Old vs New - Glorious Two on One!

”What?” was all the old man could say, looking confused, before the boy launched a kunai at him, before jumping off. Raising his cane, the man blocked the kunai before letting off a smirk. So the kid wanted to fight, now did he? Well, then he would give him a fight to remember. Forming a snake seal, the man was raised into the air and zoomed over to the edge of the building, where he saw Takeo latched to the side.

”If it's a fight you want, a fight you shall get. Don't hold back because I'm an old man!” Hazama chuckled, before letting go of his cane, which dropped towards the ground, before he formed seals and took a deep breath. ”Katon: Housenka no Jutsu!” he said, as he exhaled a barrage of flaming fireballs at the younger ninja.

As the flames was redirected, the Shougun zoomed higher into the air, avoiding the flames, watching as Takeo moved up as well, before flinging a blast of cutting wind at him. Forming a set of seals, Hazama spat out a mass of mud, which quickly hardened into a large wall in mid-air. ”Doton: Doryuuheki.”

The blades of wind blasted agaisnt the wall, taking off small chips, but never breaking through. Then, as the wall was about to fall, the Shougun grabbed onto it, lightened its weight and raised it above his head, before launching at the younger ninja.

As the wall of earth crashed into the top of the building, the old man held his attention close to the younger ninja, who launched a fireball from his mouth, which azlmost doubled in size as he waved his fan. It would be next to impossible to avoid. Instead, the man covered himself in chakra and began spinning in place, creating a swirling sphere of chakra around him. Soon, he was enveloped in flames, but no scream were heard, and eventually the flames died out.

A piece of burnt cloth flew towards the ground, and the man's inner outfit was revealed. Covering his body was several plates of metal, placed on his chest, arms and legs. Underneath was a black shinobi yoroi, which again covered a metallic mesh.

”A good move, Takeo,” the old man said with pride in his voice. He then retracted his arm, before thrusting it forward, releasing a shell of compressed chakra. ”Hakke Kuushou!” he roared, before he zoomed in closer, releasing another shell while moving to keep Takeo on his defences. Then, as he came close, he attempted to land a Juuken strike...

The Shogun landed on the ground after launching his Juuken attack, which was blocked by the younger ninja's Gunbai. He then placed himself in a ready stance, just as Takeo looked up, their eyes meeting. Seconds later, a tree had locked the old man into place. What is this...? the man thought to himself, as he activated his Byakugan. As I thought... Genjutsu.

Just then, Takeo fired two kunai past the man, following up with preparing to fire two directly at him. However, by then, the Hokage had already broken the Genjutsu by creating a disturbance in his own chakra. Twisting his body and bending backwards, he avoided the two kunai fired at him, just as the younger ninja switched position. However, with the Byakugan activated, there was no hiding.

Springing back into an upright position, the old man at the same time released a huge, double palmed attack, sending an immense blast of chakra at the ninja. ”Hakke Kuuhekishou.”

As the younger shinobi was blasted off the building by the Kuuhekishou, the old man followed, jumping off the roof, just as Takeo saved himself from falling. Racing through hand seals, the man took a deep breath before releasing an immense torrent of flames downwards.

”Katon! Gouka Messhitsu!” he said, as the flames left his mouth, flowing down the building towards Takeo. He then quickly made a second set of seals, before releasing several blades of wind from his mouth, which entered the fire and caused it to grow and move at an astounding rate. ”Fuuton! Shinkuu Renpa!”
