Kakashi's mind blanked out from the unexpected miss.

Noticing this, Laiz smirked as he opened his hands to reveal a cluster of dirt.

'Close combat? Against Kakashi? No way!' Laiz sneered at the impossibility of the thought. If there were a way for that, it would have to be dirty. Literally.

So, with a massive smirk on his face, Laiz released the for it to dirt fly straight toward the unsuspecting Kakashi, successfully disabling Kakashi's vision.

Laiz didn't stop there though. He directed the force from his throw to his left, thus turning the forward force spiral. This spiral force forced his whole body to spin anti-clockwise.

With this spin came a vicious kick quickly heading towards the flailing Kakashi.

Yet as another display of experience, Kakashi managed to somehow predict the trajectory of the kick despite his non functioning vision and reinforce his arms with chakra to forcefully block as he didn't have enough time to retreat or weave a sign for a ninjutsu.

'Probably should have expected no less from a former Hokage..' Laiz thought passively as he jumped away from Kakashi. With that missed chance, he was sure that Kakashi was prepared enough to overwhelm him. Not to mention that his vision should be coming back at any second now.

And as expected, Kakashi opened his eyes softly, all while maintaning a guarded position.

However, instead of relief greeting him with his restored vision what came instead was confusion.

Scattered around Kakashi was finely sized dusts which he recognized as wood from the smell and texture.

Laiz smirked. Not a mischievous smirk nor an evil smirk, no. It was something much more sinister.

A smirk of a scientist.

Kakashi couldn't help quiver as flashbacks of Orichimaru's identical smirk came to mind. That was a smirk of someone crazier than crazy.

With two rocks in his hands, Laiz stared into Kakashi's eyes,

"Kakashi, have you ever heard of combustion?" This question was filled with so much confidence that it was scary. And it was only when you realize where this confidence came from will you truly fear that voice.

Kakashi knew he should of ran away from this area when he had the chance but he was just too confused and clueless to do so.

Now it was too late as two rocks from Laiz headed towards him. He didn't know what it'll do but.. He was wise enough to know it wouldn't be a pleasant experience.

So with a speed faster that Laiz had ever seen him use, Kakashi managed to get outside the area of the wooden dust in less than a second.

Enough time to see the two rocks create friction which in turn generated heat.

What came next was an explosion Kakashi had never seen come from two simple resources.

'.. This.. I'm lucky i had the common sense to get away from there then..'

Looking at someone successfully escaping from your plans with safety and relief would have bought anger and disappointment to anyone, even Laiz. Yet Laiz maintained his smirk, even getting larger than physically possible.

Laiz simply stood his grounds as he bought his finger for a loud and crisp snap.

And right the sound reached Kakashi, the shockwave of the explosion reached him to reveal.. More wooden dust in the air.. This time, covering an area way larger than previous.

'Where di..' Kakashi didn't even have enough time to finish this thought when the heat of the first explosion spread towards the the dust to create.. A larger explosion.

This explosion quickly engulfed Kakashi in less than second.

The area was left in smoke as quietness took over the previously lively place...

Laiz stood with a smile which quickly turned into a full-blown smirk.

'Ha.. Hahaha.. Mwhahahaha! EVERYONE SHALL FEAR THE POWER OF SCIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE! HAHAHHAHA!' ...Despite the crazed shouts and maniacal laughs in Laiz's head, his features displayed nothing but calmness...

What Laiz had implemented was basic knowledge of 'Explosion Combustion'. What it does is speed up the release of energy during combustion, essentially turning it to an explosion.

Laiz first initiated this when he spread a source of fuel - wooden dust, around Kakashi when he had failed to hit him. He had gotten his fuel from the trees around him when he was hidden from Kakashi. It was important that the dust was in the air so oxygen can mix with the dust as it was necessary to produce the explosion.

He also laid a few more of the dust just outside the radius of the first expected explosion just to be cautious, this moment proved that cautiousness helpful. Another important factor in this was that the dust had to be within the shock-wave of the first explosion so it can be blown up and mixed with air.

With those set up, Laiz just provided the other reactant which was heat with the friction caused by the two stone he threw. The rest was history.

A smile came to Laiz upon reviewing his successful tactics, especially the little details involved. Had a less observant viewer seen the fight, they probably would have missed the small things during that fight. For example, how the kunais was aimed towards vitals not to for the sake of it but to distract Kakashi from the other kunai, or how his eyes and body language screamed for a fight when he approached Kakashi for a close combat battle only to proceed by playing dirty (Literally).

Laiz glanced at the smoke caused by the explosion.

"Did i pass?" Laiz asked this loud question toward the smoke knowing full well how weird his actions may seem to a possible spectator.

A few seconds went by in silence, yet Laiz kept his eyes towards the clearing smoke still waiting for his answer.

The smoke cleared up to reveal a slightly sweaty Kakashi surounded by broken rock walls.

"You.. Pass"
