[b][center]Ryu Heisui

Dew Islet[/center][/b]

Ryu watched as his sparring partner jumped to the side and took almost no damage. He also saw the attack to the shoulder coming as well. He was still in mid swing and very little options were left for him to take. He could block the incoming attack or minimize damage. After wasting too much time thinking about how to act, Ryu's body began to act on it's own. He lifted his sword to block the attack and set it self up for an odd tactic. Once the kunai made contact with his sword, Ryu lifted his sheath and chucked it tomahawk style at Natsume's head. He then jumped back away from Natsume, Planted his sword into the ground, and began to form his hands into the Tiger had seal. Once he properly formed the hand seal, he released his chakra and announced, [b]"Water Clone Jutsu."[/b] An almost perfect replica, of Ryu, raised its self from the water behind Natsume. He picked up his sword and got ready for another charge. This time she was going to face a two sided attack. Both Ryu and his clone charged at Natsume.
 Just before either of the two Ryu's reached Natsume, Ryu noticed that there was a new presence on the small island. Without much delay, he took his sword and jammed it into the ground. He used Swift as a breaking mechanism and it had worked. He stopped a few feet short of Natsume. He then cancelled the water clone jutsu and the Ryu, that was charging from behind Natsume, melted into a muddy puddle on the ground. Ryu looked at Natsume and smiled. [b]" I did say it was until our new teammate arrived. I'm a man of my word so I concede the match."[/b] He said with the smile still on his face.
