Meeting with Raimaru (Enja Training Group with Rai-- Chakra Control X1, 4 Nexus Stats X1)

Raijin remained where he was sitting watching the fight, or more like a spar between children it seemed, it worried him, “I must break him of this habbit…” he thought to himself as he sat and watched the fight reign on longer.

Looking at his opponent it tried to form seals within the time it had left to create a jutsu, the replacement jutsu to be exact. After it poofed into a cloud of smoke it came charging back in from the same direction but this time sliding down under the blades reach angle so far, but it stuck it’s blade towards the legs to trip up Enja before the clone slid out of the whirling blades to charge back in but with a lunge like attack to temp a block or dodge for a quick last second attack.

The smoke in his eyes in fact surprised Enja as he tried to get back and the strike from the cline forced Enja on the defensive. He now backed up, keeping his blade guarded in a position to defend via the length of his arm. From there, he could block from what was most easier of a postion, but the clone had now gone super aggressive in his attacks.

Figures for a clone of a swordsman.

He tried to wait for an opening, seeing some sort of area he could dodge and then sweep in for an attack but no such opening occurred. For now he was dodiging backwards and moving to try and see one.

(In the event one presented itself)--

At the moment after one of the clone’s sword swipes, Enja rushed in, this time with the end of his sword poised to strike in the chest. A look of a fire burned in his eyes as he now drove himself to deal a blow against the double of his opponent!

Raijin sitting, waiting, watching as a hawk would it’s prey in a manner of speaking. The clone how ever was now being attacked upon again, a good defense was sometimes a strong offense, and it was somewhat working in this fight, but that was only because they were semi matched at the current standings.

The clone noticed some of his attack worked and the rest didn’t making him a little frustrated, it looked at the man before it noticed the attack to catch the handle but not in time and in a bad position to try, the handle ended up hitting the clone in the chest and it let out a cough of discomfort, it looked at Enja now before it would attempt to grab Enja’s hair pulling it towards the clones in a headbutting attempt. In the event that the headbutt were to fail it would quickly follow up with a quick non-lethal sword slash across the chest to maybe get some room between them now, or to see where it left the clone with options for attack.

The attack was sudden and the clone soon tried something rather dirty in terms of Enja’s terms of fighting. He grabbed a hold of Enja’s own hair and tried to grab and pull him in for a headbutt. That was a rather dirty trick to pull to grab at one’s hair. He was trying to force them to knock together.

But Enja was more cunning than he could think. Instead right before they would of butted heads, Enja used his free hand and wrapped it around his grabbed arm-- locking it up from being used! At this position, Enja was too close for Raijin’s clone to but heads, unable to throw himself further. However, the incoming sword strike was still a problem, but the position was too close for sword fighting.

So one move was left-- straight up hand to hand.

“Got you, bastard!” Enja said and grabbing hold of Raijin, he forced his weight back and pulled him down with him!

Proping a leg up between them as he rolled back to the ground, he kicked Raijin off and forcing him off him. As the kick would likely force Raijin to recover, Enja quickly hopped back up to his feet and renewing his grip on his sword. He charged once more for a dashing slash, aimed to attack from the side of him that was facing away. If Raijin was on the ground, a non-lethal slash against him was completely possible as he rushed to slash at him.

For Enja, he blended his attacks and counters with proper use of both hand to hand and the sword. He never depended on one over the other.

Raijin was interested at how well Enja countered attacks, but this was a spar between a clone and a determined student. But he feared for the worse when Enja had to face a real opponent with actual ninjutsu and battle experience, he sighed and shrugged his shoulders muttering to himself, “I’ll deal with it when we get to that point.”

The clone was almost there for an attack to land, looking as it was about to happen his head stopped and it confused him for a moment before he noticed that he closed the distance and stopped the headbutt, but the sword attack was still incoming to have him thrown off of his opponent it frowned as it twisted its body in the air to catch itself to land on its feet before it sighed.

It looked at Enja now before it saw him rush back in at him, he took a ready stance awaiting the attack from Enja before he would near the clone would poof into a blur of leaves, using body flicker, to appear behind Enjin sword stuck into the ground reaching for Enja’s waist to pick him up and smash his head into the ground as its first attack, it retook its stanced after if the attack worked by grabbing the sword to bring the blunt side of the blade down upon Enja’s chest in a quick like slash.

Enja’s little flip had threw Rai’s clone off lightly but not enough as it landed well to his feet after a flip. As Enja was about to try and attack again-- the person vanished in a flurry of wind and leaves! Enja felt dumbfounded as his blade struck nothing but air. “WHere did he--?!” he exclaimed before he saw movement out of the corner of his eye.

But it was far too late as the clone got right behind him and threw him painfully to the ground. Enja had been so focused on melee fighting he was not quick enough to realize the clone used ninjutsu to teleport away. He was now strictly to the defense as he realized the clone was using his own sword! (which btw i dont recall dropping)

He was thrown to the ground and saw the incoming slash at him. Enja would of been as good as dead-- but he reacted now on pure instinct! WIth both hands he reached up and with careful precision--- CAUGHT THE BLADE! He clapped his hands right between it, preventing it from going further! A trickle of blood dripped down from his hands at the sudden grab, clearly cutting through Enja’s gloves and it hurt. Still, with a firm grip on the blade he twisted the grap and tried to pry it out of the clone’s hands,

Either way, the fight was going downhill for him. “How the hell-- did you do that?” He grumbled.

Raijin watched as his clone soon took the advantage of the battle using what little ninjutsu and attacks it had to use, but what caught Raijin’s notice was  that Enja risked his hands to stop the blade by clapping his hands on the blade probably by dumb luck really, it’s a .01% chance to stop a blade like that, but he kinda buggered it up by grabbing the blade. Sighing heavily he now knew the direction of the battle for Enja’s sake now.

The clone watched as its first attack went through fully before it watched Enja catch the blade in a manner of speaking before it tilted its head to the side and smirked a dark grin, it gripped its swords handle and pulled it so that it would damage it’s sparring partners hand, or hands, from being used fully from the blades edge cutting the flesh like a heated knife through butter in a manner of speaking.

After it took a few steps back before it changed its stance placing the sword within it’s scabbard, the fight was evenly matched but something now changed within the clone as it would be noticed that it opened up the first two gates of the hachimon raising its power to a new level before Raijin appeared behind a cloud of smoke from the clone.

Standing there he sighed and looked towards Enja “that was close…” he said softly as he grabbed a water bottle from his pouch and some bandages while he walked towards Enja, “I got some clean water and some bandages for your hands.” he said as he knelt down before Enja, “I stopped the fight because I forget about the vast knowledge of everything that I know at my disposal, my clone would have ended up using you as a training dummy instead of it being a fair fight.” he said as he sighed.

It probably went into war mode somehow and just suddenly stopped listening to his commands, which was weird, but then again he had something inside him that was a demon. Suddenly he heard the voice of that damned eight tailed beast in his head “That was a good show, but why did you stop it? you are weak and pathetic! I can’t believe I lost to you!” the beast said, Raijin sighed and shook his head, “There are reasons behind me stopping that fight, mainly because you were blocking out my method to control the clone to a degree to avoid it from trying to kill him, besides, you should still be asleep.” Raijin said to the hachibi before he returned to his normal self and looked Enja with his snake like eyes.

Was this psycho trying to kill me?! Enja thought as he held the blade, but suddenly felt a far more intense sharpness and burn to the blade! He let out a shout of pain as he tried to push it away, but it was not going well. He had thought the clone was controlled for a minimal fight, and just a sparring, but over time it grew to a more intense and determined fight.

Had Enja not been sharp, he would of died a lot sooner than now!

Finally though, the fight end with Raijin appearing behind the clone in the flick of an eye-- and it had stopped the clone, who had a strange maddening look in his eye. but it vanished after the original interveined

“YA THINK?!” ENja shouted after the ‘that was close’. “Was this a sparring or were you trying to slice my head off?!”

Perhaps it was more a stressful vent or comic relief, but Enja was relieved the fight was over. He had barely done any real ninja lessons at the academy due to his bad fortune. Then again, Enja knew that training meant nothing without some trail by fire as they called it.

Rai leaned down and helped treat his hands, which had now a serious cut on both of them. He explained how he failed to account his clone’s knowlege and skill next to Enja and how he more or less wound up having Enja being a training dummy because he didn’t control his clone accordingly. “

“GEE, YA THINK?!” he shout back at him, clearly bitter at how the clone nearly took his head off.

Enja didn’t notice the eyes or the fact he was in fact a Jinchuriki, FOr now, Enja got the bandages on his hands and he felt a bit better. For now he rested, and soon found his new katana. With proper training, he hoped to learn the skill to wield it better compared to this guy. Still, he realized it was an ant fighting a dog-- he simply was out classed by this guy. Lucky he was an ally rather than a true enemy, despite the outcome of the fight.

For the moment, ENja looked to Rai with an amused look. “Hey, that technique you did-- the teleportation? THink you can teach me to do that?” he asked.

Raijin sighed heavily, he cursed the damned bijuu inside of him for dragging this out to be some crazy ass crap that fell upon him to deal with now due to him. “It was supposed to be a straightforward match but I forgot about my agro mode I get into…” he said scratching the back of his head, “when I fight or get into fights, I cut my opponents down one at a time or even twice if I’m lucky.” he said before he shrugged, “mistake made, lesson learned.” he quickly finished with.

He sighed at the fact that Enja loved to yell it seemed, “if you like to yell, I’ll give you a reason to yell.” he quickly warned, he hated headaches and migraines, so he had hoped this wouldn’t be one of those situations before he heard a question about a how he transported them from one location to another, “it’s nothing special, I just used what my clone did to get behind you, known as Shunshin or body flicker.” Raijin added as he finished tending to Enja’s wounds before he flickered over to the lake suddenly in a gust of leaves and wind left where he was washing his hands in the lake water.

Standing up after he was finished he looked into the sky and took a deep breath and sighed a good sigh, kind of a way of just letting it go in a manner of speaking. Turning around Raijin shook his head, “not quite yet, but when I think your ready I’ll teach you all I know if I deem it.” he said as he looked up into the clear blue skies.

Enja gave him a grumpy look. He was not trying to be a pain but since he did cut his hands, he got a headache. It sounded like a fair exchange of karma to him. “Tell you what, you don’t try to kill me, and I will TRY to not bug the hell out of you. YOu are talking to the hothead of the Asakura,” he said with a mischievous wolfish smirk.

All jokes aside, Enja was relieved he had gotten his hands bandaged. It hurt alot less now that he got medicine on it. However, he knew full well he was growing more and more worn. He would have to go to a hospital at some point for a check up and a full restoration. Resting only did so much .

“Look, besides all the jokes and jabs at ya, Thanks… I really appreciate your help,” Enja said. Standing up, he held the katana he was given for as a gift. “If you are willing, I would love to learn alot more from you. “

At that time, Enja was willing to believe more this man had to share. “So… you really are a Shogun?” he asked, once again sounding a bit doubtful but in a playful sense. “How you pull that one off?”

For the moment, he was just resting and allowing his senses and energy to readjust. Either way, he now saw the man named Raijin in a new light. As a capable shinobi and a mentor for him to learn his way as a ninja.

Raijin just remained still until he heard what Enja had said and it made him laugh hard, “please, how do you think I obtained the Shogun title so quickly? you’re like a wolf pup compared to me.” he said simply before he shrugged, “but one day you might become a formidable opponent or rival if you grow strong and quickly like I have.” he added as he was now facing Enja full on.

He smirked at Enja’s appreciation for the help of training him in a sense from what he picked up from his words and tone of voice, before he looked down at the ground before he sighed, “yeah I’m a shogun… but how I obtained it is a pity… I stopped a war all by myself in a sense…” he said thinking about the first war he and Grave had fought together. He sighed again before he looked back at Enja, “one of these days I’ll tell you the full story behind it.” he added before he reached into his pouch pulling out a wallet before he pulled out a wad of cash from it, “here’s some cash for some gear, and some hospital fees if you need it.” Raijin said tossing 10,000 ryo as if it was pocket change, “I can’t have you falling apart too easily.” he finished.

Raijin sighed as he looked forward before he closed his eyes and shook his head, “if you stick with me for a while, by the time your my rank and skill, you might actually be tougher than me.” Raijin admitted thinking about it a bit with a smirk on his face, “If I don’t die before that time.” he added with a grin growing on his face that looked demonish but yet wolfish as well at the same time.

Walking over to Enja Raijin placed the money in his hand before he used the same hand on his shoulder to have them appear in front of a hospital before Raijin handed him a kunai with a tag wrapped around the handle and nodded, “anytime you need me, or want more training, or if you just want to talk or what ever, throw this with your chakra imbeded and I’ll be there in a flash.” Raijin said as he vanished from sight to appear on top of Mount. Raijin looking up into the sky with a huge grin on his face, “I feel… like I’m being taken over…” he said to himself as he unleashed some shots of lightning unleashing his pent up rage from what happened recently, he felt weak when he couldn’t save his brother and it burdened him deeply.
