@Hadachi @Reptilian

Kaede faces his opponent while stretching his arms in front of him with intertwined fingers before cracking his knuckles brining his puppet in front of him.
"You ready, bro?"

Hadachi Futenken adjusted the headband strapped to his right shoulder, "Yeah, I'm ready." he affirmed as he slipped sideways into his fighting stance.

The young genin glared at the puppet, "You use puppets, huh... you must be really talented." he said as he watched the cloud ninja carefully.

The mist ninja took three shuriken between the fingers from his left hand, "Anyway, let's begin." he said as he threw the three shuriken towards Kaede, gauging his reactions.

The cloud nin twitched his fingers causing the puppet to backhand the three shuriken while also releasing the two chained sickles.
"Most people think of us as cowards for hiding behind them. So thanks, it's refreshing to hear that."
The goat-man puppet throws the left sickle high into the air, pulling on the chain causing the sickle to whip down towards the younger boy.

Hadachi barely had time to react to the sharp edge of the sickle, he resorted to his kunai as the only realiable means of defense given the situation; the mist ninja held the kunai high and horizontally while lunging left, the sickle shook the kunai as sparks flew momentarily.

The young genin followed the lunge with a running motion, "He's very accurate, even from that range." he reflected, realizing his dark grey linen attire was cut by the sickle, it almost slashed his arm off completely.

The piece of linen flew gracefully towards the ground behind him, "I'll have to see what he does when I get close." he thought as he sprinted towards Kaede, kunai in hand.

The mist nin was closing in quickly Kaede began to think of what he should do... bingo!
The puppet pulled on the left chain again wrenching it back towards both the opponent and the puppet before spinning the puppet making a whirlwind of chain while ducking to the ground to avoid his own attack.

Hadachi was surprised by the maneuver, "Damn!", was all he could think as the spinning sickles rapidly closed in. He did not have time to react, the left sickle cut him on the left elbow as he lifted his arm up in defense, dashing towards the puppet.

As he fell down to the ground to avoid further injuries, the mist ninja grabbed an explosive tag with his right arm and stuck it to the chain that hit him, "I hope this works." he thought, knowing fully that the explosive tag had a chance to be loose before it did anything.

Beneath the whirlwind the genin rolled on his own blood, his left elbow flaring from pain. With his right arm, he grabbed and threw two shuriken towards Kaede, who was also on the ground.

Seeing the blood Kaede would think -Shit, did I go too far?- Noticing the ninja had thrown more shuriken he would disregard the thought, stop his puppet's rotation, shorten the chains and bring the puppet down to protect him.
The boy would catch a glimpse of the paper bomb just before it along with the chain retracted into the torso.
"Shit" Panicked Kaede would try to throw the puppet at the opponent and jump back.

Hadachi Futenken noticed the cloud ninja's maneuver as he stood up, "The whole thing is gonna explode!" he hurried and quickly focused his wind affinity to his feet. "My wall would be useless here, I need to get away!" he thought as the puppet was flung in his direction, he turned his back on the incoming threat.

Hadachi performed Fuuton: Tsukisasu Hari (Wind Release: Lunging Hand); with a wind release, his feet created a gush of air that flung him forward and upward, his body used and strong enough to adjust itself while on the air, although he made a small trail of blood during it.

No more than a second passed and the puppet exploded vividly; an orange burst of fire and smoke, pieces of the former puppet fell from the sky. The crowd's roar of excitement was even louder.

"aww man." Kaede said as he watched his only puppet go out in a bang. Literally. After a few seconds of mourning the boy would use his chakra strings to grab the disembodied head and one of the sickles with a small amount of chain still attached. Kaede brought the sickle closer to him so that he was holding it in his right hand and controlling the goat head with the left.
"Still wanna fight?"

Hadachi's feet met the ground, "Ah... that was supposed to blow the chain up, not the whole puppet... sorry." he said with an apologetic tone. He grabbed a piece of his own ninja attire and improvised some sort bandage to cover up his left elbow injury; the pain still flared, but he was getting used to the unconfortable sensation.

"Here's my idea," the young genin started, "we can keep fighting untill one of us falls to the ground." he slipped into his fighting stance. "It will be like sparring, we're here to learn from each other anyway." he ignored the odd looks from the crowd.

The mist ninja ran towards Kaede, kunai in hand. "Flood the mind with information and the body with effort!" he yelled in a good disposition, he had always enjoyed training.

The remainder of the match consists of the two shinobi sparring valiantly. Without his puppet Kaede becomes overwhelmed by the Taijutsu expert. The referee steps forward, "Winner is Hadachi Futenken!"
