Rio vs Konzen

The surrounding forest showed little life as most of it had hid itself after the sounds of a battle Rio had just engaged in and won leaving his opponent barely alive. The battle was effortless for Rio and had surely proven to his opponent how strong Rio was. Rio walked through this forest that had been disturbed and soon came out to a large clearing. Rio stepped forward a bit then stopped to gaze up at the clouds passing above in the sky. Rio decided to stay here and regain what little energy he had just wasted in his battle.

Konzen had been waiting for a strong warrior that his scouts had reported to be in the area, and now he had just presented himself to him. Gazing upon him with quiet, cold, eyes Konzen took in a deep breath. Exhaling silently he moved through the trees towards the clearing, stopping just out of earshot. Taking out his flute, Konzen dropped to the ground, his long black cloak fluttering around him as he floated to the ground, making as much noise as a leaf that had fallen from a tree. His hood concealed all but his eyes as he raised the wooden instrument to his lips and stood up, gazing into the distance at the figure sitting there. He began to play an old tune, taught to him by his mother as he walked forward slowly, the music dancing from the end of the flute to the branches of the trees, around them and off of the bright green leaves. Through the shafts of golden sunlight that littered the muddy floor that slowly became more and more charred. Soon, the forrest around him died quickly, and the music took on a more sombre tone and pace, the golden sunlught no longer danced with the music, but watched on in reserved silence as it weaved its way slowly towards the ears of the warrior.

All the while, Konzen never took his eyes off of the enemy.

Rio tunrs to face the direction of the music that suddenly began. His eyes fell upon a cloaked figure walking towards him and playing a flute. Rio simply watched as the figure came closer. Watching him for any sudden moves and shifting his cakra in such a way that would prevent this ninja from casting a genjutsu on him with his flute. Rio saw only his eyes beneath this figures hood. Rio waited and listened to the music being played keeping his eyes on its player not letting a single action go by unnoticed.

Konzen stopped just at the edge of the clearing, the warrior had surely noticed something. Putting his flute away quickly within the folds of his long cloak he looked at the ninja, observing him silently and waiting to see what would happen. Breating deeply, he kept his icy blue eyes on the ninja, tightening his fists underneath his cloak and readying his leg muscles to jump away quickly at the first sign of troubble. All the while, dark clouds approached and began to eat away at the sunlight that flooded the clearing.

Rio stood there and saw as the flute in the man's hands turned into two swords. Rio had clearly just dispelled a genjutsu cast on him. Rio decided to test this ninja before him. Moving fast Rio's hand met with his sword's sheath and quickly unsheathed it and released a blade of wind chakra which flew at the ninja at a speed most regular ANBU would find difficult to avoid.
