"Yes, but in this case we have very little time, which means that we have to go into overdrive and get as much done as possible" he replied to Rin. He was use to training intensely, but he didn't know about his training buddies and wanted to give them a heads up on what was to come because he would be trying to push them as much as possible. Izu simply nodded in response to Rin saying that she would catch up in a bit and saw her stay behind. He guessed that she wanted to eavesdrop on what Akio had to say to Seth. When Izu got to the training grounds he saw that Rin was already there and he guessed that she must have Body-Flickered.

"I hope your curiosity was sated because we have a lot of work to do" he said to her. Just then Seth made his dramatic entrance and Izu rolled his eyes at the show of power. He chuckled at the leaf shinobi's boast about having tricks up his sleeve.

"Theatrical entrances are for impressing the weak and easily defeated, strong opponents will use that to figure out how you fight" Izu commented. He heard Rin call Seth a showoff to him and suggest that the dramatic entrance was because of him and an attempt to mock him. The thought was almost laughable, but he wouldn't put it past the brash and foolish chuunin. Rin then suggested that he show him what was made of. Izu mad to admit that it was a nice idea, and Rin vanished before he could make a response. There was a tone to her voice that almost seemed like she was trying goad him into sparing with Seth, but he didn't mind trying to put the foolish ninja in his place.

"I guess I will. First words of advice, keep theatrics to a minimum and since you lack a bloodline technique, doing foolish stuff will get you killed against a competent shinobi" he said to Seth as slime began to ooze out of his hands and he prepared for any sort of attack.
