Note: I apologize for the wait, I was going to attempt to release my chapters weekly but it took longer as my new job has been devouring me lol Anyways, I hope ya'll enjoy! 
__________________________
Yasu: (In thought) The Yuki Clan, these are very powerful individuals...I think I can defeat the other one but I'm just unsure about-
Rafu: (Screaming) Koori, you fraud! I'm going to gut you as well!!!
Koori: That is wishful thinking.
Several hand seals are formed as Yasu readied his next attack.
Yasu: (Shouting) Suiton: Touketsu Kiri! (Water Release: Freezing Mist)
Chakra imbued water is expelled from his mouth as it instantly transforms into frigid ethereal vapor which rapidly surrounds the immediate area.
Koori: (In thought) That technique.
A shadowy afterimage is all that could be seen of Koori in the now icy atmosphere and the malignant Rafu decided to face his opponent head on rather than back off. He quickly sheaths his bladed weapon and began to intertwine his fingers to invoke a technique. Although, the frosty cloudy air almost immediately makes contact with him. As a result, his body’s mobility becomes constricted before he is able to complete the proper hand seals. With the successful initiation of his plan, another technique follows in suit.
Yasu: Suiton: Shiomizu no Jutsu! (Water Release: Brine Technique)
Bursts of high-sodium chloride, chakra infused, liquid is expelled from his mouth as it swiftly soaks the swordsman youth who was unable to escape quick enough.
Rafu: (Screaming) YOU BAST-AHHH!!!!!
Excruciating wailing abruptly ceases as the Kiri student succumbs to death via the sweltering acrid liquid.
Yasu: (In thought) Yes! I’ve caught onto your location Ao...I just hope somehow you’ve survived. I’ll be there as soon as I can!
Proceeding to locate his best friend, he began heading south. Koori then flashed through his mind which caused concern though, he had a more pressing matter to attend to. Another thought then flashed his mind. There were still remaining students out there who could be just as or even more formidable than Koori and waiting for the chance to lash out with Ao at their mercy. His worries were quickly becoming distressing as the minutes passed. He knew he had to be vigilant and silent as to not alarm any other student that may be nearby though fortunately for him, his sharp perception lessened his endeavor. His worries only continued to escalate as time passed. Multiple fatal scenarios, playing over and over in his head, only further disturbed Yasu.
Yasu: (In thought) Shit! I sense Koori’s chakra approaching, this was the last thing I needed right now! Ao should be hidden but at least where I’d know...
Suddenly, his eyes sprung open as they come into view with an almost horizontal large bright white hued beam that misses his body by a few seconds due to his excellent perception. The blast pierces through the rocky contour of a nearby mountain; exiting into the ground and causing the large mass to freeze over. A dodging Yasu hadn’t even landed yet from the frontal attack, when another assault commenced; this time from the rear as Koori claps both hands.
Koori: Fuuton: Kyouretsuna Hiryuu no Tsubasa. (Wind Release: Shattering Wyvern Wing)
Chakra is then released from one of his fingertips as it materializes into a rather large wyvern covered in razor sharp scales, from head to its barbed tail.
Koori: I said my secret dies with you as well so I never fled when we were interrupted...I was close by, eyeing you and biding my time for the right opportunity to strike.
Yasu: (In thought) He’s the most fearsome person I’ve ever faced! I still don’t know if I can win against him but somehow, I have to!
A fully formed wyvern suddenly rockets in Yasu’s direction as all he could do from that point on was to continuously use his respective village’s Shunshin (Body Flicker) to evade the devastating blows. He managed to avoid the jet-like speeding winged chakra entity for a few moments as it with its sheer velocity ended up smashing several times into the nearby mountain. Gales produced by the airborne animated energy sent earthly materials and wisps of green scattering about. The youthful sensor finally decided to enact a counter in the form of seven hand seals.
Yasu: (Shouting) Futton: Zou no Dangan Kyuusokuna Kasai! (Boil Release: Elephant Bullet Rapid Fire)
A fearless Koori, rather than attempt to evade, invokes a technique of his own.
Koori: Hyouton: Hyougan Doumu. (Ice Release: Ice Rock Dome)
Steam in a bullet-like form, fire in quick succession towards Koori, who forms a single seal as icy wind suddenly appears in his immediate area. The glacial dome was able to withstand the sultry assault for several moments but soon it’s almost impenetrable defenses began to falter.
Koori: My defense...
Suddenly several shuriken launch towards the sensor by the Yuki male who abruptly appears via a Yuki Shunshin no Jutsu (Ice Body Flicker Technique). Outstanding perception however, grants Yasu evasion as he is able to avoid the sharp petite instruments.
Yasu: (In thought) A Shunshin of his clan and he can use this basic technique seemingly better than I can, shit...he really is skilled beyond his years but...I’m no pushover!
A couple hand seals are formed as vibrant red-orange liquid is then expelled from Yasu’s mouth as it quickly molds into three clones via his Futton Bunshin no Jutsu (Boil Clone Technique) which are commanded after the Yuki male. Unfazed, Koori then reveals a kunai in each hand as he readies himself for the frontal attack. As he commences to do battle with clones, he able to take two out fairly quickly. As they begin to burst, the third one immediately makes touch contact as it too explodes with each releasing a surge of luminous blood orange hued piping and bubbly fluid toppling over the Yuki youth. Ample masses of vapors is produced as Koori then appeared standing top-right against the mountain that had been partially blown apart via the chakra under his sandals. The two boys then quickly lock eyes intensively which revealed that Koori didn’t escape unscathed as he received a fraction of the bubbling blast. Second degree burns etched into the upper left hand side of his chest, just above the left hand side of his waistline and below his right hand side chest area. And yet he never displayed any sort of emotional suffering. Their eyes then lock intensively. Both boys continue to stare at one another for another moment breathing heavily due to depleted chakra. This fierce standoff is then broken by the Yuki student who invokes a technique as Yasu conjures his own.
Koori: Hyouton: Maboroshi Shiroi Senkou. (Ice Release: White Flash Phantom)
Almost instantly, Koori weaves the hand seals for Lightning Release as lightning chakra combines with the algid stream; revealing not only that he could already perform a Yuugoujutsu (Fusion Technique) but also possessed a fourth chakra nature; transforming the technique into Raiton: Raisetsu (Lightning Release: Thundersnow).
Yasu: (Shouting) Futton: Akai Wakusei! (Boil Release: Red Planet)
A single coral-like tinted bubble consisting of boiling hot liquid is blown from Yasu’s mouth as it rapidly increases to about sixteen or so feet in height and in width. It then launches with a violent force as he stretches both his arms before him, not only to guide but to restrain the technique. The two tremendous techniques then clash within seconds. With each technique now connected, both youths struggle to best one another. Unexpectedly, a third party appears and intercepts the battle via an attack of their own in an attempt to take them both out. The sensing youth felt the approaching presence, prompting him to cease his onslaught and escape via the Kiri Shunshin no Jutsu (Mist Body Flicker Technique). A bright light glazed over Koori’s visage, his eyes beginning to expand as the intruders technique then brings about an immense explosion. This potent outburst causes the already damaged mountain to demolish and devastation amongst the surrounding land with a densely layer of debris. Gradually, the detritus began clearing up with the occasional winds that blew through.
Yasu: Coughing
?: (Lowered tone) Are you okay?
Yasu was successful in his Shunshin (Body Flicker), although in the instant that he reappears, he was then caught in the blast due to not moving a sufficient distance. His body having taken a beating due to being thrashed about against the ground and his earlier bouts only further added to his distress. There were various bruises and cuts on his face and any other exposed parts of his body. His clothes were torn and he had been knocked out for an hour or so. He was even unable to speak due to the uncontrollable wheezing in which he doubled over, hoping for his symptoms to subside.
Yasu: Coughing.....panting
?: (Lowered tone) Easy now.
Yasu: Panting
?: (Lowered tone) Take it easy...
The violent coughing and heavy breathing then began to diminish.
Yasu: (Lowered tone) I thought you were dead. Pant
His cold comment was done in order to trigger any form of anger as he felt his demure friend needed to be awoken or else he wouldn’t stand a chance at survival.
Ao: (Lowered tone) I...II..II’ve been in hiding ever since you told me to run and somehow...I found you and moved you here.
Alas, the adolescent sensor figured his response would be nothing more than cowardice. On the other hand, Ao did in fact feel his friend’s callous demeanor but knew that this was solely, his grim persona.
Yasu: (Lowered tone) Do you have any idea how long I was out for since you found me? Pant
Ao: (Lowered tone) ...Twenty minutes or so, I’m not exactly sure.
Yasu: (Lowered tone) I see, are you sure this is-
Ao: (Lowered tone) I..It’s okay for now I think but we should probably get going soon.
Yasu: (Lowered tone) Right, well I’m surprised that you-
Ao: (Lowered tone) I know...but you’re my friend, I..I wasn’t going to just leave you out there in the open if I could help it. You’re the only friend I hav-
Yasu: (Lowered tone) I understand...listen carefully...I think the best method for us to survive now is for me to use a long range jutsu on anyone within a ten to fifteen or so radius since I’ll be able to scope them out. I know your combat skills aren’t the best but you have to use whatever has kept you alive up until now.
Ao: (Lowered tone) I..I..I’ll try...
Not completely pleased with his answer, he motioned for them to move out. As they moved from one mountain location to another, they kept their eyes and ears as focused as possible.
Yasu: (Whispering) Shit, I sense someone...
Not even five minutes of being on the run and they both were already quietly being approached.
Ao: (In thought) I...I must be strong!
Although he tried with everything in him, Ao just couldn’t shake off that ever consuming fear. Suddenly, out of the misty weather, a shadowy figure proceeds to pounce over Yasu who was in the lead but is instead thwarted by the sensing boy. A brief scuffle ensues with the unknown Kiri student. The assailant thrusts their kunai towards Yasu’s neck which resulted in metal clanging against the alloy clothed around his right forearm which successfully blocked the potential fatal strike. Upon catching the deflected short tool with his right hand, Yasu proceeded to pierce the abdomen of the enemy, followed by slicing the wounded enemy's throat. Blood hastily gushed out onto Yasu’s face as the gurgling male fell forward onto Yasu who then tossed him aside as he hit the ground with his last moments were spent writhing. Partially wiping away the splattered crimson off his visage, he then turned his head to the side as a few words escaped Yasu’s lips.
Yasu: (Whispering) Let’s keep going.
Ao: (Whispering) Okay…
Bright bluish and orange hues began illuminating the land; evidence of dusk.
Yasu: (In thought) Great...the darkness will only further complicate things. We’ve been lucky somehow but I just can’t tell how much longer we can continue this...
They continued making their way through the hazy and dimming land. Minutes later, something comes over the sensor.
Yasu: (Whispering) Stop, I feel several people approaching.
Ao: (In thought) I’m so terrified, I feel like I can’t even move...
It felt to Ao like he’d never again wake from this nightmare.
Yasu: (Whispering) Ao, prepare yourself.
Ao: (Distressed tone) Yy..yyes...
Sensing an even bigger number approaching, a technique is then enacted by the youthful sensor.
Yasu: Suiton: Hashira Hooi. (Water Release: Pillar Encirclement)
Chakra enhanced water is produced orally as it created four pillar-like forms. These masses immediately begin spiraling around the two youths; acting as a barricade.
Yasu: (Whispering) Shit! I sense six of them.
Ao: (In thought) There’s no way we’re going to make it out of this alive!!!
Multiple shuriken then clash against the rotating defensive cascades which quickly proves ineffective.
Kiri student 1: (Shouting) What a shame, with such talent and so foolish to have a friend!
Kiri student 2: (Screaming) Trash like you, shames us all!!!
Kiri student 3: (Shouting) You know, that cover won’t stand up for long, just give up already!
Kiri student 4: (Shouting) But the struggling is the best part! Snicker
Kiri student 5: (Shouting) And the chase always brings about such a thrill but now, I want blood! Snicker
Kiri student 6: (Shouting) You arrogant piece of shit! It’s our turn now to have fun and we’ll just leave the scraps for Isao!
Suddenly, their enclosure becomes bombarded. From the likes of various Suiton, Doton and Raiton techniques all begin to quickly jar their impediment. A few of the attacks, albeit much weaker as a result of coming into contact with the water, were able to penetrate. Yasu hastily blocked Ao and forced them both to the ground. They were able to avoid any incoming strikes; evident of his efficient sensory ability.
Yasu: (Whispering) Ao, just stay down...
A nod from the distraught Ao prompts Yasu to perform two hand seals as a Futton Bunshin (Boil Clone) materializes outside of the pillars. Several more hand seals follow suit as he calls upon a previously used technique.
Yasu: Futton: Zou no Dangan Kyuusokuna Kasai! (Boil Release: Elephant Bullet Rapid Fire)! Panting
Once more, he calls upon his rapidly firing technique as steaming hot bullet-like projectiles discharge this time, from his clone’s mouth. The clone then maneuvers throughout the field, seeking all the present foes via his accomplished sensory abilities as he unleashes blistering projectiles. Numerous sounds follow, indicating the stricken targets. Upon realization, the sensor youth felt confident enough to start moving out.
Yasu: (Whispering) Hopefully...panting..we can find someplace quick enough to rest, you know? Pant
Ao: (In thought) Yasu’s becoming more and more exhausted and I feel powerless to do...anything about it. Gasp!
Suddenly, an overwhelming feeling of uselessness had overcome the boy; it came as a bit of a shock to him. His enlarged eyes could not swell down and allow relief to drift in as he'd usually felt once his best friend dealt with the enemy. The realization of the dread continuing to remain present brought forth an ironic sense of clarity. Whilst these chaotic events were taking place, he had been solely dependent on Yasu. Ao had been dead weight to his friend, almost costing both their lives numerous times and it was almost too much to bear. Yet, as much as his heart ached immensely for everything his friend had done up until that point, Ao simply felt as if he could not efficiently contribute from his end; instead he feared he would only pose more of a hindrance rather than be of assistance. Ao still quietly vexing at his own powerlessness then agrees in the likes of a single nod as they begin making their way onwards.
