Welcome to Gaia! ::

Both Onis had jumped away from the attacks. Oni was a range fighter and could easily spot the attack coming. They landed at the same time and even if none of them made a move that would tell Yoh who was who. The real Oni was building up chakra so that he could use his jutsus in a rapid sequence. Both Onis looked towards Yohs face, to try and read him.

Oni made a series of back flips as he tossed needles. Always 3 needles coming at 12.5 degrees angle from the center needle that went straight towards Yoh. The clone jumped in front and puffed into smoke so he would hide needles within it. This was to surprise Yoh and to keep his distance. To keep his rage going, anger made on take chances. It made one ignore danger and it was Onis plan. He knew Yoh disliked Oni most in the village or in Yohs top 5.

Oni just smiled as he jumped to the side getting away form the needles. This fight had ended up at his turf and he was far better on range then Yoh. This was tactics. Use your advantages to the max and don't get challenged into a losing battle. He kept his distance using basic acrobatics. He threw away needle after needle in waves to try and get Yoh to run so he wouldn't get to him straight lines. He was almost there Onis eyes tracked Yohs eyes so that he would be able to follow his movements. When he could read Yohs eyes he would get small clues to his attacks.

Oni pulled out several new needles from his hair and made them harder as he kept his eyes towards the tree. Always take time to resuply. Now he needed to apolegize and thank his sister. Oni had his back towards the arena wall, Yoh couldn't attack from behind and Oni looked at the tree where Yoh had taken cower. It was a strange move from Yoh that Oni knew of.

Oni didn't move around. He just kept going on making the needles hard. Thanks for Yoh giving him the time he had filled his supply again. He didn't know what Yoh's game was but he did not planned on playing with it. Yoh had the advantage in an attack. If Oni would have gotten explosive tags he could with some time blow the tree up. Yet now he had none. Throwing a bunch of needle into the tree would end up with Oni out of needles, for the moment. A atatck would just lead Oni to have no idea who the real Yoh was. That would also be to Yohs advantage. "Bunshin no Jutsu!" 4 more clones stood there next to Oni. Patient wasn't his best store but now he could prove that he could wait for the opertune moment.

Oni didn't do anything. He sat down and relaxed. Molded some extra chackra, he wasn't going to attack the tree untill he knew how to do it perfectly. "Yoh! You're are truly a naiv person. Why would I waste needles on clones in a tree when you can just make new ones? I do not think you waste any chakre at all when creating clones and I hope I do not have more needles then you have chakra or you truly are the weakest ninja of Kumogakure. Not to mention you where the one talking about close combat." If he only had a fire jutsu of some kind.

Oni raised his left arm above and next to his head. Oni then tapped the wall behind his head. "I do remember a small child but not that thin!" Was the answer as he didn't know any one in Kumogakure that could walk through walls. That a genin could do such was then out of question. He had the advantage by the fact Yoh was a close quarter fighter and there was serious range between them now. A way Oni planned to fight through. Kaede could call him a coward but he felt no reason to fight close with any one at this point.
