Time for some feeding

A

s the opponent kid vanished into the thin air as a paperclone, Emi calmed down and looked around himself to make sure the original wasn't around. He walked into the center of his clones and looked up on the chef as the man gave Emi his answer. A smile crossed his face and his eyes lit up with a malicious glare as the chef demanded half of the food. Emi grabbed the girl that just had died with fresh blood on her cheeks and threw her up on a table and stacked up the spices and bird next to her. He made sure that they didn't fall down on the ground and looked back up on the chef.

I agree to the term, I don't care what you cook from this, just make all of it eatable.

He wasn't sure if Luigi would accept that order, but the menu was in a strange language that he couldn't even recognize a single word from. So while he waited to see what the chef would do, he send away his clones that were still right outside the window to the kitchen back to the barracks. After the clones already had ran off, he saw a shadow from within the barracks. He feared that it was the original opponent, but it was too late to stop the clones from running into the barracks, so he shrugged his shoulders and accepted the loss. But he turned to the clones surrounding him and told a few of them to keep an observant eye on the entrance to the barracks. The clones in the kitchen did as they were told, but the damaged leg that everyone had was seriously taking its toll, and their focus was really off.

Regardless if the chef cooked the food or not by his request, Emi would take all the food and put them into his pockets. To make sure all the pieces of the girl would fit into his pockets, Emi borrowed a knife and chopped the girl meat into more manageable bits before putting them into the cloak. When he had taken all the food, Emi made a series of seals and merged with the stone-floor. He hurried towards their tower, and since the tower was made of stone as well, he didn't need to take any detours to reach the tower. While inside, he would start to feed the princess with the food that was ready to be eaten.

While Zetsubô walked around trying to catch some kind of scent, a huge beanstalk erupted from the castle and reached for the skies. The sudden bust surprised him, but rather than to scare him, he just got curious of it. From what he knew, beanstalks wasn't dangerous. So he walked towards the beanstalk while trying to distinguish if there were anyone in the area. But his nose was to be beaten by his eyes, as a giant came jumping down the beanstalk and made quite the ruckus. Zetsubô walked a little to the side while he started to growl on the giant, he leaned his head forward and prepared himself for combat. The giant was however not going to fight him, but a smaller two-feet. He wasn't sure who the ninja was, but Zetsubô suspected that it was a bad guy, but who would he attack? the bad guy? or the bad guy of the bad guy? He didn't like the politics of two-footers, so he just shook his head and awaited one of the fighters to defeat the other. When one of them would win, Zetsubô would bodyflick towards the winner and use his bodytackle. His heart beat hard and fast as the adrenaline was pumping through his body. Finally, a fight, a kill and a lot of meat to eat.

[Nira]

Assuming the success of her takeover of the opposing teammate's body, Tarah allowed Ryosuke to proceed with his plan to deal with the giant. She didn't want to risk disruptive commands that would throw him off and get him hurt, since that would end the technique.

While Ryosuke proceeded with his actions, Tarah moved down the stairs towards the granary. She had the feeling that the flour would be available again, and also wanted to search for anymore food that she might have missed.

While making her way downstairs, Tarah spoke to the miniature Vi that had been hiding in her hat for the entire exams.

Tarah spoke in Ignan, the tongue of fire. It was a quick and percussive language, so it was good for quick and discreet communication.

"Foe soul claimed, help take down creature: giant."

The soul sliver of Vi would disperse itself after Tarah spoke her message. Since Tarah wasn't able to use other techniques while her Soul Speak was in effect, she had to get help from Vi.

Her final order to Ryosuke, before entering the Granary, would be for him to retreat from the giant and search for food. Upon finding any food, it was to be brought to and left by one of the two doors leading out of the southwestern princess tower. She also made a note for Ryosuke to avoid anything that seemed too risky or dangerous, so that he wasn't hurt and freed from her control.

Applying Soul Speak critical.
Vi's Soul Sliver dismissed

---

Vi collected the spices from the barracks, then looked curiously at the locker that hinted at a wealth of candy.

Before she could make any moves to steal from the locker, Tarah's message reached her thanks to the end of the Soul Sliver technique.

Choosing to abandon the candy for the time being, Vi left the barracks and looked over towards the giant that had abruptly arrived.

Could a giant be cooked?

Well, that was something to find out. Vi ran towards the giant, which may or may not have been bound by Ryosuke's wood technique.

The animal of Vi's teammate was near, and seemed hostile. It didn't know that Tarah would have put the enemy teammate under soul control, so it would have to be scared off.

Vi pointed her fingers at the space between the land shark Zetsubô and the giant. She shot a number of small blue fireballs, having them crash against the ground between the creatures. Hopefully the animal got the message and backed off.

After that, while still running towards the giant, Vi would activate a protect shell of chakra around her body, which materialized in the form of white flames.

Once the distance was closed, Vi reached for the vulnerable body part that was most easily accessible. She launched a set of two quick punches to the giant's groin. Assuming the giant had privates, it would likely take it out of play, and also make it easier to burn.

If the giant wasn't bound by the wood technique, she would need to maneuver around any of the giant's possible attacks. Thankfully the Bankai protection would prevent any form of harm.

Exams are over!

Without any further damage inflicted on any present these last six seconds beyond those that had died the PA would spring back into life. "Dear contestants, please cease your attempts to kill each other despite the amusement it brings us. Because of the deaths of Hatsu and Kenji of Team two due to... Prison violence... the exams are coming to an early end. With the death of these two the contestant Ryosuke is not only outnumbered but also heavily underpowered compared to the other team. Team One, with eight food points inside their princess in contrast to the Team Two princess who has only eaten five points therefore wins and are given the Chuunin title once their kage approves! Ryosuke, who loses, is extended this same honour as he was able to stand where both his team members failed and for his valorous behaviour in these exams!” That was it, apparently the exams were over and all those surviving had achieved great success. The two large doors of the gate house swung open, revealing the destroyed docks behind them. Floating pontoons had been put in place to form a new dock, where three dhows were rocking gently on the waves. The intent was clear.

Once again the PA crackled into action. ”Contestants, please proceed to the exit and board any ship of your choice, they shall deliver you to any port city in the known world of your choice. I thank you all for having competed! Happy CE’s and may the odds be ever in your favour!”Travelling like this would probably not be a boring chore, on the deck of each dhow a tent had been erected for you, of which the floor was littered with pillows to lay on as servants would bring whatever you desired. You would want for nothing on your way back home. That is if you could stomach it to see any food.

SPOILER: Click to show

And that's it, it's over and all, thank you for competing. ^^ And remember, you cannot have your headband title changed until your Kage gives you the title IC.

Eligible for Chuunin: Nira, Emi & Ryosuke

[Father 'Suke]

Ryosuke smiled to himself, looking high to the sky where he popped his neck and the rest of his body. Everything ending right then and there before any more damage or something could be performed. Ryosuke's eyes looking about at the wreckage, the blood on him needed washed first and foremost but he was tired. The exams themselves tired him out to a good end, and he was ready for the longest sleep for quite some time. Looking out to the boats that were opening up, his eyes looking straight at the dhows and the rest of what was their way out of there. Ryosuke looked to the two people who had won aside from just him and he personally held no grudge against them, rather he was pleased with their sportsmanship and with a look at them both he bowed to them in complete and honest respect for them.

“Thank you for the match, it was educational. My name is Ryosuke and I hope your time here was as enjoyable as it was to me,” It was all he had to say while soon looking towards the center of the field and then to the towers as he called out to hopefully the announcer who was listening as Ryosuke wanted the body of his fellow shinobi Kenji. Even though he was not the Kage of the Grass for long, he had to understand that the burial of this person was essential with the calling out, “Mr. Announcer, may I take the body of Kenji, one of the dead contestants who is from my village, back with me to bury?” The call out was necessary in Ryosuke's regards but whether or not he could take the body with him, he did keep a good hold on the three slot holster that his Kage gave to him, a memento of the Kage who died on this very chuunin exam.

Whether or not he could take the body, he traversed on to the dhows, the boats awaiting for the contestants to take with them and travel. Ryosuke got into one of the three, carrying the body if presently available to him, and sitting in the dhow he nodded and told the sailor. “Just take me to the port in the land of Fire. I wish to get back to my village as fast as possible.” With that said, he sighed to himself and made a small look at his garb and the garments assorted to his frame. All of which enabled him to appear all the more humble, and with such exhaustion he made good and ready to sleep for the ride there, and as such he only accustomed himself to the details that were in generalized order to him. “Wonder how the village is fairing...”

(Exit: with or without the body of Kenji)

[Solus]

There was no auditory response but clearly someone had understood Ryosuke's request. With a crackle the security system turned into action, teleporting the body of the recently departed Kusakage to Ryosuke's position. It was exactly in the condition in which the body had died. Wearing nothing but underwear, heavy second and third burns all over the body and the hands and feet still tied with rope the body appeared. Not the most dignified position but at least you would have the body.

[Nira]

Vi and Tarah stopped their actions as the exams were commanded to end.

"Prison violence?" Tarah asked, "Oh, not me, then? Well... okay."

Before the girls boarded any of the ships, Vi yelled out to the director of the exams. "Hey, even if we weren't the direct cause of their death, could we claim any of our enemy's equipment?"

Regardless of the answer to the request, the girls would board their own ship and head to a different Fire Country port.

<Attempting to loot>
<Ending event thread>

[~Emi~]

Emi dropped the food that he was about to stuff the princess with as the announcer started to speak. His heart was beating rapidly as he feared defeat from the very short exam. But as the announcer told them team one had won, and that him and Tarah were to be recommended for chunin. He closed his hand and raised it triumph. The exam hadn't turned out as he had expected, but he was glad he came out victorious. Before leaving the tower, he picked up all of his items and made sure they were in their proper spots. The courtyard had been damaged quite a lot, which made the calmness even stranger.

Prison violence? wasn't the prison suppose to be a safe-zone?

He shrugged his shoulders and ran down the stairs, and whistled on his friend. Zetsubô came rushing towards him within seconds. The huge beast had been scared for quite some time and just wanted to get away from all of the explosions. So Emi put the leash back on the animal and headed towards the docks. He nodded to the enemy when he saw him bow to them. It was a noble gesture, and Emi felt that even though they had faced each others in the exam, the grass ninja was someone he could rely on if they were to team up.

I'd also like to claim some of the items from the slain, the forehead protectors if nothing else...

Before he entered the last boat, he took back his own crossbow and quiver with arrows. Even if he didn't know how to use them, he still wanted to get them back. They cost a lot of money after all.
