Minato Namikaze vs. Taimoshi Uchiha

(Wtf? My opponent gets to decide the arena? Where has all the love gone? xO)

A lone figure walks up to his opponent, him separated from Minato by a few yards. In his hand, he holds a simple shuriken. He needed make no mistakes, or else the Yellow Flash will take him down in a heartbeat. He stood there, staring at his opponent, and hoping he could last long. The Fourth.., but how? Many stories tell of great sacrifice..., especially the life of his. Yet, they are only books; which were changed to protect his image; leaving another shinobi to take his place. He thought to himself, waiting for Minato to make the first move.

He stands there, feet firm, eyes following Minato as good as they can without the Sharingan activating. He prepares his Shuriken for launch, going to attempt using it as a distraction. "This should be interesting..., the pleasure is mine, Yellow Flash," He told his opponent as he prepared to attack when Minato was in range of a direct attack. That speed of his..., I may not be able to match it, but I might be able to use it against him.. He told himself with positive tone.

It was time for his backup plan. He released Fire Chakra into the air that was surrounding him, manipulating the Fire Chakra to rotate around him with the air. This made a blaze of Fire become a Hell-fire in seconds. This would inturn burn Minato to a certain degree, and hopefully make him backoff until Taimoshi made it stop. I hope that worked. I- it has to work! I don't know what he's doing... but he's definitly trying to hurt me! He won't get me! I'll show him what skill I have! He thought to himself as he did it. He could only watch to see if his technique had worked how he wanted it to.

Gathering their chakra into the air and having it spin around them, a
flaming whirlwind emerges around the user forming somewhat of a
protective barrier. Normally it is used to deter the opponent fromm
continueing their taijutsu attack, but can be used offensively to send
an opponent whom prefers close range a good distance away because of
its spinning force.

Taimoshi quickly made the Bird Handseal, and was able to escape the Great Fireball via low level Shunshin. As he escaped, a bright light could be seen in the distance, it being Electricity from where he got off. His body had some smoke coming off it, which Taimoshi got rid of to mask his location. While unseen, he went off to the nearby lake, a plan ensuing. He waited there for Minato, knowing he'd come at the right moment because of his speed. Taimoshi was for once the Cat, and Minato was the Rat. The trap was set.

He smiles. That can't be him... Only a rookie would think of making a Direct Attack. Something's not right. He thought to himself. He took out more shuriken, throwing one at him, to both sides of him, and holding one. It was a perfect maneuver. Some would be a distraction, but the others could hit. Same with vice versa. He waited for Minato's reaction, anxious to see what he'll do.

He grabbed your hand as you did, the shuriken whose hold was through his finger seeping deep down Minato's flesh, eventually hitting him in the bone. If possible, it could've fractured a finger bone, but was most likely to just leave a deep womb. That should keep him from using Two-Handed Jutsu... He told himself. He would then set himself free, a grin on his face. He would leap backwards, Sharingan Tamoe One blazing into his pupils, him deciding to take the fight up a notch. "Speed is your primary subject in battle, correct?" He asked his now wounded opponent.

"It seems... after all these years... a Former Hokage took the wrong path. If you're going to make threats, and even plan to kill me with that, than fine. I surrender. But... sometime soon we will have this fight again, and only the True Shinobi will win." He said to Minato. He grew hate over this past Hokage. Was this what Hokage were like? They were acting like scum. At least the Fourth was. He didn't feel like wasting his last seconds of life being killed by no-good scum. So... he for-fitted. Game. Over.

"No... I need no explanation. Your actions tell it all..." He told Minato with a sigh.

Taimoshi takes the arm, not the hand, seeing it would hurt him if he shook that hand. Afterwards, he backed off, and looked off into the horizon. He stood there, sighing, and wondering what would happen if he didn't surrender.
