Description

_{There is a reason why I don't like putting words into my comics. They make no sense.
Everyone else's submissions are so nice ; A ; then you have this piece that is just really extra so so sorry for ruining your kids. esp Niji

Had a week, yes, but couldn't start on it until Friday. Never try to make a comic in 24hrs unless you're sonic. Lesson probably not learned tbh and nothing makes sense when you're running on 14 hours of sleep total since last Saturday.

So, before I fell off the sea life in general, Cherry and I headcanoned out our kid's spar. Honestly, it was really fun throwing reactions back and forth ; v ; Looks like a rivalry is blooming?....hopefully because Cow needs relationships RIP

Explanation of the comic (aka rambling):

This is kind of a bastardized version of the original headcanon since it doesn't follow it exactly. Mostly because I lack the artist ability, in general, to properly show it. Kaoru had Njika beat in every stat aside from Nin, Tai, and Force. Still, this wouldn't be an easy win since 1) if she can get him into a taijutsu fight, he'd lose with his 0.5 Tai stat. 2) She's still clan heir so, assuming, would have had some tougher training so that she could be ready in the future. 3) THERE'S NO WAY SHE WOULDN'T GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT

Kaoru started the fight by releasing a fine mist with genjutsu properties. Nijika, as an Amatou, feels like something is off but doesn't realize it until much later. Since he's still a Genin, he's trying to make it less detectable but, as a result, it's weaker. So, he buys time by chatting. In the meantime, he learns what he can about Nijika. Since Cherry suggested what Niji saw, canonly speaking Kaoru would have no idea who her closest people would be. Hence the seemingly random panels of said 4 people. The genjutsu kicks in when she finally gets a hit during their game of tag, and that moment her guard drops, he gets her into a Gen there are clues as to when the Gen was activated and when it actually stuck

Cherry wrote a much better version on her submission here: fav.me/dayoqvb
