Wateri..

Eight would smile as he looked at his invitation to fight an upper-rank. Gripping the handle of his blade with his right hand, Eight actually grined at this oppritunity to finally get his ass beat in a fight.

"...let's kick some ass..." Eight said to himself with a laugh..

Watari casually strolled right in with new black, fingerless gloves and a toothpick being chewed in his mouth. He finally sees the boy he knows as "Mr. 8". Finally meeting him in person, it seems that Eight is the same age as him or whatever. "Alright.... let's roll right through this... or I might have to prepare you for your one-way trip to Hell!"

Turning around, Eight saw Wateri and unbuttoned his cloak to reveal his entire torso. Smiling at what Wateri said, Eight dropped his cloak completely and streched his shoulders to spread the five foot blades on both shoulders. Now looking like a metal bird, 8 unsheathed his sword but didn't awaken its abilities yet. Eight stood there and waited for Wateri to make the first move..

Watari whistled in feigned amazement at the unique structure of Eight's body. Clearly his abilities originated from genetic mutation. But he'd have to turn this manifestation of revolution into a wingless being. Watari ran forward, closing meters of distances quickly. He quickly kicked his feet at the air around Eight a few times and six ball-shaped Raiton blasts shot from his feet and now headed towards Eight vertically in a spread-out formation concentrated on his position at high speeds.

Putting his sword back into his sheathe, Eight did three fast handsigns and instantly summoned Shadow Uchiha. Now palms forward, Shadow absorbed all of the blasts through his hands. "...recognize anyone yet...? This is my puppet...Shadow Uchiha..." Now smiling with exitement, Eight commanded Shadow to use his decapating airwaves to slice straight through the kicking Wateri if it hit. ((Do you remember this move Wateri??? ))

Watari was alerted the moment his mentor Shadow appeared upon the field. "Ah I see..... so you've turned him into a Human Puppet. So that's what happened to his body.." said Watari. But then Shadow lifted his hand towards Watari, and he focused his chakra towards his hands. Suddenly, the air was drawn towards Shadow's hands and the surrounding pressure changed. Even before activating his Sharingan, Watari can recognize the technique before it's dealt. Opening his hands, his micro-filaments stored in his new gloves instantly shot out and surrounded Watari in a full barrier, layered with wind chakra at the 'B-rank" setting. The wind barrier created repelled the force of the sonic air waves. Once the barrier closed down, a Watari with the Sharingan appeared. "Useless. You're relying on a no-good corpse to fight for you? The dead can do nothing! You're only making it easier for you to be wounded, especially if your opponent is someone who is aware of Shadow Uchiha's abilities," he bragged, as he ran towards Eight in random patterns to make it harder for him to hit. Watari is no longer fearful of the fact that Eight might be aware of his wire abilities should he extract it from Shadow's mind somehow. The wires he's using that comes from the Hand of Shinigami are brand new and one that he has not yet shown to Shadow. Which would mean that they would learn about the other's powers through combat. Just like the old times. 'Restriction Arms!" Manuevering his thin wires in different angles to surround Eight and Shadow, he will then quickly draw his wires in towards them and bind their bodies at the same time, rendering them incapable of movement.
