You glared at the bully unflinchingly. He did not intimidate you, but you wouldn't let him hurt Ishako. He sneered at you and tried to push you away, but you held your ground. With a snort, the bully said, "Do you fuckin' know who I fuckin' am? I am Rinchi Nikama, the baddest motherfucker in the academy!"
His boast didn't do anything, you continued to stare at him. Seeing that words weren't going to work, he reared back his fist and tried to hit you! You quickly grasped his fist, much to his shock! You twisted his arm, making Rinchi groan and you slammed your elbow onto his arm. To your mild surprise, Rinchi's arm only buckled slightly with a small crack. He snarled and quickly kicked you away, making you release your grip.
"Aw fuck! That fuckin' hurt! But you gotta do more than that to break my bones!" Rinchi loudly said. The solution was simple then, you would have to apply more force. You ran forward and punched Rinchi in the gut, making him fold over your fist! However, Rinchi then thrusted his fist straight into your groin. Your knees slightly slackened in pain which caused Rinchi to back away slightly before roughly grabbing handfuls of hair.
"Nighty-night, you fuckin' mute asshole!" Rinchi snarled as he forced your head down right into his raised knee. A dull pain throbbed where he struck you, and the pain grew more intense as he kept on ramming his knee into your forehead. With a burst of strength, you broke out of Rinchi's grapple and drilled him in the chest with a powerful punch, forcing him to skid backwards on the grass.
"The fuck...?" Rinchi growled, holding his chest and taking large breaths. No doubt you knocked the wind out of him. But there was something more happening. You felt your body heating up, your heart was beating insanely fast, you could hear the blood rushing into your ears. Something warm and wet was trailing down your forehead, going down your nose, then your cheek.
You licked at it, tasting a liquid that you could only describe as metallic. The warmth in your body turned into a fire that made your blood boil with excitement. You lifted your head, your face hurting from the large, deranged grin that had carved its way into existence. The once confident Rinchi now looked at you with a combination of confusion and fear, but he switched to a smug smirk and cracked his neck.
"Alright, fine! You wanna get crazy? Let's get fuckin' crazy!" Rinchi roared, pulling out a scroll from his sash and summoning two gauntlets with long, sharp claws attached to them. He quickly slid them on and got into a fighting stance. Your body convulsed with laughter, but you stayed silent still as you pulled out your own scroll and summoned Hakai. Rinchi's face paled at the sight of the giant sword, but grit his teeth as he prepared for battle.
[X] You would simply have to disarm him. Strike for his arm above he gauntlets. Your weapon exceeds his reach, as long as it doesn't stop long enough to grab the blade. So give him a continuous cutting motion.

You lunged forwards and swung Hakai overhead, attempting to cut through Rinchi's arms, right above his clawed gauntlets. Sadly, he dodged to the side, Hakai striking the earth with enough force to make a fissure that extended for yards. Rinchi rushed forward, attempting to impale you with the claws, but you brought up Hakai in front of you, the sound of metal scraping against metal ringing out loudly. With a burst of strength, you pushed Rinchi away, sending him sprawling on the ground.
You wasted no time, running at the downed Rinchi and attempting to chop off his arm with a downward slash. When your sword made contact, Rinchi vanished with a puff of smoke, turning into a log. Silently snarling, you spun around and held out Hakai, attempting to stop any sneak attack Rinchi might do. Unfortunately, he seemed to predict your attack and jumped over your blade and slashed at you with his claws, cutting into your chest. But you ignored the pain and using the momentum from your spinning attack to slam your free hand into the defenseless Rinchi's stomach.
Spittle flew out of his mouth as he was sent flying backwards. You have him no time to recover, moving forwards and attempting to bisect him horizontally with a wide slash. Rinchi gasped and brought up both of his gauntlets to block his sides, his claws splayed out in a cross shape. Hakai smashed against the gauntlets, forcing them to painfully dig into Rinchi. The sound of metal tearing was like music to your ears, as was Rinchi's screams of pain as he was sent rocketing off to the side.
Ignoring the throbbing cuts on your chest, you watched as Rinchi slowly got up, one of his gauntlets was completely broken and slid off his wrist, but to your surprise neither of his arms were broken, but by how fast they were bruising they were clearly injured. Holding his injured ribs, Rinchi knelt on the ground, gasping for air in between violent coughing fits.
"He is Kaitaikojo Shigisei," Ishako cheerily replied. "Now you know your place! Unless you want some more...?"
"You bitch...!" Rinchi roared, getting to his feet. He began making a lot of hand seals and an orb of lightning began to form between his hands. Rinchi screamed as the orb got bigger and bigger, bolts of lightning radiating off of it. "You're gonna fuckin' dieeeeeee!"
[X] Use your Black Tornado technique and launch Hakai at him with blistering speed, spearing through his lightning orb and skewering him for good measure.

We here at Pyroverse Enterprises are all about tearing down the sacred cows Kishimoto has set up if they do not benefit the greater narrative (or if I did it first and the official explanation revealed later is way lamer, but I digress). The only problem is that some times these sacred cows are so ingrained in our minds that it becomes difficult to see them for the problems they are. So a random work thought has made this change, which is effective immediately for all Pyroverse Enterprises quests and significant enough of a change to tell everyone about:
The canon elemental wheel sucks.
Mainly, the huge issue is lightning beating earth for some reason. Earth grounds lightning. Sure, some lightning jutsu can pierce things real good, but all of them? No way. Wouldn't it make more sense for Kakashi to develop Chidori to counter earth users? As far as I can tell, lightning beating earth was done solely so Sasuke could defeat Deidara. This is bad writing, and it really doesn't show up that often afterward.
So our new wheel looks like this. Only this is a line:
Fire > Wind > Earth > Lightning > Water > Fire
Fire is still fed by wind and water still extinguishes fire. Wind now has that powerful cutting combined with its natural eroding properties to hack away at earth, as shown when Asuma threw some wind-infused knives through a tree and into stone. Earth beats lightning by grounding it, though a select few techniques have piercing properties. And then lightning beats water in a similar way that fire "beats" wind in that water conducts electricity. Yes, pure water doesn't, but I don't see water chakra being crystal clear. Of course, every element still has a way of countering or working around their natural weakness.
So do keep this in mind for any future element situations.
You maliciously grinned and began to spin around, holding Hakai outwards as you began to build momentum. You'd merely throw your sword at Rinchi, no doubt ending his wretched existence! More lightning began to crackle from Rinchi's jutsu, but before you could throw Hakai at him, you suddenly felt a burning agony on your shoulders, hot blood pouring out of them. Then your blood suddenly shaped into tendrils that went down your arms and wrenched them upwards as you let go of Hakai, sending it flying into the air.
On the other side, the lightning from Rinchi stopped crackling and you weren't quite sure why. You focused your attention on your enemy and saw Haruri standing in front of Rinchi, a hand placed on his head. But in front of you was the intimidating man with long black hair. His sword was unsheathed and it interested you immediately. It was a one handed, normal length sword with deep, serrated edges on both sides. It was caked in rust and bloodstains and on the pommel was a blood red gem that you swore was throbbing.
"You were lucky I was here, Haruri. Kaitaikojo would have killed Rinchi if not for my interference," the intimidating man said, sheathing his sword. At that moment, Hakai came down from the sky, landing on the ground and burying itself into the ground until only the hilt was visible.
"Thank you, Yoshimura," Haruri gratefully said. "You're right, I couldn't have stopped this by myself."
"I was about to kill his ass! Why did you stop me!" Rinchi growled at Haruri.
"Don't be an idiot. Kaitaikojo would have won with that last attack!" Yoshimura sternly said, his demeanor so intimidating that Rinchi froze and backed off. As for you, you were locked on Yoshimura's blade. Something about it was calling to you, as if it was a part of yourself that wanted to rejoin you. Yoshimura then turned towards you, crossing his arms. "What is your excuse? Why would you use such a lethal attack on a teammate?"
You barely heard Yoshimura and tried reaching for his sword, but the cuts on your shoulders suddenly widened, making you recoil in pain. Ishako instantly ran up to you, worried. She then looked at Yoshimura and exclaimed, "What did you do to Kai?!"
"I stopped his attack in the safest way possible. Haruri, it would be for the best if you healed his wounds quickly," Yoshimura ordered. Haruri nodded and walked over to you. The pain in your shoulders was soothed after Haruri repaired them with some weird jutsu, but you didn't care. Yoshimura repeated his question to you, but you didn't answer.
"Kai, maybe you should speak to him. He's..." Ishako trailed off, looking both angry and worried about the man in front of you.
What will you do?
[] Fine, you supposed you could answer Yoshimura...only because Ishako said so.
[] Keep on staring at Yoshimura's sword. You can almost hear it calling to you...
[] Steal Yoshimura's sword! You can't resist, you need it!

Can we do both? If not, then my vote's for the first option.
I don't see why we'd need to look at someone while talking to them. [X] Fine, you supposed you could answer Yoshimura...only because Ishako said so. [X] Keep on staring at Yoshimura's sword. You can almost hear it calling to you...
