"My name is Ryu. I don't understand why you decided to attack me but I am skilled in combat. I won't go down easily." As he said this, Solstafir had jumped on the now fallen tree, more wet with rain then before. The wind seemed to blow at a much faster speed and more frequently as Ryu watched the man intently, waiting for the perfect moment to execute his plan.
Solstafir leaped at Ryu. At this instant, Ryu again released his energy and used it to speed his movements a little bit while attempting to slow the forces of gravity on his opponent. He ducked downward and moved forward so that as Solstafir landed Ryu would be behind him. As he moved quickly he drew Shinu with his right arm and with his left he placed his hand on the grips of Mizu, one of his three daggers.
When Solstafir landed, Ryu released his focus on his opponent's movements and focused on the speed of his own. He strained a bit as he used double the energy as before to strike as quickly as he could against Solstafir's back. He noticed that his opponent had attempted a frontward strike as he landed and Ryu laughed.
Just after Ryu had attempted his blow he said "I don't fight like you might find as respectable for a warrior, for I am not someone who will take a blow if I know my speed and wit can win over my opponent. I am obviously not as strong as you may be but I believe this shouldn't be too hard of a fight."
It was obvious to Ryu that he was already wanting to bite his tongue. He was now sweating a bit from the stress his energy had put on him. Using his mana wasn't easy and doing so for any lengthened time period could leave Ryu in a very exhausted state.
((EDIT)) (This is purely to jest since there has been no reply by Itachi Uchiha)
Ryu had noticed blood on his blade. The figure just stood there bleeding from the back. Is it over? Ryu asked himself. He took one large step forward and cleaved his motionless opponent with all his might right in half. Such wasted blood... he thought as he walked away, the blood seeping into the ground.
