The Artist -Private- -Spar-

Kaze had been working on forming a new Katon jutsu when he saw Hideo walk into the training area. Kaze deactivated his Sharingan as he approached Hideo. When he arrived in front of him he said "Welcome to the training grounds Hideo. What would you like to do? Train? Talk? Spar?" Though Kaze had never met Hideo before he knew who he was and didn't like who is was by the way people talk about him.

Kaze didn't care if he was the prodigy because he thought the bigger they are the harder they fall. He decided if Hideo wanted to spar he would not activate his Sharingan through the entire thing even if he was supposed to not hold back. He found it surprising that the Prodigy of Uchiha clan had yet to unlock his Sharingan.

Kaze smiled and said "A spar it is then." Kaze mimicked Hideo's move and backed up to until Hideo stopped. Kaze had been working on a mimicking technique and now he had a chance to test it out. The technique was used to mess with an opponents mind and cause them to make mistakes. This technique can be perfected with the Sharingan, which Kaze had deactivated for the Spar. Kaze wouldn't activate his Sharingan unless Hideo asked him to.

Looking at Hideo through he dark eyes he said "So are we just using taijutsu? Or are we using Taijutsu and Ninjutsu?" Whatever the answer was he would be prepared. He preferred using Ninjutsu over Taijutsu but he had learned some Taijutsu during his academy days.

Kaze nodded and said "Let's begin.". Kaze's mind raced with a number of combinations he could preform. He finally decided to play defensive at first to see his opponents weaknesses. After deciding his plan he moved his arms so that his forearms covered his face. He then moved his right foot forward and positioned his left foot behind him. This stance would give him the ability to establish a pivot foot so he could dodge attacks without wasting too much energy.

Upon getting his his stance he nodded to the Uchiha and said "You get to go first." Kaze thought he was going to be unbeatable with his stance and his speed but he had never gone against someone considered the Prodigal Uchiha.

Using both of his arms he blocked the kick coming at his head but didn't see the punch until it hit him in the side. Grimacing in pain he attempted to grab the leg of Hideo but failed. If his sharingan was activated he could have dodged the attack and hit him with a counterattack but he had decided to fight him without it activated.

Seeing that Hideo took a defensive stance he decided to take the offensive. Kaze sprinted past Hideo only to drop to his right hand and send a kick Hideo's legs and one to his torso. So if Hideo jumped up he would still be caught in the trap.

Seeing he was wide open Kaze thought he would role with it for a while. So instead of dropping his arm so that he fell he followed through with the kick. Kaze gasped as he was suddenly grabbed and slung across the battlefield. As he landed the wind was knocked out of him. He laid there for a second while he waited for his breathe to come back.

If Hideo attacked him he would send an upper kick to try and knock him in the air. He would then jump up above him to preform a downwards kick. Upon landing he would charge Hideo again this time sending a kick to stomach. Both attacks left him open for a counterattack.
