Curiousity's A Bitch (Tag:Kenta)

[Ohgr Konoko]

Just as the letter had requested the other day in the ramen bar, Ohgr found himself at the outdoor training facilities. He arrived on time as had been asked of him, and now he was beginning to wonder where that mouthy customer was. Ohgr scowled and leaned against a tree in the shade so he did not bake in the heat of the sun. His pale skin was rather sensative to such things and so he generally tried to avoid it whenever possible.

"Go figure. The guy tells me to meet him here at this specific time and he's the one who's late," Ohgr grumbled in irritation. He had just gotten off another shift at the ramen bar and so he was in no mood to be waiting around. He had hastily changed into airy clothes to make sure he was not late, and not running around in his uniform. Ohgr looked a little sloppy but that was no big deal considering that appearance would not matter during a training session, which he assumed that he had been asked to come here for a spar.

Ohgr settled on the grass, looking miserable and depressed as usual. Waiting with as much patience as someone with as many problems as himself could wait with, fidgetting the entire time to try and keep himself occupied during the wait.

[Kenta]

Kenta kept his eyes closed while proceeding towards the Training Area. He wanted to see how well his hearing abilities would carry him to the area he needed to be. He wore his sheath as regular, not wanting to give his appearance away to a stranger. As he continued towards the Outdoor Training Facility, he wondered if that cheerful employee would be there, but he didn't linger on the thought to much as he made his way into a deep forest.

'I may be a little late, but it wouldn't kill him to wait.' Kenta entered the forest, thinking it was the best way to train his hearing. The cluster of trees in the forest shaded any sunlight from entering the area. It was as if the forest had a setting of night constantly. The trees were tall, and etched with small holes from either animals, or someone training within the forest. Maybe other shinobi came to test their strength?

Kenta ran full speed through the cluster of trees, listening for any noise that he could use to his advantage. 'Come out of the forest without bumping into anything is my goal.' Kenta grinned as he seemed to hear a wood pecker on a tree not to far ahead of him. He easily shifted his direction to keep from hitting the tree. This training seemed to get old as he continued through the forest, and decided it would be best to get out of the forest quite quickly.

Kenta quickly found his way out by following the sounds of people outside of the forest. 'I better get to that Training Facility. I was the one who proposed the idea.' Kenta quickly began running towards the Training Facility. He felt the breeze of rushing come to him as he dashed through the area. The sudden breeze threw the boy's sheath backwards, revealing his black and white camo shorts. The wrappings around his legs were also visible due to the sheaths fluttering.

As he neared the training area he began to slow down. His sheath quickly fell back into place, not revealing a thing. His gray hair glimmered in the sun as he neared the ramen shop employee. He kept his eyes closed, and quickly got to the point of things that he wanted know. Even though he didn't really know the guy, Kenta knew the employee wasn't as worthless as he thought. "Here a bit early I see." Kenta said, knowing he was the one that was late.

"Anyway, you may be wondering why I've asked you here." Kenta paused for a moment, making sure he had the boy's attention. He slowly opened his eyes, revealing the life less grey pupils. "Well as you can tell by your surroundings I wanted a little sparring match." Kenta spoke with calmness in his voice, not showing that he was a little excited. "But first I guess I will introduce myself." Kenta stared at the employee. "I'm Kenta, of the Murkami Clan."

Kenta also wanted to ask of the slave trade that the employee mentioned in the shop, but he decided to first get acquainted with him. At least until Kenta knew for certain that he had the boy's trust. "Well, what's yours?" Kenta asked wanting to know the boy's name

[Ohgr Konoko]

Ohgr heard his opponent fast approaching and he looked up to make sure it was the one he had been waiting for. Seeing the crouchy customer from before, his gaze fell upon the student. His eyes stating that he was a little annoyed with having come on time when Kenta was late himself.

Ohgr stood up in the shade and brushed off his torn shorts as though the poor quality clothing needed to be saved as best as possible before he really acknowledged the others presence.

"I'm not early. You're just late," Ohgr responded in annoyance. Looking at the cloaked figure of the customer from before. There was no difference in appearance and Ohgr was a little curious on the boys abilities for sure. He crossed his arms over his chest and waited for an explination on the lateness. Instead of apology or explination, he got an introduction.

"Ohgr Konoko... Of no background worth mentioning," Ohgr responded in introduction of himself. It was mere politeness in his eyes. Not really neccessity at all if they were just going to spar. Which they were, as he had guessed. "This doesn't have anything to do with my outburst at the Oto Raman Shop does it?" Ohgr asked suspiciously.

[Kenta]

'Ohgr Konoko. What kind of name is Ohgr?' Kenta repeated the name in his mind, but didn't know what was wrong with the first name of his. 'And his past must have been bad. When he mentioned something of a slave trade yesterday, it must have been tough for him.' "No, this doesn't have anything to do with the Ramen Shop. I do understand that 'all of us have off days.' " Kenta directly quoted the boy from the day before. Kenta observed the boy a bit more.

"You are a shinobi, but of what rank?" Kenta asked bluntly. He didn't want to beat around the bush with his questions and wanted things straight to the point. "Reason I asked is you appear to be quite older than a Genin. Maybe a Chuunin?" Kenta kept his expressioin calm lain on his face. He stared Ohgr directly in the eyes. Kenta definatly had a few more questions for the boy, but he figured that the one he just asked would be the last. He wanted the sparring match to begin as soon as possible.

[Ohgr Konoko]

Ohgr smirked slightly when Kenta quoted him exactly from the day before, not that it was a hard quote to remember. He nodded in agreeance that Kenta had acknowledged that and seemed to relax a little more. Apparently he took comfort in things when people agreed with him. He pulled at the torn shorts as though trying to keep them lower then his knees. In reality, he was trying to hide the long barcode that was tattooed down his leg.

"Yes, we do. Unfortunatly I have more off days then good ones. But I am sorry if I offended you or angered you. Sometimes I just can't control my own temper," Ohgr would give him that much at least. Really, as a customer, he had all right to complain about a grouchy cashier. Ohgr decided he would try and make sure he was in the kitchen from now on if he was having a bad day.

Ohgr smirked at the assumption of his age having to do with his rank and he gave Kenta a feral grin. "True enough I am older then is normal to be of lower rank. But I only joined the academy last year because I've not lived in Oto very long," Ohgr started, looking slightly ashamed of his low ranked as he ran his fingers through his thick black mess of tangled hair. "I'm actually only a genin. But that's only because I've not been a shinobi here long enough to have participated in the exams or to have acheived higher rank," Ohgr seemed to think it was important to get that across. He did not want Kenta to think he was some failure of a ninja that could not gain a rank higher then genin after all.

'Mind if he underestimates me, then I suppose that could work out to my advange in the end anyways,' it was to late to take back what he had said though. Regardless Ohgr still desired some amount of respect so he supposed it was one or the other anyways.

[Kenta]

"Don't worry about yesterday, it wasn't as bad as you thought." Kenta nodded after he said that, letting the boy know it was okay. 'So he isn't one of the Genin that has been around for a while. He's only a rookie, but maybe he's better than the average rookie.' "Don't worry about your age either. I've been a Genin for what's about to be two years. About to be put on my second team and all." Kenta closed his eyes, now full of anticipation, awaiting the sparring match.

"But that's enough talk, let's start the match shall we?" Kenta kept his eyes closed, which may have seemed strange to the one's that didn't know of the Murkami Clan's battle tatics. He stood in a defensive stance that would better help him dodge on-comming attacks. His ears would be help throughout this battle, and he probably would get stronger off of this opponent. "Anytime your ready." Kenta urgered the boy to make the first move.

His face was as expressionless as ever. He only kept his attention on his ears, not worrying about his surrounings. He would listen out for any movement as he stood in his stance. 'I hope this guy is as good as I think. He may prove a challenge, so I will have to stay on the defensive untill I figure out his fighting style.' As a small breeze blew Kenta's hair swayed. His gray hair glimmered with a white sheen as he stood waiting for Ohgr's moves.

[Ohgr Konoko]

Ohgr frowned at the way his opponent closed his eyes, it must be a fighting technique to do with sound. In this village, nothing seemed unusual or out of the question and Ohgr had already detained from earlier that this one had exeptional hearing. He grinned mentally, his own technique, which consisted of twisting sound waves into agonizing lengthes using his voice, should be more effective then. He'd be able to hit higher pitches that most ears could not hear, such as the sound that annoys dogs and still create damage. Now he had a goal, temporary deafening his opponent.

First however, he was curious to see how well Kenta faught with his eyes closed, relying on sound to guide him in battle would not always work. For instance, if a tree made no noise because there was no wind. Ohgr sniggered at the thought of it, not out loud of course, he'd not want Kenta to think that Ohgr was not being serious.

Personally, the vocalist hated attacking first because charging just never felt effective and he had yet to really learn alternate motives to attacking, even throwing shuriken or kunai lead to charging. Ohgr shruggled mentally as his body hunched over in hs fighting style, a strange combination of tiger and drunken.

Ohgr charged foreward at the guy, drawing a kunai in each hand as he went and lashing out for the guy in a straight forward mauneveur that was actually meant to be a feint to the left. He needed to wait for the moment Kenta moved so that he could perform his feint attack and switch over to a kidney shot, which was his reach goal.

[Kenta]

Kenta tried most to concentrate on the thing that was most important, his opponent. He heard other sounds of the environment, but he put most of his focus on Ohgr. 'I'm ready.' He listened out for the movements of his opponent. He could hear Ohgr start to shift; Kenta was able to fully predict where Ohgr was currently. Kenta didn't make a movement when he heard the rapid footsteps approaching. 'Here he comes.' Kenta could hear the piercing sound of the metal kunai as Ohgr drew them in each hand. 'Drawing weapons so early.' A small grin drew across Kenta's face as he listened to the motion.

When Ohgr was near enough Kenta began to concentrate his chakra into his hands. It took little to no time since he was a veteran using the technique. He had much practice over the last year that he was Genin. Kenta made sure to listen to Ohgr's movements so he could easily pinpoint where to aim the attack. He then tries to slam air into Ohgr's ears before he could deliver his kunai attack. ' My Deafen Jutsu should work nicely here.' Kenta would try to knock Ohgr off balance, maybe long enough for a follow- up attack.


~~~OOC~~~
Name: Deafen
Type: Supplementary
Description: Chakra is used to slam air into the target’s ear drums causing them to lose their balance, target has troubles moving around. [This causes no damage.]

[Ohgr Konoko]

Ohgr had not been expecting that, the air slammed into his ears and he let out a small grunt of pain as his ears popped. But the action made him light headed and slightly dizzy. The rookie genin swayed on his feet, but in the end it did not matter anyways, since his prefered style of fighting was drunken, it only enhanced his abilities in the battle.

A grin came to Ohgr's face as he allowed himself to wobble with the dizzyness. His body started to fall one way, and then another, but Ohgr kept his mind as clear as it could be despite the slight bother. His weapons had fallen out of his hands from the initial surprise but on a wobble back, Ohgr used the momentum caused by his foreward dizzy wobble to drive it into an uppercut. At the same time his fist went up, his body dropped lower with the dizzyness of Kenta's technique, but a well schooled user of drunken fighting did not allow the upward uppercut to loose any of it's push despite his body's downward falling.

[Kenta]

Kenta grinned as his jutsu began to work. He kept his eyes closed, but he could hear a slight grunt that escaped Ohgr's mouth. Kenta used his ears to listen to the movements of the boy. 'He's begining to sway and stumble or what not. This could be a problem for him.' A light smirk spread across Kenta's face as he used his sonar to look at Ohgr.

Kenta could hear changes in the air as Ohgr swayed this way and that due to the effects of his jutsu. His weapons were also gone, which what Kenta was hoping would happen. Kenta could hear the boy wobble on over to himself. 'He's still able to attack. With the effects of my jutsu I'm surprised at this.' Kenta could hear a major difference in the air as Ohgr quickly aimed an uppercut towards Kenta.

The punch connected with Kenta's chin, making him fly upwards a little. As Kenta flew he could feel the pain on his chin surgering, like an annoying habbit. Kenta didn't let the punch effect him for long as he opened his eyes and did two back flips while in the air. The first back flip was to regain his composure. He did the second flip while still in the air to cover his movements. He pulled out four kunai and four shuriken during the filp from under his sheath where they were hidden. He was hoping the flip would cover his movements from Ohgr's view.

'Here we go dad.' Kenta threw each kunai and shuriken, one by one, towards Ohgr. He first threw a kunai, then shuriken, then kunai, in that order untill he threw each of them. All the kunai and shuriken were aimed in one place, towards Ohgr's right arm. Kenta knew the boy would dodge it with him taking advantage of Kenta's Deafen jutsu. As Kenta threw the kunai and shuriken he attached his ninja wire to each one. Kenta's advanced hearing would be a great advantage using this technique.

After throwing the weapons Kenta zipped through a few hand seals, he then closed his eyes, waiting for Ohgr to make his move.

[Ohgr Konoko]

Ohgr grinned when he felt his punch connect with Kenta's jaw, pleased with the feeling of impacting. He always loved that feeling, it sent thrills up and down his spine at the pleasure of a move well done. For now, Ohgr did not want to use his jutsu, as of the moment he did not have very many and he would have rather not shared his secrets to the world in a simply sparring match. This guy he was sparring seemed to be willing to pull out all the stops.

When the attack of weaponry went flying at him, Ohgr did not even attempt to knock the blades out of the way, instead he did the simplist of things. He allowed the dizzyness from the ear pressure technique of before to take over and he simply fell over. The weaponry easily missed him and Ohgr caught a last second glimpse of the ninja wire on them. Wonder what on earth Kenta could acheive with that when the weapons had leanded harmless beside him. They could not even be pulled back, nor was he entangled.

He decided that he did not want to wait and find out, Ohgr kicked his legs up and landed on his feet. He saw more hand seals. It really did seem that this guy wanted to win and badly. Ohgr was never one to showcase his abilities, he just like to play, so he did not really mind. The guy could have the win. This was simple game.

It seemed he was to late however, the handseals were already completed.
