The daylight had almost fully transpired and the last hour of daylight was now burning away into the vast ocean of Kumogakure. This ocean was to Sachio's back as was the Akuma family stronghold he was to be guarding. Rumor has it that a few rookies from their rival clan would be planning a raid this night to steal and covet a large sum of handheld weapons for their own clan. It was obvious what Sachio's job was with that being said. Defend the stronghold. Meech was highly confident in his abilities when it came to combatting other Genin due to all the training he had put himself through over the last couple of days. A strenuous but rewarding session with his sensei Izo in the arts of Kenjutsu. Then back at his clan compound he had practiced and mastered a few new jutsu as well as acquired new enemy.
Stoic and in peak condition, one could feel Meech's confidence swallowing his frame in a flaming aura, he felt unstoppable and was eager to test out his new found abilities. What one would call harem pants shrouded his bottom half in a sandy brown where black shinobi sandals protected his feet and a bit above the ankle. His top half was wrapped in a dark red -maroon- training gi that was a bit open at the chest revealing a fish net undershirt. The Gi was tied at his waist with a black band. It was what he was awarded showing his progress in the clan trials as a Kazan ninja. He still had a way to go, but the Gi itself with the clan crest on the back symbolized he was now seen as a man in the clan.
His kusarigama at his waist the sun was out of sight, but its lasting rays gave the sky a dim glow and in due time two faint silhouettes made themselves visible. The grass was high up to ones waist and Sachio used this opportunity to duck down in the bushels of emerald vegetation. "Hey you see the grass rustling?" One spoke and the other nodded, both arming themselves. One equipped a chain and flail, while the other withdrew two short daggers. "Split." The other nin nodded and like that, they both split and also ducked into the grasses. Damn guess we're playing a hiding game now Sachio thought to himself as he noted the rustling in the grasses. Their target is still the stronghold though, so it'd be best if I just puppy guard until they reveal themselves.
Running back using the grass as cover would still be too risky given it was a two against one and they could have the element of surprise. His hands shuffled together and with that he formed a basic clone in attempt to fool his foes. The clone would stand up tall in the grasses and equip the false kusarigama it had to distract the enemies while Sachio himself retreated to a vantage point. "Don't fall for the clone, he's headed back to the stronghold, chain em!" The enemies eyesight was better than Sachio thought it'd be and they also saw straight through his clone he created, this wouldn't be as easy as he chalked it up to be. The sound of a chain rattling and swinging in the air, shortly after it was twisted around Sachio's frame and he was being dragged towards his captor. In the tall grasses however Sachio wasn't in sight so he used the time lapse to use the Kawarimi technique, but after the use of the rope escape technique.
Freed from his foes grasp and having them both preoccupied with his "capture" Sachio quickly weaved the ram hand sign and Body Flickered to the stronghold in a plume of smoke. Purposely using this plume of smoke knowing it would alert the ninjas he had escaped their bind. Possibly in disbelief the ninja persisted in reeling in his catch to see only a bushel of grass in his grip. In front of the stronghold was a Torii and atop that Torii Sachio stood arms crossed. "Seems like this guy is gonna give us a bit of trouble eh brother?" The ninja stood side by side now, eyeing Sachio from 15m away the tension in the air was pretty abrasive. "You guys can just turn back now and stop this foolish operation. It would save you a lot of trouble and probably a few bruises." Sachio was rarely this zealous, but he felt the need to show some confidence since he was now seen as an adult in his clan.

"Turning back empty handed or by retreating isn't something that flies in our clan. And you returning to yours with a limb or two missing won't be a good look for you either." Sachio was a little shocked to hear how violent the brothers intentions were, but he knew he couldn't expect everyone to be like him, especially when it came to outside of the gates of Kumogakure no Sato. Breathing out a small volume of air, he gripped his Kusarigama and jumped off of the Torii ready to begin his assault. Landing safely, immediately the Genin charged in towards his foes and they did likewise. The flail on one ninja's weapon was swinging as was the sickle on Sachio's weapon. Soon enough the flail was tossed at Sachio who sidestepped it then tossed his own sickle at the flail wielder. The spike on the end of the scythe like blade sailed through the air leading the remainder of the weapon towards the Genin's chest, but sadly the foe jumped in the air to dodge. "You aren't the brightest are ya?" Sachio said as he hoisted his arm upwards and commanded the end of his blade that was avoided to swing up and back towards Sachio. In turn it would wrap around the torso of the raider diagonally like a sash. It was a simple maneuver and highly effective given many found this course of action against a kusarigama acceptable. Tugging on the chain length in his hand, the scythe that had hooked into the flesh of his foe, was forced back to the hand of its wielder. It was a rough journey that involved carving across the chest of the Genin, but it was the price the small lad had to pay. Blood showering the grass and foliage below, the Genin fell to the ground in agonizing pain while his brother stomped and took the sight in.
Meech was more concerned with catching his blade than with the emotions of his second target, but he understood the sight could be quite a rage inducer. With that in mind he entered the Issen Stance, something taught to him by his former sensei Izo Uzumaki who had disappeared under unknown circumstances. The second ninja clenched his teeth tight and soaked in the anger as he silently approached Sachio in a full speed sprint. Though he audibly didn't express his feelings of hate, his spirit screamed at the Kumogakure Genin as he advanced onto his location and swung his first blade at him.
A deafening clang, metal meeting metal, rang throughout the air and a small bit of sparks flew. Then the second blade came down and this time the sound was softer as the blade was blocked with Sachio's chain on the Kusarigama. Breathing in as his fe began to try to back out of the deadlock, the chakra he had stored during his opponents approach was utilized to execute a traditional Issen Stance Technique. Cerberus Fang. Leaning in slightly to replace the space the foe tried to eliminate, Sachio freed his weapon from the guard it assumed and in a flash administered two quick slashes along the targets arms. Blood of course was relinquished from these fresh wounds, but the cry of pain was even more focused on by Sachio. A hint of remorse sat in his gut, but it did nothing to falter him from carrying out the final slash that would streak along the Genin's abdominal. Not only did it create quite the laceration, but it also sent the small teen back a few meters into his own mess.
Swinging his weapon once more to get the blood off, Sachio returned it to his hip along with the chain length and flail as he approached the newly wounded enemy. His shadow hanging over the boy like the reaper himself, his foe tried to raise his arms to defend, but couldn't from the effects of Cerberus Strike. "Your arms are done for for the time being, return back to your stronghold with your brother. Don't come back or next time things will have to be worse." Robbing both of their weapons, Sachio left them in the field of the Akuma stronghold and went about the rest of his day.

Jutsu Used:
Name: Issen Stance Rank: A Type: Kenjutsu Used For: Defensive Element: - Range: - Duration: - Hand Seals/Charge up: 1Post Charge Description: After gathering enough chakra in their sword, the user maintains a ready stance until their opponent strikes at them. Then, using incredible speed and focus, the user rejects their attack with a powerful parry or dodges it with great speed and reflexes. The user then attacks the opponent with the strength of the given attack combined with their own strength. Even without chakra, the attack is devastating and nearly impossible to defend against, slicing the stunned target almost immediately after their attack.
With enough practice in both sensory and chakra control, the user can now attack multiple enemies with this technique. After slicing into the inital target, the user can use the momentum of the attack and their chakra to locate and slash into another target with the same degree of energy and keep going until all opponents are cut down. This stance can be trained to unleash an array of post-defending attacks. This fighting style is best used when either against a horde of enemies or up against one powerful enemy who is on the offensive. Unlike most kenjutsu styles, this fighting style is based on countering the opponent with a weapon, not the weapon itself. That being said, this fighting style can be used with a myriad of weapons, from clubs, tonfa, nunchaku, daggers, and even one's bare hands if done correctly. While blocking attacks the user of the Issen Stance uses the momentum from the attack that they block as their own increasing their movement speed by one tier. Weakness:
If a target possess a dōjutsu, they could see their own attack countered and return the counter accordingly. Can't take the first strike when using this stance. It can be used against more defensive fighters, but they could have enough speed to counter their own attack and counterattack in return, leaving to a deadlock
Taijutsu Master can counter the counterattack that the Issen allows leaving a deadlock.
Name: Issen: Cerberus Fang Rank: C Type: Kenjutsu Used For: Defensive | Offensive Element: - Range: 3m Duration: - Hand Seals/Charge up: 1Post Charge [From Issen Stance Activation] Description: This is a basic Issen Stance technique and is usually one of the first learned during advanced training. However, it is very useful in close battles. After gathering enough chakra, the user awaits their opponent's attack while in Issen Stance. Upon rejecting or dodging their target's attack, the user unleashes three chakra-augmented slash attacks upon the target in just over a second. Despite its basic appearance, this attack serves great purpose. The first two attacks disable the muscles in the arms, weakening their strength and their ability to weave hand seals and the last slash knocks the opponent back and culminates all of the attacks damage at once. This is a great way to turn the tide of the battle or exploit openings. The slashes are the same size as the weapon the user is using and moves at the Issen Stances enhanced speed, which is equal to +1 buki tier. Weakness:
Requires Medic basic to disable muscles simply due to needing to knoww here to hit the body. Can't make initial strike Chakra Remaining: 72.5
