Training Field # 3

[Naruto Uzumaki]

[Xander Umahaga]

After returning from his month long mission, Xander could not sit still. Issuing a challenge to any shinobi to face him in a sparring match. Thinking no one would show up, he still had hopes and asked Ino to be the referee of the match. Giving the place and time, Xander headed out. As he walked, he checked over all his ninja tools in his arm and, thinking ahead, decided to activate his Kekkai Genkai before getting there. "Meragan!" Letting the sensation of the familiar orange, red, yellow, blue and green of his vision take over, Xander picked up his speed. After that mission, I dont know if I'm going to be able to hold back against whoever shows up. But if they show up, they should be prepared for me not to. I'm ready. Xander thought to himself as the building flew by.

Finally arriving to the field, Xander stood in the middle of the field, allowing his complete 360 degrees of vision surround him and the field. Relaxing the muscles in his right arm, but repositioning the joints of his metal arm, Xander surveyed the area. This should be good. Far enough away from anyone or anything so my lava wont hurt bystanders. This is a good place for battle. he thought. After finally making sure his arm was ready, Xander let his arms hang to his sides, waiting for an opponent or Ino to show up.

[Kage Takeshi]

"Alright~ This is going to be GREAT! I am so excited!" Yelled Takeshi as he approached the Training Field #3. Just a little while ago he had overheard his best friend Xander Umahaga declaring a challenge to some unknown ninja inside the walls of Konohagakure. The challenge was a small sparring much, though knowing Xander it might become even more than that, so Takeshi and his 'date' might have to be a little careful.

It wasn't a date in the sense of two people trying to get 'close' but two friends sitting down to enjoy a nice drink of Sake and some Banana Tempura. Ino had, thankfully, accepted Takeshi request to meet him in the Training Fields to watch the Chunin and this unknown ninja fight.

Standing, alone, Takeshi waited for Ino to appear as he looked off to the field and saw Xander standing there, preparing himself for the fight. "I wonder how serious Xander might get..."

[Karaot Muzaki]

In the other part of the Training Field Karaot Muzaki was praticing his Jutsu;s Summoning Jutsu's and his throwing abilities where he hit all the targets right in the center of the target. " Ha guess those days with Tenten was really helpful because my accurracy is getting better and better,, also my Kuznami is becoming a useful weapon for me because I'm starting to master and create stronger versions of Kuznami. Looks like I'm getting stronger and stronger everyday and very soon I can have my rematch with Neji Hyuga, But I will give it one more try."
Karaot stuck out his right hand and with his two fingers pinched together he he did a circular movent in his palm as he started to form Kuznami where it started to form and after a few seconds of containing the energy the Kuznami was formed and then Karaot ran towards a huge rock and shouted. " KUZNAMI". After impact with the rock the rock blew up into tiny little pieces where Karaot's right hand was still in front of him. " Huff...Huff". Karaot Was covered in bruises and marks after training for hours and no stop in attempt to make him stronger.

[Xander Umahaga]

Finally seeing a heat signature, and a familiar one at that, appear at the field. Smiling to himself, Xander turned to face his guest. Finally seeing the face of a friend he hadn't seen in months, Xander trotted over to him. "Takeshi Kage! Please dont tell me you are the person who answered my challenge."

Looking over his friend up close, he couldn't see a single thing different about his friend. Nevertheless, even if he was his opponent, Xander knew it would be a good fight. Mentally preparing just in case he had to fight his best friend, Xander straightened up his back, getting ready for a surprise attack.

[Kage Takeshi]

Takeshi smiled brightly seeing his old friend and even noticed how he prepared for a sneak attack. "Oh come now, you don't even trust what you believe is one of your best friends? I am not here to fight you!" Sitting down on the soft grass with his legs crossed he pulled out the bottle of Sake hidden behind his back, looking at his old friend with a smile. "I am here to watch the challenge you've given. Ino is also going to be meeting me here."

[Xander Umahaga]

"Well of course she is!" He exclaimed with a grin, relaxing when he knew he wasn't going to be attacked yet, "She is going to be the referee of the match! I'm surprised she didn't tell you." Xander said, keeping his attention on the rest of the field just in case his opponent appeared.

[Karaot Muzaki]

Karaot started to walk back from his location of the training field as he headed towards the Hidden Leaf Village until he spotted two unknown Ninja's in the distance. " Who are they ?" Karaot asked himself and after a brief moment to himself he walked towards the two unknown Ninja's where he made his apperance noticed as he shouted out. " Who are you, Are you from the Hidden Leaf Village because I've never seen you two before." As Karaot Muzaki stood his ground as he looked into the eyes of the two Ninja's

[Kage Takeshi]

Takeshi heard the voice of some unknown entity from around the two of them and asking who they were. Turning his gaze to the new person, Takeshi grinned ever so slightly, seeing some kind of enjoyment coming from this. "Its quite rude to demand the name and origins without introducing yourself first. I guess if you choose not too I will direct you to the headband situated around my neck." Using his index finger he pointed towards the headband showing the symbol of the Hidden Leaf.

"There you go. You must not be too famous around here, never seen or heard about you before." Takeshi quickly added before opening the bottle of Sake and smelling the sweet, yet bitter, liquid.

[Xander Umahaga]

Also noticing the newcomer approach and hearing Takeshi's words, Xander put his hand on his friend's shoulder. "Now now, Takeshi, it's understandable for him not to know me. I have been gone for a few months." Xander said. Pressing in the large movable plate on his left metal arm, it slid to the side revealing Xanders two headbands; the one from his native village and his Konohagakura headband. Showing these to the man, Xander looked at him with his magma colored eyes and said, "Hello. My name is Xander Umahaga, of the Umahaga clan found in the Village Smoldered in Lava. But I do agree with my friend here in that I've never heard of you, even before I left for my two month long mission. So might I ask who your are?"

Then realizing quickly that this person could be his challenger, Xander slid back his arm panel, took a small step back with his right foot so that his metal arm was before him ready to deflect any incoming surprise attack. "Are you the one who answered my sparring challenge?" Xander asked with a combination of worry and excitement.

[Karaot Muzaki]

" Sorry how rude of me let me introduce myself. The name is Karaot Muzaki from the famous Muzaki Clan and the sole survivor from the Muzaki Clan Massacare, I'm a Hidden Leaf Village shinobi". As Karaot pointed his index finger on his headband tied around his neck. " A challenege you say Hmmph, well if you insist of fighting me then I can't hold back" as Karaot just stood still with his arms folded as he waited for his opponent to make the first move as the sparring match was about to begin.

[Kage Takeshi]

"Well let me step back! This sparring match most definitely does not involve me." Takeshi quickly responded while placing the cap back onto the Sake bottle and rolling backwards before flinging himself back upon his feet. "Just a word of advice Karaot-san, don't brag about being the last of your clan. Its pretty uncool around here considering I killed my entire clan. Don't worry though! It was an accident...and I did it during sleep." Giving the young man a wink Takeshi jumped back several yards before landing and staring at the two.

This most definitely will be good if neither of them hold back...though knowing Xander, he will tease him a little bit. He he. Takeshi thought before sitting down and opening the Sake bottle once more.

[Xander Umahaga]

"Yes! Finally! A challenger!" Xander exclaimed. Watching Takeshi jump backwards and give his parting words, Xander turned back toward his opponent whose arms were crossed. "Well, Karaot Muzaki, I hope you dont hold back," Xander started to say, at which time he disappears from Karaot's view with Body Flicker, and reappears right behind him without making a sound and leaned it toward his ear, "because I certainly wont be."

As he finished talking, Xander then jumped out of the way of a counter attack by backhand springing to the center of the field. With the final spring, Xander slide along the ground backwards facing Karaot's back, brought up his right hand, did the series of one-handed hand signs, and brought his hand up to his mouth. "Fire Release: Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique!" Xander yelled, and shot out six tiny fireballs at Karaot.

[Karaot Muzaki]

Karaot performed a few hand signs and brought his hand to his mouth. " WATER STYLE: WATERBALL JUTSU" A large Waterball came out of Karaot's Mouth and headed towards Xander's Jutsu where both came together and caused to cancel out each other's Jutsu due to the amount of Chakra used on both Jutsu's and ended up causing an explosion inbetween the two Ninja's in progress of a sparring match. " Don't tell me you thought it would be that easy would you". Karaot looked on at his opponent wit a slight grin on his faces where he goes back to folding his arms.

[Akuma]

Takeshi watched as the two jutsu smashed together and exploded into a ball of force and energy. The unknown newcomer certainly knew his stuff but he had to question if that was going to be enough to beat Xander? Then again...the both of them still had secrets. Jutsus that were not known by either party.

Like that mattered! Soon Ino would arrive with the Banana Tempura and the real party would begin! Cracking open the bottle of Sake once more, Takeshi quickly took a swig of the liquid and grinned. "This is going to be fun!"
