Who is this kid and what did he do with Minato?

...I think he's mocking us for a reason.
It's very OOC for him to be acting like this, and he was pretty chill before the whole duel.

(Success!)
You say nothing in return, letting anger control your mind is the LAST thing you want to do right now. Instead, you take a deep breath before trying to analyze both the situation and where he might be. You concentrate completely, allowing yourself to enter a perfect state of focus.
“Your silence only proves my point Ardal! Why don’t you just give up already?” Minato continues to tease.
Your eyes suddenly widens as your ears pick up a sound you originally missed. Back then….when he was mocking you….there were footsteps! Quiet-almost silent- but definitely there! Was he moving when he was mocking you?! No…his voice would’ve sounded differently if he was moving.
“Don’t think I haven’t found you Ardal. I’m only reveling at the pitiful sight of you shaking in fear with that useless kunai in your right hand.” Minato mocks loudly.
You give a small smile at his last comment, before looking down at the kunai in your LEFT hand.
“He can’t see me….that bastard is just as blind as me!” You think reassuringly to yourself. “But then….how was he able to find me that last time?!”
F) How was Minato able to find your location? A correct answer will give you a substantial bonus to your attack next turn, while an incorrect one will give you a harsh penalty.

When we rolled to the left to dodge the shadow shuriken, we stopped rolling because of the pain from being hit by 2-3 shuriken. Then because of the pain we yelled in agony. That's how Minato knew our location. Minato's attack before was on target because Ardal didn't move until after the attack.

Ice's vote. We never moved after the smoke came.

There's what ice said, as well as us yelling at Minato without moving after the smoke was released, which confirmed to him that we hadn't moved from our initial position.

With all the clues finally in your mind, you quickly piece together why Minato was able to find you. When his first technique damaged you, the pain left you immobile on the ground, giving him a general area of your location even after the smoke emerged. He even used your voice to confirm the location….that’s it! The reason he’s taunting you relentlessly is so that you’ll make a sound, ANY SOUND, that will reveal to him where you are.
“…But this still doesn’t explain the discrepancy between his voice and where the kunais are coming from. It almost seems like there’s two of hi-“
You resist the powerful urge slap yourself on the head due to your stupidity. It’s so obvious now…….he’s using a clone! While his clone is provoking you to reveal your location, the real one is sneaking around the smoke and attacking from your blind spot!
“Two can play at this game you mother fucker.” You angrily think before making the seals for the only ninja technique you know.
“Clone technique.” You whisper under your breath. (-50 chakra)
A clone silently materializes right next to you. You command it to move twenty yards to the left of you, remembering that non-corporeal clones luckily make no foot-steps as they move. Once the clone reaches his destination, you set your plan in action. You telepathically give your clone orders on what to do next.
“FUCK YOU MINATO! SHOW YOURSELF LIKE A MAN!” Your clone yells as loud as he can.
Almost instantly afterwards, Minato’s clone gives another snide reply as you hear two soft footsteps coming from behind you. It abruptly stops as Minato’s clone finishes his sentence, and you hear the sound of two kunais charging towards your clone. During this, however, you manage to pin-point the general location of the thrower.
“I know where he is……it’s pay-back time.” You think excitedly to yourself.
A) Whip out your right hand and charge at the thrower. B) Throw your shurikens and kunais at the thrower. C) Run up to him and engage in taijutsu D) Something else

You place each of your fingers through the holes of the shurikens and kunais in your pocket. As a sudden *poof* reveals that Minato’s kunais have destroyed your clone, you quickly counter by throwing each of your weapons at the general location of the thrower. Your weapons quickly disappear behind the dense fog, but a few moments later, you hear the soothing tone of Minato screaming in pain……..which is followed by a loud *poof*.
“ANOTHER CLONE?!” You think incredibly to yourself as you quickly dive to the left, making sure your location wouldn’t be known in case of a counter-attack.
“That was pretty smart of you Ardal” You hear Minato’s voice compliment from an untrackable location. “….but it seems this smoke has lost its usefulness. Ready for round two?” Minato asks confidently as you hear the unmistakable sound of someone performing seals and molding chakra.
A powerful gust of wind slaps you painfully on the face; nearly pushing you straight on your ass. Your eyes are watering from the attack, but you can easily see the wind completely cleared the smoke screen. You also manage to catch Minato charging at you with incredible speed, a kunai held intimidating in his right hand.
Even in your dazed state, you easily counter his charge by leaning to the side just as he stabs for your face, and punching him squarely in the face, propelling him into the air. He may have you beat in ninjutsu and speed, but you have yet to meet someone who can match you in taijutsu.
Minato does a back flip in the air before landing back squarely on his feet. He wipes the trickle of blood flowing down the corner of his lip before looking at you cautiously.
A) Run up to him and engage in taijutsu B) Same as A, but use your Kikochu C) Something else

Trying to stab MC in the face? What the crap, Minato.
A. Don't care about winning enough to use the Kikochu.

If he's trying to stab us in the face, lets see how he likes our Kikochu.
Just joking. Voting A.

Realizing that you finally have the upper-hand, you charge towards Minato and throw a quick jab to his face. The punch connects, but he rolls his face with it, mitigating the damage and putting you slightly off-balance. He then attempts to hit you with short uppercut to the chin, but you counter it beautifully by giving him a backflip-kick to the chin. As he flies into the air due to force of your kick, you quickly grab him by the ankle and slam him down hard on grass. As he grunts in pain from your attack, you quickly jam both your knees onto his shoulders and place a kunai centimeters from his throat.
“I win.” You say harshly as you stare coldly into his eyes.
Minato says nothing at first, but after a few moments, he looks down and nods.
“You beat me fair-and-square Ardal.” He says submissively with a hint of shame.
Although still a bit angry, you calmly sheath your kunai before getting off his shoulders and collecting the rest of your weapons littered around the floor. Minato gets up and gently pats the dirt off his gloves before walking sullenly to his master’s side. “I told you Ardal was strong!” You hear Kushina’s voice bellowing from behind you as you collect your shurikens and kunais. “Sho wasn’t even able to TOUCH Minato, let alone beat him!”
“Minato….you have no idea how much Tsunade is going to bug me once she finds out about this.” Jiraiya complains childishly.
“I’m sorry master.” Minato replies apathetically. “I wasted too much chakra trying to finish him off quickly….I couldn’t even shunshin away at the end.”
You quickly turn pocket all of your weapons before turning around and attempting to join the conversation about you.
“You took this way too seriously Minato.” You say with a harsh tone as you approach him and his team. “The shuriken technique was bad enough….but you actually tried to stab me in the face back there.”
Minato gives a small smile and scratches the back of his head before replying.
“I admit…my first technique might’ve been a bit much, but I was much more careful from then on.” He replies sheepishly.
You give him an odd look before asking him to explain himself.
“The kunais I threw at you....did you even bother to see what they looked like?” He asks simply.
His question knocks you slightly off-guard; don’t all kunais look alike? You shake your head slowly.
“Well, they aren’t really supposed to be used like ordinary kunais.” He explains before pulling out one of them and placing it in his hand. “See?”
The kunai he uses is much different than a typical one. For one thing…the end is completely blunt. Besides that, you notice that his kunai has three prongs sticking out from the handle, which is also atypically large. It also feels a little heavier than the kunais in your pocket.
“Why do you even bother using this?” You ask skeptically as you examine the weapon closely. “It almost seems like a toy for children.”
“Well, I usually don’t throw it bare.” He replies as he gently reclaims the weapon in your hand. “Jiraiya-sensei has been teaching me how to channel my wind-chakra into it. He says it’s easier if the weapon isn’t bladed because I could distribute my chakra evenly at the end.”
“Minato….you really shouldn’t explain your techniques to a potential rival.” Jiraiya lectures uncomfortably from the side-lines.
“After what I did, this is the least I could do for him.” Minato points out coolly. “Besides, were going to be teammates soon, it’s good if he knows how I fight.”
“If you say so Minato….” Jiraiya replies skeptically after giving a loud, submissive sigh.
“Anyways….I have another boon to ask of you Ardal. My taijutsu is pretty crappy –as you’ve probably seen- and I would be really grateful if you helped me out a little with that.” Minato asks bluntly and straight-to-the-point.
You hear Kushina laugh softly before nudging you on the shoulder and whispering in your ear.
“It really is bad Ardal….even I’M better than him at it. He’s only better than us because we can never keep up with his speed.” She whispers gently, causing you to chuckle softly.
Minato shuffles uncomfortably after what Kushina says, but he quickly continues his proposition.
“I wouldn’t do this and offer nothing in return Ardal. In exchange for your tutoring, I could teach you my shuriken technique….maybe even help you a little bit on your speed.” Minato adds.
“This whole technique sharing thing……a shinobi’s secret shouldn’t be an open-exchange you know?” Jiraiya says bitterly from the side.
A) **** him. Go back home and relax. B) Same as B, but do ______ instead. C) Deal. Learn how to do that shuriken thingy. (Learned technique and +1 ninjutsu) D) Deal. Work on your speed (+2 speed) E) Deal, but ask if you can learn how to do that chakra channeling thing instead.

Shadow Shuriken is an incredibly versatile technique, and we also get a bonus to ninjutsu to boot.
We can ALWAYS get more speed....this may be the last time to get this technique. Besides, It's only two speed anyways.
