Welcome to Gaia! ::

Stone was surprised he stood there and took his kick. It was the same as Stone had done earlier. He landed lightly on his feet. "Yes, but the chance you would hit me with a long range weapon is low as well. You will have to use some type of ninjutsu." Stone responded. He wanted to find out what Ginta could do. Maybe he would try to do something new, or not. Suddenly he jolted forward and swung his right fist around to give him a hard punch in the chest, the same place he had kicked him. Long range attacks are impossible if I stay close. he thought.

Stone's head flew back from the uppercut, he saw it coming a little too late. It didn't hurt much, but he had hit him. Stone grinned. "It is your choice." He hopped back a few steps and rushed forward with a melee of light punches aimed at his chest again.

Stone easily blocked the punches with the palm of his hand. He would always be holding back if he had his weights on, they weighed about half of his weight, but there was one on each arm and leg. By now he was able to fight normally with them on though, and he hopes to get heavier weights when he can. "You caught me, I was holding back." he said. "But now I will not."

Stone jumped back quickly and dodged the sweeping kick. He bent his legs and jumped forward to kick Ginta in the face with his right leg, adding extra spin so the other leg could hit him if the first one missed.

Stone caught himself with his hands and flipped upright. He smiled widely. "Good attack Ginta. I look forward to the next." He maintained his usual pose and waited for an attack. He would have to end the fight soon, and maybe train by himself at home. Ginta was fun to fight with but he couldn't et the practice he needed with him. Stone still wanted to see what ninjutsu he could do, but maybe he wouldn't use any at all.

Not far off from the battle a young Hyuuga was steadily jabbing at clones, his byakugan active. He would steadily jump onto a tree and deliver a jab at one clones chest then sweep hit foot up,spin, and push up taking out three clones. Landing the Hyuuga would pivot and roatate in a circle causing a filed of chakra to knock the clones away. All the clones were gone and Virgil breath was even and calm. Looking up at the sun he would reflect the ray of sunlight at a tree with his headband. Wiping off some dust, the Leaf shinobi tied the headband to his head and started his vigouros training.

Virgil took in another breath as he activated the byakugan. He had randomly thrown seven kunai with explosive tags set of by traps and movemnt all over the area. He was timiing him self as he used the byakugan to deflect traps and find some of the kunai and disable the tags. There was one left and he found it under a large snake with mesmerising eyes. He would toss a tag at it and let it explode into flames. Picking up the kunai he would sit down and rest, ready to wait for the chakra to return.

Mikoto
The Silent Assassin

Mikoto ran up the tree holding onto a few more kunai and needles in her hands. Mikoto was going to have to find a weakness in him if she wanted to end this quickly. Mikoto threw four kunais at him again since he blocked the other ones. Mikoto didn't want to use her sharingan at all costs, it was just too much trouble for her.
