With the announcement of the upcoming chuunin exams, the training grounds, were bustling with activity. Currently experienced instructors oversaw the progress of the trainees, offering guidance, expertise, and pushing them to their limits. All in hopes they'd perform well, showing Suna was still strong despite the recent invasion. The sound of kunai clashing, jutsu being unleashed, and the whispers of wind and sand filled the air, creating an atmosphere of determination and growth.
Mimi herself was locked in combat against her own spirit twin, sparring with the four armed assassin. By competing against an ancient being with mounds of combat knowledge and experience she was positive she would see rapid improvement. Though she was stronger than him in this world, she limited herself to using the bare minimum power to succeed against him. Leimine carefully assessed her opponent's unique advantage: four powerful limbs capable of launching attacks from unexpected angles. She knew that her agility and quick reflexes would be crucial in countering Azir's multiple limbs. With a focused gaze, she took a deep breath, centering herself in the midst of the swirling sands.
Azir, adorned in sand colored garb that seemed to blend with the surrounding dunes, studied Leimine with a piercing gaze. Each of his four arms flexed in anticipation, his fingertips crackling with suppressed energy. "Come on show me something worth while. Or do you plan to make a disgrace of yourself again?" He taunted trying to get under her skin and reveal an opening. He knew the girls biggest weakness was her will. She struggled to face her fears and doubts and ran from them like a whipped dog, tail between its legs. If he could unnerve her, she'd be at his mercy.
Leimine let his barbed words roll off her like sand, she knew she couldn't afford to underestimate him. Any opening or sign of weakness would be an invitation to be attacked. Every strike had to be precise and calculated. Without any warning, Azir launched himself forward with, his limbs shifting and intertwining in a mesmerizing display of agility. Leimine skillfully dodged his initial flurry of attacks, fluidly moving between the oncoming limbs.
The young kunoichi retaliated with a series of swift and powerful kicks, aiming to disrupt Azir's balance. Her strikes were met with a complex web of parries, as Azir deftly defended himself with a combination of precise blocks and evasions. His four arms moved in perfect synchrony, displaying years of honed expertise. As the spar continued, Leimine recognized the need to adapt her tactics. She relied on her natural agility and speed, darting around the battlefield with the grace of a desert breeze.
She used the terrain to her advantage, grabbing and throwing sand towards the spirit's eyes to blind him. Azir, however, was not one to be outmaneuvered easily. He anticipated Leimine's tactics, countering her sand with acute focus and keen observation. When her hand released the sand he spun 360 degrees protecting his eyes and connecting of his fist to her cheek.
Leimine refused to be discouraged. She began using her sand style techniques aggressively, retaliating with a series of quick seals then expelling a cloud of sand from her mouth towards Azir. The shifting sands obscured his vision, forcing him to rely on instinct and heightened senses. Leimine seized the opportunity to cast another jutsu molding the sand around her fist before striking with a swift barrage of precise attacks aimed at exploiting any vulnerability.
