That's a nice trick... [P]

Clous panted heavily as two shadow clones stood in front of him both holding their own copy of Tatsuma. Clous himself held the real thing in his right hand and took a stance beckoning the two to advance. They both traded glances before charging in and crossing over switching positions.

Clous glared holding his sword out to the side to parry one of the strikes. The second was going to score one hell of a hit. Or rather would have. Clous used the changing stance technique leaving a stump in his place. He stood about a meter away from them. Holding a kunai in his left hand he charged in from behind the two.

Both clones turned quickly to counter his slash. All three clashing weapons. The two clones used their combined strength to push Clous back. He stumbled a bit as he struggled to regain balance while throwing his kunai to no avail. He formed handseals gathering water from the greens all around as he put distance between himself and the clones. He countered his own way with his bursting water collision jutsu.

One wave lashed out at the two while another lifted Clous up into the air. With Tatsuma held high and Hyoutenka flowing through his hands to the blade Clous smirked swinging his sword launching the Hyoutenka wave toward the clones as well from above along their projected path.

The two clones jumped back then up in opposite direction to tree branches. Both forced to move quickly as the sharp waves of chakra cut through where they once were, cutting through the branches. With all the water around the two clones figured this would work to their advantage as well but Clous was way ahead, he would utilize every last drop for his own will. His chakra was already peaking once more.

The wave he stood on crashed down toward the two as he jumped back landing on a branch as he formed handseals and watched his surroundings. A smirk forming as he felt the earth shake. “So soon?” He muttered as he watched the two clones performing ground zero. Clous followed suit and did so himself. He was in full control right now. He never felt so damn good about the fight. He was just flowing at one hundred percent ready to take on the world. The three whirls of chakra collided causing an explosion of chakra sending ice cold water every where and high volumes of wind in every direction flattening the area of the training field they were in.

As the smoke cleared the three staggered. Only Clous coughing as he stood up straight. One of the clones disappeared as the final stood up straight glaring right into Clous’ eyes. “One down, one to go…” Clous sheathed Tatsuma and pulled a kunai free from his pack. The clone doing the same and quickly rushed in. Clous did the same. The two clashed covering a large area as they continued to moved through the training fields ignoreing anyone that could have been out there. IT was almost like both the actual and the clone were out for the others blood. Both trying in earnest to kill the other.

The clone delivered an upward slash which cleaved through Clous’ tactical vest. He jumped back shedding it leaving only his black clothing. Quickly the Clone was on him once more swinging away. Clous side stepped the first swing, and parried the second. The third missed as he dropped to the ground and then pushed up with all of his strength launching himself back to his feet. He responded by driving a kick to the side of the clones head.

The clone staggered back holding its face. Its eyes went wide as his hands dropped. The clone looked down at its chest seeing a kunai plunged deep through the vest. It staggered back slumping back to the tree. Clous took a few steps back beforewalking away as the clone vanished in a puff of smoke.
