This arena was all too familiar to him. He had fought here many times before, and every victorious battle came at the cost of another's life. Here — there was no respect for any life. It was either kill or be killed, and the fallen were simply thrown to the cages of the deranged beasts that outlined the lowest portion of the arena walls. The stadium itself was a whopping 100x100 meters, which would provide both combatants with plenty of mobility to move around should they need to. Stationed throughout the arena itself were a variety of stone pillars, all ranging from ten meters high to twenty meters high, and at least fifteen meters between each, no more than twenty meters apart. Most of the pillars were aligned toward the sides and edges of the arena, but there were a few placed through the more inner portions of the battlefield.

For those who found them specializing in ninjutsu, they would find this battlefield more suited toward them. The ground beneath the fighter's feet was perfect for those who dabbled in the art of doton, and the small patches of grass, small shrubs, and small trees were pefect for the art of Mokuton. The only true element lacking sustenance was that of ice, but with the right techniques the small pond stationed exactly in the middle[50m] of the two contestants could come in handy. This pond wasn't the most luscious body of water, and only had a diameter of about ten meters and was only about ten feet deep, but the water was unusually darker than average, stained by the blood of previous combatatants who fell in battle.

Ebony locks flowed in symmetry with his ebony cloak as they both responded to the push of the gentle breeze that flowed through the area. One blade, strapped horizontally across his back, with the hilt sticking out from his left side, was accompanied on the opposite side by an empty ebony sheath. These two blades were his favorite– yes, but he had other weapons fit for the kill. His left arm was equipped with a heavy metal device– a Melody Arm– one of the newest additions to his arsenal. Beneath his cloak lay his assortment of ninja tools: two slots of caltrops[32], two slots of kunai[10], two slots of senbon[114], one slot of throwing stars[15], one slot of explosive tags[80], all placed in Butt bags tucked under his outerwear, one on his left hip and the other on his right.

Of all these weapons, only his twin blades, shuriken, and senbon was coated in a deathly poison that would dwindle down his opponent's health over time by just coming into contact with a target's skin.

On the northern part of the arena, the Uchiha would be perched atop a fifteen meter tall pillar, about five meters from where he entered the arena. In his right hand, he held the longsword previously removed from its' empty sheath courtesy of the last fight. His gaze would travel southward, toward the other entrance, hoping to catch a glimpse of who his next kill would be.

— blood from his previous victim fell from his blade to the ground below.

TOGE IKEBANA

I WILL SHOW

NO MERCY

TO THOSE WHO DARE TO TRAMPLE

UPON THIS WORLD'S NATURAL BEAUTY!

At best, a blurr, if that.

Almost three hundred and thirty feet separated each contestant from the other. Even the most keen eye sight would be lucky to pick up on the other without some sort of augmentation. Toge could not pick up on the other at first. The true likely held true for his opponent, he figured, but he would not act under that presumption. Assuming meant death. And, a natural born coward, Toge would flee from his fear.

Still, the Ikebana was not afraid of the concept; only the process. Would it be quick? Painless? Would he suffer as the lights left his eyes? He did not know. Those uncertainties of how he could die were always back in the mind. In the back of every shinobi's mind.

...At least, that was the Toge Ikebana of old.

In a calm, yet elegant manner, Toge entered the southern side of the arena in a most dignified manner. His cold, brown eyes pierced the surroundings as he took in the surrounding view. Although he normally kept the lower part of his face concealed with the cloak that kept his Ikebana plants safely stored (consisting of sixty-three silene seeds and forty leaves, two rafflesia leaves, and twenty campion leaves in various pockets), as well as a tanto holstered from behind, and two kunai, he had the top part of that cloak lowered, exposing the components within, but making them far easier to grab in the process.

As a result of this, however, his cloak gave the appearance of something akin to flower petals in how it was divided up, each 'petal' containing one of the aforementioned items. The different shades of green did not help in trying to get away from that image, but Toge was an Ikebana; this eccentric apparel was just 'culture' in his eyes.

Toge's elegant brown hair moved to and fro in a gentle passing wind, taking in the surroundings. "Cover, existing material to utilize for a variety of situational elemental jutsu... the most logical thing to would be to get a scouting advantage if he was the first to enter..." Toge thought to himself, looking towards the pillars. He hadn't advanced very far; only five meters to truly get a taste for what he was getting into.

"If that's the case, then..." Toge shifted left, moving closer to the wall, rather than directly down the center path. He made sure that he would use the environment to his advantage, as he took the time to hide behind various columns as he made his way towards where his opponent was to start, staying vigilant the entire way through. He was prepared to attack, or defend.

OOC: My bad for the wait, bro.
just notes for myself
So we fighting at B-Rank.
Movements: 9+1(trait)
Hand seals: 45

At his current distance, there was no way for Itada damage his opponent, let alone emerge from this battle victorious. No matter how sharp his blades, they would not cut what wasn't within range. Understanding this, the first order of business was to close the distance between the two to something a little less spacy. Before that, however, the Uchiha would take a few moments preparing himself for the onslaught he was about to bring. Gripping his long sword tight within his right hand, his left hand seemingly began to dance; any of the shinobi world would be able to recognize such hand movements as handseals for chakra techniques. In this case, that's exactly what they were.

In mere seconds- if that- Itada had completed thirty seals with only his left hand— bringing about the fruition of his utilized Genjutsu. Upon completion of his techniques, he could feel his body succumb to the effects of his illusionist chakra, and he could feel the buffs he had applied taking place almost immediately. Throughout all this, his gaze never shifted from the south.

The distance was vast, too vast to see just what was over there, but there was two things Itada knew: 1. His opponent would enter opposite from his location. and 2. The relative set up of the arena from both sides was the same.

Taking this into account, the fifteen meter tall pillar Itada was perched upon would be mimicked on the southern side, almost symmetrically. In one moment, the Uchiha was formulating a plan based on his knowledge of the arena, and in the next moment he was on the southern side of the battle field. The speed of his traversal was instant, to say the least. The technique he used was not one of chakra, but one of the soul. It allowed him to traverse a distance of up to one hundred meters instantaneously. He would land in the same location he was previously(five meters from entrance, fifteen meters up), except he was no on his opponents side of the field.

Quick glances below, to the left and right in an effort to find his opponent. Whether his search yielded success or failure, one fluid motion repositioned his blade back within its' sheath as his hands flew into a frenzy once more. Chakra swelled within him as he cupped his hands over his mouth. He shot his technique downward at a diagonal angle, aiming to spread the blast of the fire through the pillars below and in front of him. The sheer volume of fire spewed forth would surely cause his opponent to show himself if he was on the ground, if not get burnt. This, of course, all depended on his opponent actually being within range of his wildfire.

Itada knew not his opponents location, but he'd scorch the whole arena if he had to.

Katon - Ryuuka no Jutsu (Dragon Fire Technique)
Rank: "C" ["B"] Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: The user quickly performs a large creation of blinding fire into the form of a large Dragon form. The Dragon must be used in the same concept as the Goukakyuu no Jutsu in which must be thrown by placing a hand in a circle form over the mouth of the user.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: This type of technique is better used if the opponent is bonded down and unable to be moved.
Description: A Large creation is created as the user performs the necessary handseals for the technique. As the user does so they raise their hand up over their mouth. By taking in a deep, breathe the user fills their lungs with chakra to in, which ignites the moment they blow out air. As the user blows out the creation of fire is made taking the form of a giant dragon like creature. The Dragon is quickly hurled towards the opponent as the dragon swivels and swerves moving like that of a Chinese Dragon. When first learned the Dragon does not explode forth but the very flames oozes out spreading out in all directions that would wrap around the opponent in a blaze of glory. When the user learns the "B" Rank version the user is capable of pushing so much power into the technique to where when it touches the target it is needed it is ignited in a mass blaze of glory, creating a grand explosion.
Limit: Must have the Fire Release
