Also, I don't think anyone else is making a CS, so after Thundercat sends his in, we'll start voting ^^

Yay, though this is bittersweet for me. If I get accepted, well you know. ;~;

The offense that Nazo had taken was indeed the first sign that this fight was well under way. The attack itself was always Nazo’s initial attack in any of his fights. In most of them, it would end there, either by death or the other warrior conceding to defeat. On the rare fights that Nazo would be in, that it would go pass the first attack, Nazo would always try to defeat them in the second attack. There has only been one other fight that Nazo has been in that would was prolonged throughout an hour. This fight against Seisui is the second time he sees this happening. He would like to avoid that.

As Nazo went in for his attack, his back was turned, which is an odd way to attack, but that is just how he rolls. In any case, it was blocked like it was nothing. First, Seisui seemed to use the hilt of his Chinmoku to parry Nazo’s sword, and then using his scabbard to hit Nazo on the left side, right above the hip. It hurt, sure, and yeah the parrying of his blade took him by surprise, but Nazo still tried to remain active and focused. It wasn’t until he felt the force of the scabbard into his side. It definitely hurt like hell. It surprised him momentarily, but a moment is all one needs to win, and that is what Seisui seems to be doing as he quickly slashed upward and then downward at Nazo’s hand.

The slash was only an instant, and there was only that inbetween the preperation of the slash and the initial contact. That’s how much time that Nazo had to redirect it with his sword, and that’s what exactly he did. All he had to do was twist his body accordingly to where the slash would only hit Nazo’s own katana. The sound that was the result of the two swords clashing caused the birds in the trees nearby to fly away, releasing cries of surprise of their own. By the time that they all were gone, Nazo was turned face-to-face to Seisui. He had his sword still in reverse grip and it was in a diagonal position. Nazo was trying his best to avoid the sword from cutting into him. That is why he did a dodge roll to the side. It was just in time to cause it would seem Chinmoku would have overpowered Nazo’s own, considering he was in a crouching stance.

“Too close. Need to be careful.” Nazo said as he was on one knee.

Nazo knew he had to be more careful, but he also didn’t want to be on the defensive throughout the entire fight. Nazo also knew that the stance he was in was also not going to work for the time being. Perhaps later on in the fight, he would be able to go back to it, but for now, Nazo felt that taking a more traditional stance would be the best thing to do. In light of that, he switched to an Iaido stance. This stance was vastly different from the Tenmatsu-suru stance. The Iaido is a more traditional one where the user has their sword semi-out from the scabbard and only when an attack is utilized does it come out. It’s a more quick-and-easy type of style. Nazo prefers this one for prolonged battles.

So, as he stood up, Nazo found himself once again face-to-face to Seisui, but this time he stood strait and poised for intensity. He, this time would wait for Seisui to take the offensive. He had to be careful not to rush in again. It was probably the heat of the fight taking over then. Or maybe, that’s’ what he wanted Seisui to think. Maybe he was just getting a good measure of how quick this man can react. Perhaps he was just doing that to scale the man’s skill. Yes, it was definitely that and furthermore, he will use it to further his edge in this fight. Now, the waiting game is where it will decide the outcome of the next series of attacks.

The stage has been set. Both warriors have taken their fighting stance and both are stern in the eyes and are ready get it done. Nazo was in his famous Tenmatsu-suru stance and Seisui in his Kia-muki Renge-hen stance. They were mere feet across from each other and then it began.

With Nazo’s quickness, Nazo utilizes the first of three techniques he has created using his unique Tenmatsu-suru style. By running towards Seisui, who was just five or six feet directly across from him, Nazo utilizes several acrobatic techniques such as swift turns, spins, and all sorts of things. This would lead into an impalement. Should it be successful, Nazo would be able to end it quickly. Should it not, well Nazo would already have something in store for his opponent. It would be interesting to see how his opponent reacts to this. Not only did Nazo quickly dash out, but within the short amount of feet between the two, he also was able to get closer within two seconds. The speed at which he can move is an astonishing feat on its own. The blade, by the angle it was at, would strike somewhere on the right lung.

Just thought I should say this. In the event that I get accepted, I don't know if I'll be able to post right away. I don't know how soon it'll be or how long the internet will be off, but the estimated amount of time is for the rest of the month. It came at a really bad time, definitely.

Operation: X-Men

So, I guess I should say this. It's looking like that starting sunday, that my internet will be shut off for the entire month. I don't know if that's the case, but I'll try to find out what is really gonna happen this week.

Naruto: Of Compassion and Tyranny

The flavor of honor was among the many things that Nazo could taste in the air. His opponent standing in front of him was indeed the man that Nazo had heard tales about. This man, known as Seisui Mayonaka, is a name known to Samurai all over the world. His reputation might be nowhere the level as Nazo himself or even Samurai who have been fighting all of their lives in mortal combat, but his name is known in a moderately small scale. With that in mind, Nazo wasn’t the least bit surprised that Seisui not only appeared in the way that he did, but also challenged Nazo to battle. An honorable request, one that Nazo accepts graciously.

“I, Nazo, of clan Yagami, accept your challenge.” Nazo said.

Nazo walked to a point in the center of the clearing where the two Samurai were only mere feet away from each other. The beams of light from the sun and the semi-covering from the leaves was shined down upon them. Nazo, with his sword in hand, took his Tenmatsu-suru stance. This stance had the sword pointing the opposite direction that Nazo was facing and his body was turned to a point where his body was taking a half of a 180-degrees turn. He waited for Seisui to take his stance before he would attack. It was the least he could do for a fellow follower of the Samurai Honor Code.
