Dashing through the snow, Blaisa Sarutobi could be found making her way towards the outskirts of the Land of Iron – in search of the infamous Naughtykage.  After a brief meeting with the Hollykage, she had been informed by the jolly man that his eternal nemesis had returned to haunt him once again.  ‘Hmph.’, she began to think to herself in silence while sprinting, looking down towards snow, ‘I wonder who could be dangerous enough to give the old man some trouble like this.  He must be strong, but at least he’s sending Souji with me.  If we both stay on our guard, I know we can handle anything…’. 
 
Bringing her entire inventory with her, the Sarutobi made sure to be absolutely prepared for this fight by having every tool in her arsenal ready to be used at her disposal.  With both ninja pouches resting behind her lower back, Blaisa made sure to evenly split how many ninja tools she had in each pouch - with five shuriken and five legacy kunai in the left one, and the same even amount of the same tools in the right.  Although wearing a snow cloak that completely covered her primary clothing from head to toe, she was wearing a jacket with a various number of pockets, all containing sets of food pills and other utility related items.
 
Stopping in her tracks, Blaisa began to slightly frown while beginning to inspect her surroundings – receiving a strange sensation of uncertainty.  Tilting her head back and forth, the Sarutobi could not help but begin to ponder with her circumstances.  ‘Right – so.  I’m getting closer to the North Star like the Hollykage said to do, but it’s getting…. warmer?’, she continued her thought process, crouching down in order to run her hands horizontally through the ground – picking up a large piece of the snow.  Rubbing her fingers through the snow, an expression of shock began to overcome Blaisa’s face as she had realized something dangerous.
 
The snow had a strange texture to it, and Blaisa could tell that it was snow that was not of her world.  “What is the place?”, she began to say out loud with a slight tone of panic, “Where am I!?  Where is Souji!?”, the Sarutobi would finish.  Standing back up on her two feet, Blaisa took a deep breath and shook away all form of panic, regaining a calm state of mind.  ‘Just find the cabin.’, she thought as she continued to walk at a brisk pace towards her destination. 
 
Arriving to the structure that the Hollykage had been referring to her about, Blaisa stopped moving – standing fifteen meters away from the singular one-room cabin that was roofed, standing ten meters tall, wide, and long.  She would be standing in the northern direction from the house.  The environment seemed relatively peaceful, with a forest of trees circularly surrounding the cabin - starting at thirty meters away from the center of the building.  The ground in between the forest and the cabin was completely flat, with patches of both grass and snow scattered across the flattened surface. 
 
“I’ll wait here.”, Blaisa began to say out loud under her breath.  Before getting any closer, she wanted to wait for Souji to arrive at her destination as well.  Although monitoring her surroundings and mapping out every meter, the Sarutobi kept her eyes out for any possible threats that could be coming her way – always standing guard, ready to react to anything at a moments notice.

Sarutobi, Blaisa - Stats:

The Sarutobi would not have to wait much longer for her aide to arise. The Hyuuga would come forth with no supplies that could be seen - via a weapon pouch or anything of that nature. Instead his tools were all stored with a realm of void, space and time. At his disposal he is capable of withdrawing from that void should he need to, or depositing into it. In his stride, he would noticed the female Sarutobi. 'Huh? Blaisa...?' He began to think - now that he thought back on it, the Hollykage did mention that she was going to be assisting him on this mission. What's more, he ran down the logistics of this particular task.  

Trotting through the snow, Souji would close the distance between the two. Him being thirty meters away from her, coming up at her flank. Thus meaning he was parting from the trees as he did. Now stepping on a more flat surface, he would move more comfortably. His eyes lilac eyes would bounce from her back to various placed of tge area as he got closer to her. His hands within the depths of his pockets. "Blaisa..." He reached with his voice. Subtly, when he was in five meters of her to grasp her attention. Coming to a stop one foot to her right. His eyes would scan over the cabin. Analyzing it from top to bottom. He would then turn his gaze over to tge snow around them. Something about it... was off. "So, I'm sure the fat guy explained everything to you, just as he did for me. It's been a while since the two of us been in this type of situation... as kids we only ever pretend to go on a mission as shinobi, now look at us." He would state.  

It did not take long before he would focus his chakra into large burst behind his eyes. Thus swelling his veins around his temples and eyes as his lilac orbs glazed over with pearls. Byakugan, granting him a one hundred meters outlook, with a three hundred sixty degrees radius - The all seeing eye! There is nearly nothing that can obscure the vision of these powerful eyes. Most Hyuuga are born with featureless eyes due to the Byakugan and its potency, however there are rare cases where one is born with featured eyes. Thus, Souji is one of them. Though those features are swapped for featureless ones upon activation, this permits him to see chakra at a drastic lengths. He can even pierce his gaze through solid constructs.  

That being said, should there be a source within the cabin, Souji's eyes would reveal that source to him. Should it be behind the cabin, around or within the depths of the foret, his scanning eyes would noticed it within the radius and meters allowed. This was to be a serious mission for him. He was not going to take it lightly. He aimed to make those close to him proud with his accomplishments here. "Blaisa... ready yourself. We are not alone here. Follow my lead and find your opening to strike quick and hard. Do not hesitate. We may not get a second chance to collaborate after the initial move, are we understood?" He spoke low enough for her ears alone. His tone was more serious, more focus as he kept his guard up and his hands were removed from the depths of his pockets, placed at his sides.  

He did not have any true doubts in her capabilities. She proved as much during their last pairing along with Ryu and that other Hyuuga. However, this was them along, though they had a history in the leaf, Souji was no long a member of that village. He had a new home and he had a new path. "Try not to hold me back either... I'd hate to have to carry you this entire mission." The Hyuuga added with a smirk and a light chuckle. Knowing full well that this would create spark within her to keep her more than alert if him and their opponent. The air about them would be one of growing rivalry. Souji looked forward to see exactly how much she have grown since then.

Souji's Stats:

AP Cost:

Still standing in the snow with her arms crossed, fifteen meters north from the center cabin – Blaisa continued to stand there with an attitude of completely irrational impatience.  Although it had only been about twenty seconds that she had been waiting, the Sarutobi was known for acting like a toddler when it came to waiting.  While drowning in the agony of being in this state of mind, the Sarutobi was completely unaware of the presence of the Hyuuga – even when he was a mere five meters behind her.  “Blaisa…”, she could hear being strangely whispered in her ear before yelping in fear and immediately turning to face the Hyuuga, putting up her karate chop hands ready to defend herself in a foolish non-existent taijutsu formation.    

Putting her hands back down to the side with noticing that it was no other than Souji, Blaisa began to itch the back of her head and chuckle in embarrassment, letting out a widened smile.  “H-Hey Souji-”, she would let out in a low tone before noticing that he didn’t seem to care about it and interrupted her with a quick rundown of the situation.  Not replying to his statement immediately, the Sarutobi nodded her head in acknowledgement that was complimented with an expression of determination and confidence.  She remembered the fond times the two of them had together when they were children, pretending to go on missions and all the like. 

Taking a moment to ponder, Blaisa couldn’t help but chuckle and let out a response, “And guess what?  We didn’t lose a single one, now did we - We always won.”, she would finish before slamming her right fist into her left hand in readiness.  Noticing the Hyuuga activating his Byakugan, Blaisa knew that the time of reminiscence was over.  Following his lead, the Sarutobi also followed suit by scanning the area – her vision blurred down to a mere line of sight of only ten meters.  Squinting her eyes to try to reveal more came to no avail, as it was clear to her that she would be useless against the Hyuuga’s featured lilac eyes.

As Souji began to instruct her to get ready as they were not alone, Blaisa wasted no time in hesitation.  Taking this exact moment to reposition herself, the Sarutobi simultaneously closed the distance of five meters at max speed to Souji’s exact location – facing the opposite side of the Hyuuga, back-to-back with him not even centimeters apart from one another.  Once she was in this position, Blaisa could notice the entire environment covered in what seemed to be… mist.  This caused her vision to be even worse than what it was before, turning down her line of sight from ten meters to three.

Unfortunately for her, this also meant that Blaisa would be unable to see anymore incoming attacks until they reached a distance of three meters away from her.  “Souji!  I can’t see anything-“, she began to say with a tone of alertness, “You’ll have to guide me.  You know my skill set!”, she would finish.  As much as she hated it, Blaisa would have to heavily rely on the Hyuuga’s Byakugan in order to be given instruction by him on what to do.  Regardless of what she was told to do from here on out, the Sarutobi would do her job simultaneously with Souji’s commands.

Combat Log:

Words of the Sarutobi would reach the Hyuuga, admittedly, he would think back to those times... those days of momentary escape, relief of fear, void from sadness. Foreign to what happiness was in truth, but a sliver of its taste was more than appreciated. A small smirk would manifest at the corner of his mouth. Did he miss it? Even he was unsure of the answer to that question. However, now was far from the time to reminisce... The right brow of the boy would shift - raising as his eyes fixed on a being. "Blaisa, I've found his location. Directly forty five meters in front of us... huh? Wait..." His relaying of information was cut as he further analyzed the situation. The beings form, no... not only its form, but...Chakra too? Both seemingly altered. This was odd to Souji, upon what he was seeing...a mirrored reflection of himself. "The hell? It morphed... into..me." His words left his lips uneasy, it was odd to say the least, what's more... "There's three of them. And...and they also have the Byakugan." He informed.  

Upon the summoning of the additional imposters they scattered with urgency - all but one. Simultaneously did they move west and east. "They're on the move, traversing through the forest. One is circling around to our to our left at a distance of thirty meters, the other to our right, at the same distance. The last one is oddly...standing still." He would say, hoping that she was following his every word. Immediately this was growing to become a bit much for him. No longer standing five meters from Blaisa - now back-to-back, her acting on his warning prior - the imposters circled around their flanks east and west. His eyes carefully drifting from one to the other. He stood there as he desired to understand what exactly it was that they were planning. The Byakugan, keen in its observation skills and ability to relay detail to the user would point out to Souji the slight movements of both clones hands as well as chakra kneading within and around them. "Blaisa! They are launching." He would speak as lowly as he can, while maintaining himself as best he could.  

Abruptly the the area was gradually being engulfed in a mist, this struck Souji as odd, but he understood the logic behind it. Immediately as it grew to submerge the land his right hand would reach abaft of him into the left weapon pouch of Blaisa - urgently he fondled until he found what he was looking for. Withdrawing one kunai from her person. "Need to borrow this..." He would say. At this time the mist was now fully submerging the globe, simultaneously there was a launching. His right hand would swiftly bring the kunai to his right cheek...cutting his cheek, drawing blood - trailing down the side of his face to his neck. "Incoming projectiles at my nine o'clock!" He would announce. Understanding that Blaisa's visibility was extremely hindered, he would move to her right, placing her exactly behind him. "Don't move! On my command summon one clone..." He instructed in a stern tone. His eyes would count one, two, four, five projectiles coming his solely way. Thirty meters from his position... what? The stationary one was now on the move...his movement was too familiar. "Shit... it copied me perfectly. One more is heading our way, my three o'clock." He said.  

All this was taking place simultaneously, with his left hand at the max speed he formed the clone seal. "Now!" He command, suddenly to his right and abaft of him to Blaisa's left, should she still be standing with her right to his back, at a distance of two feet from both of them two more Souji's would manifest with the same cut on their right cheek. At this time, Blaisa should have her clone(s) out along side Souji's. It was times to move. The original Souji would then expel from his being a half a meter coat of chakra that would enclose him in a shell of chakra at the speed of 60 with the power and health to mirror that stat. His eyes gauged the path of the needles to collide with the midsection, his midsection. However upon this happening the each needle would fail in its attempt to penetrate his barrier causing them to shatter - returning to nothing more than liquid upon the very snow he stood upon. Souji would lock his eyes on to the source of that jutsu, using his left hand to tug at the side of the Sarutobi to follow him. Thus taking off in the direction of the imposter at his twelve o'clock directly thirty meters before him. Hopefully with Blaisa close to him, aware of her speed not being a match for his he would be sure to maintain a speed of her max. "He's directly ahead of us, Blaisa... twenty two meters ahead. Send something that can blitz him. Preferably closing off his left and right leaving a straight forward access. I'll handle the center." He instructed. .

Five seals were formed with his left hand solo again. Upon completion he outstretched his left arm and hand. From his palm emerged a small light of chakra that hovered six centimers above his hand. That small light would abruptly expand into a baseball size orb of chakra at jutsu speed of 50. This ball would swirl with ominous chakra taking the color of Souji's chakra which was indeed a royal blue with a steel blue tinge around it. The two - Blaisa and Souji would find themselves now eighteen meters away, now entering the forest along the path that the needles came. Along with Blaisa's attack, Souji would thrust his left hand forward to fire his orb of condensed chakra directly at the imposter at the speed of 50 with the power of 50. With the precision of his eyes he found a clear path that would lead the orb straight to the mirror of himself. Should it manage to reach its target, of its path be impeded by any means it would rapidly expand outwardly in an AoE of pure chakra. It's expansion would release its power to a maximum of ten meters at jutsu speed causing destruction to the trees and the immediate area. At which point, before that occurred Souji would halt his pace and Blaisa's to steer clear of the radius of the explosion.  

At the same time of the originals initial efforts, once summoned the clone facing the imposter that was now sprinting towards them would sprint to his path. With its Byakugan active as well it would know exactly where it was. Should Blaisa have a clone to aide this one it would be wise to have it follow suit. "Stay two feet behind me, he's building a massive amount of chakra. This one might get a little ugly." He said. Maintaining a speed just fast enough to keep that Blaisa two feet behind him. Noting that he was building chakra within his hand, so two did this clone. The very same technique that the imposter was utilizing would mirror in this one's palm, however the mere different was in its eyes. Once they were within one meter of each other - the clone and the imposter - the clones eyes would glow with a crystal blue hue. Thus unlocking his potential to further push himself and his capabilities. Increasing his speed to 129 at the last possible second he would hope to catch this imposter off guard. Chakra focused in his right hand he would thrust it to meet with the imposter's right with a power equal to 142. Thus sudden burst of power would undoubtedly be more than the imposter could handle. Should the two palms collide there would be little struggle as the Hyuuga clone would break through that false jutsu. Its raw power delivered from it thrust would be so devastating that it would be powerful enough to punch a hole clean through the palm to the shoulder possibly obliterating that arm completely. Submerging the false Souji in a bright white light that would launch it back 50 meters max. Should this force carry it into a tree then there would be environmental blunt force damage to add into affect. In the wake of the attack force snow would raise from the ground and scatter. As well as opening a visible line of sight along the path of the carried force. His eyes would stay fixed on that being to determine what to do next.  

Simultaneously in accordance to that the second clone would peer over to the second imposter at was the same distance away as the original imposter but to Blaisa's nine o'clock as she had her right to the original Souji's back. "Come, he's exactly thirty meters before me. And I mean exactly. Make sure that your aim is true. Need you do send something fast and powerful at him." He would say to Blaisa, assuming there was a third one on the field. He would behind to dart in its path at a speed of 70 to match her's. His eyes focused and locked onto it. He would act as her eyes and defence, guiding her along the way towards the imposter. Prepared to counter anything that may emerge from its direction in order to give her a clear path of attack.

Alabaster eyes were keen on the movements of the imposter. The Hyuuga teen would notice exercise of the very same seals that he performed single handed, slightly raising his right brow, he would reduce his pace a bit. Laid before his very eyes, mirrored condensed chakra the size of a baseball. 'Tsk! This guy... He really does know all the techniques I do. What's more, I cannot keep at this level and maintain Blaisa's security...its going to cost me.' He stressed mentally. Upon releasing his orb at the exact same time as the other he would extend his left hand out before the face of Blaisa to command her halt. The moment that she would see this, his same hand would commence at a speed of 99 in her immediate direction, his body following. His hand would find contact on her right shoulder, feeling to swiftly tuck into her collar near her neck - once his body was abaft of her he would yank her using his speed momentum to cut her path and drag her back with all of his might, adding his right hand after placing the handle of the weapon between his teeth and lips with the blade pointed towards the right of him. He would pull her a total of 8 meters to create distance before the two blasts.  

Upon their collision it was enough to destroy the leaves and a few branches from the very trees that surrounded them. As they grew in range even the snow underneath them was melted from the condensed heat of their chakra. The explosion was enough to have a shockwave that would spread any leaves and weak branches giving clear view in that 10 meter meeting point. Souji, managing to avoid the range of the blast at a distance of 7 meters, simultaneously as the imposter managed to push back 15. He would come to a stop, not before sliding to a gradual stop, he was not 40 meters away from the imposter with his eyes fixed on him. Using his right hand, removed the kunai from his mouth.  "Blaisa... are you okay?" He would inquire with her at his left, still within his grasp, but only his left hand now seeing as he released her from his added right, eventually releasing her from his left as well.  

Souji would take note in the subtle increase in the core of the imposter. "I see..." He would murmur.  

The clone that was directed with meeting and dispatching the clone that charged in was victorious... the Clone, after dealing with its opponent, would glance over to Blaisa before doing a one eighty to face her. For a mere few moments, it would look her over, calmly looking over towards the original Souji and then the imposter. It would gauge...but what exactly was it gauging? "You're a liability, one that I cannot afford to be burden with. Fend for yourself, girl." It's tone altered, taking a more colder and emotionless base. It would take notice of the seals being formed by tge imposter, simultaneously forming the ram seal, looking to his right scanning a path way, he would notice one clear of impediment - thus he would body flicker a total of 45 meters. Its eyes focused on the original imposter as its was releasing the water jutsu from its person approximately 5 meters from him the moment of it's arrival. At full speed the clone formed seals with one hand, the left hand - with it's right chakra built within the palm, the right leg would slide forward as it thrusted it's right hand towards the imposter. At a speed and power of 105 the compress chakra would manifest from his palm into a vacuum shell of 2 meters diameter and 4 meters length. This technique would immediately soar with not sight of impedance to hinder it, precisely aimed for the imposter using the Byakugan as it's scope the contact point would be the upper body on the left of the imposter. Targeting the area specifically around the heart, lungs and kidney on the left of the spinal cord. Should this land there would be an interruption of the imposter's Vortex, as well a deliver blunt force damage that does the following -  

The first, heavily sending him flying along the carried path of the vacuum shell at a total of 30 meters, or until he crashes or collides with either a tree which will add environmental damage on top, or until the walls of the globe which may possibly do the same as the tree. If there is nothing to stop shorten his launch then he shall go the full meters. Upon being launched the blunt force would do jutsu power damage to the ribs, and left arm breaking 3 ribs that surround the heart, 4 around the lungs, fracturing the spinal cord near the kidney. Possibly causing damage to the left arm as well should it be in the way.   

The second, at this level of control with his technique not only will there be blunt damage, but also vital damage. The imposter would feel their heart, lung and kidney in the left of his body undergoing blunt damage directly. The chakra would heavily send a blow to his lungs to wind him while leading to lightheadedness and cause a rapid increase in his heart rate. To his kidney a contusion that would lead to trauma causing internal bleeding as well as pain and tenderness in that area and discoloration around the kidney on the surface of the skin. To his heart, a disruption of its normal rhythmic beating, forcing the heart beat to grow too fast also a tear in the wall from the force which would also cause bleeding that would be fatal.  

Simultaneously the original Souji noticing the seals being made, be was more than aware of what was to occur next. Stepping before Blaisa he would notice his clone appearing within 5 meters to the left of the imposter. "What? Where is...?" Glancing to his right, he would see that a Blaisa clone was abandoned? This was hazy for him, but yet he had no time to bother. There was a technique on the verge of being spewed. Gauging the chakra build up for the technique Souji knew that his barrier would have been enough to protect him from harm, but not so much from being trapped under it - there was also the case of Blaisa, she wouldn't even see it coming, however she would hear it, Souji knew all too well how strong that tech was going to be. He had no other choice but to meet it full force. He would slide the kunai in his right hand into his weapon pouch. Both of his hands formed individual hand seals simultaneously. With his right locking in the ram seal to spew a mirrored jutsu of the same power of 65 and a speed of 60. The vortex would erupt from his person directed to collide and wall against the vortex rushing in Souji's direction - at the same time that his clone released its attack. The heavily churning body of water would expand fully to 25 meters diameter and also 40 meters in length. The two walls would collide between the imposter and the original, 15 meters before Souji. This would result in a stalemate as the water would crash to the ground creating a large pond-like source of water. Souji continued to watch on.

The final clone of Souji with the original Blaisa would notice something odd... suddenly the last imposter darts from the forest at an uncomfortable pace, the clone would scuff as he wasn't expecting it to use that maneuver to close the distance. Its Byakugan could see the build up in chakra as it got within one meter range of the clone and delivered a sharp thrust...tho this chakra was lacking in build, Souji knew it could have been more, was this a form of decoy? No, not necessarily as the intent was real. The clone would pivot and dart to the left, reaching for Blaisa, managing to grasp her left wrist, but sadly he was not able to pull her in time as the wave of chakra would collide with her and send her flying back up to 20 meters. She was suddenly warped out of the globe, before even hitting 3 meters, and to safety. "BLAISA!!!" Simultaneously the clone clenched its teeth, a sudden rage would take hold of its face as it dragged its eyes to the open imposter at which was only 1 meter before him. Swift and fluid his body stepped to closed the distance as he well within range, his right palm at speed of 79 would crash into the chest of the imposter that was currently open from successful landing its hit on Blaisa. Chakra kneaded in the palm of Souji would release upon immediate contact with the imposter at a power of 92 and a speed of 79 the thrust was so powerful that it would release a screen of chakra that would submerge the imposter in a wave of blunt force. A compliment of this technique is should the attack land the internal organs in the immediate area of the chest would implode under the blunt force trauma of the attack. Should this attack miss, depending on how the imposter moves to manage avoiding, Souji would move simultaneously to the imposter's movement keeping the distance just as is to deliver the second strike that this technique allows ultimately resulting in the same turn out should it land.  

The Original Souji that managed the counter for the water vortex would notice as the Blaisa to his left and then far right would both poof. Notifying him that she was removed from the globe, ultimately setting a rage within him, his Byakugan would hone in on the original imposter to see his turnout.
