The Test
Chapter Two
Katsu stood, looking at Masashi. "You ready? Hah, hell if I care! Here I come!" She ran at Masashi, who took a defensive stance. She started by swinging a punch at him, which he ducked under and parried to the side, returning with something more deadly. "Rasengan!" The swirling ball of chakra and wind formed in his hand, as he attempted to ram it into Katsu's stomach. Katsu moved to the side, the Rasengan ripping the side of her clothing. Katsu then brought a knee up, it speeding for his chest. Masashi whipped his weapon off of his back, blocking the knee and being pushed back. Katsu flipped backwards, making a hand sign. "Chidori!" The lightning sparked and chirped in her hand, as she charged at Masashi once more.
Masashi spoke and activated his Kekki Genkai. "Byakugan, one-hundred furious palms!" As she neared, Masashi intercepted with a palm to her stomach, stunning her. It was all he needed. He began to palm-strike rapidly. "15!" He began to hit harder, stepping forward as Katsu got hit back. "35!" He kept hitting in succession, but Katsu could really take a hit.
"64!" The sixty-fourth hit landed, and Katsu finally managed to make a hand sign. "Chidori Nasagashi!" She yelled, and a shockwave of electricity rippled out, making Masashi fly back. He landed on his feet, sliding. He ran forward, holding his arm out as he ran. "RasenShurikan!" The spiraling ball turned into a giant bladed wind shurikan, with a swirling ball of chakra in the middle. He threw it at Katsu, who simply ducked under it, sliding forward and sending a punch into Masashi's stomach. It knocked him backwards, making him land on his back. He made a hand sign. "Chakra Needle!" A sharp needle made of chakra formed over his hand, and he stabbed it into Katsu's arm. It drained a large amount of her chakra, but did no physical damage.
She moved back, feeling that she was low on chakra after that. She made another sign. "Rasengan!" The spiraling ball of Chakra formed in her hand, as she tried to push it into Masashi's face. He quickly rolled to the side, Katsu missing and tearing apart the rocky ground where Masashi's head was just at. He sent a kick up into her stomach. "Byakugan! Three kicks of fury!" The first one made impact, and he flipped onto his feet. As he flipped, another kick made impact on her chin, sending her flying up. Masashi jumped up above her, smashing down a kick on her forehead.
This kick sent Katsu speeding back down to the ground, where she made a hard impact into the rocky earth. She stood up, looking mad. "Shield of lightning!" Lightning formed around her, lightning that would not protect her, but increase her speed majorly. She bolted at Masashi, and before he had time to react, smashed a fist into his chest. He flew back, and he bolted behind him, kicking him in the other direction. She then seemed to appear over him, grabbing him by the shoulders and flinging him into the air.
She made another hand sign."Chidori bolt!" She shot a bolt of electricity up at Masashi, which hit and electrocuted him. He fell back to the ground, stunned for a moment. He pushed himself up, and Katsu appeared in front of him "Die!" She brought a kick up into his chin, making him flip onto his back. He smiled weakly, and made one last hand sign. "Dragon blade Rasengan!" Using all the strength he could muster, he pushed himself back up, swinging his hand forward into Katsu's stomach. Behind the punch, a large burst of swirling energy slammed into her, cutting her skin-deep and making her fly back into the wall. After that, they both fell forward, not getting up.
"Well..." Kota spoke, walking into the large space between the two. "It seems Masashi has passed the test…since Katsu is no longer able to stand." Ouji walked to the two, and dragged both of them to the medical room. Ouji set them each in a bed, and a woman walked over, wrapping the two's wounds in gauze. She then left them to heal up, masashi's congratulations having to wait until the next day.
