The Bored Magistrate Round 2

[Kusa's Vine]

Rank: B C
IIC Length: 2 days.
Difficulty: Easy
Description: A magistrate of the Grass Country feels nothing new is happening in the Country. As a result, he is calling on 4 talented grass shinobi to showcase their talents in a battle royal in the courtyard of his palace.
Objective: Put on a spectacular show for the man. DO NOT KILL EACH OTHER but incapacitate the others. Remember it is a show more so than a battle
Reward: 3000 to all that participate, the Magistrate will award an extra 2000 to the winner.

In the land of grass there resided a very bored magistrate. In years previous he has called to the Kusakage to enlist several Shinobi of the hidden village to occupy his home for a short time to put on a show for an audience at his home. Well it was about that time again, this little battle royal becoming an annual event the request was sent once again. The magistrate on a personal note, took time to individually invite each of the contestants that had competed last year. Of course if they couldn't come through there would always be others that would be able to step up and take their places.

Issac arrived at the magistrates compound through both memory and a point in the right direction from a passerby on one of the roads. It seems the magistrate expanded his estate a little over the past year. Things must have been good. Issac arrived cloak up and pulled tight scythe swaying on his back menacingly as the man at the front gate asked him his business. Issac produced the small invitation the magistrate had sent him. "My Lord didn't expect anyone to be here so soon please go in and relax in the court yard while we wait for the rest of the guests and entertainment to arrive." First one in again, let's hope this goes better for me then last time

When Issac went down the familiar hallway leading to the courtyard he was greeted with a not so familiar area. It seemed that the courtyard had been worked on a bit over the last year. Issac liked the improvements and would have to remember to complement the Magistrate when the fight was over. A lot of space had been cleared the arena as it could be called now was about seventy-five by an overly needed one hundred meters with a sandstone wall surrounding the area. Centered was a rectangular forty by twenty meter pool of water. The rest mostly made up of a spongy thick grass pallet with trees lining the entire area every five meters or so. Just to the left of the entry hall was a very small table with a sun umbrella and refreshments. To be honest the table was barley big enough for two people to sit around so Issac grabbed a drink and positioned himself against a wall in shadow as he waited for the other shinobi.

[Masato]

Treading that same old path again...

It had been an entire year before this Magistrate had once more became bored. His life must have been terribly empty for it to be so boring as to call Shinobi to fight as much. Then again, the Magistrate must have too had patience to last this long without calling it in several times. Thoughts of such left to waste, Masato and Seiji would calmly enter the familiar halls. Barely sparing a glance towards the guards and nobles, they entered the courtyard, resuming their position on the opposite side from Zassou.

They would merely nod at him as they entered, the twins sitting upon the ground when they had found their location. Adjusting is hobo coat, Masato would lean against the wall, as Seiji fidgeted in his robes and did the same. Identical in appearance, save from clothes, the brothers were actually quite different, in terms of ability. The inescts they contained would be the main focus of their attacks, and they would overwhelm their opponents with what could be considered weak.

Let the game go begin.

[Kyôka.]

I would once again find myself traveling down a familiar path, a path that I had traveled about a year ago in the pursuit of satisfying a "Bored Magistrite" with a few of my fellow Kusagakure shinobi. A competition of sorts - where all four of us waged battle amongst one another. Of course, victory was on all our minds, but we had to control ourselves for the sake of keeping our comrades alive and despite the violent nature of the task, it was stressed that this competition was more so entertainment than an actual battle. Three thousand Ryo would be given to all participants - which was worth the time - and an extra two thousand would be awarded to the winner. The two thousand was of little importance to me, I was fine with the three gained from participating, but that didn't mean I would simply let them walk all over me - oh heavens no.

The troop to the Magistrite's palace would be a quick one, the destination firmly implanted into my mind from my last visit. I was surprised to see that the bored lord had changed the our battle arena from my last visit. Instead of the three or so bridges that were there last time, the area seemed to adopt a more battle-like appearence. In the center rested a lake; perhaps I would focus my fighting around the water, using the lake as my base - or perhaps iI would simply run around trying my luck; there were multiple ways in which I could apprach this task, and at the time I simply could not choose. I recognized the two fighters almost immediatly when I entered the area - they were two of the ones from before. One of them stuck out more than the most, simply because I remembeered him having two heads and quite frankly, it had interested me.

None the less. I would enter th area and take up position on a wall (opposite from the two) and wait -

- simply wait.

[tomoshibi]

The flytrap about his form had grown larger after another year of life. The place seemed so familiar even after a year, the same fear among the servants, the same halls, the same stammering directions. "Does nothing ever change in these halls of hewn stone?" The Kouba had spoken to himself, Xero by name, expecting nothign in return. yet something had answered, somethign in the deepest recesses of his mind stirred in response to his muttering. The black and white fleshed man, or was he a plant, walked into the courtyard as he had so long ago, and lo and behold the same shinobi from before were there.

His harsh raspy voice eminated from the plant man's throat, "It seems we've all come together again..." Taking a better look around it seemed that this place had changed the most of all others. "I do not wish to waste time so lets get this over with, there is much I have to do." He stood there upon the earthen land, waiting for things to begin as they had a year ago with him away from all the others. Yet handseals would be forming hidden by the Venus Flytrap that surrounded him.

[Masato]

OOC: IIC has passed. My turn.

IC:

Cracking their necks simultaneously, the twins would turn to each other for but a brief moment. A deep breath would be taken, and they would nod at each other. Almost immediately following this, Masato's hands set off into a furious rage, completing handseals ratehr swiftly as he was suddenly engulfed by something. From his coat, a massive burst of roaches flew forth, covering his form and creating one entirely new. Swiftly would he rise to a height of sixteen feet, with a body to match such proportions. This giant would then step forward, his hands already coming down upon the Zassou to greatly damage him, as well as engulf him in insects.

While this was done, Seiji had then begun to call forth bees. A swarm of great size, approximately two and a half times his own size, would come forth. Swirling around him rapidly, the yellow streaks would hopefully confuse opponents as he, too, charged forward. However, this one was moving toward the one with a venus flytrap, Xero. He knew not of what lay within it, but he was not afraid to find out.

Without so much of a whistle, or even an announcement, the battle would begin. The first motion would be by the twin boy’s, the most intriguing ones. Fortunately for me, thanks to our last visit I had managed to gather a bit of information on their blood trait; they were of the Futakongo clan, a clan basically made up of Siamese twins. Despite this knowledge, the sudden swarm of bugs from one of the twin’s body surprised me greatly, and even more when the roaches creeped about his body and made him something of a behemoth. The other twin had bugs of his own as well, although they seemed to be bees, and with them swirling his figure, he would make his way toward the contestant with the venus flytrap. Now, here is where I stood - there was no direct threat for me at the time, and I had two choices: one, I could up my defense, and two - I could take offense.

My hands came together swiftly, performing six simple hand seals in their midst - Snake - Monkey - Ram - and three others. From my left forearm would a plethora of wood be created, three tendrils circling around one another until my creation was complete. In my hand, I held a simple branch and I know what your thinking ; what would a measly branch do. Well, a master with a branch, could kill a novice with a blade - if only that were the case. With a mere flick of my wrist, I would send the branch flying a couple of feet away from me, where it would softly plump onto the earthen plain. Throughout my movements, I thoroughly watched both opponents, thinking of which I would attack first.

I stood my ground for the time being, analyzing the situation -

- soon, I would act.

[tomoshibi]

It was as he predicted, someone had gone in for a close combat strike. Xero had held off the final seal among the string he formed earlier, and finished it when the twin was a mere meter away. Blunted spikes of wood shot out from the ground surrounding him, 15 meters in every direction, yet the twin would get it worst. With his forward momentum the chance of the twin escaping the attack were zero. Should the blunted spikes hit the Futakongo twin as planned the twin would be struck in the stomach, ribs and face with high force. The twin would survive but with not a shunshin chance or escaping he would be out of the running.

Yet what was this? A simple branch in the hands of the other that was before him. The one that wasn't on the brunt of his attack or covered in roaches, a simple male holding a branch. Quickly the Kouba's flytrap snapped shut and he sank beneath the surface and traveled among the grassy plains. Scaling a tree out of the view of the others from within he re-emerged upon a branch, hidden from view by its foliage. It was there he would watch and wait silently.

[Masato]

And out went the Kamizuru, for as he ran forward, the spikes came and smashed him in the areas stated. He was badly bruised upon his face, and a few of his ribs may have cracked along with his jaw. As he fell to the ground, his bees would return to him as the light began to fade and he fell into a long sleep. He wouldn't wakt up until the end of the fight, or possibly during it should it last long enough.

However, Masato was not about to lose to what appeared to be the only opponent. For, the strange man would suddenly sink into the earth, moving away to places only he himself would know of. So, instead, turning to face the man with wood upon his arms, he would begin running towards him. As his monstrous hands came together, he would attempt to clasp the "enemy" between his hands. In which case, roaches would swarm him and proceed to bite him with incredible strength.

However, the detail that Nagasake would almost definitely miss was that the creation of insects had left behind a part of itself. A mass of roaches, female specifically, had grouped into about half of Masato's original mass and fallen off into some bushes. It was there that they began to lay eggs by the dozens upon the leaves. When they ran out of room, they would move to other bushes, placing their eggs along each leaf. Soon, they would be unleashed, forming more insects to overwhelm the opponent.

At this point the roaches are capable of being swatted away. When the user has the roaches take into the understanding of the "B" rank version of the Carnivorous Bite the roaches bite is strong enough to bite into the skin with such intensity to where a piece of the person who is being bitten must be removed or completely destroying the roach in question.
Limit: Must be part of the Blattaria Clan. Must know Blattaria Control, Must know Skeletal Control

OOC: Said you wouldn't notice it since I am running at you, sixteen feet tall, and this swarm which is relatively small compared to myself falls off behind me and into some bushes.

[Kyôka.]

"One down; two to go", I stated at the sight of the incapacitated bee manipulator and the plant boy sink into the ground - I would have to keep my out out for him.

I simply watched as the bug behemoth turned his attention to me, his massive bug encrusted form smashing the grass beneath him. I couldn't say that he was actually moving quickly, but he traversed the distance between us rather quickly. It didn't matter, for I had already come up with a plan on how I was to avoid such a montrosity. Now, a whopping size of sixteen feet tall, give or take a few inches, was well over three times the size of my own body, meaning there were many things that could be taken into account; one such being his massive size, and the fact that it would take him significantly longer than I to turn around. Now you see, there were flaws of mine in this plan, and it could most certainly back fire, but as I said, the entrance fee was more than enough for me and besides, this was more so a show than a battle, if I recalled right.

More or less, I would meet the behemoth's charge head on, shortening the time in which the distance between us decreased. My feet carried me the distance effortlessly, while my dominant hand would seemingly be occupied by ivory and crimson. Moments before the behemoth's monstrous arms would descend over me, I would release the two thin creations onto the ground below me, and immediatly after they left my hands would I seemingly dissapear. To the Magistrite, it would have most likely seemed that I had just teleported in order to save myself from the monstrous attack, and he wouldn't be too wrong. Clasped between his hands, Masato wuld feel a figure, but that figure would not be me, but instead my small little branch. I knew not the damage that the blow could have done, but I figured it better not to find out.

Immediatly after my departure, both my hands would come together to form a simple seal - the Ram - and shortlty after would the two slabs of paper exlode forth in a grand fashion, which would hopefully scorch some of the roaches and take out a bug limb or two. In constantly scanned the area, keeping my eye open for the human flytrap.

[tomoshibi]

Was this fight really over that easily? Xero had barely done a thing and things seemed to be over already. With the behemoth's larger legs it was able to cover distance more rapidly then the other shinobi. The Kouba would remain in the tree, but seeing as the figure using what Xero recognized as Mokuton Kawarimi appeared a meter or two away from the tags he would probably be caught within his own explosion. With any luck both of the shinobi would be incapacitated by the blast leaving the Kouba as the victor, yet he would remain hidden within the tree in case that was not so. Along with carefully watching several vine seed would be quietly extracted from his seed pouch. He would continue to watch, hoping he had been right in that both would be incapacitated by the blast.

[Masato]

"Kawarimi!"

I was already too late. Within his arms lay the branch, the tags attached to it having begun their detonation. Instead of trying to be rid of the creation, he would instead clasp his hands around it harder. The explosion would be contained enough not to destroy him completely, but it would certainly play a part in his destruction. Masato, eyes shutting and head turning as he knew it was coming, stumbled backwards.

His arms at this point were destroyed. Of course, not his actual physical body, but the roach creation had been destroyed up to the elbow. Their scattered corpses were thrust over the area, whilst others were destroyed upon explosion. As roaches came forth to repair the behemoth, he would turn back to the Mokuton user, the monster attempting to form a smile as he glared at the opponent.

It was at this time that the massive hands would come together, the hand seals forming rather quickly as a new insect would reveal itself to the Kouba within the tree. Noticeable upon his back would be the smaller bodies of a black insect. Apparently beetles, they would spread forth from his spine and also amass within the garden. Following this, the roaches would recede into the coat he bore, returning the ninja to normal size.

With his Kikai serving as both a lookout and a defensive maneuver, the Futakongo would merely stand where he had regained his balanced, approximately eight meters from either opponent. Just waiting as he observed Nagasake, his hopes were that the third fighter would enter the fray, truly turning this into quite the show. He himself did not have many flashy techniques, but he could make due for now.

OOC: Kawarimi Prep.

[Kyôka.]

Fortunately, I was far enough away from the blast not to suffer major damage, and Masato's behemoth form had taken most of explosion. I had a few burn marks here or there, and a cut or two along my shoulder, but that was not near enough to get me out of the fight. I watched as the roaches receded back into the dusty coat that Masato wore, and his form returned to normal. It would seem that his brother was still incapacitated, and the other fighter merely wished to hide throughout the whole bout. I knew this wasn't the case, and I constantly watched out for him. He had disappeared via sinking into the ground; there was nothing stopping him from reappearing the way he left. For now though, I would give Masato the opening act.

His eyes were glued upon me, and it gave me a rather interesting idea - this was supposed to entertain the Magistrate after all. Unleashing the chakra within my tenketsus, a small amount would be focused into my eyes, bringing forth my matured Sharingan. Crimson filled my visage as new things became clear to me, but that was besides the matter. Slowly, the three black tomoe within my eyes would begin to spin, my eyes glaring directly at Masato's. I didn't know if he was staring into my eyes or not, but since he was "observing" me so closely, his eyes could've wandered into mine, and once that happened - he would be mine. the gaze of the Sharingan was powerful, and not many could resist it. I could've done many harsh things if he were caught within the gaze, but no ¡ª

¡ª I would simply make him dance.

His feet would be the first to move, and then his arms would follow. As if dancing to a reggae-ton beat, his head would begin to throb up and down while spinning. If I could, I would've made him her the beat in his head; but in the instance that he was not caught within my gaze, I would simply stand there, Sharingan activated.

[tomoshibi]

No such luck for the Kouba. The explosion rent the air asunder and debris flew about with not a care. Splinters from the large branch and earth flew everywhere and, unfortunately, both remained battle ready. Things could never be simple, yet things were to his benefit, yet the eyes of his opponent changed. The man's eyes had taken on the same crimson as Xero's yes three tomoe appeared within, a Doujutsu he had never become familiar with, yet regardless he would do his best to avoid its gaze. Handseals formed rapidly and soundlessly within his Venus Flytrap and the splinters that had flown past the Doujutsu User were utalized.

They would quietly rise from the ground and then fly toward the Uchiha from behind, if struck there would be no fatal shots, yet his hamstring would be severed if he could not move in time. Not only the hamstring would be cut, but many other parts of his body as well. A smile would spread upon his lips for he would still remain hidden and yet have gotten in an attack of his own, one outside the sharingan's sight and prediction, though he did not know it.

[Masato]

Captured in the Crimson Gaze.

Eyes would widen as they met with the sanguine optics before him. Suddenly, all self control was lost. His willpower and strength gone. He was a sitting duck, and he stood, mindlessly, eyeing the opponent. However, within moments, his foot would kick out. Then, following that, his other. A strange movement indeed, as it was involuntary. His hips would begin to shake, as would his arms as the movements spread through his whole body. Within his mind ran only one thought, besides that which were inspired by the enemies Sharingan.

"You bastard."

[Kyôka.]

"Dance, Dance !"

I could only watch as the bug user was captured within my crimson gaze, his body mimicking the exact same movements that I suggested. Over the year, my Sharingan had grown the much more powerful, as well as my control over its powers. There was still much I needed to learn dealing with these all-powerful eyes, but that would come with time. The three tomoe continued to spin as my target was captured, his own conscience locked away within a metal - barred cage, surrounded and laced by crimson. It was enjoying watching Masato dance, and I could probably sit there all day watching, and any other time I would've, but there was someone else I needed worry about.

Unfortunately, for that slight couple of seconds, I had forgotten all about the other competitor (the one encased in the fly trap), and unknown to my knowledge, he had performed a technique of the Mokuton origin to attack me. The splinters pierced my flesh with surprise, and caused me to shut my eyes for a brief moment, releasing Masato from my crimson prison. It was unexpected, yes, but I would simply sit there. Chakra would be focused into my legs as a piece of wood entered the back of my knee, and with that I would disappear [1|3] from the scene, appearing ten meters away from my previous position. The splinters had cut me in several places, but not all of them had hit me and the ones that missed, were now on target for the bug user.

For the entire battle, I had been fighting as if it were a simple one on one, but no, it was a three way free for all. Xero had been hiding the hole battle, but now I would flush him out. While Masato was most likely dodging the left over splinters, my hands would already be in the act of performing hand seals. Chakra emitted from the tenketsu within my body, and as quickly as I summoned it would my lungs become laced with oxygen and chakra. With an out burst, I would exhale a rather long stream of flame toward a patch of grass where the trees were lined. Almost immediately would the vegetation catch fire and it would spread steadily, following the breeze that swept it along. In time, it would sweep the entire arena, ridding the whole place empty of vegetation, and surrounding the three of us in a ring of fire.

— Surely, the Magistrate wouldn't mind.

The oxygen being expelled from the lungs combusts upon reaching the chakra from the hand, and the user blows it out a maximum of ten feet away. This is different from the Goukakyou no Jutsu in the fact that this comes out as a stream and not a fireball, and also different from the fact that once the user stops breathing out or moves their hand, the technique ends.

[tomoshibi]

The twin had begun... dancing!? Juding by the situation and timing of the action it had happened when the insect user had looked into the crimson eyes of the other. That crimson Doujtsu seemed to have taken control over the other, but the Kouba's attack had ended it. Yet the Doujtsu user made a foolish mistake and, though unknowingly, shunshined toward Xero. With the injuries he had taken to his legs at least one of the would be completely useless. With his view over all the Kouba would see the movement as the uchiha moved into the 9 meter range of the Kouba. Quickly handseals would be formed at a much faster pace then the Uchiha and four pillars of wood would shoot up from the ground and bind the Uchiha in place.

It was unlikely the man would be able to dodge with at least one useless leg, and if successful it would most likely cut off the Uchiha's jutsu. Unsheathing his knife as he dropped from the tree, only if successful, he would then shunshin [1/3] behind the Doujutsu bearer. Only when behind the opponent would his knife move from within his flytrap and move to the Uchiha's throat. Xero would be in control then and simply say, "Do what you did before only this time make him surrender and not dance. And if I were in your position I would avoid turning your head to face me." The words would slip out and the kouba's other hand would be retrieving a soldier pill as his eyes never stopped searching around for the other opponent, there were two he was against after all.

[Masato]

And now, both opponents revealed, and the Aburame released from that cursed gaze, he would swiftly turn to view both opponents. He saw there the Uchiha, spewing forth flames from his mouth towards the brush. However, rising from the earth was the Kouba, his flytrap the first noticeable part of his body. As chakra leaked from the Futakongo, the eggs in the nearby brush would hatch, creating a new group of roaches. Perhaps he would focus on numbers.

All at once, the roaches would come forth from the bushes, littering the ground with their bodies. Following this, the vast majority of roaches from Masato's coat would also come to the battlefield, leaving only a small group behind within his coat to cover his body and to recreate the swarm should all the insects die. Last but not least, the air would be filled with fluttering wings as Kikaichu exploded from his body. Again, only a small group was left within his body as to not completely ruin his swarm.

With the Kikaichu invading the air around the opponents, and the roaches taking the ground for their own, escape via normal means was not quite likely. In an arc, the insects curved around the two bystanders as to close them off. Escape would likely have to be underground or going through the insects themselves, which could cause major damage. For, if the opponents were to go through the roaches, they would be bitten with extreme force in any non-lethal spot they could obtain. One was surely enough to cause a mildly paralyzing pain, which would allow for more roaches to come and prepare to attack as well.

Not only that, but should they be frozen in place by the roaches, or if they were to simply go through the air, they would encounter the Kikaichu. These would simply swarm each opponent, leeching their chakra at incredible speeds depending on the amount of insects upon their bodies. A technique to rid the enemies of every insect was not likely, as the arc they curved in was great, allowing them to cover much ground and to spread as to maximize efficiency. As the Kouba hopefully caught the Uchiha, the bugs would be just a few meters (5-7) away from them.

"Damn; look what you've done."

My voice would ring forth toward the one that captured me, yet there would be no movement; what could I have possibly done. The swarm of bugs would encircle us and most likely they were ready to bite. If something wasn't done, we would surely be bug food; oh how it "bugged me - Bug - bugged - lol.

The sheer multitude of roaches hatching within the bush alerted the Kouba to their presence. Biting down on the soldier pill he had placed within his mouth the plant man would feel a new rush of power and he quickly closed his flytrap and retreated into the ground. Yet he did not retreat far, for he re-emerged behind the tree he had been in before. He did not need to remain secretive for long, for the Kouba began forming handseals to end the fight. He had had enough of this fight, and the final seal would be held, chakra focusing below him. The chakra focus spread around the ground and all at once, covering the the entire field, plants and walls would crimson vines sprout.

The sheer overwhelming multitude of vines would likely capture all three opponents, the unconcious twin included, with little chance of escape. Once the thorns had embedded in their bodies things would be pretty much over, for the thorns would drain their bodies of blood, yet be stopped at the point of unconsciousness before death. That point would likely be reached in three or four seconds judging from the sheer multitude of vines and thorns on the vines. Yet the Kouba would be spared by the holding of the final seal. With luck this would end things, for he did not have much left in him.
