Arena

As always, battle rules apply.

Rolling a dice to see who goes first.

Takuya: Even
Shiro: Odd

Roll

First post goes to Shiro.

[Masakuni]

Shiro stood quietly in the battlefield, staring down at his opponent. A faint wind tossled his hair, lifting it from over his green eyes briefly. He swept it back, retying his headband. This was no time to have his hair in his eyes. His opponent was a leaf nin, it seemed, and dressed, unsuprisingly, in green. A mask concealed most of his face, and brown and white hair was lifted from onyx eyes by a Konoha headband. Shiro glanced at the examiner, feeling the needles in his pockets, tied to bells.

A drop of the hand from the examiner set the round beginning, and Shiro's eyes were focused to his opponent instantly. He leaped backwards, placing an extra amount of distance between himself and his opponent. He formed a quick series of hand seals, letting his kikaichu swarm out of his body and into the burning sun. The gathered quickly, forming an exact replica of Shiro in a matter of moments. Shiro would then twirl his Mateki from it's holster, bringing it to his lips and beginning to play.

A faint tune of horror drifted over the stadium, striking fear into the hearts of those who listened. Shiro would wait, a fair distance away, with his debilitating solo bouncing off the stone walls. Hopefully, the tune would catch his opponent off guard, and would frighten him enough to allow the Mushi Bunshin to strike him, for it's fist was pulled back and ready to strike. Even if the attack was blocked, Shiro was ready...

He grinned as he continued to play. Never, ever underestimate an Aburame...

Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Creates a clone made out of bugs.
Special: Rat, Dragon, Ram, Horse, Monkey, Dog
Drawback: Will dissipate after one solid hit.
Description: The user performs the handseals, creating a clone of bugs. This clone will dissipate after one solid hit.

Special: Flute
Drawback: Only lasts as long as the flutist plays the tune (Can only be played for a max of 5 posts) The tune does not discriminate between friend or foe, only the flutist is unaffected.
Description: The doubt and fear the fill the victim(s) causes then to question their every action, as well as making their attacks much less effective due to the fact that they doubt it will be worth it at all, thus it is much easier for the flutist to successfully incapacitate the victim(s) of the Genjutsu; since they will fear and doubt that doing anything would help at all.
Limit: Only a Genjutsu Specialist can learn and only with a flute can it be performed.

[I C H I R O™]

<sup>As the villagers and shinobi that filled the blechers of the arena behind the large stone walls shouted, Takuya stood with his eyes closed. Several trees along the inside of the stone walls, small hills he'd say just a few feet or inches from the circular inside stadium area he stood in and medium to small sized patches of grass. He memorized these features of the arena and opened his eyes. His opponent had been staring him down, but he didn't care that he was doing so. Shiro had glanced to the proctor of the exam and he gave the signal. At this time, Shiro pulled a flute from his side and began to play a fear inflicting tone.

Takuya's heart pounded as the melody ran through his ears. He smirked only because he wasn't really afraid of anything. Hopefully this melody wouldn't have such a drastic effect because of this. Squeezing his mouth shut and swallowing, he looked at the two bug clones that had been formed. He thought just for a moment, what he should do...against his will thinking "what if" for every movement he would make. His mind was pierced, but there was still much he could do, fear wasn't his thing. He slowly lifted his hands from his side, fidgeting, placed his hands together as if he would begin to pray.

His fingers lined up with one another, and he slid them past their opposites on the other hand, having them slowly intertwine and rest in between the knuckles on each hand. He then twisted his hands and moved them in several other handseal forms finally coming to a sudden stop. His heart still pounding, he waited for a moment, "No..that...won't...work." He stopped his chakra channeling and waited a few moments, thinking...what could be done. He stared his opponent down as he continued the tune playing. He stood slightly shaken, "Your melody sucks..."

He continued to fidget and shake as he stood in place, his fingertips beginning to lose temperature...becoming cold. In his condition, he wouldn't be able to fight using Taijutsu, this wouldn't be smart at all. This fear inflicting Jutsu was one he had never seen. As he stood in place, he pulled some wire from his pocket and secretly wrapped it around his hands but in between his thumbs. He then slowly moved his hand across his chest lowering it to the tan pouch on the back of his belt. Opening the pouch, he moved his hand through the supplies inside and pulled two Hikari Light Bombs from his pocket {3/5}.

He examined the arena again and then shifted his eyes back onto Shiro and sighed, shivering. With the wire still around his hands, he tossed the two bombs to the ground in front of his opponent and stepped forward, while spinning one hundred-eighty degrees around and closing his eyes. With the two light bombs going off and temporarily blinding his opponent, he would spin back around and leap forward swiping the thin wire through the two clone's necks and then launch a swift roundhouse kick toward Shiro's face. While throwing the kick and in his lowered position, he would wrap a little of the wire around Shiro's ankles seperately and lengthen it. Whether the kick hit or not, he would TRY to jump back before he was caught offguard.

The light bombs would also stop the melody from being played at least for a few moments.</sup>

[Masakuni]

Shiro watched his opponent shiver, smirking. That smirk didn't last long, however, as he saw his opponent make him moves. Hikari! He thought, closing his eyes instinctively, his mouth still playing away in the fearsome melody. He opened his eyes after the flash has passed, his vision still intact but blurred. Not a good state, he reflected, his clone dissipating into kikaichu as he went. Obviously, however, his opponent didn't know much about Aburame, for as soon as the clone was disassembled the kikaichu from the clone would swarm onto him, attempting to consume his chakra and shut down his body.

Shiro threw up his arms, wincing slightly as the round house impacted his arms. That would bruise later on. He moved back slightly, pulling his kunai and swiping it through the thin wire Takuya had attempted to wrap around his ankles. With a little effort it sliced through, and he quickly returned it to his pouch.

"Do you really think I'd let you wrap wire in the middle of a fight?" Shiro said, chuckling. His next motion would bring out a pair of senbon from his pockets, with bells tied to each of them. He leaped and body flickered (1/3), making the distance between him and his opponent ten meters. He then hurled the senbon, embedding them in the earth beside his foe. The bells jangled as the moved through the air, releasing discordant music into the air. As they finished their motion Shiro would tug on the wires attached to them, sending more music shaking into Takuya's head.

With another motion he withdrew a kunai from his pocket, charging forward. He would make no fancy motions, just a simple run, his kunai held at the ready. He would attempt to slash across his foe's chest, not killing him but certainly doing severe damage if he suceeded. He could only hope that in his weakened state Takuya wouldn't be able to deal with the attack...

Suzu Senbon no Genkaku (Illusion Bell Needles)
Rank: "D" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu / GenJutsu
Effect: A technique where the bells created is used at a certain frequency so then the opponent feels disoriented in which the sound affects directly along the brain making the opponent see as if perhaps they are seeing more than one after image of the user.
Special: Must have the Bells
Drawback: May affect the user if they are within the same distance.
Description: This technique lasts for one post which is enough time for the user to take the time to attack with more of a decicive and a more of an important tactical attack. When the opponent is hit with this attack the opponent feels nausious and the sense of balance is compromised to the point where the user feels they wish to throw up. As this occurs the vision of the opponent becomes blurry and doubled. With the small bell the maximum distance of this technique is ten meters.
Limit: Sound Release, must have a weapon so then the bell is affected along with it.

[I C H I R O™]

<sup>Feeling his kick make contact with Shiro, Takuya noticed his wire had been cut and the saw the large amount of bugs heading for him. He Leaped backward evading the bugs and climbed to his feet still shaken from the melody that was being played. He looked on as senbon were pulled out and then planted in the ground beside him. He looked to Shiro and noticed he had jumped away then shifted his sight to the other Shiro and saw it had began to fade away. Without notice, a sudden jangle-like noise which sent some disturbing music into his ears went off. His eyes shot open and he clenched his stomach and stumbled forward a moment. Feeling like he was ready to vomit, he held himself and began to lose sight...he began to blur. The bells tugged and sent more music thorough his ears, making him grind his teeth together in frustration.

Shiro then decided to take the chance to deliver a combat strike, rushing toward him. As his opponent neared him, now looking to be in three due to his blurring sight, he shook his head trying to regain clear sighting and noticed the three had pulled kunai. Thinking at the moment this happened, he too began to sprint forward, only stopping just two feet from Shiro. He stepped backward to turn away and tripped himself to fall onto his knees, but came to a position where only the tip of the kunai would hit him. He took the strike, letting the kunai rip through his clothing and go scratching across his chest, drawing him a small amount of blood. He winced in pain and took advantage of the position while it began to burn.

With a split second left, as Shiro went slightly past him, since Shiro would be off-guard having went past him, Takuya secretly pulled more wire from his pocket and secretly tried to tagged Shiro's ankle in such a way that he wouldn't feel it. With the wire being wrapped around both his hands again, he pulled them apart lifting Shiro's leg into the air. Crouching and slightly spinning, he concentrated chakra to the sole of his foot, slid it above the dirt ground, sending it into the boy's grounded leg. In an instant, with his opponent airborne, he positioned himself under him and sent his chakra concentrated palm up toward and hopefully into his opponent's chest cavity in the process of shouting, "Power Palm Strike!"

With each moment he moved being aggravated by the bells being used, Takuya became more frustrated, and even more determined to win.</sup>

Konoha Reppû (Leaf Whirlwind)
Rank: "D" Rank
Description: Utilizing their quickness and agility, the user will perform a spinning kick to sweep his/her opponent off their feet.

Name: Power Palm Strike (Kensei Hira Dageki)
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: Taijutsu, offensive
Effect: In description
Special: None
Drawback: If missed, it will leave Takuya vulnerable for a short period of time.
Description: Focusing chakra to the palm of his hand, Takuya will approach an opponent and thrust his palm forward toward the opponent’s chest cavity, almost the most vulnerable place on the body. Due to the chakra focused to the palm of the hand, the strike will apply a great deal of damage if directly landed, making it harder for Takuya’s opponent to breathe and run/evade for a short period of time, giving Takuya the upper hand for that period of time. NOTE: The chakra focused to the palm of the hand isn’t exerted in any way like the Hyuuga clan. It’s just focused to the palm of the hand for extra damage on contact.
Limit: Must be able to focus chakra to the palm of hand and be able to hold the chakra in that spot. Also the technique must be learned. The enemy will be out of breathe for 2-3 rounds.

[Masakuni]

Shiro felt himself disbalance as a foot struck his lower leg, sending him falling towards the ground. He quickly slashed out at the wire that had been yanked at, cutting himself loose. His eyes widened as he saw the palm descend, and he smirked. A quick burst of chakra exited his body as he was struck by the palm, leaving nothing but a log in his place to be smashed. He grinned from within the trees. He loved the Kawarimi.

Hand seals flowed from his hands, ending with a quick grin from Shiro. An image of a snake would appear from within the log, fifteen meters away, leaping from nowhere to snap at Takuya's face. Perhaps he had no fear, but a sudden snake attack was enough to trigger anyone's reflexes. He leaped out of the trees after that, taking advantage of the confusion. One his arms he carried three unique kikaichu, though one such as Takuya would know little about them.

As soon as he reached Takuya he would strike out with his hands, attempting to punch the Leaf Nin in the face. Whether he struck him or not was not a concern. As long as physical contact existed, Shiro would plant the three upon Takuya's shoulders, sending the three kikaichu scurrying the joint that connected his shoulder to his neck.

Shiro would then jump back, forming a quick series of hand seals. Thinking to himself Katsu. He grinned, causing the kikaichu to explode in tiny explosions, with as much strength as if three shuriken had just thudded into Takuya. Hopefully, that would be enough to immobilize the Leaf Nin's arm or even to knock him out.

Magen: Narakumi no Jutsu (Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique)
Rank: "D" "C" "B" "A" "S"Rank
Skill: GenJutsu
Effect: A Genjutsu in which causes the opponent to see a grand horrifying vision. A Technique that is used by most of the ANBU kind but is known for all GenJutsu users in order to scare their opponents greatly hoping to perhaps make them run off in fear.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: The GenJutsu Non Specialist is only capable of learning up to the "B" Rank version of this technique. Depending on the Rank of the technique is dependent on how well, how far, as well as how large the user is capable of using this technique.
Description: The user creates and holds the rat handsign. As the user does so the figment of leaves begins to circle all around in circular fashion as the opponent is engulfed into the GenJutsu. Then the technique takes in place as what the user wishes the opponent to see they are capable of seeing. The figment however has to be considered to be a horrifying state of creation. When first learned the user is capable of creating horrifying images within Tiny to Small size. The user is also capable of creating an image within a Twenty Meter radius of the user. When the user learns the "C" Rank version they are capable of creating Medium to Large Size horrifying creations with a distance of Thirty Meters in radius of the user. "B" Rank allows them to create a Huge Size horrifying creation with a distance of Forty Meters. "A" Rank allows them to create a Gargantuan Size horrifying creation with a distance of Fifty Meters. "S" Rank allows them to create a Horrifying image of Sixty meters. If the user is a GenJutsu Specialist by the time they learn the "B" Rank version of the technique the user is capable of creating the image without the figment of leaves as a basis. With a GenJutsu Master the user is capable of creating the figment image without the figment of leaves as a basis when they learn the "C" Rank version of the technique. NonSpecialist will always create the figment of leaves.
Limit: GenJutsu Specialist is capable of going into all ranks of this technique.

Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Causes a specific bug to explode.
Special: Horse, Dragon, Ram, Rabbit, Tiger
Drawback: Can only create up to three explosive bugs.
Description: The user creates three special kikaichu by wrapping the bugs in chakra. This chakra is explosive, yet will not explode until the user performs the handseals, ending with the Tiger seal. The explosion is small- creating about a wound about the same size that a shiruken cut would be. The user can only control three of these explosive bugs at a time, however.
Limit: Kikaichu no Jutsu, Katon no Jutsu

[Chuunin Examiner 3]

I believe the time limit has expired.

IIC time for these battles will be 2 days. The one that has the first post has 2 days to make it. Should they not, the other may. If another two days pass, the one who has not posted forfiets the round. If 2 days go without a post after the battle has started, the recent attack automatically hits.

Proceed as if the most recent attacks auto hit.

[Masakuni]

Shiro grinned, the explosion going off without a hitch. He watched as the blast sent Takuya's arm dangling uselessly at his side, as well as tearing a fair chunk of flesh from his shoulder. He formed quick hand seals again, feeling the flow of his chakra within him like a raging fire. His kikaichu swarmed from his body, forming into a clone that would race behind the no doubt dazed Takuya, grabbing his wounded arm and pulling it sharply, scattering pain into his body. With another motion Shiro would extend his arm, more kikaichu scurrying forth.

He would form a quick tiger seal, planting a female kikaichu on Takuya's chest and letting the rest swarm forward, draining at the Lead Nin's chakra. The clone behind him would burst into kikaichu, sending even more of the bugs unto the shinobi of Konoha. Beset by chakra consuming insects from all sides, with a useless arm, the boy would find himself hard placed to fight, or even move. Shiro leaped back, his kunai held at the ready in place of a miracle. He wasn't worried, however. Even a Substitution Technique couldn't save the boy now, for the kikaichu would simply cling to his body and change locations with him.

"It's simply a difference in strength." Shiro said, his voice soft but easy enough for Takuya to hear. Unless some miracle were to occur, Shiro very much expected that this battle was over. Hell, the boy couldn't even perform hand seals with a disabled arm. Shiro glanced at the Chuunin Examiner, signaling that now would be a good time to step in before the kikaichu consumed all of the boy's life force. He then affixed his gaze to the boy once more, his kunai ready. He would not be taken by suprise...

Mushi Bunshin no Jutsu
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Creates a clone made out of bugs.
Special: Rat, Dragon, Ram, Horse, Monkey, Dog
Drawback: Will dissipate after one solid hit.
Description: The user performs the handseals, creating a clone of bugs. This clone will dissipate after one solid hit. When the user first learns this jutsu, they are capable of only creating one Mushi Bunshin. However, with B ranked training, they may increase that number by one. This training may be performed a maximum of 9 times, allowing for a maximum ten bug clones.
Limit: Kikaichu no Jutsu

Kikaichu Tracking (Destruction Bug Tracking)
Rank: D
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user to find a female kikaichu by covering it in a small amount of chakra and sending it towards an opponent. The kikaichu will land and remain motionless while emitting a scent that the male kikaichu can smell as well as allowing the user to understand the location through the chakra.
Special: Tiger handseal to cover the bug in chakra; then launching the bug at the opponent without their knowledge.
Drawback: If the opponent discovers the bug, they can remove it, giving off a false information to the person using it as a tracking device.
Description: The user performs the Tiger handseal to cover the female kikaichu in chakra. The bug then flies off towards the opponent, moving stealthily to avoid detection. It is very small and difficult to see. Once it has landed on the opponent, the user can use both the chakra and the scent that it excretes to the males of its kind to allow the user to always be able to track the opponent.
Limit: Kikaichu no Jutsu

[I C H I R O™]

<sup>Takuya winced in pain and grinded his teeth together, keepin a grip on the pain that was inflicted by the explosion of the two bugs. With a chunk of his flesh being removed he instantly knew he couldn't continue. No matter how much he wanted to there was no way he could continue like this. Not able to form handseals...he'd might as well be a simple little kid. He closed his eyes and loked back on how much he trained, being caught behind by a bug clone, which grabbed his arm. He shouted out in pain as it squeezed and pulled a senbon from his weapon holster. As a large swarm of tiny bugs headed toward him, he slashed at the clone's arm holding him just as it too broke into tiny bugs.

Leaping backward, he grinned as the bugs neared him and pulled a Hikari light bomb from his tan weapon pouch. Tossing it to the ground he closed his eyes and waited as it exploded. Moving to attack when the flash cleared he fell to one knee and looked to Shiro and then the proctor. He was being drained by several bugs because of the female that had been placed on his body. He shakily against his will nodded his head to the proctor signalling his surrender. If there was anything he could do he would most definitely do it but he hadn't enough strenght to form handseals. "I......surrender..." Takuya spoke these words as his heart pound and he thought of himself heading back to the village as another mere Genin. He was the last Genin to have the opportunity to become a Chuunin and lost it.

He'd rather quit the match now knowing he had reached his limits before he ran out of chakra instead of when he did...he closed his eyes and grinned clenching his free fist.</sup>

OOC: Sorry if this is a crappy post..kinda tired..I hate givin up..

[Chuunin Examiner]

"Stop!"

Though he'd been curious if the leaf shinobi could fight his way out of the situation he'd been put in, he was also mildly relieved that the boy had quit when he did. They could fix his arm, but it would be much more difficult to return his life to him should things go too far. Waving his hand, a few medics from the entry way quickly rushed out, helping Takuya back up to his feet. "Get the boy some medical attention." Looking down at the boy, the proctor grinned. "Don't be to hard on yourself. Better to live to try again then die on the first shot, aye?" With that said, he would allow the medical shinobi to lead the boy off.

Stepping a bit further out into the arena, he lifted his hand once more. "Victory goes to Aburame Shiro!"

[Masakuni]

"..."

Shiro opened his eyes, vision once again blurred from the Hikari. He watched as his opponent surrendered. He sighed in relief, pocketing his kunai as medics rushed unto the scene. Takuya was wise in surrendering before he died, Shiro reflected. No sense, as the proctor said, dying on the first try.

"You fought well." He said softly, nodding to Takuya. He gave another brisk nod to the exam proctor, and then turned and swiftly marched out of the arena. Perhaps he would see who else was fighting.

-Exit-
