GO![/url][/center] [hr] Setsuko had opened with a vacuum palm. It was.. an interesting opening? To be expected from her that she'd go for ninjutsu rather than the gentle fist - but they hadn't made rules about it so.. all was fair in this fight. He twisted his body, turning his right shoulder back as he stepped away to the left, keeping his eyes on Setsuko at all times. She'd gone for a distraction maneuver as well - a smart move but it was pretty obvious given her immediate sprint towards him. If she expected him to be caught by surprise by a simply trick like this, she was underestimating him. It wasn't without reason that the Bastard was one of the better gentle fist users of the clan. [color=gray][i]“Tsk. I was calling you a baka only for fun, but now you're really becoming a baka..”[/i][/color] he said mockingly as she approached. With his byakugan he caught the forming of chakra in her left hand and quickly devised a plan. He stepped forwards swiftly, meeting Setsuko in the middle. He moved his left arm against her left, smashing it aside. Now, for the spectators, the raw chakra was definetely visible as two gentle fist users clashed. Higoho then noticed her right arm, and thinking quickly, tensed up his body preparing for the impact. It was a viable choice for him, he was used to sparring and taking a hit like this would be 'easy'. That didn't mean it wouldn't hurt but he'd definitely not be incapacitated. He leaned into the strike as it was about to land to give some counter pressure, and as soon as her hit landed, he would move his left hand to grab onto her right hand, holding it in place on his chest. His face tensed up from the pain, but a shit-eating grin managed to shine through the tensing up of his face. [color=gray][i]“Now..”[/i][/color] he'd say as he swiftly pulled back his free right hand and sent it forwards towards her chest. This time he made sure to use chakra, after all, she'd decided she wanted to test him. The time she had to react with her own free hand was small, but it was a possibility. To counter that, if she had managed to block it, he would simply release her hand that he was holding and use it to deliver the same chakra strike to her chest. Except, where she had been 'merciful' in her attack, he would be less so, molding enough chakra to possibly disable her gentle fist right away. And then, he'd swiftly strike with his other hand again, aiming at her shoulder. The strike would be just as hard as the other strike, not strong enough to dislocate her shoulder obviously, but putting the real power in the chakra.
