I see the answer clearly as I launch the shuriken with deadly accuracy in your direction.
Your look of shock finally brings the smile to my face.
----------------------------------------------------------------
At the last minute, you dodge the oncoming shuriken and drop from the tree. You study me for a second before a smirk shows up on your face.
"All right then." Is all you say before pulling out two kunai, one in each hand, and coming at me. This is very unlike you. Usually stealth and strategy is your style, not charging in to face the enemy hand-to-hand. I must admit, I'm caught off guard for a split second before taking out kunai of my own to block you.
Your strength surprises me and I am pushed back a little. When did you get so strong? I move to the side and your forward momentum throws you a little off balance. As you stumble, I shift both kunai to my left hand and block two of your main chakra points with my right. You won't be using your shadow jutsus anytime soon.
In the seconds it take you to recover and turn around to face me, I have already put a good distance between us. You are fast, but I'm faster.
"Well, I've gotta say, your being a bit troublesome, Neji." He returns the kunai to their holster and puts his hands in his pockets.
"Am I?" I put away my own kunai and cross my arms in front of me.
"You don't think so?"
"No. It's just a friendly sparring match between fellow ninja."
"Hm." Before I can react, he forms the hand sign for the Shadow Restraint jutsu and two large shadowy hands anchor my feet to the ground.
How can he still use his chakra?!
