Matsutsu vs. Kojima A fight amongst the Shunshin duo.

Matsutsu went the training are nearby the leaf gate to fight Kojima he felt this would be a great chance to fight someone he though stronger than himself. "You can make the first move" he says as he bows.

*Biting his lip, Kojima respectfully returns the bow. He hated making the first move. The first move never worked, it was nothing more than an opportunity to open yourself for a counter attack. He flipped open his kunai pouch and stuck his finger into one of the loops on the end, taking a few steady breaths he charged at Matsutsu, hurling the kunai at him once he was halfway there, reading himself for a swift jump kick*

"Nice move decides to try his new technique" "Shunshin" Matsu teleports behind but doesn't know how to stop while use it so he keeps going and falls on the ground "I don't know if I will use that again"

*Kojima spins, having a flashback of his fight with Washi-sensei, but finds that his spinning kick hits only air as Matsutsu is on the ground. Biting his lip and pulling the corner of his lip up into a smile, he jumps back to give Matsu room and time to give up. Making a note to himself not to try Shunshin just yet, Kojima readies himself*

"Ugh Alright now time to get serious" Matsutsu charges at Kojima and uses his Dance of the Camelia. Almost giggling how he fell before when he tried his Shunshin.

*Kojima arches a brow seeing the bones come forth, and begins to back step, blocking the first couple strikes, and dodging the next, but losing ground quickly*

He quickly gives him a quick kick trying to push him back to get some space. Says " I know you are better than this Kojima you are definetly superior to me in your skills"

*Kojima bites his lip a little, deflecting the kick with his hand and dodging a few more strikes, then blocking the next* You have a reach advantage..."

"I see you are even superior to me in intelligence" Matsu preforms the dance of the Larch and attempts a tackle at Kojima's legs.


Dance of the Larch
Name: Karamatsu no Mai, 唐松の舞, literally "Dance of the Larch"
Type: Taijutsu from Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Defensive, Short range (0-5m)
Users: Kaguya Kimimaro
When used, razor-sharp bones quickly grow out all over the user's body. Not only does this surprise opponents and make it difficult for them to fight in melee range, but the user's body becomes a deadly weapon.

*Taking the brief pause between techniques to gain his bearings, Kojima leaps up into the air to avoid the tackle and hurls the kunai he had been saving downward at Matsutsu as the tackle misses*

Luckily turning where Kojima was one of his bones moved into position to protect him from the kunai.
He then uses Finger Bullet Drill. "Kojima don't go easy on me" Then thinking *wait he must be trying to get me to use all my chakra so he could then finish me off easily. "It won't work" said Matsu as if knowing Kojima's plan.

Jutsus: Name: Teshi Sendan, 十指穿弾, literally "Finger Bullet Drill"
Type: Taijutsu from Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
Users: Kaguya Kimimaro
This is a bloodline limit technique that allows members of the Kaguya clan to shoot bullets made of bone out of the tips of their fingers at great speeds.

*Kojima frowned as the bullets came flying at him, unable to change his direction in midair. Throwing one of his kunai straight down, he then uses the replacement jutsu on it before it gets too far away, feeling the bullets of bone go straight over his head. Landing on the ground he pulls out a pair of his shuriken and throws them at Matsutsu, charging again*

Matsu decides to spin and have his bones knock it away. He then waits for another move by Kojima beckoning to him to attack. "How come you won't try to hold your breath when you want to use a large amount of chakra.

*throwing another kunai and pulling out his last one for combat, striking overhead, kojima chews his lip* It doesnt work like that. Just as my lungs can only hold so much air before they burst, so too can my body only contain so much chakra.."

"I understand" says Matsu as he dodges the kunai and Kojima's strike He then uses his Dance of the Camelia. He ponders about how Kojima's feels when Matsu teases wonder if he should keep it to a minimum feeling sort of bad from before.

*kojima chews his lip some dodging some more of the blows, stepping back, then takes a sharp breath and uses the Replacement jutsu again with the kunai he had thrown, now behind Matsutsu, and reappears already spinning his kunai in a backhand slash*

Matsu gets cut by Kojima's kunai and lets out a yelp. Matsu turns around quickly and goes for another tackle this time just at his waist. As he is diving forward noticing he is getting a bit fatigued now thinking he might go all out in the next few minutes.

*kojima licks his lips as he feels his kunai hit, hoping he didnt do too much damage. Making sure his breathing is continuous and steady, Kojima feels next to no exhaustion at all. He jumped backwards as Matsutsu tackled again, but as the attack was higher this time, the dodge didnt cover enough ground, and he felt a bit of bone cut along his shin, straight down his leg. Grimacing as he landed on the leg, stinging a bit, he bites his lip and waits for Matsu to make the next move*

As he sees him lying on the ground Matsu thought this time would give him a chance to get in a quick jutsu Earth Flow River jutsu. Matsu then says with a smirk "good luck dodging this"


Name: Doton Doryu Taiga (Earth Release: Earth Flow River)
Type: Supplementary and Offensive
Range: Short 0-5m
Rank: C
Description:
This jutsu forms a rapid river of mud on the ground beneath an opponent.

*Kojima bites his lip harder wondering how Matsu was able to use that technique, feeling his footing slip out from under him he throws his last kunai up into the air and uses the replacement jutsu on it, taking steady breaths to replenish his chakra, throwing his two remaining shuriken at Matsu from mid air, then using the replacement jutsu on one of them as it gets closer, aiming a straight punch at Matsu's face while the Shuriken flew towards his leg a few feet a head of Kojima*

Matsu panicing now had no choice "Shushin" Matsu wound up behind him. He still can't stop and went flying leaving a few scratches but the jutsu did its job. He started feeling even more fatigued with little chakra not even enough to use any of his jutsu he was down to strict tajutsu now but he knew he couldn't hold out much longer.

*spinning now, Kojima ran at Matsutsu again, hoping to gain an advantage if he pressed the attack, feeling exilerated never having been able to be aggresive before. he must be improving. Jumping into the air he aimed a kick at Matsu's head, his second leg following close behind it*

Matsu decided to jump up so Kojima would be kicking his chest where his bones are. Feeling a second wind come over him thinking he can not lose so easily. He started thinking about Fang Lee again *BELIEVE TO ACHIEVE*.

*Kojima gasps and throws his hands down onto the ground, throwing off his moment and pushing up hard so he rises a bit above Matsutsu's bones, barely avoiding them.. Because of this however his kick misses and he flies to teh side of Matsu, throwing a hasty punch at his head, though he do ubted it would hit*

Matsu quickly grabbed Kojima's hand (can't use replacement technique be creative) and uses his Finger Bullet Drill close range at his leg so he could slow his movement down. Matsu made sure he would hit Kojima in any vital areas so he won't permantly injure Kojima if it hits.
