This time things were for real, he was already waiting at the arena for the Karagata, he had already told him beforehand that this was going to go down and if this time he didn't bring a sword he would take his as a lesson. Yuuto picked out Amendment from Liberation and ignored to equip his shield and instead took on a wider stance, his sword in hand, speed ready and eyes on the price, he knew that there was no need for formalities, they had already fought once and both knew what was up, the only difference was that this time he was going to deal with the situation differently, he was going to beat him at his own game.
Yuuto wasn't afraid of death, Kozan had proven it to him yet again at the mission briefing, so this was why he wanted to test the situation differently, he was going to use his powers to his advantage, nothing was going stop him now that he knew that he could already win. If everything goes as planned then I might have even ranked up to Jounin, this time Shinjiro is watching, so I have to make him proud, Nishiki is here too, Nozomi... I'll beat him for you, and keep him alive. Yuuto smirked. Mondai, I will finally show Shinjiro that you due have worth, you have trained the next generation to uphold the swords, I hope this inspires you to not give up and become stronger! The Karagata revealed a full-blown grin, yet he didn't his eyes off his opponent, he himself slowly channeled some chakra as he mentally prepared for what Hitachi would do next.
He wouldn't let the same jutsu hit him twice, so he would have to figure out a new strategy for Yuuto was coming for his title, the game was on.

Rapid Deal
S-Rank Maneuver Taijutsu
Yuuto trades 5 posts of +10 speed for -10 Endurance. He leans slightly forward and stays light on his feet, this style allows him to move around with haste and react to strikes that would normally surprise him.
Counter-Strike
A-Rank Stance Taijutsu
Having mastered the art of defending oneself Yuuto has managed to learn the perfect stance to counter foes, he stands in a bit wider stance with one leg behind and hunched a bit forward, his mind at this point also focuses on reading the foe and calculating the best counter move. During this stance, the user has an easier time countering the enemy that doesn't exceed 5+ speed, the crux of this jutsu is that Yuuto focuses on a single target for the duration.
Heroic Focus
B-Rank Discipline
Yuuto focuses on one target and begins to almost tunnel vision, dead set on keeping track of whatever the target attempts to do, by focusing on specific body joints and connections via jutsu, but it comes at the cost that he loses his visual awareness of other enemies, with this jutsu they can spot even foot tracks and make out a makeshift size on those using [Stealth] at this level and lower.
