Konoha's New Yellow Flash

Miyu vs. Haruto: Access the Jutsu!

Keeping my grip on the kunai in hand, I clashed with Haruto. His blade glinted annoyingly, as I struggled to overpower him. "You're starting to get on my nerves." I growled out, kicking my leg up to connect with him. However he saw it coming and jumped backwards and out of reach before lunging back at me. Clicking my tongue, I blocked his short sword with my kunai.

After our encounter, Haru and I have been locked in combat and managed to stray away from Shikamaru and the girl. The two of us never stopped moving as we clashed blades with each other. I've only fought him two other times, but he's definitely improved since both of them. He's a strong opponent. So why am I the one who always ends up fighting him?

He brought his blade back and struck his fist, connecting with my nose. "Ah! Son of a-" Anger coursing through me I dropped the kunai and lunged, tackling him down and striking down on him. He moved his head to the side, making me miss his face and hit the earth roughly. Then he used his legs to push me off.

I flipped onto my feet and threw some kunai, to which he deflected them. I jumped up high into the air, shuriken in hand. Doing the appropriate hand sign, I threw it down. "Shadow Shuriken!" I called. Green chakra swirled the shuriken before creating more of them, descending down on him in a hail storm. He pulled out a scroll and bit his thumb quickly before sliding it across. A spear came out of it and he grabbed it, twirling it above him, deflecting my attack.

"I'm not going to fall for that attack again!" He shouted at me. Tch. How annoying. I don't have time to deal with this moron. Okay, how about this. Putting my hands together, I created a special clone, and the two of us lunged at him. The clone was in front of me, about to attack. He swung his spear, striking her chest.

This clone is special. She's composed of lightning. Haruto let out a shout of pain as the clone electrocuted him. Swiveling around her, I punched the solar plexus. The weakest point in the center of the body. Haruto's eyes widened slightly as he coughs up in pain before flying back.

I lunged after, to strike him again, when he put his hands together. "Ninja Art: Black Samurai!" He roared. His chakra manifested around him. I stopped myself, jumping back away from him as it surrounded him. I watched closely as the chakra took shape into actual armor around him. Black armor with a gold emblem on his headgear. What in the world?

Now that I think about it, I remember reading about samurai's somewhere. Yes, in a book I read from gramps office. They are similar to shinobi but of course with differences. The only place with them is in the Land of Iron though. And Haruto is clearly a ninja.

Haruto grabbed another scroll and rolled it out. Reaching into it, he began saying an incantation. Slowly, he withdrew a strange sword. I narrowed my eyes, trying to recall the name of the blade. Ever since my second battle with Haruto, I met with Ten-Ten to teach me more about weaponry considering is style is closest to hers. That sword is wakizashi.

Haruto's war cry brought me out of my train of thoughts as he swung at me. I ducked under before jumping away from him. He kept on attacking and I avoided his strikes to the best of my ability whilst carefully observing him.

In his armor, he changed his fighting style completely. It's more organized and more confident then before. He moves similar to how he was before, like me, but now it's a bit different then before. He is clearly ninja. But his movements now are different. How annoying. I clashed blades with him, analyzing his movements. His moves are of a certain rhythm. And there's a pattern.

I dodged the blade and moved my leg behind his and jerked, making him trip a bit. While he was moved, I channeled chakra into my finger tips and jabbed, hitting the top of his collar bone that the armor exposed. He let out a grunt of pain, some blood seeping from his mouth before he tightened his grip on the blade. He moved it with so little effort and it gracefully cut through the air.

I started to dodge, but the blade cut across the back of my shoulder blade. The steel tearing my flesh burned intensely. The two of us quickly jumped away from each other, panting slightly. He lunged again as I blinked and swiped. I bent backwards and back flipped away, kicking him underneath his chin.

As soon as I landed on my feet I made a dash, bringing up my kunai. He quickly blocked my attack efficiently. He overpowered me and pushed. My kunai went flying and I stumbled back a bit before jumping up, off the ground and into the trees. I see.

Usually he is on par with me in most aspects, even better then me in some areas. But now he's stronger on defense then before. And he even has a better offense when I charge at him. As soon as he donned that armor, his statistics changed drastically. All the data I've gathered on him so far won't apply so long as he wears that. So I either have to rethink a strategy capable of defeating him in that, or tear off his armor myself and bring him back to my level.

The reason I'm leaning to the last one is because my fighting style is better when I'm on the offense. However that won't work with him. I'll have to change it up if I'm going to beat him like this. Ah!

I jumped up, avoiding his blade as he jumped after me. If in Taijutsu, I'm going to be having difficulty, I'll need to switch it up a bit. Weaving my hands quickly, the wind picked up around me. "Wind Style: Twin Dragon Jutsu!" I shouted. The two dragons emerged and chase each other around, forming a twister.

I threw my hands down, leading it to strike Haru. He brought up his arms, blocking it as best he could, but the incredible wind, knocked him back down to the forest floor. As soon as the twister died down, I was descending down, fist pulled back. "HA!" I thrust my fist, hitting his armor. The armor cracked slightly. Moving quickly I moved back and struck my leg out, hitting the side of his helmet.

He flung off to the side. "That's it! Lightning Style: Thor's Hammer!" Lightning formed in his hands, morphing into a shape before dispersing, revealing a very large battle hammer. His black armor then cracked and broke off, turning into dust and he lunged back at me, faster then before. I grit my teeth. He's in front of me already. I didn't have a time to retaliate.

He swung. The hammer struck my stomach and I gasped. It felt as if my ribs were shattered instantaneously. "HA!" He swung the hammer, sending me crashing through the trees. On the last, my back hit it roughly and I slid down.

Son of a bitch. Since when was Haru this strong? Or am I weaker? Gritting my teeth I took a deep breath, standing. No. I am not going to lose. This needs to be settled as soon as possible. Sasuke, Naruto, Choji, Neji, Kiba, Shikamaru. They need help. I have no doubt that those fools are too stubborn to lose. But I'm worried about their condition. I said that I'd make sure they make it out of this. I don't want it to be a lie. I focused.

If I'm going to beat Haruto, I'm going to need to do it calm and collective. He's oddly well prepared for an anger rampage. He's very evenly matched with me. The score stands at one victory each. He's able to calculate me as much as I can to him. Regardless of the situation, I can't simply let this battle prolong because he'll be able to find a way through my defense. The key to this battle is quickness. Because if we don't end it soon, this battle can drag out for hours.

I took another deep breath, closing my eyes. Calming my mind, I held out my hand and focused my chakra into my palm. I imagined it, I felt it, I morphed it. The wind whipped my hair wildly, cooling me slightly. Opening my eyes, I smiled lightly, seeing something I had been working so long on.

Alright. Let's do this! I Flash Stepped to Haru, making his eyes widen slightly. I appeared too quickly for him to dodge my attack. With determination in my heart, I swung. "Rasengan!"
