-------------------------------------------------------------------

Surprise did not begin to cover the sensation that Akira had felt upon his arrival to the academy training field. The Senju had expected to be met with the sights of two Genin, perhaps even Chunin; duking it out. What he saw however, was two full fledged Jounin in a standoff at opposite ends of the field. With clear goals set upon each side. From as far away as he was sat, he was barely able to make out the one name that he had heard. [I]Ichika.[/I]

At first he thought to himself that the woman had seemed unimpressive, although he had to admit her choice of attire was stellar as he observed it's similarities to his own. Without a moment's pause the two Jounin darted towards each other at such speeds that it became completely impossible Akira to track their movements, the pair seemingly becoming nothing but blurs of colour flowing from one spot to another. Akira became absolutely besotted by their ineffable skills. [color=teal]"They're amazing...Go Ichika-Sensei! You can do this!"[/color] He screeched at the top of his lungs, pumping his fist in the air from the sidelines. Hoping that the Uchiha, whom according to his classroom blackboard would soon become his teacher; would hear him.

The clunks of strikes hitting wood and vice versa came so rapidly and had such a short period of time between them that Akira was barely able to tell when either fighter was on the offensive, their movements displaying a level of skill so far beyond anything he and his classmates could even dream of achieving at their current levels. [color=teal][I]I'm gonna become that strong one day. I'll bet this is what it was like to watch great-grandfather![/I][/color] He thought to himself, his eyes glimmering as he watched an array of shadow clones appear. Akira's eyes were beginning to become adjusted to their speed, although he still couldn't make out exactly what was going on. 

This childlike wonder briefly turned to confusion as he noticd the blonde haired Jounin was striking out at nothing occasionally, and it took Akira far longer than he would ever dare to admit to realise that she had been placed under Genjutsu. He had become fixated on the other one, whose name he had not caught. Watching her dispatch so many copies of such a clearly talented fighter was such a marvel to behold.

The battle was going incredibly evenly, up until the point where the Uchiha had formed what seemed to be an enormous swamp. Assuming this was some kind of sealing jutsu about to take place, the Senju child hastily bumbled and reached for his pencil and compendium, but by the time he had looked up; the battle appeared to be over as the one who would become his team leader slammed her foe into the mud of the swamp. Akira merely blinked when this occured, but somehow, once his eyes opened again Ichika was standing triumphantly in the middle of her circle once again. [color=teal][I]This isn't possible, there's just no way! How did she cover such a distance that fast?! I only blinked! Even the body flicker requires a hand seal! [/I][/color]

Countless thoughts began to run through the ten year olds head as he struggled in vain to comprehend what occured. Of anyone had seen him in this state of confusion, they'd have probably seen steam spewing from his ears. [color=teal][I]This just isn't possible... [/I][/color]
