Alternate Dimension! Valley of the end Sticks and Stones battle between Kazuki Shikimori and Reikon

Kazuki had arrived at the valley of end as the letter of challenge had entitled for him to do so. He had been somewhat nervous of what was to happen only picking up the rank jounin recently. The young Kazuki was very determined to prove himself but that did not mean he wasn't nervous. So there he sat atop the fingers of Hirashima Senju starring off at the statue of Madara Uchiha waiting for this mysterious opponent.

He sat waiting for the opponent when he looked to his right, and down alittle and noticed there sat his opponent. He was so caught up in the battle to come, and the recent promotion to Jounin, he hadn't really noticed his opponent had already arrived. He sat for a few more seconds, on his naturally made rock ledge a few feet up and to the right from the giant statue. He pondered for a few seconds then hopped up and shouted with a light, non serious tone in his voice.

Hey you made it! Alright awesome!

"Oh hello there your my opponent? Well I will try my hardest to be a good one!" Kazuki stated trying to maintain a sense of confidence that would hide his own nervousness. Jumping back he entered into his casual taijutsu stance hoping that all the training he had done in the past would prepare him for actual combat with a jounin not just a watered down spar like the ones he would have with his sensei. With that Kazuki dashed towards his opponent drawing a kunai out of his pouch attempting to stab his opponent. Though drawing upon his most famous strategy unbeknown st to his enemy the Kazuki charging at him was an afterimage left behind by the speed in which he was traveling at while the real one was coming from behind for a counter attack.

He raised an eyebrow, his slight but not totally unexpected surprise when his opponent dashed forward, pulling out a kunai. It was a rather blatant attack. Too forward, too plain. Which raised his suspicions about the attack to begin with. Without moving he looked around alittle, thinking to himself.

Nope, nothing to the left. Not to the right. Nothing up above seems wrong. That leaves one spot left, my backside.

He quickly turned around, ignoring what was in front of him. As he spun he pulled out a kunai and had hardly any time to block the incoming attack. Steel clashed against steel and sparks flew as he blocked the kunai attack aimed at his back. A slim dagger crawled out of his sleeve, gleaming with toxins. His hand wrapped around its hilt and with lightning speed and deadly accuracy he aimed for the jugular of his opponent. Only skill would stop this attack, skill his opponent no doubt had.

The real Kazuki who was attacking Kurieta from the rear had smirked to himself as his hand immediately shot up grabbing his opponent's wrist as they were now in a stale mate. Both Shinobi were standing there arms locked unable to move because of the strain from refusing the other muscle their way out of this. After a split second of this kazuki loosened his pushing being pushed back by his opponent who would be adjusting to the lack of force. Using this to his advantage Kazuki had made just enough space between the two to do a back flip while holding his opponent's arms making him unable to escape and to execute handsigns for jutsu. Hopefully his backflip would land a descent kick to the opponent's jaw.

Reikon staggered forward ever so slightly, being off balance by the sudden relaxing. He felt a small tug and watched as feet came flying at his face. It would appear that he was being held in place for a kick to the face. A clever move. Not being able to move his arms, but still being able to swivel his wrists he tossed the dagger. With such limited motion of the hands the force was nowhere near enough to penetrate even his opponents clothing.

No instead Reikon tossed the dagger and with precise reflexes caught the handle in his mouth. If his opponent wanted to stop this he'd have to let go, or otherwise stop the attack. No the dagger flew right to his mouth and there it was held. Reikon turned his head sideways then, knowing he'd take a direct hit to the side of his face, but also hoping the force of the kick would impale his foot onto the dagger, or at the very least scratch up his legs. If so the toxins on the blade would do the rest.

Kazuki seeing the knife fly up kinda got jittery and because of his nervousness caused him to let go of his opponent in fear of what was to happen. Though he fought through this feeling as he shot his legs out prematurely smashing his feet into his opponent's chest putting some distance between the two. Kazuki who had just dodged this bullet looked at his opponent wide eyed thinking to himself.


"If I am not careful... I could die"

The feet slammed into his chest, being let go the kick pushed him a few feet away, putting space between the two again. Not liking the idea of having a toxin coated blade near his mouth anymore he let the blade fall and swiftly caught it in his hand. Looking at his opponent he switched stances, appearing as if he was just simply standing up in a relaxed manner.

His eyes focused and he smirked alittle, but other than that he didn't move. He simply observed and waited.

"Alright then time for plan B" Kazuki shouted as he quickly threw his training weights into the air. Suddenly like a flash he dissipeared using each weight as a stepping stone as he moved through the air faster then the eye could see. Once he arrived directly in front of his opponent he flipped over smashing his heel into the ground as the ground below them exploded. Giant boulders and rocks flew in all directions as kazuki hid from his opponents sight using the now infinite number of ways he could dodge or attack Kazuki jumped from boulder to boulder at incredibly fast paces leaving behind several afterimages in order to confuse his opponent. Then the real one would throw a large spray of kunai laced with bomb tags in the general direction of his opponent. With all the rocks still in the air all that had to happen was for a kunai to hit a nearby boulder in order for an explosion to ensue.

Specialty switch:Ninjutsu: On Taijutsu: Off

Reikon watched as all the earth was flung into the air and smirked. Oh what fun. Looking for the biggest bolder closest to him he let off a string of complex hand seals. Utilizing a jutsu he opened his mouth and blew the chakra out. His earth chakra covered each boulder and then dissipated, seeming to have no effect once so ever.

Without pause he did one more string of hand seals and augmenting his body with earth chakra slid into the nearest boulder in the air. These two jutsu would allow him to use a third jutsu, a technique he developed. He stayed in this boulder, sticking his head out for his opponent to clearly see.

Name:Earthen Web
Rank:C
Element:Earth
Description:The user gathers earth chakra in his mouth and sprays it over an area with his mouth. The earth chakra will lace the area in a chakra web. This chakra web links other pieces of earth together and is invisible to an opponent (unless they happen to be a specialist in chakra sensory and can sense the chakra). Much the same way putting a door into a wall will allow someone to enter another room. This jutsu is more effective in an area with jutting earth formations, or where boulders or rocks can be found in several different locations.

Name:Earth Melding
Rank:B
Element:Earth
Description:Augmenting the body, particularly the skin and outline of the body, the user of this jutsu is able to allow himself to pass through earth, much like a worm or any underground creature can claw and dig its way through dirt.

"Damn he is an earth style user and I just gave him the biggest damn advantage in the book. Oh well time to fight fire with fire! Katon: Sūpānovu~a" Kazuki shouted bringing his knees into his chest wrapping his arms around himself as his body temperature went through the roof. Suddenly he screamed as his limbs shot outward causing a huge explosion of flames to engulf the surrounding area either pushing back boulders or incinerating them. Allowing Kazuki the opportunity to find some way to fight against this opponent.

Name: Katon: Supanovu~a
Range: 0-20 meters
Type: Defensive
Element: Fire
Rank: A
Description: This is a jutsu utilizing the fire element in which the user would wrap themselves into a ball as they try to conceal their body temperature that is drastically rising with the use of their fire element. The user will then stand normally again releasing the pent up fire chakra in an outward explosion that causes a large variety of damage to the nearby scenary as well as opponents depending on distance and skill at countering attacks.
