Sandaime: Where you are going my friend, you wont need to know my name.. let alone waste time informing you of my name.
I smirk as I stare at you mildly curious & amused at your ability to manipulate wind to allow yourself levitation. While we stare at each other for what seems like ages but is only a mere minute, the water below us has finally disappeared beneath the ground. Raising my hand I simply create within my grasp, a double-bladed staff from my iron sand.
Quickly glancing to the floor below, I motion with my head to the ground as I continue to stare at you...
Sandaime: One last request before we get this battle truly started, please engage me within hand to hand combat.. just so I may test out your strengths with a weapon?
Slowly releasing the floating cloud holding me up and I fall gracefully to the ground. Now standing upon the floor, I havn't taken my eyes off you once & the smirk is still upon my face.
Sandaime: If you fail to carry a weapon, I shall provide you with one also if you like?
