[hr]

Yamato gritted his teeth as he stood there, nailed to the ground as if it were. He was thinking of a solution, but it seemed the solution came to him. The man that was bent over and holding a hand to the ground was locked in place, more or less. That left three to deal with Yamato, Rei and Giichi. As he glanced to the left he noticed that Giichi was mostly doing his own thing. An annoying trait of the Uzumaki's. [color=9e0039]“Idiot..”[/color] he muttered to himself as he watched Giichi attempt to hit the man. Did Giichi not realise that these individuals were even more skilled than Yamato was? Their jutsu were collaborated, even if it didn't seem like that. These enemies had thought one hundred moves ahead, pushing Yamato and the others to think one hundred and one moves ahead. Something that was hard when you don't know the full extent of your enemies moves. It was especially hard because Yamato had to account for Giichi and Rei. Normally he'd leave them to do their own thing, and die on their own accord. But with Rei here, that was something he couldn't afford, and the death of Giichi under his command would likely throw any idea of an alliance between the Uzumaki's and the Minamoru's off the table.

He glanced back at the three shinobi in front of him, taking them in. One was locked, two were free to move. Before he got a chance to come up with a plan, one of the two shinobi sunk into the ground. There was nothing Yamato could really do about it, and he was forced to wait what would happen. They were too strong for a team of two [b]genin,[/b] and a chunin. 

Meanwhile, Rei had gotten up again, slowly and still lanky, stumbling to her left before catching herself on a tree. A snicker escaped her as a tear ran cross her cheek, as she looked up to Giichi standing in front of her. Her voice was shaky, but determined, as she spoke out to Giichi again. [color=f6989d]“Cover me, I'm going to try again.”[/color] Without as much as a word more she started forming handseals again. The series of seals was long and complicated, but she performed them just as rapid as Yamato would - who already had an above average seal forming speed. 

[color=82ca9d]“Grass Style: Grabbing Vines...”[/color] a voice spoke out, seemingly from nowhere. Yamato looked around, and then looked down. From the grass the man rose again, grabbing onto Yamato's ankles with his arms, which had seemingly turned into grass vine-whips. Very rapidly, almost indistinguishable from vague hand movements unless you'd have a Sharingan, Yamato formed seals again and inhaled. He didn't need the Great Fire Destruction technique, a simple fireball jutsu would suffice, so it was quickly ready. It seemed that these opponents were slow, but very powerful. The only one that had shown speed so far was the one who was standing across Giichi, and he needed the body flicker technique to get that speed.

Whilst inhaling he formed the tiger seal, and he exhaled quickly to not waste any time. He aimed down, at his own feet, spewing his fire right into the face of the Grass shinobi. He didn't seem to respond to the fire but Yamato felt his legs free up, as he burned both the grass binds and the Grass Whipvines away. With a quick single movement he jumped back, out of the fire, and then towards the pair of genin, quickly getting in front of Giichi. [color=9e0039]“Giichi.. your clan's legacy jutsu, do you know it?”[/color] It was a simple but somewhat cryptic question for the enemy. Wondering what clan he must be, the man in front of them stood with his robe covering his hands, and his rice hat covering his eyes. Baka's. Trying so hard to look cool, to look like a kage. [color=9e0039]“Use your instincts. Follow me up when the time is right. You either succeed now, or we will die.”[/color] His words were, unlike before, calm and collected again, but still with an aggressive and rude undertone. Yamato's hands started firing up again, without even forming seals. He gritted his teeth and looked at the man in front of them, taking in his appearance. They seemed calm, all four of them, and Yamato could tell why. They were winning this fight, and were slowly wearing down Yamato and his team. [color=9e0039]“Ksu... baka-hokage... sending me on missions like this.. give me a challenge already.”[/color] Yamato said, cockily. There was a chance if Giichi and Yamato's collaboration would work - more so, if Giichi understood what Yamato had meant. He looked back at Giichi shortly, noticing that Rei was doing some handseals. No doubt would she try to support him. His head turned back to the front again as he muttered against the enemies. [color=9e0039]“Let's go then, [b]idiots.[/b]”[/color] He set a step forward, ready to sprint, and slung his fist back.

[color=f6989d]“Oniisan, [i]Oichi[/i] asks if you can train her today.”[/color] Rei said, with a big grin on her face. She had a phone next to her ear and was looking at Yamato, who was sitting behind the dinner table working on calligraphy. [color=9e0039]“Nanda..? Who is Oichi now.. another one of your stupid friends?”[/color] Rei stuck out his tongue at him, which he didn't react to. She was childish, at times. She shook her head afterwards. [color=f6989d]“Nope. Because she isn't stupid. Look.”[/color] She held out her phone and showed who she was talking to: [i]Oichi.[/i] On the screen was a [url=http://safebooru.org//samples/1444/sample_33b29ea93a699a91611625c16dbfdd2729479e76.png?1513116]picture[/url] of her. [color=9e0039]“Why is her hair so long..? She knows she will get grabbed and killed. Right.”[/color] Yamato said, looking back to his calligraphy and continueing it, with delicate brushes. For an aggressive young lad, he was awfully skilled in the art of calligraphy. 

[color=f6989d]“No, she doesn't know that, because we don't go on dangerous missions yet. Besides, they say that Hinata had long hair too! Don't you like Oichi? She looks nice right?”[/color] Rei yammered on, unwilling to give up on helping her friend, who was apparently listening in on the phone. Yamato simply sighed and put his hands on the edge of the table after putting down his brush. He shoved himself back in the chair and stood up, leaning on the table with both hands. [color=9e0039]“You know dad arranged for me to marry the Sunagakure girl. It doesn't matter what I think, since the Sunagakure girl will visit us in a few days. You need to train, so go train, or else I won't make dinner for you. [b]Go.[/b]”[/color]

Rei pouted her lips and turned around, walking away. She headed up the stairs towards her room, not wanting to go train. [color=f6989d]“He's always so mean to me, Oichi. I don't know what you all see in him.. sometimes I wish he wasn't my brother.”[/color] she said, loud enough for Yamato to still hear. He simply got aside the chair and shoved it back into the table rather hard. [color=9e0039]“Ksu....”[/color] he said softly as he placed a hand on his forehead. After taking a minute like that to think, he simply turned around and headed to the backyard, opening the large glass sliding doors before stepping outside and getting ready to train himself.

[hr]

As he approached the Grass style shinobi in front of him his fist was flung forwards, hitting the man right in the face and sending him flying back a meter, landing on his back. Yamato took this moment to form rapid seals. [color=9e0039]“[b]KATON![/b] Fiery Bind!”[/color] he yelled as flames erupted from his back, forming two arms that rapidly sped towards the shinobi. The man was slow, but fast enough to kick his feet back, plant a single hand in the ground and form the tiger seal with the other. [color=82ca9d]“Annoying kid... Grass Style: Grass Armor...”[/color] he spoke softly and slowly, as grass from all around them flew upwards and then towards his body, attaching itself like an armor.

Noticing this, Yamato gritted his teeth. He hoped his technique would get through. As the arms of fire got near, the man jumped back in an attempt to dodge, but the arms followed the man and then, ultimately, grabbed his arm. Yamato in turn realized his plan was succesful so far. All he needed to do now was form some more seals and deal with the man. He looked back at Giichi whilst forming new seals, the smell of burning grass covering the area as the Fiery Bind dug itself through the man's grass armor. [color=9e0039]“Get ready.”[/color] he said to Giichi, looking at Rei who was still forming handseals. What crazy jutsu was she going to use.. Yamato couldn't help but feel impressed at what she was doing. He looked at the man in the fiery bind again, who was slowly being dragged closer to Yamato, and spoke up. [color=9e0039]“[b]KATON![/b] Yaoku's Revenge!”[/color] The boy erupted in flames, no doubt startling his enemies and allies all the same. Now was the time to strike for Giichi, utilising two very powerful techniques at once to ensure that if one of them missed, the other would finish the task. Besides, the Rasengan was a wind technique and upon connecting would release wind - something that would fuel the fire technique that Yamato used. The man was surely dead, no matter what happened, as long as Giichi followed through.  

From the fire came forwards a hand, and then a full arm, extending towards the man. At the last moment the hand closed into a fist and seemed to punch right through the Grass armor, before melting the man's skin, body fat and tissue and bones. His entire ribcage was opened up, and the ribs themselves were partly melted away. It was.. crazy how much heat must've come off the fire. The man didn't suffer much, however, and as soon as the fist was dissapearing, Yamato released the fiery bind, making the left arm dissapear first. The lifeless body would fall down on the left side, whilst being held up by the right arm, before that one dissapeared too and the body fell to the ground completely. 

There was nothing quite more disgusting than the smell of melted flesh, skin and bone, but it didn't matter. This was life or death - Yamato knew this to be true. It took his most powerful technique to finish off one of them, meaning that these guys.. were obviously chunin level, or even jonin. Yamato panted as the technique would always take much of his chakra. He could keep going, but taking down the other 3 was going to be tough now. [color=9e0039]“Giichi, Rei, get behi- ksu..”[/color] He got interrupted by Rei, who seemingly finished her long series of handseals. She ran past both Giichi and Yamato, with a strange, new look in her eyes. One that said determination. [color=f6989d]“[b]KATON![/b] Fists of a Tiger!”[/color] How had she.. when? She had mimicked Yamato's jutsu almost perfectly, and although it took her a long time to even start the jutsu, and her hands were not engulfed in as much fire as Yamato's would when he used it, it was.. impressive for a genin. Her long black hair waved behind her as she charged forwards to the three shinobi. [color=f6989d]“[b]You'll pay for when you kicked me, scum![/b]”[/color]

Yamato had little time to react, looking at Giichi quickly and nodding at him to go as well. He wasn't sure if the young boy could pull off two Rasengans in a row, but it was pretty much the only jutsu in Giichi's arsenal that would prove any use in this fight. Without wasting anymore time Yamato activated the Fists of a Tiger technique again and rushed forwards, quickly catching up to Rei. [color=9e0039]“Damn idiot...”[/color] he uttered at her, but pushed out a smile as he did so. Seems that two apples from the same tree might be alike, after all.
