Round 3 Matchup: Nirashi vs Raikou

[Chuunin Examiner]

Arena

Exams Rules

As always, battle rules apply.

Rolling a dice to see who goes first.

Nirashi: Even
Raikou: Odd

Roll

First post goes to Raikou.

[Raikou!]

This is it.

Raikou stands firm, in the middle of a large arena. Sweat drips down his face and brow as his heart flutters with excitement. Across from him stands his opponent, a sand ninja. This person stands in front of Raikou for one reason and one reason only, to stop his dreams from coming true. This was something that Raikou had worked so hard for. His entire life up to this point was all training for this moment. The moment to finally prove to everyone, including himself, that he was ready to be a chuunin. He could not allow this person to stand in his way. He could not allow anybody to stand in his way. Becoming chuunin was his goal, and it was his destiny to make it happen.

A soft breeze blew across the battlefield. Grass and brush moved in unison as the wind tossed them around ever so gently. The sun sits high in the sky, showering the earth with its warmth. A rather quaint image, that was soon to be disturbed by an explosion of battle. Raikou breaths softly as he stares at his opponent. Using his peripheral vision he watched as the proctor raise his hand softly. This was it. The proctor dropped his hand and signaled the battle to begin.

Perfectly timed with the proctors signal, a light bomb ignites at Raikou's feet. His entire body from the neck down in covered by a long black cloak. This allowed Raikou to conceal simple movements such as hand seals from his opponent or any one else. He held the light bomb in his hand since he entered the arena, just for the purpose of dropping it the instant the battle begun. Just a little planning ahead on his part.

The flash blinds half the crowd, and hopefully his opponent as well. There was eve a good chance that the proctor was caught off guard. An instant after the blinding flash, Raikou creates a number of hand seals at outrageous speed. Jumping to left as he completes the hand seals, the water in a gourd located on his back begins to evaporate. A mist begins to cascade out from underneath his cloak, quickly enveloping the entire arena. This would be a private match, the crowd would see nothing.

The moment after his first jutsu completes, he activates his Byakugan. This gave him complete sight of the battle field, while his opponent would have none. His opponent would soon gain his sight back soon, so Raikou quickly grabbed two kunai with exploding tags wrapped around the handle, and threw them at his opponent. As soon as they would reach a close proximity to his opponent, they would explode magnificently.

These were Raikou's first moves. All of them have been planned out since the moment he realized he had made in to the finals of the chuunin exams. Hopefully everything would pan out as well as it does inside his head. This was it.

Kirigakure no Jutsu (Hidden Mist Skill)
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: A Skill where a user uses the water around them to create a massive mist to fill around the user.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: ---
Description: A skill which creates a very dense fog that descreases the surrounding visibility to near zero. It produces an environment perfect for a silent assassin who follows an opponent through sound. This mist can not be blown away by any type of Wind Jutsu.
Limit: Water Release

Byakugan
Rank: "C" "B" "A"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: Allows the user
Special: ---
Drawback: Byakugan user has a 360 degree field of vision, with the exception of a small blind spot behind the user's first thoracic vertebrae (as stated in the manga). Lacks the power of Analysis. This is demonstrated in an anime filler arc by Ranmaru, who created false chakra circulatory systems through the use of a dōjutsu (possibly a bloodline limit), causing the Byakugan to see inanimate objects as people and the objects themselves at the same time. However, it is not considered canon in a filler episode that a Byakugan user is unable to see the workings of such an "illusion".
Description: Can see the minuscule chakra pressure points. With the use of certain hand seals, it also has telescopic, X-ray, and thermal vision. The Byakugan is the key to Konohagakure's strongest Taijutsu, the Jūken, as it allows the user to see the chakra circulatory system of an opponent. Each level of its insight can therefore be mystified by proper means. When first learned they are capable of seeing up to fifty yards in a 360 Degree radius except for that blind spot. Each time learned this amount of distance is increased by ten yards. When the user reaches up to a distance of One hundred yards the amount of training is increased to that of "B" Rank Level Training. The amount of distance is still increased by ten. When the user reaches up to a distance of Four Hundred Yards the user is capable of seeing even further but with an amount of A Rank Training.
Limit: Must be part of the Hyuuga Bloodlimit.

[N I R A S H I]

Nirashi stood firm and kept aware of his surroundings. He carefully, analyzed the arena, noting a few things, nothing major at the moment. He knew he had no sand to work with in this location, but that would only be a minor set back for him, for he carried his gourd packed with sand. The first thing he did as he entered was unplug the gourd for it was something he, as a Sand Ninja, utilized very much.

Now, the time had come. The finals of the Chuunin Exams, and before him, his opponent, Raikou was the one standing in his way, standing in the way of his dream. Nirashi had the will to become a Chuunin and he had to show some great skills in honor of his village and home, Sunagakure. As he scanned Raikou he took note of the stern, cold white eyes, staring him down noticing Raikou was a Hyuuga. Nirashi had never faced a Hyuuga, so he knew this would be a very interesting battle, but despite his lack of combat with the clan, he knew much about them, for they were widely known. Another thing he took notice to was the Headband of Raikou, seeing the young shinobi was from the Cloud Village. Nirashi had previously met two members of Kumo and they both seemed mysterious and powerful, so he couldn't wait to see what the village produced.

Nirashi kept a calm, blank look across his brown skinned face. His expression, something you probably couldn't read into no matter what eyes you had. However, inside Nirashi was...pumped! He had confidence in his skills and to please his Kazekage and show other Kages of Sands power he definitely would perform his best here and now. Taking in a breathe as the examiner threw his hand down marking the start of battle, Nirashi narrowed his eyes as he awaited his opponent movement, remaining sound and focused. Before he knew, it the field which was once clear, was now covered in a thick mist. This took the shinobi off at first, wondering why a Cloud Ninja would possess such a skill, but remembering Raikou's Byakugan he definitely rationilized why Raikou would use such a skill.

Afraid, Nirashi wasn't. Not one ounce of fear entering his mind or body, not yet at least. Okay, he's covered the field in a mist, so I bet he's activated his Byakugan, so he can see as if the area was clear. So, the one at a disadvantage currently is me. Damn! I really can't take this guy on up close, however if I can locate him or throw him off maybe I can get him. If things get out of hand there is a little ace I can use. Nirashi's vision was hindered and almost rendered useless in the thick mist, so he would have to rely on other traits given to him, like his hearing and feeling. In a situation like this, I'll definitely have to take advantage of my disadvantage. For now though I'll capitalize on my vision, with The Third Eye. Sand seeped from the gourd and into Nirashi's hands, his palms open and receptive. Nirashi then clenched his fist tightly, and inside his fist, an eye of sand.

Nirashi smiled happy with his creation and sent the eyeball forward, using his chakra as a thread to keep it connected. Nirashi had his finger over his left eye, so the jutsu would be active. As the Third Eye roamed and watched, progressing forward as Nirashi slowly gave small bits of chakra, the eye quickly took note to passing objects, something Nirashi was alerted of. Nirashi knew his reaction time would have to be rather quick, so no time for handseals. The ninja took his fingers off his left eye, causing the eye of sand to collaspe and slide on thee ground towards Nirashi and his gourd. The young shinobi then forcefully slammed the palms of both of his hands into the ground.

"Mud Overturn!" He exclaimed, a rectangular slab of rock shooting up and catching the kunai just in time. Nirashi hoped back quickly from the slab getting out of the way of whatever Raikou had coming next. Nirashi was now on the defense, somewhere he never thinks himself extremely capable, but somehows makes his way there. Before another thought could enter his mind the slab of rock exploded furiously pebbles and small pieces of rock being shot in all directions. Nirashi covered himself properly, however he was hit by a few rocks, but nothing major luckily. The battle had started and the heat on!

Making a handseal, Nirashi created a simple Buushin of himself, apparently as a test of Raikou's Byakugan and to possibly locate the ninja. Okay, if I can throw him off or somehow figure his location, maybe I can get on the offense!

Bunshin no Jutsu (Clone Skill)
Type: GenJutsu
Rank: E-rank
This is a basic technique known to most Genin. Bunshin no Jutsu creates a clone of the user, which can be used as a means to create a diversion, distraction, or cause confusion. Like Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Art of the Shadow Doppelganger), these clones will simply disappear if come into contact, but unlike Kage Bunshin, they are substanceless, and thus cannot do any damage. Bunshin no Jutsus have no Shadows what so ever

Daisan no Me (The Third Eye)
Rank: "D"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: A technique that allows the user the capability of using their sand to where they can create an eye. This eye of sand is used for spying purposes and information gathering purposes. A simple technique known within the Sand Regiments.
Special: ---
Drawback: When the user uses this technique they are unable to use one of their eyes. Reasons for this is because they need to be capable of seeing and the mind is unable to process so many images. Lack of better words the user litterally uses his own eye to see by using Sand. When the user learns this very technique the user is however only capable of using this technique within the distance of how well he is capable of controlling Sand.
Description: The user creates a simple eye that is in the color of brown. The sand is condensed to the point it solidifies and looks like that of an eye. The user keeps a small string of sand that is lined with chakra in order to allow the user to still see.

Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: The user slams their hands down against the very ground as the ground pushes up in a massive like creation to become a defense against onslaught like attacks.
Special: "Handsigns"
Drawback: "C" Rank and "B" Rank versions are not perfect, a strong drilling like attack is capable of pushing through the attack. For Techniques of "A" and "S" Rank Version a strong technique of same rank in a drilling fashion must be used in order to get through.
Description: The user uses their chakra and concentrates greatly along the very attack. The user slams their hands down against the very ground after performing a few handseals as the user concentrates to push up the ground up in a small distance. The distance of the technique is dependent of the knowledge of Doton Soushi no Jutsu (Rock Creation Technique) and the difficulty class the user is for the technique.
Limit: Needs the Earth Release, Must have knowledge of Doton Soushi no Jutsu (Rock Creation Technique). Depending on the rank of the Technique the user wishes to learn is dependent on the Doton Soushi no Jutsu (Rock Creation Technique) needs to know.

[N I R A S H I]

Eek! Yes I have. Thank you Koori, I've made some edits to my post. The Light Bombs is something I don't really have to add in, since I never said Nirashi saw any movements of Raikou. But, I guess I could put in a little info on that. Thank You Koori!

[Raikou!]

Raikou watched closely as his exploding kunai crash into an earth wall. His opponent was either clever or lucky. However, Raikou did not just stand and watch his opponent defend his move. The moment his kunai left his hands, Raikou prepared another series of hand seals. Watching his opponent, while preparing an attack, was an easy feat of multitasking for Raikou. With an abrupt stop of his hands, the last of Raikou's water in his gourd empties and splashes to the ground. Instantly the large puddle forms into five water clones, ready to attack. All the while Raikou still keeps an eye on his opponent.

Just as he created his clones, it seemed his opponent did as well. Obviously his opponent did not fully understand the power of the Byakugan, otherwise he would never make such a fool hearted mistake. Raikou could see the chakra system inside of people. His opponent created a simple clone, an illusion, a genjutsu with no chakra circulatory system. It would take no effort at all to tell them apart, this was the true power of the Byakugan.

Raikou through a single shuriken at his opponent. It would cause minor damage if it connected, but that was not its true purpose. The shuriken was meant to direct his clones to his opponent. Sadly his clones did not possess the power of the Byakugan, so Raikou himself had to lead them. The moment it flicked from his wrist, the five clones sprinted after it, hopefully meeting with their opponent. Raikou however stayed back and began to make more hand seals.

Four clones of Raikou appeared from the mist. These clones were meant just as extra defense, if his opponent some how managed to make it to him. With his five water clones attacking, Raikou would sit back and watch closely, waiting for the best moment to strike himself.

The shuriken thrown was aimed at the ground just before his opponents feet, near the destroyed wall. The thud of it hitting the ground, and the over all direction it was thrown, would most likely lead the clones directly to Raikou's opponent. Running in a line shoulder to shoulder, they would entrap their opponent in a horse shoe formation, wrapping around him. They would go in for some minor taijutsu as kicks and punches.

Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu (Water Clone)
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect:
Special: Handseals
Drawback:
Description: Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique that utilizes water to create a Bunshin clone. Unlike a normal Bunshin, the Mizu Bunshin has the ability to interact more with the environment due to it having physical substance. This allows the clone to carry out limited attacks on its target. The range of the clone is limited; however, it can not travel very far from the original body. If the Mizu Bunshin is injured, the clone will usually revert back into its natural water state. When first learned the user is capable of having or capable of creating up to Five Clones. Each time learned the user learns this technique the number of Clones is capable of increasing by one. The maximum amount of clones is Ten for the Difficulty Class of D Rank. For each Difficulty Rank Increase the number increases by five of maximum but learning is still one per learned.
Limit: Water Release

Oboro Bunshin no Jutsu (Mist Clone Skill)
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: Allows a user to create clones out of Mist.
Special: Serpent, Tiger, Dragon, Monkey, Bird, Tiger
Drawback: ----
Description: A technique which creates clones with the properties of mist. Although the clones are unable to inflict damage on an opponent, any physical attacks attempted on them pass right through. Depending on the user's class level is dependent on how well and how much the user is capable of performing at one given time. If the user is "D" Class they are capable of performing four Clones at once. If the user is "C" Class they are capable of performing eight clones at once. If the user is "B" Class they are capable of performing sixteen clones at once. If the user is "A" Class they are capable of performing thirty two clones at once. If the user is "S" Class they are capable of performing sixty four clones at once. If the user is to be considered a non NinJutsu specialist the number is reduced by two for every class level that the user becomes, and if the user is a NinJutsu Master the number increases by two for every class level they become.
Limit: Water Release

[N I R A S H I]

Nirashi looked around intentively paying close attention to all occuring. It was quiet, calm, and content. The atmosphere had a feeling of blood lust and death, Nirashi had to stay focused and unturned. He couldn't let such a disadvantage get to him in the head, he had to overcome and figure a way out of the mist. Nirashi definitely had to think and had to think quick. Unfortunately, nothing was coming to him at the moment...nothing.

As Nirashi continued to look around and stayed on his toes, trying to stay sound as possible. Before he knew it...BAM! A shuriken had forcefully plunged into his left arm, Nirashi's eyes opened wide and a small screech heard. He knew his opponent knew of his location and now knew he wasn't safe. He mind raced as he rambled and searched for a quick solution. As he looked around his eyes darting left to right he noticed incoming shadows. He knew now he had to act before Raikou could react once again, so he pushed chakra through his gourd causing the sand to seep out rapidly slapping the ground forcefully. In a split second Nirashi was above all, ontop his platform of sand.

He panted atop as he pulled out the shuriken which had connected with his left arm. Nirashi didn't panic, since he was atop the sand platform. He was calm and content, knowing the chances of Raikou attacking him effectively was low, he was above something Raikou probably would never expect or anticipate. Nirashi began to breathe in and out at a calm pace and reached into his gourd grabbing a handful of sand. He then began to place the sand of his wound and apply chakra, mending the wound and creating a bandage stopping the blood from flowing out of his body before he bled to death.

Nirashi was quite high, however, still in the depths of the mist. However, his visibility had risen slightly, but still he was at a disadvantage. Nirashi knew nothing of the clones of water which Raikou created, for he never came in contact with them, so he was above all, unknowning of what was below. He was above now, so he might as well take advantage of his position and use a strong, widespread attack to assualt Raikou below.

Nirashi took in a deep breathe, channeling his chakra in his stomach. His cheeks blew up and he brung his hands to his mouth. He finally released a strong, wide blast of wind, which should definitely connect with Raikou and anything down below seeing the size of the arena.

Description: This is a Ninjutsu which utilizes the Wind Element. After bringing their hands to their mouth, the user will blow a large blast of wind capable of leveling almost anything in its way.
Limit: Wind Release

[Raikou!]

The shuriken hits its mark, and leaves a deep cut in his opponents arm. Raikou grinned at the first sight of his opponent, hopefully he could see some more. His clones charge in, however they would find nothing but a few drops of blood. It seemed the shuriken had scared his opponent up into the sky. Raikou watched as his opponent flew up on some sort of sand platform. This would prove difficult, since a flying opponent can be difficult to hit. He would have to knock him out of the sky.

Suddenly, Raikou watches as his opponent takes a deep breath, and blows out a powerful blast of wind to the arena below. Raikou's five water clones never had a chance. A vortex of swirling wind sends the clones flying to the ground with an ugly amount of force. All five splash back into the water they once were. Raikou himself saw the attack coming. Lowering to the ground he motions to his other clones to follow his lead. The wind blows over head strong, but does not do much other then cause them to slide slightly back, due to their low wind resistance and distance from their opponent.

Raikou frowns over the loss of his clones, however the water will stay there for later use. Still low to the ground, Raikou already has begun his counter attack. Reaching in his pack, he pulls out another two kunai wrapped in exploding tags. Grabbing each in one hand, Raikou quickly mixes them with a special blend of wind chakra that gives them a sort of boomerang effect. Instantly he sends both out from each hand. He throws them wide of each other. One very right and one very left. The kunai would wrap around, traveling so they would come at Raikou's opponent from above. There was little chance that his opponent would see the kunai coming at him, and he definitely would not expect them to come from above. Once the exploding kunai came close enough in proximity, Raikou would set them off, even possible killing his opponent. But at least knocking him out of the sky.

Raikou once again, would not sit idle and watch to see if his attack lands. As soon as the kunai leave his hands, Raikou would make a single hand seal and begin to charge his feet with wind chakra. This would make him much faster, which was necessary for the next series of move he has planned. Immediately after, Raikou would place his hands together and release the exploding kunai next to his opponent.

[N I R A S H I]

Nirashi stood ontop his platform at peace, yet very much alert. He knew it wouldn't be long till Raikou located him with his usefull, Bloodlimit the Byakugan, however, if he guessed right Raikou's next move would allow him to locate the shinobi. Damn! That Byakugan is such a pain in the ass. He can see everything, in front, and around him no matter what. I definitely will have to get him and quickly, now is the time to take a shot at this battle. It's time for Nirashi Cora to go on offense! Nirashi was fired up and ready, making a handsign.

Before he knew it, he noticed two shadows, each rotating rapindly and coming in fast, from left and right. He wondered what each was, but before further thought enter they both landed in the platform, and...exploded. Nirashi was shocked and blown up to pieces...so it seemed. Falling down from the explosion was a clump of sand which fell to the ground, apparently, the young shinobi figured someway to avoid the powerful explosion. Now, he was ready to attack Raikou.

He landed on ground, right below where the platform had been positioned high above. The sand grains not destroyed by the explosion made its way surely back towards Nirashi and to the gourd, however, some laid slattered on the ground, far out of Nirashi's ten meter reach. He was well aware of Raikou knowing his location, however he now knew where the shinobi was based on where the shadows came. Even though his estimates weren't probably exact, he had a close enough approximate.

It is finally time to show this bastard how messing with ninja from Sunagakure will bring it to you! Nirashi reached into his pocket and pulled out a flash bomb and held it tightly in his hands. He closed his eyes and inhaled the air. "Raikou, time for play is over! Get ready, for now I shall bring this battle to you since you want to hide like a coward in this coat of mist." Nirashi released the flash bomb, light almost bright as the sun dispearsing. With this he hoped to distort the Hyuuga's vision and hopefully buy enough time to throw Raikou off so he couldn't evade his jutsu.

Nirashi narrowed his hand and pumped chakra quickly to his hands, causing wind to rapidly build up around his hands. Nirashi then, in a slashing motion, swiped his hand down sending a blade of wind dashing down the middle, where he approximated Raikou to be. He then sent out 4 more blades, two to the left and the other two to the right, all in the direction where he thought Raikou to be located. Hopefully, he was right...only time would tell.

Kawarimi no Jutsu (Body Switch Skill)
Rank: E-rank, Supplementary
A technique that usually confuses the attacker. The user quickly projects themselves with another nearby object such as a plant (normally a section of a large log), an animal, or even another person within reach, leaving the opponent open to a counter-attack. In the anime, a scarecrow, a boulder, and even mud has been used as a body substitute, though this may not be considered canonical by few fans. A fairly common Jutsu, it is one of the basic Jutsu that a Ninja must learn before graduating to the Genin level. This technique, however, is not strictly limited to the Naruto series, as it is sometimes referred to as Utsusemi no Jutsu (Art of Body Projection) in other manga and animation series. A User can NOT switch with an enemy or a person due to the fact that everything is attempted base. You must attempt to grab the person first to switch him with you, before the technique can occur.

(As if they were run for quite some distance)
Limit Can only be learned by Jenzo -

[Raikou!]

Raikou watches with his ever keen eyes as the exploding kunai hit their mark. However, it seemed his opponent had managed to escape death, and even come out unharmed. Raikou caught him last second using the body switch jutsu, it was simple but effective. He watches as his opponent lands on the ground right below the explosion. Well regardless, his goal was met, the boy was out of the sky. Now it was time to show him his true power. Immediately he activates his Hakkeshou Nankan, increasing his reaction time even more. Raikou smiles as he prepares to show himself.

Raikou points in the direction of his opponent to his mist clones, sending them to attack. As he does he suddenly hears his opponent screaming in his direction. Apparently he figured out Raikou's direction.

"Raikou, time for play is over! Get ready, for now I shall bring this battle to you since you want to hide like a coward in this coat of mist."

By the time his opponent finished the first phrase of his speech, Raikou was standing less then two meters behind him. A shuushin (1/5) would practically teleport him to his desired position. The boys screaming would mask any slight sound from the flicker. Also the little speech would lead Raikou's mist clones right to their opponent. Watching his opponent from behind, he easily notices him reaching for a light bomb. Raikou could see through anything, so seeing such an act from so close would be no problem. He would just simple close his eyes just as his opponent would do, to shield himself from his own attack. Then sand ninja prepared some sort of attack but Raikou payed no mind. It was time to end this poor excuse for a battle.

As the boy attacked in the area of Raikou's mist clones, Raikou was preparing an attack of his own. He imagines a Divination Field with the himself at the center on a YinYang symbol and two more circles around him where there are other symbols at regular intervals on the lines. This was one of the Hyuuga's deadliest attacks. After settling into a wide-footed balanced stance the Raikou attacks 64 of the 361 tenketsu on his opponent's body with a series of graceful carefully aimed finger strikes. First he seals 2, then 4 more, then 8 more and so on until 64 of the chakra openings have been blocked with a tiny burst of chakra. The blast would come with immense speed allowing no motion from his opponent. This would completely shut down his opponents chakra system and cause immense pain, totally incapacitating his opponents body.

He would not even know what hit him. Especially with his opponent attacking blindly into the mist. The wind blades would cut through his four mist clones, but cause no damage. They would continue to plummet towards him, causing even more of a distraction. Odds are this battle was over.

But... To be safe, immediately after finishing the intense combo, Raikou pulls out another single kunai with a exploding tag wrapped around it. Jumping back he would throw it at his opponent, ready to release it instantly. Hopefully, a proctor would jump in and stop the match. This was Raikou would not have to risk killing the boy. However, if one did not, there was a good chance he would die...

Hakkeshou Nankan (Hand of the Eight Divinations: Barrier)
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: When an opponent is within the closest ranges of the Hakke, the user of this technique begins to excrete a small amount of chakra from the tenketsus at a steady rate. By doing this the user is able to heighten their reflexes. This technique increases both the defensive and offensive capabilities of Jyuuken attacks by speeding up the users natural reaction time significantly.
Special: ---
Drawback: This technique may only be used up to five times a day. In order to do more the user must learn this technique significantly amount of times in order for the user the capability of using the technique. If the user is at a higher rank then C It will still always be twenty training points in order to learn.
Description: It is a barrier that alerts the user of motion way before the motion reaches the user, a heightened sense of movement. Unlike the Hakkeshou Kaiten, this technique requires much less chakra and doesn't provide an offensive strike, but more of a preemptive strike. It is said that this technique was created to answer the Sharingan's ability to copy and counter taijutsu techniques. When first learned the user is only capable of using this technique of five times per day. Each time learned the user is capable of using this technique once more.
Limit: Must have knowledge of the Advanced formation of the stance.

Hakke Rokujuuyonshou (Divination Field, 64 Strikes)
Rank: "B"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: ---
Special: ---
Drawback: Normally this technique takes an amount of Two posts in order for the user to be capable of doing. If the user uses Hakkeshou Nankan for an amount of one time the user is capable of performing this technique within one post.
Description: This is a devastating TaiJutsu move that incorporates Jyuuken and the Byakugan. The user imagines a Divination Field with the user at the centre on a YinYang symbol and two more circles around him where there are other symbols at regular intervals on the lines. If an opponent is within the YinYang symbol or on one of the outer symbols then one of Hyuuga's deadliest attacks can be performed. After settling into a wide-footed balanced stance the user attacks 64 of the 361 tenketsu on an opponent's body with a series of graceful carefully aimed finger strikes. First he seals 2, then 4 more, then 8 more and so on until 64 of the chakra openings have been blocked with a tiny burst of chakra. Once this is done the opponent's chakra center shuts down and all major (note: major. The user cannot mold chakra, but does not die) chakra activity stops, causing immense pain and totally incapacitating the victim's body. This critical move, once used, will more than likely end any fight, and is one of the most powerful moves in the Hyuuga arsenal. The only way the opponent will be capable of molding chakra once again is by gaining Medical Treatment.
Limit: Must have knowledge of the Chakra Holes up to Sixty Four Chakra Holes, must have knowledge of the Hyuuga Basic Stance, Must have knowledge of the Hakkeshou Nankan.

Nirashi waited for a response, wondering if his wind blades had connected with his target. He opened his mouth and began to take in a breathe, reaching down quickly in his pocket, however, before he could do anything else, he felt a sharp jab, a sharp pain coming from behind. Then he knew...Raikou...

Had found him...

From that moment, he felt continous jabs, left and right, coming at a quick speed, precise and painful. Apparently, the Hyuuga had located the young shinobi and already got ahold of him in Taijutsu. Nirashi didn't know what to do, he barely knew what was going on as he continued to get thrawted. Using his chakra he began to try and lift his sand in hopes of hitting the Hyuuga in the eyes to stop the onslaught, but as the thrashing continued he felt his chakra slowly chipping away and his control gone. The thrawting was soon over and Nirashi fell to the ground blood dripping from his mouth.

As he hit the ground he could see the cold eyes of the determined Hyuuga. A grim look came across his face as he saw Raikou reach inside his pocket for something. Once Nirashi noticed Raikou jumping back, his intinct definitely kicked in. He knew the young Cloud Shinobi was going for the kill. Nirashi wasn't going to allow such a thing to happen, he wasn't ready to die. He couldn't die. He wouldn't die! The young shinobi pushed and using the little energy he had left or could tap into slapped the incoming kunai away with his sand.

Nirashi definitely had came far, but it now seemed his dream was over. His chakra was closed or blocked, and he barely had energy left to move. Was his dreams of becoming Chuunin ended? Were they over? Maybe it was so, but his will hadn't died, at least not yet. Nirashi scooted back and positioned his body upright, however still on the ground. His vision was only a fraction of what it previously was, heck he was only a fraction of what he previously was. But, the young shinobi shook and tremebled, apparently attempting to gather some sort of energy. Luckily, he did too. T he young shinobi rose, rose to his feet, upright. Nirashi stood tall and had the look of an unwilled and undetoured person, despite the blood dripping from his mouth.

Apprently...the match...was over. Nirashi had tried his best, but in the end was bested by the Hyuuga. All was well still because at least he had the hopes of conveying the will of Sunagakure.

OOC:

I can't let this one go. There is no way that you were able to listen if your attacks hit, draw blood and summon your snake, and then have a little convo with it before my attack would land. I was two meters behind you in the middle of your last little speech. I attacked you the moment you finished your wind cutter jutsu. I'm sorry man but there is just no way.

[N I R A S H I]

*nod*

I thought there would be conflict with this one.

So, you're telling me you used Shunshin after I used Wind Cut, then appeared behind me to use 64 Strikes. You then threw a kunai with an exploding tag attached. Hmm...to PMs!!

[Raikou!]

*nods to pms*

[Chuunin Examiner 4]

"Timeout!"

Charging in with his hands in the air, the examiner responsible for overseeing the fight would step in, prompting the fighting genin to take a break. There had been a rule infracture and he'd come to warn them. Hopefully this would be the last time he'd have to do this. As they neared him, a small scroll held tightly in his right hand came loose, unveiling the official wording for the rule. Taking a second to adjust to the small text, the examiner looked down.

"Well..."

Ok guys, I read this over, and there is definite need for an intervention. I'll first address each fighter's negative points for this battle, and ultimately determine whose to blame.

Raikou: You're doing pretty well, actually. Being a good sport about all those ignored attacks is a commendable trait, especially on these forums. My only real complaint is that the Hidden Mist Skill actually hinders the Byakugan from working properly. Watch episodes 152-156 and you'll see why. So your accuracy with attacks used after deciphering an opponent's location in the mist really aren't that good, considering you'd have a hell of a time spotting him. Also, seeing edits by your posts without explanation isn't good. I'm not accusing, but instead letting you know to provide a reason as to why you edited so people don't think you're cheating.

Nirashi: Hmm...I was a little disappointed to see you ignore so many attacks and choose your course of reaction before his own time line, creating some sort of alternate world that ignored what had just been laid out to you by your opponent. Here are some examples:

[1] The light bomb in the first turn was ignored. That blinding effect is intense, and will leave you disorientated for a good while. You ignored that effect completely, without even providing an explanation for a good evasion.
[2] The way you used that chunk of earth to block his kunai from his first attack. What the heck was that!? Even if his Byakugan isn't as accurate as he made it to be due to the Mist, there was NO WAY you could pull that off effectively under those conditions. The Third Eye suffers the same visual impairment from the mist you do, so reacting to incoming kunai that quickly just doesn't work...
[3] The time elapsed between getting hit with the star/kunai in your arm and going up on the Sand Island was way too long; those clone would've caught you by then.
[4] You got perfectly set up when he attacked you during your speech, and used your own mistake against you. There is NO WAY you had time to talk, summon and talk again, and evade him when he was so close to you. No way. This was the biggest one and the most upsetting one to see.

As it stands, the last round of attacks where he comes are all successful, as you've just been hit with his palm attacks. RP a response according to you getting hit by his last attacks. Don't take this the wrong way, I like your writing and think you've got potential, but for this battle, it was disappointing to see so many ignored attacks and unrealistic dodges. You have another chance, use it wisely.

[Raikou!]

OCC:
Thank you chunnin examiner...

Usually I just go back and fix grammar or jutsu I forgot to post, but I will try to limit that from now on and explain why I modified.

Also, I had no idea the Byakugan becomes hindered in the hidden mist... I will definitely research that out and watch those episodes.

*EDIT*
I would have to disagree that the Byakugan can not see through hidden mist. It can in fact. The reason Neji had a hard time was solely due to the boy on Raiga's back. Neji even states that he should be able to see through the mist, and it was strange he could not. Also, he does eventually use his Byakugan to see through the mist, showing him the entire landscape and the position of the enemy. However, once again to the boy on Raiga's back, Neji saw the wrong thins and interpreted trees as real people. This weakness in the Byakugan is stated in the jutsu itself. It has absolutely nothing to do with the hidden mist.

Just for reference purposes, check the very beginning of episode 154. It is all made clear in the first couple of minutes.

[||Yuuku||]

Except that on NFRP (which is not Cannon) It says the mist skill disrupts Doujutsu.

Thats all on my part.

[Raikou!]

Where does it say that?

Well it dont matter now... can we finish this fight already?

[N I R A S H I]

Okay, I can ready my reply, but I need to know a few things first. Is my chakra completely locked, so I can't use Jutsu? Once I retrieve this answer I will be ready to edit.

[Raikou!]

Once this is done the opponent's chakra center shuts down and all major (note: major. The user cannot mold chakra, but does not die) chakra activity stops, causing immense pain and totally incapacitating the victim's body. This critical move, once used, will more than likely end any fight, and is one of the most powerful moves in the Hyuuga arsenal.

[N I R A S H I]

Edited! Good match Raikou. I think with this I have lost.

*bows*

I apologize for all the trouble I've put you through in this match. xD At least it was all sorted out. My post has been edited.
