Both opponents had managed to avoid the rushing torrent of water skillfully, but for some reason Akira didn’t look annoyed or pissed off at his failed attempts. Something about him was just a little bit off. –Excellent. I had hoped this would draw them closer.- Akira bit back a smirk as he kept a serious facial composure while Ryouta sped towards him and Bijin threw a Kunai. What happened next was a quick chain of events that began by Akira raising his foot to the thrown kunai; catching it on the layer of chakra under his sole that had magnetic properties which allowed him to walk on water and trees. Next he back-flipped while Ryouta jumped over him, seeing the airborne paper-tag be sliced in half by Bijin’s shuriken, and waited till he was half-way through his rotation before kicking down his right leg to launch off the Kunai from his foot on a unexpected, and very quick path, that originally aimed to hit Ryouta in the arm but due to the difficulty in aiming a move like this Akira’s Kunai went on a different path towards Ryouta’s chest; tip-first. Then, both of Akira’s feet touched the surface of water again as he made his landing in a crouched position and ran towards Biijn. Somewhere halfway his previous backflip Akira had dropped the water from his cupped hands that he had planned on using then and instead made the tiger-handseal that sent a sharp pain through his left hand however the pain was quickly starting to numb as adrenaline kicked in. From behind Akira, two clones stood up from the water, identical to the white haired youth. If Ryouta had managed to keep fighting after the previous Kunai these clones would rush towards and assault him from both sides with a small barrage of simple punches and kicks, all meant to injure and distract while a third clone fell down from the air behind Ryouta and aimed to slam both fists down on the blonde boy’s head. This third clone had hidden behind the other two and jumped up when they engaged to try and stay out of sight before performing the finishing move that aimed to leave Ryouta knocked out for the day. By using natural water Akira had saved a good portion of chakra but it was still a taxing feat for the Genin who was seen sweating heavily as he had closed in on Bijin by the time the clones started their assault on the other side of the stream. Again he made the tiger hand-seal, but why? With the amount of chaka he had already expended it would be foolish to sacrifice 1/10th of his power for another clone and there wasn’t any water around, right? Wrong. His previous water bullet technique had left several large puddles of water on the training ground; one behind the side of Bijin, out of which arose another clone who performed quickly weaved through handseals to surround its left hand by an orb of blue water while the real Akira did the same. By now, Akira had realized that the girl’s senses were able to pick up on him without even seeing him which meant that she could most likely sense his presence. Using this to his advantage, Akira purposefully distracted her by having raised clone behind her, and then jumped up high with the sun behind his back. “Pulse!” Shouted he and the clone in unison as two football-sized thrusts of concussive water blasts shot towards Bijin; one launched diagonally down towards her chest, and one straight towards her back, both aiming to hit at the same time to ‘squash’ her between the opposing traumatizing forces that expanded over her body the moment they made contact. Visibly wore down, Akira would make his landing on one knee and punched his fist into the ground while his head hung over… white locks of hair falling down over his forehead. This was why he was the Suiton prodigy. Not because he had anything special. But because he made us of water in the most effective ways. He raised his visage so that his vibrant blue eyes were seen again just as a gust of wind blew a single leaf into his hand.
