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 50x50meters, 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[25m] 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 combatants 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 the 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.

[Inoryu]

    Having been physically lost for years in an unknown land, Inoryu's quest for power has finally come to this. He stepped onto the battlefield fully equipped with his butt bags holstering his four kunai, 30 shuriken, Elemental tags [Incendiary] (80), Elemental tags [Lightning] (80), and Elemental tags [Ice] (80). His tanto was strapped securely with a black sash, though he felt disappointed that he had yet to find a master to teach him its usage. He sighed as the thought floated to him and drifted away. 
    Inoryu observed the land around him. Ground ripe for earth style jutsu, pillars stationed throughout the area rising from ten to twenty meters high, even a pond for water jutsu stationed between the two opponents. As Inoryu inspected the battlefield, he took note of his opponent perched on top of one of the pillars; a longsword in his hand. I have to believe he is more proficient with that weapon that I am with the tanto. 
    Already a strategy was forming in Inoryu's mind. He was preparing for the most crucial fight of his life, one that would result in one of two ways: life or death. He had no regrets and felt rather nonchalant. He breathed in to enhance his calm demeanor, and stood in a natural, relaxed posture.

The Uchiha readied himself as he caught sight of his opponent opposite his location to the south(you forgot to mention where you are), right hand grip tightening around the handle of his blade. In the same movement, the Uchiha would both begin his progression toward his opponent and complete a set of handseals with only his left hand. He would have only taken a few steps before the technique preparation was complete and his chakra would birth to life, snaking its' way through the fifty meter distance that separated the two warriors with ease. Almost immediately would his opponent find his body being invaded by a foreign chakra, and he lacked the willpower to resist he would fall victim to the Uchiha's technique(Color Spray:DC27).

A few more hand seals danced amidst Sajin's next few steps, the Uchiha ringing about yet another jutsu for his opponent to deal with. This one however, was different from the previous: Ten meters in front of him and five meters to his left, Inoryu would notice something strange. One moment, the Uchiha was a fair distance away, and the next he was standing not too far away, blade in right hand and handseals being formed in his left hand. This of course, was another illusion. It would serve two purposes: first, it would distract his opponent for a quick second, and two, it would gauge his opponents ability to defend against his genjutsu[Major Image: DC29]

All the meanwhile, he steadily approached. From fifty, to forty, to about thirty five meters seperated the two at the moment, but his approach continued.

(Ah shucks then. Might as well join in and all, for my char is weak against genjutsu and maybe this might help him as much as me since I don't have that much experience in T1 combat. I think I'll post right after Jyuuken's post instead of now if you don't mind that much.)

[Inoryu]

SPOILER: Click to show

Color Spray only has a range of 15 meters, so ignoring that. Thank you Choku for your honesty. 

    Inoryu stood 50 meters directly opposite of his opponent and he prepared himself as his opponent made his relaxed advance. His opponent approached to a 35 meter range and a double of him appeared ten meters away from Inoryu performing handseals. Immediately Inoryu recognized it as an illusion, but Inoryu was also aware that illusions are capable of completing the handseals to execute a jutsu from the user. Acting as quickly as possible he drew a kunai and threw it at the real opponent to disrupt his concentration. Without sparing a second he sifted through a series of handseals. Eight replicas would appear in a cone between him and his opponent, each standing within 2 meters of at least 1 other figment or the user, mirroring his every movement.
    The mirror images would all in a flurry rush towards the opponent to cause confusion and close the thirty-five meter gap, mirroring the user exactly to add to the deception. While running toward him they drew out an explosive tag. The user hid himself on the left flank of two other charging images. He would be the second to be close enough to make contact. The right flank would charge in first and jump back to avoid a counter attack. Then the real Inoryu would have the opportunity to place the real exploding tag on him, retreat, and detonate the tag while the opponent was distracted by the third which would still appear to be charging him.

Detect Illusion

The duration of this technique lasts for 5 rounds per class level. This technique may be negated. Several illusory duplicates of the user pop into being, making it difficult for enemies to know which target to attack. The figments stay near the user and creates 2 more Mirror Images when struck. These Figments may separate from the user or remain in a cluster but must be within the meters radius. The user can move into and through a mirror image. When the user and the images separate, observers can't use vision or hearing to tell which one is the user and which the image. The figments may also move through each other. The figments mimic the user's actions, pretending to perform Jutsus when the user performs Jutsus, drink whenever the user drinks, and so on. While moving, the user can merge with and split off from figments so that enemies who have learned which image is real are again confounded. As long as a Mirror Image is struck it will continue to reproduce an extra until the duration runs out or negated.

[Enter]



From the inconspicuous east entrance of the arena, where only the whistles of the wind pervaded in deep contrast to the obvious ruckus that could be heard from near the south entrance of the arena, a lone figure emerged. The silhouette was diminutive in stature and the balls of its feet rolled over the ground almost effortlessly, creating an illusion of complete silence. The person was no doubt a shinobi, his headband imprinted neatly unto the scarf that stopped little above his nose. The intentions of the man were not entirely known, yet most could take a guess and realize that he had something to prove on this very arena.

From such distances, even if one’s peculiar eyesight could bypass the various pillars and obstacles that decorated the age-old showground, his form would be nothing more than a hard-to-see shadow. From much more closer distances, the man would be observed as one of the younger type of shinobi. Zooming in on his appearance, one would notice that the young man wore raven-coloured cloak of protection, in the form of a large, overflowing flak jacket. Concealed underneath it would be a single armor component of mithril chestplate, acting as a sort of hidden body armor. Another recent addition to this arsenal were the black and white combat boots that were covertly known as boots of speed.

Yet those merely made up the attire he dressed in. A plethora of half-pouches containing a slot of both Hira and Bo shurikens lined the interior of his jacket, as well as a single quick-loader full of 15 Northern wind on the exterior. A patrol pack containing 15 kunai, a slot of explosive force tags and a single, custom made grenade called Dragon Wind. Hanging loosely over him like a butt pouch, a medical pack contained: 1 healer’s gem, 2 troll stone, 10 military ration pills and 5 chakra gems. It was a steady arsenal all of it together, one that the shinobi could only pray wouldn’t fail him.

The enigmatic ninja continued on for about a few metres, and then it would be revealed that he also wore a stormium heavy shield on his back quite comfortably, followed by an ancient Kyuushi with a red and gold sheath by his side. At this time and position, the telltale signs of the ongoing battle were hard to notice but not impossible. The ninja didn’t have to be a sensor specialist to know the battle has already begun. His complex mind ran through some already-prepared strategies and plans. Having been surrounded by towering pillars and columns from most angles, the figure began to lay spider thread from column to column almost effortlessly. The webbing covered a 20 meter radius from the short man once he was done, and weaved its way through the pillars around it.

The silent soldier immediately began using act of Tree Climbing to ascend the nearest pillar, keeping the noise to a minimum. His intent was to get to higher ground and observe the ensuing battle that happened meters away, his victory would more than likely lie in being patient. The short man’s silhouette seemed even more imposing than before as he stood high, gazing without a word at the scene several meters away. His will at that moment was absolute. It was do or die.

Slight movement against a webbing thread will pull it all the way back to the user's finger and alert them to the nearby presence.
Limit: Must be of the Kumomusha Clan

[internets been down for a couple days. sorry for the wait ill have a post up later today. I'll tag you guys]

It seemed my opponent was well versed in the art of genjutsu. He had recognized my doppelganger as naught but a mere illusion, and in response ignored it completely, drawing a kunai and launching it directly at me in response. The metal tool was insignificant to say the least; what did he hope to accomplish by throwing a lone kunai my way? The damage it would cause was minimal, and there were few ways to alter its trajectory once the projectile was released, and at this distance, surely this man knew that his attempt would not strike; taking this into account, it could be assumed that it was simply a distraction for something more.

It was easy for me to side swipe the throwing knife, almost seamlessly did I slap the tool to the left(your right) with my blade. It would continue on its' path to wherever, followed by the blade I had released, yet it would leave me unharmed; only the sound of the two colliding with stone verified it reached a destination, and that it was relatively close, in a stone some odd meters away. Unhindered in my approach, the split second I had redirected my focus to dodge the kunai had caused me to miss out on the majority of the handseals my opponent had created, only catching the last few, and almost immediately did eight replicas of the man birth into existence, forming a cone shape originating from his original position.

In response, I stopped my forward approach completely.

These clones my opponent had created were one of two things: actual clones or illusions, the latter being applicable based on my opponent s quick revelation of my own genjutsu. Now empty handed, my hands flew into a frenzy of their own. I would wait until they were within fifteen meters to release my ninjutsu, cupping my right hand over my mouth and expelling a rather large wave of steaming black ash. This ash would cover twenty meters in front of me and stretch ten meters wide, easily encompassing my opponent and all his replicas as they steadily approached within range. This ash was dangerous; it not only hindered all vision within its' radius, but would instantly burn all who were caught within for a B rank amount of damage.

Eyes open, the Uchiha watched as his technique melted what it could in front of him. watching and waiting for any sign of his opponent.

Description: User forms the needed hand seals and focuses chakra to their throat and mouth. Inhaling, the user releases a large wave of steaming hot black ash from their mouth, out towards the opponent. The ash quickly covers an area of 10 meters wide and 20 meters in front of them, leaving the hot ash in a 30 meter Cone expelling from the user, 8 feet high into the air, in about 1 second. This ash hinders all sight while active, except DouJutsu. However only remains within the air for one turn (6 Seconds). This ash upon contact, will instantly burn whoever is caught within, leaving second degree burns (B Rank Damage) along the effected body parts.
Limit: Fire Release

[Inoryu]

    Inoryu charged with his eight illusory replicas but when he noticed his opponent weave through a series of handseals; Inoryu immediately went on the defensive and improvised. The Yamanaka pivoted ninety degrees with the goal to avoid a jutsu with a straight line trajectory. He and his replicas would appear to be a line running at a distance of two meters away from the other around the circumference of fifteen meters away from the opponent;the real body was second from the right. "He would have to effectively have to choose a target," Inoryu though, but he couldn't have been more wrong. An ash cloud protruded from the opponent's mouth and encompassed four of his replicas.
   
    Still running in the circumference, Inoryu barely had time to react when he realized that he was still in the jutsu's trajectory. At the very last moment before the jutsu reached him, he leaped for safety, coiling in the air to keep his sight on his opponent and jutsu. His replicas mirrored him.Two of the replicas would leap out of the ash cloud coiling in the air but having been struck, two more replicas would step away from them as they landed. 
   
    The two replicas last in the line couldn't escape the jutsu and kept their landing position while appearing to be burned by the ash. When the jutsu was over, they would stand in the clearing and two more replicas would have appeared to come out from them equaling a total of twelve replicas now in the area.

    Using the numbers to his advantage, he would draw two bo shuriken in the palm of his hand, aim briefly, and throw them so the Uchiha would perceive 24 shuriken being thrown from his 2 o' clock. The range of the bo shuriken was five meters, plus the additional five meters accuracy due to Inoryu's skill, and the additional five meters fairly accurate meters to the target. Inoryu had a fair chance at hitting the Uchiha with the two real shuriken from his range, but that was not the goal. The goal was to cause the Uchiha to react to the 24 shuriken headed his way to either exhaust his chakra or to set him up for an attack the next round.

[Master Game]

The silent sentinel keeping watch on top of the fifteen metre stone pillar, slowly pulled down the thick white cloth that served as his scarf from his nose back down to neck level. The name of the man staring down at the ongoing battle was Shoko Natamura, but names did not matter in a place with such little respect for human life.
The figure stared down intently at the ensuing battle, faint intrigue showing being the top layer of his facial expression. The skirmish was interesting to say the least, the two foes were using mostly genjutsu on each other. Yet from the view of an outsider watching on several metres away and nearly unnoticeable, it was quite hard to tell, especially being since one usually had to be under the influence of mind-affecting techniques to know when one was being performed. But the multiplying clones had given it away, or at least provided him the basis for suspicion of it being genjutsu. In his eyes they had to be illusions, no other clones he knew of except for a specific type of suiton clone could multiply after being hit. And there was nothing water-related about that jutsu.

Either way, Shoko Natamura continued to watch. No knowledge was wasted. Every movement, every handseal, every attack and every dodge was taken in by the enigmatic young fellow. The young man wouldn't be able to memorise all of it, but he would make do with the information he had. His next course of action already being contemplated.
