Nasuke vs. Karasu (Training)

First topic message reminder :

Nasuke and karasu land in the forest near the akatsuki and the phoenixes vanish in a poof of smoke. "ahh" Nasuke strecthes his arms. "it feels good to be sane again...."

(Zero) Edit: After Karasu's training, he decides to test his newly developed skills in a training battle with Nasuke in the Forest of the Akatsuki. Since they have been training all day, it is now in the dead of night. All is silent as the chirps of crickets can be heard from a distance.

Karasu dismissed Papa Huma and then collapsed to the ground, being unable to stand. I didn't know that this technique expends chakra in the original state also... oh man... this training is really killing me.

Nasuke sighs and heals karasu with his chakra. "sure you can handle it, it only gets worse from here"

He's right, I must manage this if I ever hope to succeed. Karasu stood up, stronger than ever. "What's the next exercise?"

"you gonna fight a tiger with your bare hands, no chakra..unless you're using it to enhance your body."

Well, I'll have to admit, I didn't see that one coming... "Ohh... kay? Where's the tiger?"

Nasuke makes some handsigns and slams his palm onthe ground. Chakra swirls around him and a 8 foot white tiger with black stripes appears. "meet my newest partner, byakko the tiger of fall" "dont die my student"

"Hmph." I can still use a weaker form of Taijutsu without adding in any chakra... time to change the game a bit. Karasu stepped forward a bit casually and waited for the tiger to charge at him.

Byakko looks down at karasu and takes a step. The branches of the trees extend and try to restrain him.

Hmm? Karasu took a defensive stance and exhaled. He was prepared to counter or dodge anything that was going his way. This isn't your average over-sized tiger...

The branches curled around karasu and bound him in midair.

I didn't even see those coming there... what a fail. At this point, there's only one way out. Shadow of the Dancing Leaf! Without expending any chakra at all, Karasu managed to shatter the branches, landing on both feet below.

Byakko takes another step and multitudes of vines and branches wrap around karasu binding him from head to toe.

Tsk... what a bother. Karasu performed the same Taijutsu, only more powerful this time. Now, to prevent the tiger from stepping forward anymore, he punched the ground so hard that it caused huge slabs of earth to come blasting at the tiger.

The earth starts to rise but byakko roars and the earth goes back to normal and then the earth turns on karasu.

Using his Nightshade Taijutsu Combo, Karasu managed to destroy the mounds of earth with ease. How is it controlling the surroundings? I've never seen anything like this...

Nasuke makes handsigns then touches byakko. "summoning infusion jutsu" A large blinding light fills the area.

Karasu didn't flinch and took a deep breath and exhaled, closing his eyes. He focused his physical energy and then braced himself.

Nasuke was covered in tribal symbols, his shirt was gone and he had claws over his hands, his appearance looked resembled that of a tiger. Nasuke growled. "let's begin" Nasuke dashed at karasu on all fours, amazingly fast for a human as well.

Didn't expect his power to increase this quickly... can't do anything to stop him for now. Karasu didn't make any hand seals, nor expend any chakra to use a much weaker version of his Leaf Teleportation technique. Leaves from the forest surrounded him, swirling around extremely quickly until he finally vanished as the leaves all settled down and sank to the ground.

Karasu observed from a tree, suppressing the chakra that he didn't need in order to estimate the "tiger"'s extent.

Nasuke stops and sniffs the ground and stays completely still, all at once his body vanishes and he lets out a roar as he slashes at karasu from behind with his claws. "byakko is the spirit of fall, i can communicate with nature, in this forest, you cannot win without going all out"

Karasu managed to just barely avoid the attack by jumping onto another tree branch. He looked perfectly composed and calm, but inside, he was starting to panic. Sensei... how do you expect me to go all out when I can't even expend a bit of chakra?

(lol remember i said you can use chakra if it's to enhance your body last time i checked the innergates helped increase power lol) NAsuke pounced on karasu

OOC: Lol, riiiight. But I don't wanna lose my life in the process. /wrists

BIC: He's too fast...

Nasuke appears behind karasu and grabs him, binding his arms. "your knowledge of taijutsu is limited?"

"..." Obviously... I only took up Taijutsu mainly to enhance my Kokurai attack...
