Saito Hajime (Dragon of the North)

post your bio and i will make the first move.


On a pillow meant for kneeling, the same that would be used when eating before a low Japanese dining table, there was a man in a traditional casual samurai attire sitting still. His eyes were closed his hands were placed on his thighs and his head was bowed in a meditative fashion. This was Saito's way of waiting, as he anticipated a shinobi he invited to his castle in the land of iron. He wasn't for a job or an assasination attempt to a great leader, which would be the traditional reasons a Kodenbushi, or a Samurai general would call a ninja to their castle. This particular instance is strictly for his own personal training, but for now there is another lesson he is training to learn. That was the lesson of patience as he waited for the shinobi to appear before him.​

As the ninja appears before him, Saito opens his eyes while he lifts his head out of the bowing position to look toward his opponent. as he noticed the ninja before him, the one thing that immediately stood out to Saito was his eyes. Saito had noticed that they were pupiless just like his comrade. He easily concluded that his opponent was a Hyuga. He knew that this was gonna be a great learning experience for him.

Neji has a katana strapped to his back and two tanto strapped to his hip.

Walking through the tall doors that led Neji into a large wooden room filled with various mounted blades and amour that would belong to samurai, the first thing he would see is a man that seemed to be a bit older him, kneeling on a small pillow. It looked as if the person was doing nothing but sleeping, before Neji notices him lifting up his head to acknowledge his presence. The young Hyuga smiles, and speaks up. "Hello there, are you waiting for someone to show up, or was it simply me you were expecting?"

As the ninja was speaking to Saito, Saito rises from his pillow onto both of his feet. As he rises to his feet he reveals both his katana and his wakizashi hangin from his sash by his right hip. He lets his hands grip each other as he was standing before him. He then bowed in a humble fashion while speaking to the shinobi.

Saito: it was you that I was waiting for. I wanted to spar with you to study you and learn more of ninja. I maybe in my years and have fought in many battles but my Life is a Journey of knowledge. As long as i am living i am learning.

At that moment Saito reaches for his katana with his left hand and draws his blade before taking the proper ready stance. He grips the Handle of the Katana with his left hand closest to the tsuba and places his right hand closest to the hilt of the handle. he then places his sword in a position when the end point of the blade is at eye level at an angle of 45 from his body. Saito then spread his footing shoulder's width having his left foot forward, knee slightly bent and toes facing the opponent with his right leg behind with his foot positioned towards the right.

Saito: Now lets began our Sparring match!

Watching the man stand up, Neji could already tell that something is about to go down. As the adversary would unsheathe his blade, the Hyuga smirks in excitement, "Your name?" Getting ready to prepare for the imminent face-off as well, Neji lifts up his right arm and firmly grasps the hilt of his katana & brings it in front of him. After doing so, he would then get into his Kenjutsu stance: Neji's torso is leaning forward a little bit, his katana is being held with both hands with the blade slightly dipped, his left leg is behind him [with the knee is bent], and his dominant right leg is in front [it is straight, kind of going diagonal]. Taking his left hand off his katana's tilt for the moment to gesture said hand to signal for the man to come forth.

the moment Saito notice the ninja take his stance, Saito takes a second to points his blade straight up before his face while its in a bow'd position and mumbled a quick prayer while storing chakra within his sword. from there he quick steps forward while lifting his right hand off of the handle but still keeping it hovering close to it. once he gotten within range of the ninja he makes a swift downward diagonal swing of his sword inward from his left at his opponent's neck height.

from there he made a coherent swift upward vertical swing just below his opponent's shoulder to literally disarm him, cutting off the arm which held the blade in his hand. After making those two swings which took no more than a second and a half to make he then grab hold of his scabbard with his right hand and sheath his katana with his left hand before turning back to the pillow and kneeling and returns back to his meditative state.

Saito: I'm the lone wolf and the Land of Iron's Dragon of the North, Saito Hajime. Too bad you wont live to tell anyone of my name or this battle.
