Law scratched his head as he began to think. "Sure i'm cool with it if she is." He said while forming some more hands signs as he inhaled deeply. He didn't feel like waiting for Naoko to say something since he was already pumped up, "Wind Release: Spiralling Wind Ball!" He said as he cuffed his hands near his mouth. He then shot three balls of wind, all three capable of blasting straight through thick and solid rock. He was aiming towards Lucario and then formed the same jtsu from before. “ Great Breakthrough” He said while sending another blast of wind towards Lucario. He wondered why Lucario wanted the two of them to double team him rather than every one for themselves. It didn't make much sense to him but that would mean that he was going to end up going one on one with Naoko, a Kunin ninja. Law had never fough against a kunin before. This was going to be fun. Law could barely hold in his excitement.

Naoko smiled to herself, slightly and briefly, when she saw Lucario dodge the volley of attacks that both she and Law had sent his way. "Not bad," She thought to herself. The young Genin showed some promise, though she was nowhere near saying such a thing out loud. No, for that to happen, the kid would have to do something truly remarkable. In the meantime, she would keep on fighting. She jumped backwards, tucking her knees to her chest and spinning twice before landing on the ground gracefully, almost like a cat. She still held her small staff in her hand, ready to utilize it if need be. She cocked an eyebrow in confusion when she heard Lucario say that he wanted both Naoko and Law to team up against him. "You're either incredibly brave or incredibly arrogant. Even if the two of us are holding back, do you really think you'll last more than a couple of minutes if both of us take you on?" She asked. However, she had no chance to hear a proper response before Law started launching his own attacks towards the young boy. No matter, if that was what Lucario wanted, it was what he would get. She watched as Law performed to sets of wind jutsu headed directly towards Lucario. He was getting a little bit too excited over the idea of fighting her one on one.

“Hey! You’re overdoing it!” She said, shaking her head slightly. Even so, Naoko wasn’t about to let herself be the only person standing on the sidelines. She took a deep breath. She pulled five kunai and threw them, three of them aimed at Lucario and two aimed at the ceiling above him. Instantly, she moved her hands quickly, forming the necessary handseals for her jutsu. “Housenka!” She yelled. She spat our five different balls of fire from her mouth, each covering one of the kunai completely. The two aimed at the ceiling were meant to cause a small part of it to collapse on Lucario once they hit it.

Spoiler:

"Well the reason I wanted to train was because I was looking to try out something I discovered about my-self." Lucario smiled and stood up straight and tapped his right toes against the ground and then did the same to the left. He knew it was no or never to try it out. He was going to be reaching his limit soon he could feel it. "Please let me pull this off." He thought. His hair and clothing began to blow back from the approaching attack making it seem that Lucario wasn't even going to try and avoid it.

Just as the the first Wind Release: Spiraling Wind Ball was about to hit him his whole body turned into a blurr and the attack had missed him. He appeared behind it standing like he hand't moved. "One." He began to count and closed his eyes trying to relax his body more. His eyes opened once more and just as the second Wind Release: Spiralling Wind Ball was about to hit him again his body image turned blurry and the attack missed. He appeared at the far edge of the room still seeming like he didn't move. It was looking like he was performing the body flicker technique but this was much faster and more efficient than the body flicker.

Though the third Wind Release: Spiraling Wind Ball was a different story since it was followed by three Housenka. "Hope I can keep this up." He thought but this time he wasn't going to stand there and avoid the attack like he did with the first two Wind Release: Spiraling Wind Ball attacks. Lucarios body on again became blurred and he was gone with the dust kicking up a split second after he vanished. He was moving so fast that it almost seemed like he just appeared from place to place. He appeared in front of each Hausenka avoiding them with ease at the last minute when it seemed they were about to hit him, and each time he moved he only left a blurred image of him-self allowing all three Hausenka to fly past him.

He didn't notice the other two till they made collision with the roof and he quickly looked up surprised. "Didn't see that coming." His eyes shifted to Naoko and he smiled. "Nicely played Kwada-dono." Then his body was blocked by the falling debris, but as soon as that happened he used the shinshoku escaping the the falling debris. It appeared that Lucario was crushed by the rocks but he then appeared in front of the debris covered in some dust and small rocks rubbing the back of his neck in some what embarrassed. "Almost bought the farm back there." he said laughing a bit. His eyes shifted to Naoko and Law and he smiled at them saying " Ryuuzetsumametsu-dono and Kawada-dono you guys got to admit that that was pretty impressive right? I call it the Shinshoku but my teachers use to call it good like speed." He sounded a bit cocky and proud when he told them the name but that was because he was actually pulling off the shinshoku.

"So now you two why I wanted to take the both of you on at the same time now, but it's my turn. now" Lucario took in a deep breath still standing straight up then his body image became a blur followed by the dust picking up and soon faded. Just as before it appeared that he just vanished into the air. He appeared in front of Law in his battojutsu stance. His left arm began to extend and Lucario yell "RYUKO..." his word was cut of as he vanished yet again.

This time he appeared on Naokos left side. "SHIN!" His left arm now fully extended doing the flash draw at much faster speed than before. The attack was aiming for her stomach and like before if it made contact it would leave a bruise where it hit but if he hit or missed Lucario would continue to use the shinshoku to his advantage.If it hit or missed Lucario would again use the shinshoku vanishing in a blur and appear jumping at Law "Leaf Whirlwind!" The attack was aimed for Laws head and now Lucario held his sheath in his right hand and his left arm held the bokken. It seemed like a rather simple attack to perform on a jounin but Lucario had a plan in his head.

--------------------------------------------

Spoiler:

Law stood there suprised as Lucario dodged all of his attacks. Not every day when a genin shows promise like that. Law had never heard of the Shinshoku, seemed like a pretty cool move, but Law was going to stick with his move. He called it the Busoshoku Haki. It allowed him to create an invisible armor around himself like a a shield. Allowing him to block incoming attacks. He saw Lucario use his move again but this time on Naoko. He saw how he attacked her with his wooden sword, he then disappeared and noticed he was aiming for him, but this time he decided not to move. He let Lucario's attack land on his head and didn't even bulge as his leg hit him up side the head. He quickly turned around aimed for kick in mid air but he was aiming to trip him up. If he was successful was then going to hit him with a small Karate chop to the ribs, pressing him downwards on the ground. He then would do several back flips away from him so the two could have space between each other. Staying to close to you opponent will spell trouble if that person happens to fight close range.

Spoiler:

Naoko watced Lucario carefully. The young Kunin had a tendency to place all of her concentration on her opponent during a battle, no matter what their rank or power level was. Therefore, it didn't take her long to figure out that Lucario was leaving behind afterimages of himself, due to increased speed. For a moment, she was tempted to show the Genin her true speed, but quickly shoved that thought aside. She didn't want to overdo it, the way she thought Law was doing. She glared at the Jounin from the corner of her eye. Lucario would eventually get to see her full speed later, when she faced Law. "I suppose it is... for a Genin," Said Naoko, after Lucario had explained his technique. As she spoke, she sounded uninterested, almost bored, even though she did mean to praise the young boy. She firmly believed that encouragement was necessary for the new generations, so that they would keep improving and eventually surpass their elders.

With her staff in hand, Naoko readied herself. She saw Lucario moving towards her, using his unique ability. He moved to the youg woman's left side. She held the staff with both hands now, each hand holding one end of the staff. Holding it vertically over her stomach, Naoko used the weapon to block Lucario's incoming attack. She felt Lucario's boken make contact with the staff. His attack was faster and stronger this time, she could tell. So much so that her weapon cracked underneath the pressure of Lucario's strike. Feeling the weapon starting to break, Naoko moved to the side, though not quickly enough. Lucario's boken managed to hit her side. She threw what remained of her weapon to the side, having no need for a broken staff. Using the amount of her speed and power that she was using now, Naoko knew that whichever attack she tried, he would manage to dodge. Therefore, she would focus on avoiding Lucario. Following Law's example, Naoko jumped backward in the opposite direction of Law, creating even more space between the three shinobi.

Lucario saw his leaf whirlwind make full contact and he smiled but what happened next he wasn't expecting at all. His attack didn't even phase Law. Lucarios eyes widened. "What the?" He asked in a confuse tone. As Lucario floated back down he saw Law do a spinning kick. Lucario tried to use the shinshoku but since he wasn't touching the ground he cuoldn't get out of the way. He then figured that he could use it on his arms but when he tried the muscles ached in pain which made him do a small grunt in pain. Laws kick hit him and launched him into the air followed by a karate chop which slammed Lucario into the ground. The impact was more than enough to knock the wind out of him and powerful enough to make blood drip from the side of his mouth.

He stood up slowly as the blood down the the side of his mouth and dripped of his chin. "What the hell was that?" "My attack hit the mark that at least should have phased him a little." There was quite a few distance between them and Lucario which made him rather uneasy. "Damn there to far apart for me to do my regular attacks." He thought. Lucario looked at his bokken and sheath then at Naoko and Law. If he attacked one of them that would only leave him vulnerable to be attacked by the other. Then he couldn't keep using the shinshoku to attack both at the same time since he wasn't sure how long he could keep it up. He could all ready feel his muscles shaking from the stress at moving such high speed and that chakra it required to keep it up was starting take it's toll.

He breathing had turned to panting and he shook his head trying to remain focus. He tried to slow his breathing down but it was no good. He sheath his bokken and took his battojutsu stance once more. He was trying to decide on who to attack. It seemed that attacking Law would prove useless since whatever technique Lucario used it'd only be blocked and if he attacked Naoko she could easily counter him. Though still it seemed like Law would be the most difficult with that barrier up. He took in a deep breath it was clear what he should do.

Lucario did the Ryukoshin movement but instead of holding onto his sheath he let it go and let it follow the motion of of swing. As it swung the sheath flew off the bokken flying like kunai knife at Law. Lucario then vanished leaving a blurred image of him-self behind and he appeared in front of Naoko and started to thrust his bokken rapidly at her. The first was aimed for the center of her chest then the second was aimed for left shoulder, followed by a thrust to the stomach, then one to head and finally the last one was aimed for her left thigh. In total he performed five thrust attacks but it just looked like he did three thrust attacks.While he performed the attacks he closed his eyes in pain as his body was starting to give out from the stress. 'I got to keep going." He thought.

Law wondered if he was going to rough on the poor kid. If he was he would just heal any of the wounds at the end of the match. He looked at Lucario as he threw his sheath at him. Law quickly reacted by using his kunai to block it, causing it to spin around in the air, he caught it while it was spinning in the air he caught it and began to look at the design of it. The sheath was all black, and there was nothing very special about it, but how he was looking at i, it seemed to be interesting to him. He looked at how Lucario charged Naoko and saw that he was starting to slow down his movements wasn't as fast before, meaning his body was starting to give out from being ether too tired or fro too much pain. Law shook his head as and sighed. Whenever Lucario was to be done with his attack Law was going to tell him- "Hey. Don't push yourself kid. Its always best to listen to your body." Law said with a small smirk. "I must have gone too overboard with the attacks." Law thought as he shook his head again.

Naoko narrowed her eyes, looking at Law as he was completely unphased by Lucario's Leaf Whirlwind. He had recieved the blow directly and reacted as if it were nothing. That was something she would have to take into account when she was fighting him later on. Naoko, however, wouldn't return the favor of having been shown her opponent's ability. Naoko's eyes widened slightly as she saw the Jounin continue to attack the young Genin. However, she didn't say anything. This is what Lucario had wanted, after all. She saw blood drip from the side of his mouth and saw the young boy struggle to get up. Even so, he decided to charge both of the older shinobi. "Better end this quickly before the kid actually hurts himself," Thought Naoko. She readied herself as she saw Lucario charge directly towards her, his wooden sword in hand. She briefly considered releasing chakra from her body and creating a thin but solid veil around herself. It was what she usually used during combat, an extension of herself that served both as a blunt and sharp weapon. However, she quickly dismissed the thought. She had already agreed with herself that she wouldn't let Law see any further into her abilities. Instead, she would continue using the techniques she had already shown. A wooden sword, like the staff she had created before, appeared in her left hand. Naoko narrowed her eyes as Lucario came closer and held the wooden sword horizontaly in front of her chest.

She blocked the first blow, the one that was aimed at her shoulder. She quickly moved the wooden sword to cover herself from the second and third blow. She held the wooden sword above her head, blocking the fourth blow. The young Kunin then extended her left leg forward, recieving the blow from Lucario's sword directly. However, at the same time, Naoko extended the Boken horizontally in front of her and thrust forward, attempting to kock Lucario to the ground. If successful, she would then mold the wooden sword into a kunai knife as she pounced on the young Genin, straddling his legs and pressing her empty hand to his chest to hold him down. She would move the kunai, made from her own chakra, to his neck. "That's more than enough, kid," She would say. If he managed to dodge the initial blow from her boken, however, she would remain silent, searching for another opening to end the sparring match.

Lucario smiled as his last attack hit the mark but he felt resistance as she moved her leg foreward. "Why would she put her leg foreward like that." He thought, and his question was answered as she moved her own bokken out. His legs were swiped from underneath him causing him to fly in the air and land with a thud on the ground causing dust to rise. He tried to move but he couldn't. His muscles were to taxed from the shinshoku. His eyes closed but then he felt something pounce on him and a hand get pressed against his chest. He didn't know what was going on till he opened his eyes.

As Lucario opened his eyes he saw Naoko on top of him and his face turned bright red. "I'm going to start losing to girls now if it always ends up like this." Lucario hadn't realized Naoko had a kunai to his neck or he wouldn't had said anything. He tried to move but his body was tired and he needed to rest. " you're both right since I can't move anymore." He said to Naoko. Whenever Naoko got off him he'd stand up slowly with his legs shaking and he'd slowly walk over to the wall next to the slide and sit down against the wall breathing heavy with his muscles shaking a little. "At least it wasn't as bad as last time." He thought. He couldn't help but smile since the last time he used the shinshoku he wasn't even able to move and he lost conscious. So he knew that his body was tolerating it more with each use, but he didn't think about it long since now he was going to be ale to see how a jounin and a kunin fought.

He watched the kid and wondered why push himself to hard, it was just going to waste energy, since he was up against a Jounin and a Kunin. He watched as he walked over to the wall and had sat down. Law smiled as he looked at Naoko. He was eager to fight her. He got into his fighting stance and began to think on what would be the best approach to attack her. most of his jutsu's were higher B and A rank. "Hey, Naoko. You ready to get this show over the road?" He said while popping his neck. He wondered if she was as eager as him, but when he looked at her face, he couldn't tell, she probably wasn't though. Even so Law was going to love this fight whether he lost or won. Since he let her go first last time he decided to make the first move this time.

He quickly took out three kunais and threw them at her. This was meant as a distraction as he followed them. He did followed with the same jutsu as before and out stretched his hand as large gust of wind blew from his hands causing the kunais to speed up as they flew through the air. "Wind Release: Gale Palm" He said in a soft tone. if she were to dodge them or blocked them he would then ran up behind her and aimed to grab her. If he was able to grab her he was then going to use a lightning jutsu to shock her. "Lightning Release: Lightning Rod"

Naoko looked at Lucario as he slowly opened his eyes. She could easily tell that the kid was exhausted and unable to move. She felt sympathy for him, up until the point where he decided to speak. She held herself back from sinking the kunai into his neck. Instead, she slapped him across the face with her free hand. "Saying things like that will send you to an early grave, kid!" She yelled. She got up, letting the young Genin stand once again. She watched with concern as he began to walk towards the walls of the cave and wound up collapsing against them. As Law asked her if she was ready to begin, Naoko shook her head. "Not yet," She said, letting out a loud sigh. The look on her face as she approached Lucario was that of pure annoyance. She crouched down to his level and extended her hands. She gripped his sides, feeling his ribs so that she could detect any injury. "Say something about this and I'll break every single one of your ribs, got it?" She warned, knowing by now that Lucario would probably comment on the fact that she was feeling him up. She pressed down on his ribs, which would probably make him wince. "It's broken, alright." She mumbled. "Probably grazed your lung, which was what made spit up blood back there," She explained. Her left hand covered itself in a thin veil of green chakra. She held it over Lucario for a couple of seconds. "There, that should do it," She murmured as she got up and turned towards Law.

A smirk graced Naoko's features, making her look somewhat cocky. "Now I'm ready," She stated, getting into a basic stance. The young Kunin might not have been as eager as the man in front of her, but she was looking forward to the fight, nonetheless. She wanted to see what passed for a Jounin these days. "Now, the question is, do you want me to go all out?" She asked. Soon enough, she saw Law make the first move, launching three kunai into the air. He made them move faster by using wind jutsu. No matter, they would be easy enough to dodge or block. She covered both her hands in a thin and imperceptible veil of chakra, which extended 1cm from her skin. It was solid enough to let her block all three kunai, seemingly with her bare hands. She dissolved the veil after doing so, not wanting to spend chakra without need. She saw Law moving from the corner of her eyes and briefly considered her reaction in the seconds she had before she needed to move. She could do one of two things: She could stay where she was and let herself receive the attack and use the proximity to her advantage or she could simply avoid it all together. She decided on the first.

Naoko poured a steady stream of chakra to the palm of her hand, in the form of an electrical current. Law grabbed her from behind, wrapping hit arms around her neck and upped arms, leaving her lower arms free. She moved her arm to grab Law's wrist and send the current she had collected in her hands into his body. "Ranshinshou," She said. The jutsu would tamper with his nervous system, mixing up the commands his brain sent. Her smirk was confident, but soon enough it turned into a scowl. She grunted in pain as Law's jutsu hit her directly. Pain spread throughout her body along with the electrical current, leaving behind a sharp sting. The places where Law had grabbed her were left somewhat charred. She bit the inside of her cheeks to keep herself from screaming in pain. The young Kunin was left panting and in pain after the jutsu was over. She did her best to ignore it. She had to get out of Law's grip. She covered her elbow in the same veil of chakra as before. This time, however, it was extended 15cm from her skin and in the form of a sharp blade. With the little room from maneuverability that she had, Naoko thrust her elbow back, towards Law's stomach. If he managed to let go of her before she struck, Naoko would jump away from him, doing three flips to create space between them.

Spoiler:

She slapped him across the face for his earlier comment and most people would get mad but instead Lucario just smiled at her. "You shouldn't get mad at people who find you cute Kwada-dono, but instead thank them or something." He replied. "I bet you could find a guy you liked you if you weren't so mean to them." He stuck his tongue out on her. "Well that's what i read in a book one time." Once she fixed his rib and rubbed the back of his head "Thanks Kwada-dono, whenever you want just come by my parents pastry shop and you can have a desert on the house." He said resting his head against the wall. "Now best of luck to the both of ya." He said as he closed his eyes for a brief second. He watched as the battle began between Law and Naoko. "So this is how a jounin and kunin fight." He thought.

Law smirked as he was able to make contact with her body, but soon the smirk soon faded away as he saw her touch him before he could let go of her, a large pain spread through out his body. He let go of Naoko as he slumped over on the ground. He saw her gain some distance between the two of them. He tried to stand up with his right leg but his left index finger began to move. "What the hell... I can't move very good... Crap..." Law thought as he tried to figure out how to move. He moved his left arm and left leg stood up off the ground. He moved his foot, which caused him to move his right leg. He moved his neck a little to the right and his left arm moved around. After a few tries he was able to move his left and right leg together in sync but the rest of his body was still out of whack. He moved his big toe which caused his left arm to lift into the air. He was starting to get the hand of, but his movement was still impaired. He raised his hands in front of him, and clapped them together. Doing all of this proved to be difficult even though he was a medical ninja. Luckly he was able to remember which body part moved what. He formed the hands for a lightning jutsu. "Lightning...Senbon..." He said as a large about of electricity stormed from his hand as swiped it towards Naoko's direction. Hundreds of tiny lightning needs flew towards her all capable of piercing through rock. Though he wanted to follow up with a surprise attack, he was just going to have to use the little time he had as to figure out how to make his body move. He hoped that she was able to block or was able to dodge all of the attacks, because he wanted this fight go on a lot longer.

A dark blush spread across Naoko's face, thanks to Lucario's comments. She wasn't used to being called things like cute. The adjectives people usually used to describe her were things along the lines of scary or fierce. The comment about her possibly getting a guy to like her didn't help either. That was possibly at the end of her list of priorities at the moment. Or at least it wasn't something she gave much thought to. "Just... Shut up," She managed. When Lucario thanked her and offered her free pastries, her eyes widened. She was a huge fan of sweets. it was a somewhat shildish trait, she knew, but she couldn't help it. "Th-thank you," She stutered. Shortly affter, the actual fight between Naoko and Law began.

The pain in Naoko's body faded, turning into a dull sting. It was uncomfortable, but still manageable. She watched in satisfaction as Law struggled to move. "Let me give you some advice, Law," She began. The young Kunin could have taken the advantage and ended the fight while the Jouning was on the ground. However, she decided not to. This was a trainign match, after all. There was no need for her to end it that early on. Besides, it was a good opportunity to instruct the man. "First of all, when you see that your opponent willingly falls into a trap, it's probably a trap as well," She said. As he stood up again, Naoko got into a stance. She modified the flow of her chakra, making an additional amount flow through her legs, increasing her already outstanding speed. he hadn't answered her question, but the young woman assumed that he'd want to see her full strength. He saw his hands moving, forming different signs. She didn't recognize them, but her eyes narrowed and her legs readied themselves to run, jump and dodge whatever was to come. As the tiny senbon shot towards her, Naoko jumped into the air, high enough to dodge the burst of senbon that came her way. While she was in the air, she formed three kunai with her chakra and threw them towards Law. They would flash briefly, giving the other shinobi only a vague idea of what was being thrown at him and at what speed the projectiles travelled. At the same time, the Kunin materialized a steel chain from underneath the ground. She controlled its movement completely and would make the item attempt to wrap itself around Law's left leg.

The kunoichi did three summersaults in the air before landing several meters behind Law. "Secondly, never underestimate your opponent's abilities, particularly their speed and strength," She said. Whether or not the kunai she had thrown had hit Law, she would draw the chakra she used to make them back into her body. She quickly formed several handseals. "Dai Endan!" She yelled. She felt the heat rising from her stomach and passing throught her lungs and int oher mouth. She breathed a heavy and constant stream fire from her mouth, towards Law.

Spoiler:

As she told him to shutup Lucario just laughed and listened to her say thank you after he invited her to have some sweets at his parents pastry shop. "Don't mention it Kwada-dono you can even bring your boyfriend." Lucario knew she was going to say she didn't have a boyfriend since she told him to shutup earlier and how she reacted to guys calling her cute, so before she could say anything he just pointed to Law. "Don't worry I won't say anything." He said smiling.

The fight had all ready started and it appeared to be a one sided battle but Law used a technique called lightning senbon and Lucario watched as fight continued. Then a dark feeling started to appear in Lucarios mind. As he sat there watching the fight continue he gripped the handle of his bokken tighter till his hand started to hurt. He wasn't sure what this feeling was. This cold feeling slowly ensued his body and Lucario wasn't sure if it was rage, jealousy or something darker. His face turned cold but his eyes were filled a lust for battle and blood.

"She's pretty cocky just because she's a kunin." He thought. "But just because she's so powerful doesn't mean anything. In kendo just because someone uses a wooden sword doesn't make them any less deadly than if they were holding a real sword. All swordsmen know that a well placed hit with a bokken can kill someone. He continued to think.

Lucario watched how the Ranshinshou was affecting Law it was making his body movement much more difficult. There was something more to it though than impeding his movement but he couldn't put his finger on it. He continued to watch Naoko and Law fight and again Naoko used the same ability from before and she had used it so much that now Lucario was able to see that she had such great chakra control that she was actually able to force her chakra to create physical objects such as kunai and staffs. "Still though.... she's been using that same ability for a while now so I'm sure it has taken some toll on her whether she shows it or not but that might not matter if Law doesn't control his eagerness."

Lucario couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed and more angry as Naoko lectured Law about not under estimating people and how people fall into traps with traps of their own. "Acting high and mighty ain't she...." He made a fist with his right hand about to go charging in but then a thought ran across his mind. "I need to calm down." He thought. Lucario closed his eyes and took in a deep breath relaxing and when he opened his eyes they were back to where they had a soft gaze to them that of peace. He continued to watch the fight go on as Naoko used Dai Endan. He wondered what came over him for those few brief minutes. It felt like he became a completely different person but he didn't pay any mind to it since he figured it was just from the beating he took.

"Let me give you some advice, Law," Naoko said as she looked at him as he was struggling to stand up. "Oh my god, I can't believe this she is not about to lecture me." Law thought to himself as he maintain the same expression he always did. Just a smirk. "First of all, when you see that your opponent willingly falls into a trap, it's probably a trap as well," She said while jumped into the air evading the senbon. She began to throw what seemed to be three Kunai. He wasn't able to see them correctly but he moved quickly moved out the way but his movement was still impaired, causing one of the chakra to scrape through his knee. Causing small but visible cut on his leg causing him grunt a bit in pain. He fell to ground after losing his balance, while trying to to get up he felt something wrap around his leg. When he looked he couldn't really see it but he had a clue on what it was. "Secondly, never underestimate your opponent's abilities, particularly their speed and strength," Law looked behind him to see Naoko end her sentence with a large fire ball towards him.

Quickly reacting he turned around laying on his back and looked up towards the fireball. "Lightning Release: False Darkness!" He said while shooting out a large lightning spear towards the fire ball causing the two jutsu's to cancel each other out. He looked at her and quickly got up off the ground as fast as he could. He formed the hand signs and crouched over and placed his hand on the ground. Suddenly lightning began engulf his hand, accompanied by the sound of birds chirpping. "Chidori!." He said while while running as fast as he could towards Naoko. His moment was a lot better now than how it was before but he still wasn't as fast. Upon reaching he raised his hand up and aimed to thrust his hand into her stomach. If the move was some how deflected and he was attack he was then to use, Lightning Release Shadow Clone. Causing a wave of electricity to shock her. He was then going to appear behind her with a fully developed Rasangan.

Spoiler:

As Law tripped on the ground, Naoko made the chain around Law's leg tighten, limiting his range of movement to a 3m diameter unless he decided to try and sever it. The Kunin watched as her jutsu was cancelled out. Nevertheless, the look on her face was just as confident as before. She would do as before and keep on goading him, mainting an air of false superiority. It was simple and common in battel to try and enrage your opponent, often by belittling them. In Naoko's experience, it mde people act rashly and spend more energy than necessary. That, if mixed with Law's initial eagerness, would give her an advantage over him. What followed happened in a span of a few short seconds. Naoko noticed Law's movements beginning to return to normal. She had to be more careful now, though she decided to keep appearing nonchalant. "Not bad, but do you really think you can keep up?" She spat. Only a few moments later, she saw a ball of lightning form in Law's hand. The sound of chirping birds filled the cave. She might not have known how to perform that jutsu itself, but it was easy enough to recognize: Chidori. It was a technique that was famous around the shinobi world. But without use of Doujutsu, the technique became easy to dodge. Law closed in the distance between the two rather quickly, considering that the Ranshinshou was still somewhat in effect. "He's fast, I'll give him that much," She thought. The young woman took quick note of her surroundings. The cavern's wall was only a short distance behind her.

Naoko did an aerial to the side, managing to dodge the attack just barely. If Law continued running for a few centimeters after he missed Naoko, he would hit the cavern's walls, causing debris to fall over him. Naoko had used a good part of her chakra, though not enough to leave her panting. However, she had to pace herself. For the time being, she would focus on dodging and using her taijutsu whenever she saw an opening. Almost instantly after Law used the Chidori, he appeared behind her, a Rasengan in his hand. Her eyes narrowed. Chakra ran through her legs, pulsing and making her speed increase. She did another aerial towards the same side, attempting to dodge the jutsu. Nevertheless, Law managed to graze her left calf, opening a large wound. As she landed a few feet away from him, Naoko assesed the damage as quickly as she could, not wanting to create an opening. The cut he had opened would slow her down, even if just a bit.

Lightning shadow clone, chidori, and rasengan all powerful jutsus and all used at once. Lucario couldn't say that he wasn't impressed but using such powerful jutsus one right after the other had to drain a large portion of Laws chakra, buy Lucario couldn't help wonder why use such powerful jutsus if you didn't know they were going to hit their mark. It was an excellent combo combining those three jutsus into one combo in further increased their deadliness and it seemed that Laws rasengan had caused a cut to Naokos left calf. Looks like Law wasn't holding back if any of those attacks landed it could have been over. He wondered what Naoko would do now that she was injured. Lucario leaned forward as he watched the battle rage on.

Law smirked as his attack worked, causing a large wound on her left calf. He was starting to gain an advantage even if it was razor thin. His speed was finally back and he was feeling more energetic than ever, but his little combination earlier had drained a lot of chakra from him. He was going to have to cut back on the ninjutsu and begin to use some of his taijutsu. He popped his neck and began to get serious. He knew that in a few more moves that the fight would be over, but that never stopped Law from still continuing the fight. He was just having to much fun. He was thinking about charging her but then a thought began to ring through his mind. "Never underestimate your opponent's abilities, particularly their speed and strength." He tilted his head slightly and began to think. He knew for a fact that he was stronger than her , in terms of strength but in terms of speed she could run circles around him if she wanted. There was nothing he could do about it now, since he wasn't at full strength anymore. Just put on the best fight he can, and with that he formed the hand signs from one of his earlier jutsu's. "Lightning Release: False Darkness!" He said while expelling two large beams of lightning instead of one. Following his two attacks he then jumped into the air over her. "Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere!" He said while expelling three large bullets of wind towards her.

Spoiler:

The atmosphere of the battle had suddenly become tense. Having no further need for the chain around Law's leg, Naoko drew back the chakra she had used to make it. The jutsus that Law had used had evidently taken a toll on his body. Nevertheless, she would stick to her style of combat and wait to counterattack, evade and defend. The chakra that coursed through her legs helped to compensate for the injury she'd recieved. She released her chakra, coating both her arms and legs with it. She remained calm, waiting for Law to strike. Once he began to move, so did she. The young Kunin couldn't really say that she had memorized the hansigns that Law's jutsu requiered, but she could vaguely recognize what he was doing. It went one of both ways: It would either be a wind or lightning based technique. Additionally, it would likely be something mid-ranged. She readied herself to avoid the attack, this time with something that requiered less movement so that she could avoid further injuries. As a precaution, she formed a shield, embedding it with her chakra's fire nature. Law finally completed his handsigns, shooting two heavy streams of lightning towards her. the shield she had created probably wouldn't be able to withstand such a blast. Naoko decided to dodge the attack, jumping four meters into the air. Both currents of lightning passed below her.

Almost instantly, Law appeared behind Naoko. The young woman barely had time tu turn around in the air and get a glimpse of what he was doing. There was no time to dodge. She covered herself with her shield, which recieved the full impact of Law's wind jutsu. The large gust of wind made her crash into the ground, leaving a large crater where she had landed. Dust covered the scene in a heavy cloud. The impact had left Naoko's back aching. She could feel thatone of her ribs had broken. Instantly, she began to mend it, sending chakra towards the bone. it was a jutsu that she herself had developed over the years. Otherwise, she was unharmed. While her ribs healed, she wouldn't be able to move her torso that well, but that wouldn't affect her fighting directly. She had made a lucky guess by embedding her shield with fire. Wind jutsu were weak against fire. Therefore, despite the fact that her protaction had cracked underneath the pressure of Law's jutsu, it had managed to abrorb and cancel out the durect impact. Naoko took advantage of the dust cloud around her. She stood up quickly and silently. Using the Body Flicker jutsu, she appeared above him. "Sharp Fist: Flying Swallow," She murmered, in order to stay undetected. At her maximum speed, Naoko forced her descent on Law, aiming a kick towards his shoulder. In a matter of a second, whether she missed or not, Naoko would reappear above him and aim another rapid kick towards his chest. Reapeating the same, she aimed her final kick towards Law's back.

(OCC: Lucario told me to post ahead of him, because he won't be able to post until we finish)

Law gritted his teeth has he thought he had made contact with her. He waited for her to reappear from the dust cloud but then realized something. His hearing was a lot better than regular persons. He could hear a murmur as if the person was talking to him personally. He could tell that she had used the body flicker jutsu to appear behind him. The first attack he was able to dodge, but the other two, those were a problem. As he dodged the first kick he saw that she had appeared again had hit him in the chest. He hit the ground hard. He could tell that she had fractured a rib or two. He slid across the ground and jumped back on his feet, totally unaware that she had appeared behind him with a large kick to the back. He felt another painfully sensation as he slid across the floor again. "Ahh Shit, Shit, shit! God ! my back! Alright, alright that's enough for me for today. I don't want to get my butt kicked so hard that I can't walk home." Law said while stretching his back as he limped over to his trusty sword, Ashura. He then looked at Naoko with a large smile. "And the winner of todays match is Naoko Kawado." He said sarcastically as he clapped his hands.

Naoko felt her first kick hit the ground. She’d missed. She didn’t think any further of it. She had no time. The young Kunin continued with her attacks. She felt satisfied when the second kick connected. Law flew rapidly towards the ground. Just as she descended for the third time, Law stood up once again. When her kick connected with the Jounin’s back, Naoko almost regretted having used the technique thinking that maybe she’d gone too far. The young man started cussing and wailing, finally calling off the fight. By that time, Naoko was panting. Sweat made her hair stick to her forehead. Her ribs had finally healed, but the wound on her leg was still seeping blood. The young woman rested her hand on her knees while she regained her breath. “Hmph,” Was all she said. She wanted to apologize, but didn’t really know how. She sighed, relieved that the fight was over. In her opinion, it was getting much too serious, much too fast. If they’d kept on going, they would have probably started using forbidden jutsu. She shook her head, waving away the thought.

She stood up straight when Law spoke again. She curtsied in response to his sarcasm. She walked up to him, limping now. She did the same she had done to Lucario before. She took a close look at his wounds, analyzing his posture to try and guess where the problem was. She hesitated before extending her arms to feel his ribs and see where the fracture was. All the while she was blushing slightly, trying to hide it by covering face with her hair. “Three of your ribs are broken…” She murmured. She had enough chakra left to heal him. She covered her hand with a green aura and held it over the other man’s torso so that she could heal him if he let her. Once she was done she would sit on the ground, resting for a while. Her leg still hurt, but it was bearable. She turned her attention to Lucario for the first time in a while. He was still slumped against the wall. Naoko assumed that he was still recovering from his burst of speed. “So, what did you think?” She asked him, referring to the fight.

Lucario looked around at all the destruction sighing. "Looks like I won't be training here." He thought. He stood up slowly and began to stretch as causing his bones pop. He shivered and began to dust him-self off seeing holes in his clothing from the rock and some other minor rips. He thought about what his mom was going to do with and the very thought made him shiver. His eyes became watery and then tears started to pour out like a water shooting out from a fountain. "my mom is going to kill me.... I don't want to die!." He yelled out loud falling to his knees. "I want to live!" He added. When Naoko asked asked him what of thought of the fight. "What can I say?" He said in low depressed tone. Quickly his voice tone changed to an enthusiastic tone as he said "THAT WAS AMAZING! You guys were using such amazing jutsu that I really don't know what to say." He walked over grabbing the sheath to his bokken and slide around his back to where the handle stuck out above his left shoulder, then clipped the star clip shut holding it in place. "You two aren't going to die are you?" He asked since there wounds did look somewhat serious to him. "Do i need to take you guys to the hospital to have your wounds treated?" Lucario had a feeling that it was getting late and the needed to get home soon. His mom told him before he went out just because he's a shinobi doesn't mean that he can be late for dinner.

Law bowed to her, when she finished healing his ribs. He didn't have any justu that could heal bones so he was in the dark on this one. He could see that she was blushing a little but he didn't really pay attention to it. He began to feel the spot where it should have been hurting and noticed that the pain had stopped. "Thanks, Naoko. Here let me repay you." He said while forming a few hand signs. With the last little bit of his chakra, Law bent over and and began to heal her leg with the Mystical Hand Technique. He lightly touched the wound on her leg and watched as the wound began to disappear. He smiled as he healed her. "There you go." He said while slowly standing back up despite being exhausted. he looked at Lucario as he pooped his neck and smiled. "Sure we'll be okay. We're both medical ninja." Law said while rubbing his neck as he slowly began to walk over to the nearest wall and sat down. He watched as the entire place was trashed. He was going to have to fix the place up for the next time he trains here with other people.

Naoko smirked. The reaction Lucario gave was basically what she was expecting. After all, it's not every day that a child that just graduated from the Academy gets to see such a display of power. "Now you've got something to measure yourself up to, kid," She said. Despite the fact that he was a pervert, she could probably say that she liked the kid. He seemed pure-hearted and kind. At the same time, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Naivety died quickly in the shinobi world. People are often forced to kill and destroy, just as she had done during the war. She closed her eyes, but was quickly shaken out of her thougts by Law, who was placing a hand over her injury. The relief was almost instant. Soon, all that would be left of her wound would be the blood that had dried on her leg and the rips in her clothing. All in all, those were the usual results of a sparring match. "And don't worry, kid. I'll walk you home. I'll explain to your mom why you're late, that'll keep you out of trouble," Naoko offered. She had free time on her hands, anyways and she could use a couple of sweets from Lucario's bakery. "And like Law said, we're both medics," She said as she stood up, grunting. Her muscles were still sore. "Feel free to challenge me to a rematch when you get better," She said to Law, though she didn't turn to look at him. There was a somewhat smug smile on her face. She did it mostly to piss him off. She found that resentment usually helped people train more.
