Even Hibiki could admit that she probably deserved that. The girl managed to keep up a smug smile, through what was clearly going to be a lasting mark on her frail form. Silence, she figured, would work just as well as any final snide remark. Besides, they had a long walk back to HQ – plenty of time for her to think up new ways to needle her partner.

Katsuo wasn't really sure what to do today, but the idea of permanently engraving his mark on the shadow clone technique was indeed something he felt like doing. 

Yep! This Hagane had picked up the ability to replicate himself a while back, but since he sucked so much when using, he chose not to. Hopefully in the future he wouldn't loose such unfathomable amounts of chakra every time he chose to replicate himself, but so far that seemed to be the truth at hand. During the founders tournament, he was seriously regretting being such a heavy ninjutsu user. Certainly, his chakra reserves will be heavily tapped out by the end of the tournament, but if it meant that he could possibly win again everyone else, he was definitely going to try and take the chance!

Now with that, Katsuo had called upon his older cousin Sousaku, as he needed some help he asked if he could ask another person for a genin. Sousaku contacted Sadako, and that led to Uchiha Kai being the one called upon.

Katsuo hoped that he wasn't being rude, since that was far from what he was! He was only needed a strong training partner so that he could enhance his level of taijutsu! If he were to do that, then their would be a lot of stuff he could do! Being a ranged combatant, meant that he either needed a way to move away and get ranged again, or find away to be just as effective in close quarters! With his lack of physical speed, he needed to be able to protect himself from a deadly punch!

*Waking up this morning, getting told he was expected to come out here and help another genin who he, up until today, didn't know existed was a little bit annoying. Stopping on his way to grab a scroll so he could at least ensure he learnt something he deemed important while he was training... Though Katsuo might not like it too much. He'd deal with any backlash for forcing the shinobi to pass out at a later date though.*

"So... I'm guessing you're who i'm supposed to be helping with hand to hand combat?" *He hadn't brought his chain with him for this meeting, whether he forgot it at home or realized he didn't want people he would one do be fighting in the tournament knowing what he could do was anyone's guess.*

"I don't really know how Sadako knows you or your family but if I need to be out here then fine. Though i can't really say you'll enjoy my training methods." *He hinted at with a small smirk. Illusions were a powerful thing and one could render the physically strongest shinobi to a groveling mess in a second.*
