Downpour in the North! Josho vs. Senshin!

Senshin Zenniki reached the dark castle island and looked around. ''So, this is an Akatsuki base. Will I find the one who stole Pain-sama's eyes here?''

Feeling a chakra disturb his island, Josho Adashino, feeling lazy, detached the obsidian slab from the main island, and shot it off at igh speeds.

"Wha-?" Senshin quickly leapt off the rogue piece, back onto the main mass, and began running towards the center. "Who's there?"

Josho appeared in front of him like a phantom, his punch hurtling Senshin backwards.

Picking himself up, Senshin took in the cloak with red clouds. "Akatsuki. So, I've found you at last. But you aren't the one... Where is your leader, Seireitou Kawahiru? I am here for him."

Josho laughed incredulously. "So smart, and yet not. You know our leader's name, a feat for an outsider, and yet know nothing of our inner workings. You won't find Seireitou-dono here."

"Spare me the theatrics. Where is he, and I will let you live for now."

"Well, no, for several reasons. First, I would never betray Seireitou-sama. Second, you are in my palace, and in no position to threaten me. Third, if you somehow overwhelmed me, and persuaded me to tell, you would still be no match for our leader."

"Fine, then. I will make you tell." Senshin threw several kunai.

Dodging easily, Josho laughed again.

"I'm fast." Senshin was behind Josho, kicking him in the back.

"Little arrogant fool!" Josho bowed forwards, dodging the blow, and backflipped over Senshin's head. As he did, he swept his opponent aside with a chop to te head.

Dodging, Senshin fired several speedy punches at Josho.

"You can do nothing!" Josho easily employed his energy funneling method to increase his speed, sweeping aside every blow, forcing Senshin backwards with a staggering strike to the chest, and backing away.
