Kagasei shrugged a little at Minato's question, "I didn't kill him, he'll be mostly fine." Himawari sighed glancing at both of them, "Come on you two," She placed a hand onto Kagasei's shoulder, "You need to get some rest and prepare for your next fight." Kagasei nodded, "Yes, Sensei." The young shinobi took the time during his break to take a breather and think over his next opponent's match. That blue haired Genin seemed extremely well versed in almost every ninja weapon one someone could think of, not to mention his collection of scrolls with all sorts of tools sealed inside. This fight was going to be tricky, but Kagasei was not going to lose to him, there was nothing getting in his way of having a chance to go one on one with Minato. A few minutes past before the Judge made his way back to the ring. "It is time for the third and final match of today, can I please have combatants one and three enter the ring." The blue haired boy, Sotan, dropped down to the ground floor and walked to the ring, his hands rested behind his head with a rather large, friendly smile on his face. Kagasei made his way to the ring shortly after, arms crossed and eyes locked on his opponent. Lifting his hand into the air, the judge looked at both Genin and then his hand dropped, "Begin!" Despite being in such a laid back pose, Sotan was surprisingly quick to drop into a low stance and throw a volley of shuriken at Kagasei. But unfortunately for Sotan, his opponent was just as quick. As soon as the blue haired shinobi let the shuriken loose, Kagasei jumped back slightly, spinning around just fast enough for the projectiles to clang of the flat surface of his sword strapped to his back before completing his full rotation and making a three point landing, sliding back a few feet. Sotan let out a chuckle, "This is going to be a fun fight!" He swung his hands to the side causing two hidden kunai tied to thin metallic thread to shoot out into his hands as he ran forward to attack. Kagasei's eyes narrowed, stringing a few hand signs together quickly, "Water style: Water Clone Jutsu." The water in his water skin once again began to flow out, this time melding into a human figure similar to Kagasei and then solidifying. Now crouching next to him was an identical clone of Kagasei. The clone sprang to action, lunging forward and blocking Sotan's oncoming attack, locking him into a clash. The blue haired boy was amazingly able to hold back the massive blade with just his two kunai. As Sotan spouted some compliments towards Kagasei for the impressive clone, Kagasei flanked his side and unstrapped the real Kubikiribōchō, swinging down at the boy with massive force. "Not so fast!" Just as Kagasei's blade was going to make contact, Sotan vanished and both the real and clone swords slammed into the ground with an impressive booming sound, rocks and dust erupted from the impact, clouding the arena for a few moments before quickly dispersing. Standing in the center of the ring was Kagasei and his clone, both blades lodged halfway into the ground and a five foot crater surrounding them. Off to the side, close to the boundary line Sotan was smiling, mimicking the gesture of wiping sweat off his forehead, "You're quite fast with that thing, that's pretty impressive for a Genin." Kagasei and his clone peered over in Sotan's directions, both of them pulling their swords free from the ground with one quick motion, "A battle is not the place to be striking conversation," The boy flicked his sword to the side, flinging all the dirt and rocks off the blade, "You should take this more seriously." You could hear a hint of anger in Kagasei's voice as he spoke. He took in a deep breath, calming his nerves the best he could. He couldn't let his anger take over, he need to say focused. Kagasei would never be able to forgive himself if he got disqualified from the tournament. The young shinobi quickly glanced over at Minato, reminding himself of his goal and took a fighting stance once more. Sotan shook his head a little, blowing some of his blue hair out of his face and preparing for another attack, "I think you're taking this too seriously." The boy smiled as he launched the two kunai in his hands into the air, grabbing onto the threads. Running towards Kagasei he used the threaded kunai like bladed whips, slinging them in his opponent's direction. Kagasei parried the knives with two kunai of his own, giving his clone an opening to run in and take a swing at Sotan, who gracefully leaped over the clone and, using the momentum of his threaded kunai's new trajectories, sliced the clone in two casing it to revert into water and pool onto the ground. While this was going on, Kagasei signed a string of hand seals, "Ninja Art: Hidden Mist Jutsu." The puddle of water, that once was Kagasei's clone, slowly rose into the air creating a think fog that consumed the area. "You can't beat me as easily as you could Juzo." Sotan smilled, unstrapping a large windmill shuriken from his back and spinning it in his hand, "You gotta be a little more creative than that!" With the shuriken spinning rapidly, he too began to spin causing a gust of wind strong enough to blow the mist away. Just as the mist cleared up, a loud clang echoed throughout the room as Sotan's shuriken collided with Kagasei's sword, sparks burst from the impact. "Come on, you really didn't think that was going to work did you?" "No, but that was the plan." A voice spoke from behind Sotan, the blue haired shinobi's eyes widened. Sotan looked back to see another Kagasei standing behind him, one hand signing the Seal of Confrontation and the other hand open and inches from Sotan's back. Kagasei let out a little chuckle, "Water Style: Water Prison Jutsu." Sotan looked at the version of Kagasei that was locked in with his shuriken as it began to melt away into water and form around his body. The young blue haired boy struggled against it in vain as the water slowly shaped itself into an orb completely encapsulating Sotan inside. The now imprisoned Genin fought to free himself, but the constant chakra flow from Kagasei's open hand held the spherical water prison together. "You should never take your opponent lightly, it could be the death of you." With his free hand, Kagasei once again unstrapped Kubikiribōchō from his back, slowly embedding it into the floating ball of water until it was gently against Sotan's neck, "Give up?" Sotan nodded furiously, desperately wanting to be released. Kagasei slide his sword from the water, strapping it onto his back, and released the water prison, dropping the boy and the water to the ground. As the now soaked Sotan gasped for air, the Judge dropped down to the ground and, after checking over Sotan, gestured towards Kagasei, "The winner of the last round is Kagasei Momochi. This concludes the group one matches. The exam will continue with the group two matches tomorrow in this same arena." He turned to the Hokage, "You're finishing words, Lord Hokage." Boruto nodded, standing up and getting the rooms attention, "Good job to all of today's combatants," The Hokage gave a smile to Kagasei, who nodded in response, "Now I ask that all of you in group two take the day to prepare for tomorrow and as for today's winner," He turned his focus to Kagasei, "Get some well needed and well deserved rest, you'll need it for the finals. You all are dismissed." With that Boruto, after bowing slightly to everyone, turned and left. Kagasei walked up to his squad, Himawari clapping a little, "Great Job out there, a little over the top, but great none the less." "Thank you, Sensei." Kagasei bowed to her and then turned to Minato, "Better do good tomorrow, I'd hate to be disappointed."
