Chapter 9:
Takada took out a kunai and threw it at Rinn. One of Rinn's plants grew up at the last second and knocked it out of the way. When he looked back at Takada, he was gone.
Rinn: That doesn't work on me. I can sense chakra dipshit.
Rinn threw up a block and Takada appeared out of nowhere, his punch blocked. He looked down and saw that his feet were trapped by Rinn's plants.
Takada: Touché
Takada grinned and made a hand signal.
Rinn: Wait..I've seen this one before...
A blinding white light flashed straight into Rinn's eyes. They felt like they were on fire, he went to the ground in pain and his plants quickly withered. Takada took out a shuriken and held it at Rinn's neck. When the light receded, all he saw was a plant shaped like Rinn.
Takada: Shit.
Rinn was just out of reach from Takada, and he looked in his bag, searching for seeds.
Rinn: Yo, I'm out of extras. I need the rest for missions and shit. Taijutsu only?
Takada: Deal. Neither of us are trained in it anyways...
Rinn smiled and threw up a kick at Takada, who blocked it rather easily. Takada then grabbed Rinn's leg and pulled him in, punching him in the face. Rinn, not to be outdone, punched Takada right back in the face while he was close enough too. Being older and stronger, Rinn was freed from Takada's trap and he set back up into his fighting stance.
Takada: I didn't want to show you my true fighting style, but if I must...
Rinn smiled and charged at Takada again, but this time, Takada parried and circled around to Rinn's back, punching his kidney. Rinn grimced, but turned around, trying to land a backfist, but Takada wasn't there. Rinn saw him crounched, ducking perfectly under the backfist, ready to punch. Takada then sprang up, hitting Rinn in the process and knocking the wind out of him.
Takada: We done here?
Rinn: Not quite.
Rinn ran up the wall and launched himself at Takada, who managed to dodge it in the last second. Rinn knew this was coming however, and got off a spin kick right after touching the ground, landing it right in Takada's ribs.
Takada: Alright, that's it.
Takada grabbed Rinn's leg and started pounding on Rinn's knee, almost breaking it, then using it to hold Rinn in submission. Rinn was trapped facedown now.
Rinn: Damnit. You win. Now let me off the ground...
Takada: Deal.
They were both out of breath, but Takada seemed really exhausted. Right after Rinn stood up, Takada fell to the ground. A Shiroinin messenger then walked in the cafeteria.
Messenger: What the hell happened here?
Rinn: Nothing...we were just sparring...I dunno why he got so tired though.
Messenger: It's a secret Shiroinin technique to help us with Taijutsu. Basically, he moved his chakra centers to his limbs, allowing him to dodge attacks extremely easily and get behind his opponents. It takes a huge chakra toll on the body though.
Rinn: Interesting...Almost like the Drunken Fist Style...
Messenger: Yes. It is interesting indeed. He is one of the only ones in our clan able to use it. Now, your presences are required for a Master Lee. Just follow me.
Rinn picked up Takada, sighed, and followed the Messenger.
Rinn: Today is going to be a VERY long day...
