A loser like you ain't got no guts!
As the fights continued Taki and Midori watched as some other shinobi took the field. In this next battle it was two female competitors, one girl who wore and white and black leotard, and another girl who wore a Iwagakure shinobi uniform. Taki looked out to them.
"Hey Miss Midori, that chick in the red she’s one of us right?" Taki would look down at the pamphlet she was given when she entered.
"Sui-kazura...man that name does not roll off the tongue. Imma just cawl her Suikazooie.” She watched as the two of them prepared to go at it.
"That chick has one sweet leotard.” she’d say commenting on the Asuka's attire.
She'd then turn the pamphlet over to the Kirigakure section, and would see Suikazura's opponent listed at the front. "Asooka, Waruichey, Okay...cool." As the fight began Suikazure immediately lept into the air and threw up a smoke bomb. Afterwards the other girl a short time leaped into the air to intercept her with a flying kick. In that quick instance Suikazura split herself into two. But Taki thought that something was off.
"Hey Midori, that girl in the Iwa uniform she’s two people now but she didn’t make any hand seals, how she doin that?” From what Taki could see it looked like she was going in for some kinda strike.
"Yo she’s gonna cut that girls leg off!” Taki'd think a look of alarm on her face. However just in the knick of time the girl in the leotard turned into a set of bandages and wrapped her opponent up.
"Say what...!?" The girl would look back at her teacher.
"Miss Midori what kinda ninjitsu are these girls usin?” she’d say looking to her teacher putting her hands on the railing and watching the fight intently.
As the fight continued Suikazura would be wrapped up in the ground and the chick in the leotard would deliver two hard strikes to her opponent. As the duo landed on the ground Kazura looked to go for a strike but Asuka practically vanished away.
"Whoa...how fast is that chick? She must be some kinda Taijitsu expert.” After a moment the girl would be on a wall directly beneath where Taki and Midori were situated. Taki leaned over the railing and watched her intently. But in a matter of moments the girl pretty much disappeared.
"What the!? Miss Midori she disappeared!?” she looked back at Midori her jaw practically on the ground awe struck by that.
"It was like the cloak thingie...but like instant.” She watched Suikazura as her clone moved across the battlefield. Taki heard the sounds of cloth tearing as the other version of her came out from the bandages she was wrapped in and watched as she coughed up blood.
"Man that chick must’ve really hit her hard if she’s coughing up blood.” She’d then reassess the situation again however.
"But even still, that chick can really take a punch.” she’d look down at her and then smirk.
"Yeah mess em up, Suikazooie.” she’d say cheering on her countrymen she didn’t really have that much pride in her village since she was more loyal to her family but she’d rather she her own people win rather than not. However as the girl cheered she hadn’t noticed the action going on nearby and was rocked when a massive explosion rang out, knocking her back into her chair.
Smoke filled the area where the two were located and Taki coughed a tad before looking up and seeing Asuka the leotard girl soaring through the air.
"Whoa...how’d she get out a dat!” The leotard wearing girl would land on the ground and she seemed have this possessed look on her face her eyes looked rather relentless and she did not look like she was in a good mood. As she neared the ground Suikazura shot some stick stuff out of her mouth which made Taki wretch a little. But the leotard girl landed on it like it wasn’t nothing and charged her by this point Taki was thoroughly entertained by the match and didn’t want to end.
"Aww, this is just like one of wrasslin events we do at home this is awesome!” As the girl gained on her foe it looked as if the strike was going to land but Suikazura took a defensive stance instead.
"Yo why is just standin there?” the young girl would then cup her hands to her mouth
"Yo Suikazuioooie she’s comin right for ya! Get outta da way!” she’d say gesturing for her to move to the side even though it was clear that she wasn’t paying attention, however as Asuka’s strike landed Sui was moving out of the way but Asuka kept punching.
"S-say wha...that Asooka chick ain’t hittin nothin? That some kinda genjitsu.” However after the short exchange Suikazura threw down another explosive.
"Man how many of those things is she packing...and how come that clone hadn’t poofed yet?” she’d think keeping her eyes on the fight. Asuka would once again go on the offensive.
"How fast is this girl!?” As the battle raged the fight would turn into a two on one situation.
"This is intense…” Asuka would deftly try and move out of the way but would be cut off by one of the clones and would then proceed to chuck the girl across the ground with one hand.
"That goil is a monsta…” she’d think, her eyes would then scan the text on her arm.
"Iron Fist…” she’d think.
"C’mon Suikazoooie you can’t let this Iron Fist Fucka take ya down!” As the girl dropped to the ground Asuka went on the offensive once again charging her but she seemed like she was tapped out one of the girls clones taking another defensive stance.
"She’s got her now!” she'd think making a fist as she smiled out at the battlefield. Asuka would try and go for a quick blow but would have her attempt stuffed by the girl and afterwards used the last of her strength to hide. Suddenly a buzzer would sound.
"Man that was crazy! I can’t wait till I get to do this! With your help I’m gonna send em all packin!” the girl would say hyped up.
"Once I get here I'm gonna sweep all the competition and then, onto savin Uncle!” she’d say. The youth was pumped after having watched the fight. Taking her seat.
"As soon as I graduate! We're goin all the way I can promise ya dat! If that's the standard I gotta live up too you better believe I'm gonna smash it!"Taki was highly motivated, she not only wanted to succeed but she wanted to be the absolute best.
She'd need to give her training her all if she wanted to save her uncle and with her new standard set in place she was more enthusiastic than ever. She couldn't wait to get home and get back to work. Wanting to be just as strong if not better than the example set before her.
