Kuria (Mars) vs Isei (Nas)

Kuria

Spoiler: show

Isei stood over a rocky bluff, his eyes focused on what appeared to be a person below on the rocks. No - a child. He debated just leaving it alone, but then again, he was looking for a smaller target. He had grumbled and mumbled about having to hunt some kid, but the Yugure had decided it was his turn. Reluctantly, he grabbed hold of his sheathed katana with his left hand and held his right hand towards the dark skies. Lightning struck his hand as he blinked, supplementing his chakra with electric power. When he looked back towards where the kid had been, he was gone. Isei’s brow furrowed. He looked around, but his target was nowhere to be found.

Just as he was about to give up the short-lived pursuit, Isei felt a presence approaching rapidly to his left. The crackling lightning chakra spurred him into action; he turned towards the challenger and crouched. Both hands now rested on the hilt of his blade. His eyes barely had enough time to adjust before the attack came. Isei made an attempt to draw and slice in one motion, but his assailant was too quick and the strike missed. He was, however, able to duck his head in time for the kick to fly over where it used to be. He could now confirm it was his target. Isei knew it would take some time for the kid to turn and redirect his - WHAM!

Kuria had landed a direct overhead kick. His new Wind Wall Jutsu had paid off. He had conjured one directly behind Isei; it came in useful to bounce off when his initial attack inevitably missed.
“No time to be wasted, old man.” Kuria said with a grin. Isei scoffed and hopped a few feet back.
“I’m not even that old…”
“Yeah? Well, you move like my grandpa.” Kuria laughed and charged, bare-fisted. He hadn’t actually brought his sword along to the beach. To be fair, he hadn’t expected to find Sloth of Katakiuchi, either. An initial right kick was blocked by Isei’s forearm, his own right arm blazing into a ball of lightning as it shot forward. Kuria’s eyes widened as the lightning followed him despite several backflips.
“Dangerous, that is. Didn’t your mother teach you to be careful with dangerous toys?” He had finally come to a halt, and so had Isei’s jutsu.
“Got quite the mouth, kid. Didn’t your mother teach you to shut the fuck up?” Isei wasn’t about to deal with some twelve year old taunting him.

Isei retracted his lightning beam, electing to throw it directly at Kuria instead of using it as a melee weapon. Several smaller balls of lightning flew from Isei’s source. Kuria dodged to the right, unable to see that his adversary had charged him. The following katana slice whiffed just barely, cutting a few hairs from Kuria’s head. Kuria followed up with an elbow to Isei’s stomach. It connected, causing Isei to stumbled a few feet backwards. He was prepared for the next strike, however. His lightning reflexes blocked an incoming right punch, and in no time, a right kick carried by the momentum created by the punch.

Kuria continued the motion of his attacks, spinning past Isei. He immediately drew a kunai and lunged back towards Isei’s midriff. Both shinobi stopped. Kuria looked at the situation he was in. His kunai was millimeters away from Isei’s stomach, and Isei’s katana millimeters from his neck.
“This is awkward.” Kuria stated the obvious. Isei grunted in agreement. They both looked from the weapons facing them to their enemy’s eyes repeatedly. Suddenly, both jumped away. Isei grinned, and lightning imbued further into his chakra. It was physically visible now, sparks jumping out from parts of his skin.

Kuria’s pleasant disposition changed little as Isei’s speed ramped up. He landed a solid punch, almost too quick for Kuria to notice. He didn’t react, but instead let the punch hit. A small amount of blood came out, but it didn’t stop Kuria from returning the favor, twice as powerful. Isei’s body itself moved as a result of the blow to his face. He landed on his feet, but staggered up to a full stance. He felt like an idiot, punching a kid only to get punched harder back. He frowned and looked back to Kuria. The kid just stood there, a grin on his face. Isei immediately began forming hand seals. Kuria’s eyebrow raised in curiosity.

“Water Style: Stampede!” Isei gathered his breath and blew wolves, tigers, birds, bulls and even a dragon towards Kuria. He followed it up with two water clones. He sent one clone to run with the pack of animals, and had the other throw him over the top of the stampede. Clandestinely, he formed the hand signs for a Water Meld Jutsu. As it was ready, he reached the range of Kuria, who was preoccupied with a side flip over an angry bull. He sliced with his katana lazily, easily missing and falling prey to Kuria’s returned kunai. The Water Meld Jutsu activated, sending him to the ground in a shower of water. As planned, Kuria thought nothing of it while he continued to slice and dice through the stampede.

Without delay, Isei’s two clones tag teamed Kuria. More puddles had occupied the ground where the stampede had been stopped. Isei watched as his clones threw punches at an increasingly speedy Kuria. His attention peaked when one clone grabbed hold of his arm, prompting the other clone to attempt the same with the other arm. Kuria’s kunai suddenly vibed with wind chakra, creating a lengthened blade. The second clone stood no chance, it splashed onto the ground, leaving only the one grappling Kuria’s left arm. He turned the blade around, prepared to strike.
“I had fun. Won't be seeing you anytime soon, though.” Kuria plunged the blade into the clone. A look of surprise overtook his face when it became of puddle of water as well.
It was too late for him to move; Isei was barely a meter away, poised to strike. Kuria did what he could; summon. Isei’s katana cut deep into an eagle. Kuria twisted as quick as he could, trying to land a blow with his wind blade before Isei created distance. He could feel the resistance as the sword hit something.

The avian shrieked in pain as Isei’s katana sliced through its back. Meanwhile, Kuria’s blade had sawed halfway through Isei’s forearm. It took all of his will to not let out a scream. He let go of his katana and leapt backwards. His breathing became ragged and he grabbed near where he was cut with his left hand. Kuria wasted no time on the offense. He dashed straight to Isei only to receive a surprisingly quick kick to the stomach. Isei immediately held his good hand up to the sky. Thunder began to rumble above. Kuria knew he had to stop whatever was happening, so he charged back in again. Isei vaulted over the incoming kid, keeping his hand held to the sky. As his back brushed against Kuria’s hair, lightning struck.

Kuria had planted another Wind Wall, bouncing off it only to face a prepared Isei. He was bloodied - his right arm hung at his side, unresponsive. His left arm exploded with lightning, focused at his hand. The look of insanity was finished with a kunai firmly in his mouth.
“The same trick as last time?” Kuria yelled as they neared; wind blade in his hand, chidori in Isei’s. Before Kuria could get within striking range, the chidori intensified, expanding outwards. He had no choice other than to try and block it with his wind blade. The battling chakras flung him back, his blade fizzling into non existence.

Isei believed he had won. Kuria had been sent flying, his sword had been fried. There's no way he could get up afte - a presence blew into his mind. During his flight, Kuria had thrown open four gates in rapid succession. He groaned and jumped back over towards his katana. It was blood coated, but it would still work. He turned back towards Kuria. He had one eye closed and his clothes were torn in several places. Isei knew there was no way the chidori had no effect on him. He looked down towards his right arm. It was messily wrapped in some cloth torn from his hands.

Before he looked up, Kuria was directly in front of him. He landed a solid punch to the stomach and positioned himself for a kick to the head. Isei threw up his good arm, charged with lightning. It stopped Kuria’s kick and gave him a bit of a zap, but the kid himself was still rampaging.
“You'll fry your arm if you keep using it like that.” Isei couldn't even make out where Kuria was, but he could still hear his taunts. Then he felt it. Closing in quickly from behind. He quickly swung around, pointing his sword towards the attacker. Kuria’s kick was deterred for a second, causing him to flip upwards, grabbing the top of Isei’s robe as he went.

Unexpectedly, the robe came off instead of bringing Isei with it. Kuria’s eyes widened when he saw the inside coated with paper bombs. He tried to toss it to the side, but they exploded before he could make much distance from it. It threw him to the side. As he tumbled on the ground, Isei dashed with his katana prepared to strike. Kuria came to a stop as the blade came slicing towards him. He rolled to the side and kicked upwards with both feet. It looked like they hit, but instead they went straight through Isei. He immediately recognized the genjutsu, but it was too late. The real Isei had been furiously weaving hand signs for the past twenty seconds.

“Lightning Style: Forbidden Heavenly Smite!” The clouds above Kuria swirled as lightning jumped. He quickly moved to his feet, but it was too late. Thousands of lightning bolts coalesced into a large pillar of energy. It shot towards Kuria faster than the eye could see. Isei covered his eyes with his left arm as his attack pounded the ground, sending debris in all directions. Isei grinned. This battle was over. He tried to move, but intense pain rippled through his body. He looked down.

Kuria had punched clean through his stomach. There was something different about him, though. He had at least seven gates open; maybe he had made the ultimate sacrifice and activated the last one. Isei couldn't see - his vision was fading. He collapsed to the ground as everything went black.
