the staff in both hands holding it sideways and extend it fully spanning about 6 meters in total and dash towards the middle of the duo and push the staff through both of their stomachs at full force electrifying them slightly in the process and pushing them back with great force about 3 yards back on their backs.

Dageki:The training hadn't evens started yet and he was growing impatient. The sunlight seemed to be fading even though it was early morning and he was worried that they wouldn't get as much training is as he had expected to and wanted to. Despite his worries, he attempted to keep a positive mindset, even if his face didnt show. His expression was blank, and he was in deep thought. He was trying to think of anything he possibly could to get stronger, that's all her cared about: getting stronger. Strength was his way of life. The roof he lived under functioned under the laws of strength and supremacy. His father taught him very well, and had bred him into a war-monging child with a never quenched thirst for battle and combat. He had daydreams and visions, seeing himself in the future as one of the most powerful shinobi in the natural world, or so he had hoped. He didn't know what he planned to do to reach such levels of power but literally, whatever it took. For now, training with his life-long friends seemed to be the best option, and unlike most things it was pleasant to him. Getting a smile to grow on his face was near impossible unless he was alone, for he felt no weakness smiling to himself, only to others. His eyes closed slowly, before he drifted off into a stable rest, simply shutting his eyes and sitting still. He listened to the sounds of the environment, water trickling from the trees; sap oozing from their trunks as the birds' wings fluttered to hover above the bark to suck it for its juices. He heard it all. His hearing wasn't as acute as as his eyesight, but it was definitely up there. His eyes remained closed for the duration, even when he heard his name yelled out and echoing throughout the clearing, the sound waves bouncing off the surrounding trees. It was clearly Karihime crying out, and even though Mizumi was also excited for this training, he wasn't one for much enthusiasm. They always saw him as the serious one because he had genuine intentions to simply get down to business, but at least Karihime and Kaiori respected that. Proof that they respected this was shown at this very moment. Mizumi didn't open his eyes even after Karihime appeared, and karihime wasted no time wrapping something around Mizumi's head the moment he arrived. He wasn't quite sure what was going on at the moment, but he knew they were getting down to business regardless. He attempted to open his eyes and the sight was the exact same as if his eyes were closed. His vision was met with a dark, black, sightless obstruction, consuming the entirety of his eyesight completely. He somewhat worried, but he could still hear, and one of the things he could hear was Karihime exclaiming how he had earphones in his ear. Now, Mizumi didn't even bother to respond, knowing for a fact that he wouldn't even be able to be heard by his ally who had limited his hearing completely. This was going to be very interesting, but the real question was simply, where was Kaiori? He didnt quite understand how the session would function, but he had already concurred that it was Kaiori's duty to subdue the impaired Mizumi and Karihime. It would be up to Karihime and Mizumi to also utilize this as a teamwork technique, to give each other, the senses that they lacked, in order to function properly and take down the enemy. It was a very good exercise, and would prove great upon results. Before long, he began to stand, lifting himself from the large boulder in an attempt to catch his bearings, he stood straight, with his arms extended outward and his fan flat on his back. He tried to catch his balance and when he did, he wasn't sure that he would lose it again, so he felt confident. He was directly parallel to Kari, even if he couldn't see as such. He simply listened as close as he possibly could, hoping kari would guide him in whichever way he needed to go seeing as though that he couldn't see the slightest bit. Yes ninja in general have natural sensing capabilities but to what extent? How well could he use his ability of audio perception to outwit his opponent. Speaking of such, the woods began to rustle ominously, but at first Mizumi paid no attention to it. It was only when he heard the inital crackling of lightning, that he knew that he needed to get out of the area he was currently in, in fear that whatever was going on would prove bad for him. it was Kaiori no doubt, but Karihime had his back turned to the direction the sound was coming from before Mizumi had his blindfold on, and he'd be unable to hear what was coming towards them. Not entirely knowing the magnitude or what type of technique they had been facing, he simply jumped towards the direction he thought Kari was and attempted to tackle him down into the grass, before rolling off of him, and lunging backward to create distance from the previous location of the attack, hoping that Kari would use his vision to make sure that the two of them were headed away from the danger, not towards it, at least not yet.

Wakitoras: The training was soon to begin after Karihime placed the restrictions on both him and Mizumi. Mizumi didn’t resist from the childish games of Karihime as for he knew it ultimately had good intentions. The only thing that they needed to start their session for today was that of Kaiori. Tardiness was certainly on the resume of Kaiori; being that he was usually last on attendance. Karihime couldn’t hear anything but he noticed the body movement of Mizumi for a faint second as if something was going on. It ended in him relaxing and probably just adjusting to the sensation of being without vision. Everything was soundless to Karihime; it was quite a fun experience. Nothing but his own thoughts and the noises he gave to objects was audible. He brought his hands to his face and snapped his fingers; laughing at the fact that he couldn’t hear anything from the movement of his thumb and middle finger. “Mizu and can’t hear the snap of my fingers”, He said loudly and jokingly while giving off a childish chuckle. Mizumi then began to stiffen his body as if something startled him. “Mizu what’s going on”, Karihime asked in confusion to why Mizumi suddenly gained a focused look. As Karihime finished asking Mizumi what the deal was he was quickly brought to the ground by a tackle of Mizumi. It was a fast tackle, but there was no force into as if Mizumi was trying not to hurt Karihime. He was much confused on why his friend would suddenly tackle him with no motive. “hey what the heck”, Karihime spoke in a slightly angered tone, for that he was mad that he was brought to the floor. With a quick roll off of Karihime’s body, Mizumi stood back up in a quick matter. As Karihime brought his head up he noticed Kaiori in the previous location they were just in with his lightning technique full extended. Mizu its Kai- and he tried to sneak up on us did he.” Karihime then took both of his hands and placed them on the ground above his head. Bringing his legs above his abdomen he jerked his whole body up using the force of his hands to complete a hand spring. The hand spring brought Karihime to a complete stand-up position where he cracked his knuckles. “hey I couldn’t hear that”, He said while laughing. “Kai are you ready to lose? If we win, then you have to treat me and Mizu out to ramen later. Here are the rules. If we pin you down for three seconds, then you lose. Use anything you can to try to beat us!” Karihime didn’t wait for a response from Kaiori as for he wasn’t going to be able to hear it anyway. “Mizu- he is about ten yards out directly to the north of our position.” Bringing his hands together he forms the required hand seals to complete his water style: water bullet jutsu. Jumping into the air he brought his right hand to his mouth. Releasing the trapped water in his mouth- he exerts it out with full force towards the direction of Kaiori. His intentions were not to hit Kaiori but if he did- Kaiori would simply be blasted down with minor injuries. The intention of the jutsu was to attempt to connect it with the earth’s surface to conduct a field change. He attempted to cause shallow water to cover the area. The depth of the water would be no higher than one’s ankles, but enough to cause a splashing like sound. “ok Mizu its you time to go in.” Karihime obviously knew that it would be difficult for Mizumi to locate Kai’s position so he started to form the hand seals of Ram-Snake-Tiger in which would summon two shadow clones to the side of Karihime. Karihime was now about 5 yards to the right of Mizumi due to his jump in the air. HE commanded the shadow clones to target Kaiori and simply distract him and cause him to move from his location. One clone would approach from the left while the other would approach from the right. These were the most basic form that a shadow clone can reach and they come with some flaws. Shadow clones do not disrupt the living world around them, therefore their movement in the water would not cause in splashing from their footsteps. Karihime grabbed a shuriken from his tool bag and aimed for Kaiori. He didn’t want to harm him to much but he was a medical ninja so he knew he could patch up a small scar if Kaiori where to get hit. Throwing the kunai towards the center of kaiori location, which would cause him to shift his whole body to dodge, he tried to make every way possible to get kaiori to move. Karihime remained stationary and started to build up some chakra in his body. “Mizumi you’ll know what to do”, he said as he started to prepare his chakra for his next attack.

KaioriSama: As Kaiori went in for his attack with his lightning chakra staff he was surprised that as soon as he had approached his two friends Mizumi actually knew that his presence was there and tackled Mizumi to dodge his technique so they wouldn’t get hit. “Kaiori said as he was still in his lunged position “ MIzumi, what the??, you know what not even gonna ask.” He then saw Karihime turned around and look at him face to face while he was on the ground gaining a seemingly befuddled look and told Mizumi that he was now aware of his presence. “ Kaioir also responded to this with a slightly confused look saying “ I swore I yelled it loud enough to the point where you could hear me, unless you lodged those ear plugs directly in your eardrum or something.” Then Karihime began to get up slowly and while Kaiori knew he could take advantage of the fact that they were both on the ground he decided not to knowingly so he could try to give the two a breather. He then reverted the Lightning Shift staff back to its normal 2 meters size while standing back up from his previous lunged position and heard Karihime then begin to say in an excited tone “hey I couldn’t hear that! Kai are you ready to lose? If we win, then you have to treat me and Mizu out to ramen later. Here are the rules. If we pin you down for three seconds, then you lose. Use anything you can to try to beat us!” As soon as those words jumped off of his lips Karihime began to set himself and then immediately ran towards Kaiori in an aggressive manner. Kaiori then immediately spun the lightning chakra staff above his head and swung it back down with his right hand with a great amount of force signifying that he’s ready and in response to the conditions set by Karihime said while preparing himself “ HA, if anything you two will be serving me ramen!” As Karihime moved towards Kaiori he started forming hand signs and immediately after he was done he leaped into air towards Kaiori saying “Water Release: Water Bullet” and Kaiori knew this jutsu from Karihime already and immediately analyzed the situation and as he began to spew the water from his mouth Kaiori grabbed his staff with two hands and aimed toward Karihime in the air. As soon as the staff was pointed in his general area he would extend the staff another 2 meters to hit the stream of water while it was still forming from his mouth and as the staff would touch it the lightning chakra would interact with the water immediately wrapping around it with its electric current and the source of the water which would be Karihime. If Karihime were to be damaged by the electrical current he would be shocked in midair and bounced back about 4 feet.

Dagekiageki Dageki : Unaware of the majority of his surroundings, Mizumi just stayed quiet, and opened his ears more to gather the information that Kari had been feeding him, seeing as though his eyes were the only vision that Mizumi had. The exercise in general was pretty complicated, and it was hard to succesffully execute anything. But they had to try. Kaiori definetely had the upper hand, but after closely listening to Kari, according to him, Kaiori was just a few feet form their location, and they had to subdue him and pin him for just a few seconds. Though it sounded pretty simple, he knew it wasn't but he had to go off of the information that kari gave him because that was literally all he had to go off of. He focused and listened, Kari seemed to spring into action just after his announcement, the sound of water rushing from his mouth became apparent in just seconds, simultaneously, Mizumi began forming hand signs. | Tiger → Ox → Dog → Rabbit → Snake | Holding the snake seal especially long, he opened his mouth and took in a large amount of air, a massive amount of air even, seeming to expand his body like a ballon, before it was released in front of him in a massive wave towards the direction Kari said Kaiori was. What Mizumi didn't know was that Kari was still in that relative location also. before he could even realize this, or before Kari could appropriately communicate this to him, the gust was already being exuded from his mouth in a large and potent concentration. the blast was enough to send both of them flying upon contact, and insulate lightning in a focused or potent form as soon as the vacuum enveloped around the User. Mizumi genuinely thought he was doing what he was supposed to do, but had no insight on the outcome, seeing as though he had no sight at all. He simply waited, hoping to be informed of his attack's consequences by his ally or his enemy. Gasping slightly after using it, it had taken some of his own wind out of him as well, though he stood with his palms exuded in front of him in order to prepare for a close combat situation as well. The water that Kari released would also be stirred into the gust to create a rushing wave of water to surround them both, even if it was unintentional, he was purely going off of the sense he had, and noise wasn't the easiest thing to work with. Even a bird could throw off his focus, the sound of water crashing could be confused with a water technique and there were just too many factors. Kari seemed to have it easier with sight but regardless they were both impaired, he was simply interested to see the outcome, and how the training would benefit them both in a real, dangerous situation in which they have to improvise with nothing but their sense.

WakitorasWakitoras Whisper: Feeling as his actions were complete foolproof, his confidence was fairly high. Karihime had thought up a plan in his head, but it was cut short by the actions of Kaiori. Upon activating the required hand seals to form his Water Bullet Technique; Kaiori also fired a technique of his own. Kaiori countered the technique of Karihime with a lightning technique. This wouldn’t end to well on Karihime’s end for that his jutsu was a great insulator to lightning and Karihime would ultimately get shocked. Karihime was in a mental stall. He saw the event happening in slow motion and knew that there was no way out of his predicament. The lightning was almost in range to touch his water and a instant shock would take place one that happened. The fact that he had no sound of the current situation made everything more epic in his point of view. Closing his eyes and getting ready to accept the pain, he was surprised at the fact that nothing happened yet. Mizumi had a tactic of his own in reaching Kaiori. He prepared a wind jutsu in the mist of Karihime doing his jutsu and targeted the area that Karihime told him that Kaiori was. The jutsu came in quick and intervened with the clash of Karihime and Kaiori’s jutsus. The attack insulated the lightning that was on its way to shock Karihime. Karihime, unable to hear, was not aware of the oncoming jutsu. The blast was fast and the fact that the two were currently not paying attention towards it; they were most likely to get hit as well. Karihime was not aware of the attack and was pushed upwards in the air by the attack. His body rushed high into the sky for a short period of time and then came crashing down into a small depth of water. The attack also caused the ground to become slightly damp. His body made a splash in the water as he contacted the earth’s surface. “Mizumi! Can you at least say something before you- oh wait”, Karihime followed up with a chuckle as he realized what he just said.

KaioriSama: Kaiori as he went in to counter Karihime’s water technique by projecting his lightning staff into his water stream (no homo) he immediately felt a huge gust of wind pass by him and immediately burst through and blast him to the ground on his sides sliding along the way few feet. As he was blown back his lightning staff immediately dissipated but Karihime’s water attack was still in use just also blown away along with Karihime himself. As Kaiori then sat up he looked towards the direction the wind was set in and it was none other than Mizumi who apparently shot a huge wind ninjutsu at the two. As Kaiori began to really question if he could see or not he then quickly came to the resolution that if he could really see he wouldn’t have hit Karihime along with him therefore securing his ease. He then looked back at Karihime and then downwards on himself and he saw as the land was covered in slightly shallow waters with some of the dirt in the grass mixed into the water. Karihime’s jutsu was completed and this would slightly give him the advantage due to him being in his element but a spark arose in Kaiori’s head and he simply smirked as he stood up from the imitated swamp landscape. He then looked at Karihime who was still on the ground after landing from the Mizumi’s wind attack, “Heh, you had help last time but Mizu can’t help you from this.” He then immediately reached into his pocket in a quick fast motion and grabbed 2 shuriken from his pouch he threw them at Mizumi’s general direction at high speeds only after taking a quick glance at him. What he indeed did forget Mizumi was blind and possibly couldn’t see the shuriken come at him but for some reason a devilish attitude came before him and he wanted to push both of his friends to the limit even if it meants causing some minor injuries. He then quickly formed the Boar → Ram → Snake → Horse → Dragon// handseals in a fast motion and placed his palm in the damp water and yelled “ Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder” and instantly due them being in water lightning streams would surround the shallow water area and all that it reached out to in electricity, which it would include Karihime for he was in the water as well which would instantly shock him with a great amount of force due to it being amplified by the water and it would most likely incapacitate him.

Dageki: How interesting the day had become?- Oh, he didn't know. He couldn't really tell under the thick blindfold over his head. It connected over his sapphire strands of hair and the entirety of his headband that was wrapped around the other side of his cranium. The day was growing longer and longer and honestly, under his blindfold, he was dying of boredom. He felt useless on the fact that he couldn't see, and he had no idea how to counteract such boredom IF he couldn't see. Kari had given him initial instruction but It didn't really go further than that. Nothing else had transpired or at least he couldn't see as such. he could only hear. He had just recently released a wind ninjutsu from his palms creating a massive gust of wind that didn't carry the same cutting power as his usual wind techniques. He exuded such a gale to the point where it would blow people out of their momentum, and away from any type of approach they were plotting towards. He hadn't knowned how exactly it had turned out but he heard both his friends land with a splash; yes, a splash. Apparently Karihime's jutsu had mixed with his own and created a muddle or large puddle landscape, though from directly where he was standing, he felt the water also hit his toes. This was common sense, it didn't take a rocket scientist to know that Kaiori was profficient in Lightning ninjutsu and a water bound environement was idle in order for him to properly subdue his opponents. He also realized that with such a landscape, Karihime would flourish. Unknowingly, Mizumi was at the edge of the puddle-like area, so he quickly lunged backwards to get out of its original clutches, tripping over a stick just before he landed. He was given no direction from Karihime once again, so in order to protect himself from an attack he didn't even know of as of yet, he simply covered himself with his fan and crouched, not knowing the directional properties of whichever. He simply heard lightning crackling again, and braced for any impact that might take shape against his frail, young body.

Wakitoras: The battle that the three were fighting in was quickly coming to an end. They threw some jutsus here and there and the game needed to be wrapped up. Mizumi didn’t get to show his full ability in the spar for that Karihime was so busy fending off Kaiori; he couldn’t give his friend any effective instruction. Karihime and Kaiori were recently blown away by the actions of Mizumi. A blast of wind pushed Kaiori and Karihime from their original locations and both crash landing into the ground. Due to the fact that Karihime was currently airborne; he was pushed further than Kaiori who had some sort of footing. Karihime landed about 3 yards to the right from Kaiori’s position. The ground was currently a swamp like area and Karihime watched as Kaiori dug into his pocket to grab something. Karihime quickly getting up focused chakra into his feet so he wouldn’t sink into the water. Watching Kaiori revel to shuriken to throw at Mizumi he decided to use that time to take action. Karihime quickly rushed with speeds to the back of Kaiori who was currently glancing at Mizumi and in motion to throw a shuriken. Karihime noticed that Kaioir’s feet were currently submerged in the water due to the fact that he didn’t have any chakra focused in the area. Karihime didn’t stop or hesitate in his motions to Kaiori’s position. They were only about nine feet/3 yards away, so arrival was instantaneous. Karihime quickly preformed the hand seals of Snake, Ram, Horse, Hare, Ram, Horse, Hare to complete the water prison jutsu. The water around the first began to become extremely heavy and what put a greater toll on Kaiori due to the fact that his feet were submerged in the water. Due to the preexisting water, the jutsu was casted faster for the fact that Karihime didn’t have to form any water from his own chakra. The area around Kaiori would start to attempt to consume Kaiori’s entire body. Kaiori was fast and getting out of the jutsu under the circumstances that Karihime would have to form water from his chakra would probably be a better chance. The preexisting water makes the jutsu even more difficult to escape from. On top of the preexisting water, the heaviness of water created by the jutsu would also slow Kaiori’s movements as well, due to the fact he was already submerged in the water. Kaiori was also returning from the motion of him throwing his shuriken thus taking away attention from karihime. With these three factors in effect; escape from the jutsu would be rather difficult for Kaiori. Mizumi on the other hand quickly jumped back from his location once he felt the water touch his feet. He ended up in a crouch position with his fan out in front of him. The fan ultimately deflected the oncoming shrunken that were initially thrown at him.

KaioriSama: There it was a deadlock in the pool of water cast by Karihime which consisted of Kaiori and the jutsu caster himself on top. As Kaiori began to reach into his pocket he saw Karihime stand up on the shallow water and began to charge towards Kaiori after he had thrown his shurikens towards Mizumi. Still afterwards regardless Kaiori began to form hand signs but it was too late and as he was ready to fire his technique Karihime was behind him and formed a water bubble around Kaiori isolating him from the body of water and separating him into the bubble like prison crafted by Karihime. Still Kaiori not knowing until the end still casted his jutsu Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder onto the water which was currently forming around him and in and he was shocked by his own jutsu. He was screaming in excruciating pain as the lightning jolted around the bubble making multiple revolutions by the millisecond shocking Kaiori continuously until his jutsu ran and Kaiori was left on his knees still immobilized and drowning by the Water Prison Jutsu. AS Kaiori was still weak he raised his hand in the water signifying that he has been defeated. He would expect Karihime to lift the water technique so that he could breathe and be mobile once more and if he did he would lay in the still shallow water slightly mixed with grass and dirt gasping and breathing for air as he was completely exhausted. Then still gasping for air breathing hard would try to make out words in slight pauses saying “Ughh……. Kari…….. Mizu……. I……. owe……. You…….. Some ramen……….” As Kaiori’s breathing became better he then moved up into a sitting position and sat for a while and thought about the events of the battle and frankly he thought that he still had a long way to go. Kaiori then said to Mizumi an Karihime as he then started to stand up quite slowly in pain “ Man, that was a nice spar that was a nice move you did there Kari we should do this more often you know” he said in a melancholy tone as he was not only drained physically but mentally, though in the end this training session with all of them together in the long run could make the boys better if they learn from their mistakes and continue to capitalize for they could potentially all become ready for the Chunin Exams.

Dageki: He was hiding behind his fan and the only thing that he heard was the thudding of shuriken against its surface. Maybe he saved himself? He was quite confused, though he did hear the crackling of lightning, but no screams or words from Kari in response really. His pals were having a heated battle and he was over here hiding; maybe being blind and fighting isn't as easy as he thought, it was actually a pain. He was frustrated and all he really could hear now was the splashing of water. | "What exactly is going on?" | He wondered, with a pondering look on his face, but it wasn't until he heard Kaiori speakin in fragments that he knew what was going on. He said he had owed us some ramen, so maybe Karihime had won it for them both. He removed his blindfold, to reveal mint green pupils shining brightly through the day. His head was sweating from the warm cloth wrapping of the band, and he was completely focused on walking to his friends. Kari was laughing hysterically and Mizumi was simply glad that it was over. | "Well Kai, I want beef in mine!" | Mizumi said jokingly, or seriously?- regardless he was hungry, and was happy that the three of them could enjoy a training session together just before enjoying a meal.
