Ryu barely had time to harden his internal bone structure before the pillar hit him , sending him flying up into the celing, leaving him to fall all the way back down with a thud. As he got up, he couldn't help but get a little pissed off at the ninjutsu instructor, but it faded as the man shamed him a little for his actions. [color=darkorange]"Yeah, the only people I've sparred with regularly were the Mizukage when she had the time, and some other high ranking ninja, so forgive me if I'm not used to holding back when I spar."[/color] Except he did hold back, as he didn't use any of his lava techniques, but even he knew that they were over-kill for a simple sparring session. [color=darkorange]"Anyway, training would be nice and when Angelo wakes up, I hope to apologize to him."[/color] Ryu hoped he hadn't caused him any serious damage with his attack, but it was probably unlikely due to the fact that the damage looked mostly superficial and that he was a jinchurikii. [color=darkorange]"As a side note, since you were observing us, what did you think of my use of ninjutsu, sensei. By the way, I have yet to learn your name, so if you don't mind could you enlighten me?"[/color]
