(Amen)
Lee was hurled back a short distance by the explosion, but had twisted away enough that he only was hit with the concussive wave after the blast and wasnt burnt at all. "You are good, Minako-san. But I am better. Your Youthful spirit is no match for mine! I am Rock Lee, taijutsu extraordinare! I will show you how close-ranged fighting is meant to be done!"
Quickly moving after the girl, he threw several punches at vital joints; shoulders, elbows, waist, and also a kick or two at her knees. Lee excelled at fast combat; he intended to barrage Minako with taijutsu combinations and not give her a moment's rest. Eventually she'd go down.
Moving quickly as he could with his ankle-weights still on, Lee leapt above Minako, planting his foot on her back and using it to launch himself a short distance away so he could recover, and hopefully send Minako's face into the concrete arena.

Rock Lee began his barrage toward Minako.Here goes nothing. As soon as the first kick was sent, Minako threw a smoke bomb on the ground to cover herself and Rock Lee in the smoke. Again she used the body flicker motion to move away from Lee's attacks. Minako set to work, laying explosive tags on the surrounding floor, masked by the smoke, and a covering teqnique so Lee couldn't see them. Step on one of these and you're dead. Minako thought. She began to prepare for heer next attack by drawing up some kunais in her hand with explosive tags on them. Come get some! Minako challenged in her head.

Lee coughed before leaping away from the massive ball of smoke. He landed clear on the other side of the room, in a corner so that Minako couldnt come at him from behind. As smoke cleared, he saw Minako standing with kunai that had small tags attached.
[She uses tools... those are explosion tags! And no doubt she'd set traps while the smoke covered everything.] He couldnt see wires, kunai, or any kind of weapon, but he knew many jutsu existed for covering those things up. The only thing he could do was.... thats it! He'd watch where Minako stood; she wouldnt go near her own trap. If he stayed in areas that she stood in, he'd be fine.
As he came to this decision, Lee quickly tugged off his ankle weights, trying to lighten his load for the large leaps he'd need to use. He hurled the weights off the arena, where they hit a wall and went several feet into the concrete, causing a large explosion of dust and rock. Looking across the arena at his waiting opponent, he grinned. "Now I can move much more easily! I'm just sad that you forced me to do this in order to avoid your traps. I know you've set some, too, I'm not that dumb."
Leaping mightily, he came down right in front of Minako in less than a second, already moving into a powerful punch that put his body weight and the momentum of his leap behind it. He was trying to get a ring-out or knockout, or launch Minako into one of her invisible traps. He took care to keep his feet within two feet or so of where the other Genin stood, so that he wouldnt accidentally set something into motion.

All too suddenly Rock Lee appeared behind her and punched at her. Minako wasn't able to dodge it. She was sailing throught the air, when Minako turned to smoke. Minako didn't know what to expect from Rock Lee when she set the traps, so she cloned herself to avoid injury. The real Minako appeared from the shadows by using a shadowing technique. Instantly she launched herself into the air with her kunai's and explosive tags. She performed her hands seals quickly, and sent her kunais flying in the air. A still silence happened, then it literally erupted when the kunais exploded sending thousands of firey needles raining from the sky. When Minako hit the ground, she took four kunais and hit her traps with them, instantly they exploded, being near her traps, Rock Lee wouldn't be able to avoid all the eruptions going on around him.

[What in the Kami?] Lee could only watch in amazement as Minako disappeared. The next thing he knew, senbon were flying at him and explosions started to go off.
Thinking quickly, he went the only way he could in order to dodge the explosions; up. As he leapt, he removed his orange arm and ankle socks and used them to capture many of the senbon that flew towards him, although a few still lodged in his arms and suit. He attached his sandals to the cieling and quickly removed several of the needles, before leaping back to the ground.
Looking at his opponent, he shifted back into his defensive stance. "Minako, you have proven yourself as a powerful ninja. I respect your Youthful attitude! Now, show me what you are made of! Come at me with everything you have!"

(Its not that powerful an attack, even after doing that super two headed wolf attack Kiba still had the strength to fight. Bloodline? You mean muscle mass inhancement, please that didn't even bother to think about it ) The clones all hit, since they were all merely illusions anyways there was no point in the inhanced muscles or Gatsûga's. They were merely distractions, in a poof of smoke non were left except the real Kiba and Akamaru. The two jumped back after seeing the that Kobu had once again used the clone techninque, "Come up with some originality, nto the same thing as me", Kiba said thinking of what to try next.
As Kobu formed his clones, Kiba also formed clones of his own. He had all of them position them selves around the clones and Kobu, then he had all of them once again strike from all sides. This time he let a full barrage only leting a few stay behind, but put at least one of them on either side of the massacre.

(Your underestimating, If you cared to read the thing it gives me increased Chakra, energy, strength, and speed...)
Kobu smirked at his comment, passing it off. The clones immediatly dissappated...leaving only Kobu. "Enough tricks, Let's see if you can handle this, one on one." Kobu let out, administering a circular slash that eliminated all of the striking clones. He dealt out a sharp kick to the chest to another, swerving as he attempted to catch the last one...or what he assumed was the real kiba with a slash to the knee. His attacks were supercharged, and one taijutsu attack would send the real Kiba flying...even if he blocked it.
With a bolt, Kobu flickered to Kiba's side, trying to smash the hilt of the blade into his mid stomach as he attempted to knee the Inuzuka in the chin. atempting to launch himself off of Kiba's chest, he rushed forward, spiraling outward as he landed hard behind the Wild Genin. "This is getting boring..." Kobu let out, trying to slam an enhanced fist into Kiba's face. The force in every single one of his blows was enough to render him unconcious of it landed in their intended postion. And the series of attacks was dealt out in a manner that advanced forward, incase Kiba dashed backwards. The sequence was done at enough speed to prevent dodging on a large scale.
He breathed in deeply, the familiar smell of battle fresh. Adrenaline coursed, and Kobu remained constantly alrert. He attempted to grab one of the Kiba's by the scruff of his Jacket, after an attempted elimination all of the clones...it was either Kiba or Akamaru. Glaring into his eyes he lifted him upward, using that disconcerning strenght and speed to overwhelm him. Currently, in close combat...Kobu couldn't be matched, for he had the speed, energy, and strength to deal with most attacks that Kiba dished out. With a mighty thrust, he attempted to throw the beast downward, smashing his back into the ground. With a quick jerk, Kobu tried to lunge him to the side with enough strength to heave him out of the Arena.
Kobu waited to let the damage of his attacks unveil, barely a trickle of sweat running down his forehead...as his bloodline gave him a reknewable stream of chakra and energy that coursed through his veins.

Hearing Lee's challenge Minako smirked. "Okay, but remember you asked for it!" Minako remembered the first day this task was assigned to her. Kaji-sensei had asked her and her teammates to try to learn a special teqnique. Minako had worked endless hours to perfect it. Even then it had only worked just barely. Now Minako was confident she could do it. Performing the handsigns, Minako stood still and focused in hard on Lee. Chakra spouted around her, turning to a black color, like a shadow. Her shadow chakra expanded until the entire ring was shrouded in her seal. Minako could see everything clearly. However, Rock Lee couldn't seen her, his surroundings, nothing but his own body. Minako was free to roam around the shadows without him knowing. "There is no escape, you can move, but you will never see me, you can move but you might step out of the lines, only I truely know where you are." Minako's voice echoed around the expanse of darkness, this way Lee couldn't pin point her location. Here Minako could move as fast as she wanted. Her movement was basically unlimited once she perfected the attack. Moving as fast as the shadows would let her, she hurtled kunai and shuriken, some strapped with explosives. She continued to do this. Only I can get us out of here Minako thought.

[Genjutsu!] The very thing Lee hoped to avoid. The only two ways he could stop genjutsu were by opening his Hachimon or finding a way to fight regardless of its effect. In this case, he decided to opt for the latter and closed his eyes in order to sharpen his other senses.
A whistle off to his right caught his attention, and he dashed forwards, hearing the dinging noises of metal hitting concrete, followed by a massive explosion that he heard, felt, and smelled, but didnt see. Moving as fast as he could while making sure he didnt fall off the arena, he raced in the direction that the projectiles were heard coming from, aiming for a full-bodied charge in what he hoped was Minako's direction. Hopefully, by hitting his opponent, her concentration would break and he'd be freed of this odd darkness in which he could only see himself and nothing else.

Kobu's attacks were to no avail, Kiba had swapped places at the last second with on of his clones, something had to be done about this situation.
Now that Kobu had wiped out most of his clones, he now had only a few options. Knowing that Kobu's speed had once again increased Kiba had no other choice, if that bloodline allowed him to fight continuously for days then he would have to do the same. He reached into his back pouch and pulled out three things, two soldier pills and a smoke bomb. He gave a pill to the Kiba beside him and ate the other one himself, he then through the smoke bomb toward the area around Kobu.
With the soldier pill giving Kiba a burst of strength, speed, and energy, he hoped that he would now be as fast and strong as Kobu. The real Kiba and a few clones then dashed out into the smoke, so even if he could see them he would have to stay and fight. This would give Kiba an opportunity to fight at close range and use the trick he had in store.

Something told Kobu to remain on the defensive for now, and he backed out of the smoke towards the other side of the arena. In case he was in trouble, he still had a few rocks in his pocket. And during his previous Taijutsu combos, he had scattered a few rocks onto the arena floor. There were now 5 rocks scattered throughout the arena, all to which Kobu had the opportunity to body replace with. Kiba probalby woulnd't notice them either...they were somewhat small in size.
He remained stoic, planning on unleashing the A-rank Jutsu that Einishi had taught him once he saw an opening...that would turn the arena into a blazing inferno...no doubt.

Kobu had fallen for it, Kiba did not see Kobu drop the rocks but they still had his sent on them, so Kiba had Akamaru stay out of the barrage. As the battling in the smoke occured Akamaru had collected all of the rocks and thrown them once again out of the raised platform.
Something was wrong Akamaru smelled the emense amount of chakra level in the genin, he was up to something. Akamaru let out a growl warning Kiba to get out of there, Kiba took advantage of this and left, leaving his clones behind. They both stared out at the genin wondering what kind of jutsu he was preparing?

(Let it begin.)
"Ashita Hokori, pleasure to meet you," monotoned the Sand Genin, pulling a summoning scroll from the back of her black overtunic. Her eyes took in every detail of Kazuma, resting on the sword before meeting his gaze. This could be interesting. She knew nothing about him, but he could know everything about her. Hopefully not. A few quick gestures and the scroll was flung at Hokori's opponent, morphing into a massive 4' by 8' sandbag moving at the same speed.
"Anei," she whispered, tumbling backwards and away from him, mask cracking a little to let her anger out.

"Sand?" he thought to himself since hes never see anyone fight with sand before. His hand went on his main kodachi pulling it out a bit. Excitement was in the young demon's eyes. He enjoyed to fight more than anything and hopefully he would put a good enough show in order to become a chuunin.
"Time for the first move!," he yelled out and dashed at her making it look as if he was going straight at her but all of a sudden two shadow clones came from behind. Both sending a kick at her back to knock her forward. If they were successful Kazuma would head in for a punch to her face.

(You do understand, I HATE magical from nowhere shadow clones, right?)
Hokori frowned, planting her feet and going through the motions for the Sand Body Flicker, engulfing the three attackers in a minature sandstorm and reappearing at the far corner of the ring with a summoning scroll in hand. "Two," she growled, flinging the scroll at a pair of attackers, and morphing it into a second sand bag seconds before impact. Her eyes narrowed, taking up a guarded stance. She would not lose. No, she would not...
