Strategy Over Power

Kikato had decided today that he would spend time out in the desert, he was going to train somethings that his villagers did not need to see, He was wearing his glass armor, On his back was a gourd, and draped over it was Kabutowari, his Hammer and axe that was lashed together with a strip of leather, and then his most recent achived item, his Zanpakuto.

The sheath was black as obsidian, as well as the wrap on the handle, but underneath the wrap, was dark green glow, like light looking through a green glass, and when he drew the blade from the black sheath, a slight ring could be heard, and the blade looked like it was the same color green, but the metal was tinted like this almost, it was a very mellowing color, the blade weighted neigh on weightless, and the length of the blade from the hand guard, which looked like a cloud, color and everything, to the tip was about four feet in length, and the handle was only about a foot long, making for a sword grand total of almost five foot in length, and light did not reflect off it like normal blades though, it more of shown through the blade and made the blade shine like glass.

Kikato would Resheath the blade and just below that blade on his hip was another blade, forever dull, but with abilities to heal, the Tenseiga, Kikato would then begin playing with the sand of the desert, starting with small little winds made of sand, and then suddnely a full fledge tornado, and then he would make it disappate, and a Sand clone was standing where he made the tornado, and then it would slowly color itself to match him, and become an identical clone, happy with it Kikato would then stand looking in the desert, thinking that today he would meet someone who will need his help

Meanwhile, while he waited for this person, he decided he would practice a bit, the clone across from him would use the Sand Armor Technique to increase his defense, and then they would charge as fast as they could, eventually using the sand underneath them to carry them at higher speeds, and as soon as they got within close enough range to each other they would begin a close quarters combat.

They would block and swing at each other, being as identical as possible they are both knowing what the other would do next and take preparation for it, and as One would think about changing normal tactics, the other would do the same and just collide against each other, Anyone watching would assume this fight was between two highly level ninja, with the speed and power behind each strike and the persicion of each block, and they technically was, but they also was one ninja all at the same time, they both would begin to go offensive, meeting every blow with another blow, trying to land a clean solid strike on the other, but neither giving leeway, with a deep breath they would both try a headbutt on each other, and wound up making themselves fall back exhausted.

After a good hour of resting in the sand, they would both get up, and then Kikato would pull the sand off of him with his manipulation and the clone would just have the sand fuse with his armor, and they would begin at it again, striking each other eventually they would both pull out a sword, Kikato's Zanpakuto, and a Sand version for the clone, and they would dash at each other using the sand, and begins the clash of swords, once more each and every strike would meet each others, and even the occasional kick would be meet with another kick, both springing off the others kick, and catching themselves with sand and launching off of it at each other, and then eventually they would yet again in a exsausted draw, collapsing and resting for yet another hour.

This was the last hour Kikato would spend waiting, and with this he would test ninjutsu, and both him and the clone was manipulating sand to pummel into each other like waves crashing into each other, or streams, and even occasionally spikes, each being met with an equally powerful jutsu, getting fed up with the clone, Kikato would just bend the armor on the Clone to turn into spikes going inwards, and Kikato would begin to head towards the land ruled by that One kid he met, the rude one wanting to stay away from the group, Kyojin, little to his knowledge at this point, that there was a new leader already, and that Arc was visiting as well, but he would soon find out.

Meanwhile, Inside of his head while he walked, Kikato would begin to hold a conversation with Lust, and they would actually get to know each other, Lust said she was powered by the Desire of the flesh, and then Kikato would ask her about the fear of lonliness, and what that would do to someone, and with discussion about it, Lust concluded that, that as well could work, and kikato nodded saying "Good cause that is my worst fear, but You and Shukaku keep me company now" off in the corner of the mind of Kikato the Sword's spirit, Sandman, would cough softly to get his attention, and kikato would say, And him as well, satisfied, he would give a slight smug look and nod, then looked off in the distance, with that Kikato would nod, he had friends with him now at all times, he would never have to be alone again, he would begin his talk with Lust about what she could offer him power wise, and she would go on about her nails, seemed that this was her weapon of choice, and kikato was fine with that, actually he thought about the Hyuuga Gentle palm and thought how well it would work in conjunction to it, the nails could extend and provide more range, and possibly even additional damage if he could puncture them, he would then just go quiet and think on this while he walked.
