Scene 1

[Sometime early Saturday morning - before he gets captured by Bowser, thankfully - Sasuke is seen on camera fighting hand-to-hand with his Lucario. Or, at least it appears to be hand-to-hand until Sasuke blows a giant fireball at the pokémon, who retaliates with an Aura Sphere. The two attacks collide and explode in mid-air before they go at it hand to hand again. The demonstration of special techniques, weapons expertise (from Sasuke anyway) and martial arts goes on for at least ten minutes before Sasuke calls a stop to it silently, causing Lucario to stand tall and nod.

That's about when Sasuke grabs the camera, smirking just a little bit as he wipes the sweat from his brow. It's something he hasn't done in a long time, and he has to say that it feels good to have his chakra and his weapons back.]

I guess it's happened again, hasn't it.

Naruto, Sakura, Tenten, Obito, Shino. I want to fight with all of you. Come to the Lake of Rage as soon as you can.

Scene 2

[In and around Olivine City appears to be none other than Sasuke Uchiha, but something seems different. He's clearly older, taller, and smiling a lot more - more relaxed than his younger self. He has an Arcanine at his side - Yōgan, for those who know him - who seems to be perfectly at ease with the man beside him, having recognized him as his trainer.

When he walks by, he flashes a smile and gives a wave before approaching, fearless and easy-going as he does so.]

Hey.

Scene 3

[Somewhere in the Ilex Forest, a little boy is running around. He seems frightened and alone, though there is a familiar Arcanine trailing behind him. The ninja animal - at least, that's what he thinks it is - seems to bring him comfort, but it doesn't change the fact that he's lost. He was just training with his big brother to perfect throwing kunai, but now he doesn't know where he is. It's dark, and it doesn't look like the Uchiha training grounds at all!

It's only when he spots someone that he runs up, almost in tears but trying his hardest to hold back. That's when he clears his throat, a little flushed before looking up and asking.]

Uh, hi. Do you know how I can get back to the Uchiha training grounds? I was training with my big brother but I lost sight of him and... Now I have this ninja animal with me, he came in this weird ball, but I still don't know how to get back. Can you help me?

[[OoC: SO, THREE CHOICES. Scene 1, this account will be answering as that is just regular Sasuke only enhanced with his chakra. Scenes 2 and 3 will be replied to with

worldscutestuchiha, for icons with both Flirtsuke (also known as Charasuke, an AU version of Sasuke from the latest Naruto movie) and seven-year-old Sasuke, who is from before the massacre. Just say who you want in the subject header!]]

[It doesn't hit his head, but she does get his shoulder with a loud crack and a grunt from Sasuke. He grabs the staff with his other hand however, trying to yank her towards him so that he can meet his knee with her stomach.]

[And then she laughs, because he fell for it. She shifts her grip the moment he grabs it, and the staff separates to reveal that it's three distinct pieces of wood, joined by chains. A three-sectioned staff, and she uses one end to sharply deflect his knee as she lunges in closer, trying to shift her balance to sweep him off his feet.]

[The deflection works, but he doesn't end up falling and instead he jumps back, pulling the staff with him hard.]

[She lets out an abbreviated yelp at the loss of balance, shifting her grip again as she falls forward toward him, trying to maneuver the other side of the staff to smack him in the chest before she smacks into him.]

[By the two are done tumbling, Sasuke's pinned underneath Tenten and panting hard, staring up at her as he notices that she's kind of straddling him.

Is this awkward? Probably... But he'll remember himself and get back to the fight soon.]

[She flushes a dark red at the realization, her knees straddling his chest, one section of the staff pressed against his throat, the other pinning one of his wrists.]

How's that?

[The breathless tone in her voice is definitely from the combat. And nothing else.]

Not bad, so far.

[He smirked again before making to shove her off with his other hand -- not in anywhere inappropriate, you perverts -- so that he can try for some fire jutsu.]

[It's a quick, deft motion with the pinned wrist to maneuver it to pin while freeing her hand to switch hands, the one that was at his wrist moving to the wood at his throat, other hand grabbing his wrist and wrapping it to her chest, torquing it just enough to start causing pain with the lock.

She leans in closer, lips curved into into a smirk.]

You're gonna hafta try harder than that, Sasuke.

[His breath catches with the lock, and it gets to him a bit. That's before he suddenly shifts his weight to roll them over, making to at least get on top of her. He can act from there.]

[A startled, pained grunt, and suddenly she's on her back. The movement is enough to slip the pin from the staff out of his grasp, so she just lets the staff fall, one hand dropping to her shuriken holster as her other hand grabs his collar for a distraction, yanking him down.]

Nice reversal.

[Now just don't pay any attention to that other hand that's about to draw a kunai, Sasuke...]

[Oh, but he will mind it. He immediately smacks her hand away from his collar before jumping back, his hands flying into signs for the fireball jutsu. No more holding back for Tenten...]

[As soon as he's back, she rolls backwards and leaps into the air, hands already weaving. For a moment it looks like she's caught in the fireball, and she adds a scream for good measure -- but a moment longer, and instead there's a poof of white smoke.]

Fireball.

[She sounds more than a little admiring at that -- she'd been expecting shuriken when she made the replacement. But now she's got her distance back, and she springs into the air, whipping out one of her scrolls. The technique she used against Gai... it was worth a shot.

A series of white smoke poofs, and suddenly there are several spears in her hand, which she immediately starts hurling with her usual flawless accuracy, trying to box him in.]

[It's difficult to worm his way through the spears, narrowing avoiding getting himself caught between three of them before he jumps up and into the trees. That would be a better refuge, but he still has to try harder if he wants to prove that he's better.

More shuriken fly out at Tenten from the trees, though this time there are no wires attached. After that, a large one flies out to follow the several smaller ones, but what Tenten might not expect is another one of those large Shurikens just in its shadow...]

Tch!

[A noise of frustration as he manages to dodge them all, her eyes narrowing as she watches him. She just narrowly dodges the other shuriken, sticking to the side of a tree by her Chakra, but the big one-- her eyes glint as she draws a kunai with a wire attached to the end, hurling it forward to catch it through the center ring and steal it for herself.

It's only then she spots the second shuriken in its shadow, and she lets out a muffled curse, dodging by dropping straight down, knowing she's making herself vulnerable like this. Hopefully she could get that borrowed shuriken around before got much closer...]
