Kai had just been minding her own buisness when she found herself crossing through the battlefeilds. Starring at some of the fights that was going on she wasn't quite paying attention to the person infront of her until she ran into them. Facing them she gave an innocent smile. "Sorry," she said.

Culiky turned around as he got hit while practicing and waiting on someone to battle perfect, a snow he thought as he saw her head band "So, how nlife in the cold" he smirked, normally he wouldnt be so mean, but he need =ed to fight or his skill would get rusty.

Kai looked hurt. Why was he being so mean to her, she was just a kid. As he asked how was life in the cold she understood clearly what he was getting at. He was a ninja of the Stealth and as far as she knew the Snow was still enemies with the Stealth. Pulling a kunai Kai backed away. Though she was scared she knew that she had to erase all emotions, that was rule number 25 of the ninja way. "Back off," she said. Kai had never fought any ninja by herself before, well besides the war of course, but even there she had friends helping her.

He smirked, knowing he had succeeded "Lets begin, shall we" he said pulling out an large array of weapons, then throwing them in the air, but stopping the using his time technique. he jumped behind his wall of weapons, then hit each of them foward and at the small snow ninja "So, whats your name" he asked as the weapons closed in fast.

Kai jumped back, blocking the weapons with her kunai, but she couldn't keep up. She had only been recently made into a genin. "It's common curtisy to state your name before asking for someone elses," she said continuing to block the weapons.

He smirked as he saw her blocks "In that case, its culiky hour" he said, "now your turn" he said as he stopped her in time and walked up behind her pulled a kunia and put it to her throat "Whats your name" he said restarting time

Kai swallowed when she saw the kunai. She'd never seen him move. Was this what it meant to be a true ninja. "Kai Hatario," she said trembling slightly. This guy had to be about the same age as Kitsra. Was he higher ranked than a Genin? Kai closed her eyes. She had to be strong. Turning around she used her kunai and sliced it across Culiky's chest. She knew it was a risk when he had a kunai to her throat, but she was a ninja and they took risk.

He jumped back just in time to only get a cut in his shirt. "Not bad, but..." he said pulling his kunia across her arm , then stopping time and doing the same to the arm and both leg, but oly cutting enough to cause blood and pain, but not eough to kill, he then backed up and restarte time "I'm better" he smirked

Kai dropped to her knees. She could win like this! This guy was too experienced for her. Making herself stand up she held her kunai in a defensive position. "I'm not giving up," she said. She could atleast survive if she remembered what she'd been taught while she was with Kinaga. "Snow Style: Sub-zero." This jutsu dropped the tempertures of the area to below zero. Usually it wouldn't do damage to Snow ninja because they were used to the cold, but for someone not of the snow, it would slow down their reaction time and sometimes momentarily paralize them.

Culiky felt the cold spread, and knew he had to finish this quickly, or lose, so he summoned his streght and froze her and came up kicked her down and surround her in timefrozen weapon, almost as if a coffin, then he unforze her, but not the weapons "Move and you die" he said "Now, unchill it"

Once again Kai hadn't seen him move. When he told her to stop the jutsu she narrowed her eyes. "I'm a ninja of the Snow, there is no way I'm going to follow your orders," she said. "A ninja does not cower before their oponent." If she was going to die today she'd die then she would die knowing she hadn't given in to this guy. She'd die as a KIA, as a real ninja should.

He narrowed his eyes, seeing she wasn't going to give up, so he flipped on of the weapons and had it's butt end fall on her head so she would be knocked out, and her chakra blow would stop, when he saw it hit her head, he dropped the rest of the weapons, it was now or never, he either had to knock her unconcious and get away, or kill her, and he really didn't want a ittle girl's blood on his hands.

Kai could hear the kunai shift. She had a few options. Get stabbed. Shift into a wolf. Or give up. Plan two it was. Drawing up all her energy she shifted into a white wolf. Breaking through the jutsu she snapped famgs at Culiky. She would not lose!

He smirked at this wolf, time stopped her right in front of him. He picked her up and threw her against a tree, then hit kicked her in the head, then he restarted time and pulled a kunia. "Please be knocked out, i don't wanna kill you."

Kai was a small wolf. A pup actually so the impact was incredibly painful. Shaking her head as time restarted she growled. She didn't want to give up against him. It wasn't in here to just give up. She wanted to prove she was a good ninja. Claws digging into the ground she lowered herself and launched at him.

He didn't even stop time this time, he simply grabbed her and threw her to the ground and hit her straight on the head and the picked her back up and threw her on the ground, hard. "Please stay down, i understand, your tough, but please, if you get back up, i will kill you, and that is something i dont wanna do" he said practically screaming, half crying

(Hehe)

Kinaga sat quietly on one of the branches overlooking the fight. He'd been watching it for quite some time. The boy was a rather good fighter, but regardless, he was only fighting a small child. If the boy decided to actually go for the death strike, Kinaga would step in. He cared too much for his former student to allow her to be killed by someone almost three times her age. What will you do Kai...? Will you stay down this time? he thought quietly.

Kai wasn't feeling up to par anymore. Her head hurt really badly. As Culiky yelled at her to stay down she stood up. "I don't know how to tell you this any other way, but I am a Shinobi, ad I will fight to the end," she said. "You ahve to understand, we're enemies. Your job as a shinobi is to destroy your enimies. If you cannot end me here, then you'll never be able to call yourself a true shinobi," Kai said as she turned back to normal. "There are ninja in the feild who are younger than me, will you faulter to stop them as well, because if so, they won't hesitate to stop you." Kai then pulled out a kunai. Rushing at Culiky she threw the kunai at him and then jumped into the air and kicked him in the side.

He grimaced "Fine" he said as he stopped time, then ran straight at her, he stood right infront of her, reached behind his back and pulled out his sirt form the back and pulled out a sword he had been hiding he took it put it's point to her stomache, then unpaused time "You asked for it" he said as he thrust it forward, hoping someone would stop him

(Hehe...)

As soon as he saw the boy appear in front of Kai with his sword to her stomach, Kinaga'd seen enough. He pulled on of his twin swords off his back and jumped down in front of Kai quickly, parrying the boy's sword blow. "Okay, I believe this's gone far enough. There's no need for a death here," he said calmly.

Culiky saw the man and knew what he was doing "I agree." He said turning and starting to walk away, but stopped, turned his head to the little girl "By the way, the measure of a shinobi isn't his skill to kill, it's his skill to know when to kill" he said somberly, the turned and disappeared

Kinaga nodded slightly at the boy's words. They were very true. He turned to Kai after putting his sword away and smiled at her. "Are you okay Kai?" She looked a little banged up, but other than that he didn't see anything serious.

Kai prepared for the attack without fear when suddenly Kinaga was there. Kai blinked suprised. When did he....why was she so unaware of the people around her. She couldn't sense anything for the life of her! As Culiky spoke to her about killing and knowing when to kill. When he disappeared and Kinaga asked if she was ookay the clone disappeared and Kai stepped from behind a tree. "Just a few cuts and bruises," she said walking over to him. "I was trying to see how he did it, move so fast I mean." Kai sighed. She was beyond tired. "Um, how long were you watching," she asked.

Kinaga smiled brightly when he realized that the Kai he was talking to was a clone. So she has learned... He looked at her when she walked out from behind a tree. "Hehe, the only way someone could move that fast is by manipulating time, or by manipulating space." He smiled when she asked how long he was there. "I believe I came about the time your fight started," he said with a smile. "I'm proud of you. You did well. But...if you're giving a choice between life and death in a fight that doesn't matter, choose life Kai. The shinobi way doesn't always mean dying in battle," he said with a sympathetic smile.

Kai looked at Kinaga as he said the only way was manipulating time or space. Kai looked a bit dumbfounded. "I feel for a cheap trick like that," she mumbled under her breath. She sighed and looked at him as he said choose life over death if given a choice. "I guess I still have alot to learn," she said with a bright smile.
