It was finally the moment; Sasaku and Kai were on the training grounds, waiting for the rest of the crowd to show up. Some of the other students from the academy came here early. They were easy to depict among the newly arrived, because the ones that were waiting had nothing better to do than wait out the whole night to make sure nothing extra happened. Sasaku was ready to take this show on the road, and Kai knew that Sasaku probably had some skill. This match was going to be too easy though, for Sasaku had too much pride hidden in his heart.
Everyone was finally gathered, and the battle was soon to begin. The last person to arrive was Naruto. Sasaku was tired of waiting, so he called everyone to silence. Both Kai and Sasaku walked to the center of the field. Together, they decided the rules for this epic battle. The boundaries were fairly large, but they audience had no idea what they were about to witness. The rules were simple; the last one standing wins.
The two participants faced away from each other, standing on the lake. Sakura ran up between them and blew a small whistle. The battle had begun. Sasaku jumped onto the tree and propelled himself towards Kai. Kai jumped into the sky and twisted down, similar to what Rock Lee might perform. Lee cheered for Kai in a slurry tone, a bottle of sake curiously in his hand. The distraction was exactly what Kai needed; Sasaku took a small peek at Lee. Kai bounced off of his own chakra, and torpedoed towards Sasaku. Sasaku cussed to himself, but it was too late. Sasaku was hit, and then he turned into a log. The log broke in half and inside lied a paper bomb. Kai disappeared into smoke, that when evaporated contained four kunai shooting out towards a nearby tree. Sasaku jumped out from his hiding place, and countered the kunai with 8 shruiken. Things continued on like this for a long while.
Most of the people in the crowd were completely still. No one dared to move an inch, or even blink. No one wanted to miss anything. This was a show of the lifetime, and missing it would be worse than puberty! Jk? All of the guys were sitting in the trees and staring intently at the movements and strategies. All of the girls were huddled together, as close as they could get, staring intently at the sweat dripping down from the two, hot warriors.
Kai and Sasaku were tiring each other out. It seemed as if they were an equal match. Sasaku smiled at Kai, and Kai jumped to a nearby tree. "Tomokenzan Kagamimanako!" The real battle was about to begin.
********************
Kai made sure to keep his distance from Sasaku. This matter of strategy was extremely difficult. Sasaku increased the amount of his attacks. Sasaku was on fire, literally; he used a fire jutsu designed for swift attacks. Finally, Kai was hit. Sasaku laughed a lot while Kai was lying on the ground, thinking of a plan. Suddenly, a very good plan popped into his head. Kai created a shadow clone, and everyone gasped. "So you too, are able to make shadow clones?" asked Sasaku. "Why don't I show you!" Kai yelled, jumping up towards the now-spinning-and-on-fire Sasaku. Sasaku shot right into the clone. When he hit the real Kai, he disappeared into a puff of smoke. Crap! "That's right, I was the first one." Said Kai, as he came down with a palm thrust of chakra. Sasaku was flung down to the ground. He quickly recovered by rolling and somersaulting away. When Kai reached the ground, blood dripped from his stomach. Sasaku smirked and charged forward. Kai grimaced and put his hand to the sky. Then, he whipped his hand down. Blood, enlaced with chakra, streamed from his hand and hit Sasaku. Sasaku was pushed backwards, just enough for Kai to appear behind him. Sasaku was prepared though, and slammed Kai down into the ground. Kai slowly got up and crawled to the nearby tree. "I think we should stop, before you further humiliate yourself." Spoke Sasaku. "Not a chance." Remarked Kai.
Kai stood back up with a smile. "What are you smiling about?" Asked Sasaku. "You'll see now, won't you." Spoke Kai.
