Test 3 - Itsu vs. <Guan-Yin>

[Chuunin Examiner]

Test 3 – The Heart

The preliminaries were now complete. It seemed to have taken very little time for most, and many strong contestants had moved on. The examiners gathered the ninja after a nights rest so they could be at full strength. They stood outside one of the many arenas that were created for these battles. When all of them would gather, the examiner would speak to them as a whole.

”Congratulations to all of you. You have all made it to the Final Round of the Chuunin Exams. As such, each and every one of you has a shot at Chuunin. You do not need to win any of your matches to receive the title of Chuunin. It is at the sole discretion of your respective Kages that you receive a higher rank in your village or not.

As for the contents of the third task… It is, as with all Chuunin Exams, fights amongst each other. Behind me is one of the arenas that two of you will be fighting at. Only one person may emerge victorious in each fight, but in some instances, no one will emerge victorious. In each of the arenas for the first round, they hold elements from both the second round as well as the preliminary rounds we just held. Each arena is split in two, one half holding one element while the other holding a different. A randomizer decided which one was which, and which of you would be fighting in which arena.

As for what is taken from the Second Round… Traps…. 3 types of traps are throughout your arena. Each type takes up one sixth of the arena, leaving one full half untouched by traps. They are placed at random spots throughout the arena, and to those who cannot see beyond the naked eye, they will be unseen by you in most instances. Keep your senses sharp. Each and every one of you has been chosen to fight another by a randomizer. The examiners behind you hold a sign stating who you are fighting and will lead you to your arena.

For the next round after this, things change… Instead of 2 elements and 3 traps, its 3 elements and 4 traps. For the final round, it will be 4 elements and 5 traps. So! Without further ado! Good luck, and fight hard.”

[/color]

With that, they would be able to turn around and see who they were fighting and then be led to their arena. Things were nearly complete. The final test of the Chuunin Exams was here.

---

And as usual, there is some OOC stuff. Now then… Unlike the preliminaries, there is NO specific examiner watching over your battle. ANY examiner can make a ruling, ANY examiner can change the field up, and ANY examiner can end a fight. Below lists the fighters in this round, the arena type, and traps in the thread, and a posting order.[/center]

Itsu Iko

VS

Guan-Yin

[/size][/u]

ARENA TYPE

Element 1 - WATER: From puddles to lakes, this arena is covered in water. There are spots where they can stand on the water as normal, and other spots where the water is too deep to stand and be effective without using chakra. Water shooters shoot water from the ground at random times as well.
Element 2 - WATER: From puddles to lakes, this arena is covered in water. There are spots where they can stand on the water as normal, and other spots where the water is too deep to stand and be effective without using chakra. Water shooters shoot water from the ground at random times as well.

(Yes, this means the entire arena is Water)

TRAPS

Trap 1 - BEAR TRAPS: Spiked clasps that will close on the person that steps on it. Normally it will close on their feet, but if they are feeling with their hand, it will hit that too. It is hidden in the ground.
Trap 2 - ARROW LAUNCHER: A pressure plate causes a small hatch to open near it and launch 3 arrows. One directly at the pressure plate, and one both behind and in front of it.
Trap 3 - ARROW LAUNCHER: A pressure plate causes a small hatch to open near it and launch 3 arrows. One directly at the pressure plate, and one both behind and in front of it.

[Keep note... You do not know which traps are in your arena. You can easily see what the arena looks like, but the types of traps are unknown]

POSTING ORDER

Person 1 (Itsu)
Person 2 (Guan-Yin)
EXAMINER
Person 1 (Itsu)
Person 2 (Guan-Yin)
Person 1 (Itsu)
Person 2 (Guan-Yin)

As with the last one, the person who is listed first is known as Person 1, the person listed second is known as Person 2. For the first battle, your arena looks like what is linked below. Pay attention to the legend explaining the placement of each element and each person.



As with the next rounds match ups, the arena’s appearance will be posted in a second post. This arena is 100 meters by 100 meters, with each of you starting 5 meters from the edge (Making 90 meters in between each of you). The traps that littered throughout the arena are hidden. Dice rolls will be given during each time an examiner posts. It will be out of 90. 1-15 gives you trap 1, 16-30 gives no trap, 31-45 gives you trap 2, 46—60 gives no trap, 61-75 gives you trap 3, and 76-90 gives no trap. The traps and elements are predetermined by dice roll.

There is one rule I am also putting into place for the finals. The final rounds are to be more challenging then the last. As such… You cannot give up in your match if an attack is about to hit you. There will be no magical saves this time. You can give up after dodging/accepting an attack, but only when there are no more attacks being launched at you can you say “I give up”. The only exception to this rule is if your opponent states “I would do this, unless they give up”. If something along that line is stated, then you may give up during that point.

As with the last test, if you send a PM to an examiner, please state that you have done so and state which examiner you have PMed. I also still want you to state when you change elements. For instance… If you are in a water/lightning field, and you are currently in Water, but move to lightning, just state that in brackets so it is well known. The 2 day IIC is still in effect.

Regarding Training… You may continue training during this test. Anything not learned by the time you post your entrance MAY NOT be used in the exam. If you have to complete something, do it before you enter, same with buying anything from the temporary item shop. Anything learned before the second round begins may be used in the second round and you have another chance to go off and buy what you need from the shop as well.

That is all I have to say regarding the first round of the final test. If you have any questions, Please PM me ASAP or ask in the Chuunin Exam OOC thread. Good luck and enjoy.

[Itsu Iko]

When is it Itsu sees that it is his turn to battle, he closes his eyes and takes in a deep breath through his nose and holds for a few seconds and finally breaths out through his mouth. This helps Itsu calm down and his clear his mind, so after breathing out he quickly opens his eyes and takes his place on the arena. As he enters he sees that the whole arena is full of water he sighs thinking “All water, crap there goes my earth techniques.”

He quickly channels some of his chakra to his feet and then enters the arena, the chakra on his feet allowing him to walk right over the water. Itsu has mixed feelings as he is excited and nervous at the same time, most of his worries stems from the fact the arena is nothing but water. He takes in another deep breath to help himself relax and as he does he looks at his opponent and when he does his eyes become very wide.

As he looks at her he becomes enamored by her beauty finding her very beautiful, he continues to look at her especially her white eyes which he finds mystifying. He is nearly hypnotized by her eyes and beauty but he snaps out of it and shakes his head thinking to himself “Get a grip on yourself, she an opponent not a date.” He then takes a real look taking in her features mainly the headband on her forehead and after squinting and focusing on it he sees that it is the symbol of the leaf village.

He chuckles lightly to himself finding a little funny that his opponent from the preliminary round was also from a leaf village as well as a lady. He then looks at her eyes again and remembers that there is a clan that has eye whites that can see a person chakra to something like that he couldn‘t really remember. He continues to watch her and can not help finding her attractive but after a couple of second he realizes that he has been staring at her and blushes.

Quickly remembering his manners, Itsu quickly bows his head down in respect and raises it back up. He clears his throat and begins to speak loudly so she can hear him “Good luck to you and may the best ninja wins.” He smiles to his opponent and even though the leaf village and stone village aren’t allies he finds himself unable to be ungentlemanly. He even adds to it by saying “And if I may say, it is going to be a honor doing battle with someone as beautiful as yourself.” After saying it, Itsu begins to blush again and mental says to himself “Get focused or she is going to mop the floor with you.” He shakes his head again and starts to get focused trying to get ready for the battle.

[Guan-Yin]

{OOC: I'm extremely busy IRL, sorry for the lame entrance...=/}

In truth the girl was tired, her last match took everything she had to defeat him and even then she had much trouble being victorious. She stood still, not moving, not even blinking as she had no idea what would become of this match. Patiently she'd wait until the proctor yelled begin, activating her byakugan.

[Chuunin Examiner 2]

Two people from different villages... One from Stone and one from Leaf... The examiner smiled slightly, happy that everything was moving on. He opened his mouth to speak as his words roared throughout the arena.

"In the arena of Water.... Itsu Iko! And in the arena of water as well... Guan-Yin Hyuuga! Without further ado... Let this battle BEGIN!"[/color]

With that said, the two would be allowed to go as the various examiners posted throughout the arena kept track of what was going on, ready to step in when necessary.

[Itsu Iko]

When Itsu hears the examiner say “Begin,” he quickly becomes serious seeing the girl in front of up as a opponent and nothing else. Since the whole arena is nothing but water, Itsu will have to use his other abilities besides his mastery of earth. So he quickly takes aim at her and quickly begins to channel his lightning chakra to his right hand creating a lightning bolt in his right hand. When the lightning bolt is fully formed, Itsu brings his right arm back and quickly thrust his arm forward throwing the lightning bolt like a javelin toward Guan-Yin.

While he doesn’t expect the lightning bolt to reach her, he hopes to use it as more of a distraction as he plans on closing the large distance between her and himself. As runs behind the faster lightning bolt making sure to channel his chakra to his feet to keep himself from falling into deeper water. As he gets closer toward Guan-Yin, he makes sure to keep his eyes on her in case she tries to make some offense of her own.

[Guan-Yin]

[OOC: I..highly doubt a C-rank can travel ninety meters...just saying =/]

The girl activated her byakugan the moment the proctor yelled, 'Begin!' and she immediately scanned the entire arena, having 100 yards of advanced sight. She scanned the waters, noticing that some sections gets deeper then others, and also others were more shallow like a puddle. She happened to be standing on the shallow part for now. Traps, were located everywhere. Littered through this entire water arena, things weren't looking very good for the young shinobi. Removing a single smoke bomb, she noticed her opponent forming handseals and conjuring up some sort of electric bolt. Did he actually intend for it to reach her?

She shrugged the notion off as she set off the smoke bomb one yard in front of her and the smoke immediately dispersed within the air. His bolt would be sent flying through the air aimed at her, but would end up falling way short -- hitting the waters and sending its electrical currents within that area, nearly about fifty meters away from her. While he was charging forward, she would have then removed her smaller summoning scroll and summoned Yamada. She'd quickly place the scroll back as she performed several handseals and touched her puppet, giving it invisible properties.

Then, she allowed for the puppet to soar through the air invisible as she remained hidden within the smoke bomb. If he decided to run closer to her for an attack, she'd attempt to dodge and possibly counter it whichever way she possibly could. Twitching her hands slightly, her puppet made its way closer to the iwa shinobi.

Limit: Universal Nin, Unless Weapon Specialist, or Puppeteer

Invisibility
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: GenJutsu
Effect: The creature or object touched becomes invisible, vanishing from sight, even from dark vision.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: The Jutsu ends if the subject attacks any creature. If the user who performs the technique attacks, the invisibility sphere ends.
Description: The creature or object touched becomes invisible, vanishing from sight, even from dark vision. If the recipient is a creature carrying gear, that vanishes, too. If the user casts the jutsu on someone else, neither you nor your allies can see the subject, unless those are capable of seeing through GenJutsus. Items dropped or put down by an invisible creature become visible; items picked up disappear if tucked into the clothing or pouches worn by the creature. Light, however, never becomes invisible, although a source of light can become so (thus, the effect is that of a light with no visible source). Any part of an item that the subject carries but that extends more than 10 feet from it becomes visible. Of course, the subject is not silenced, and certain other conditions can render the recipient detectable (such as stepping in a puddle). Actions directed at unattended objects do not break the Jutsu. Causing harm indirectly is not an attack. Thus, an invisible being can open doors, talk, eat, climb stairs, summon monsters and have them attack, cut the ropes holding a rope bridge while enemies are on the bridge, remotely trigger traps, open a portcullis to release attack dogs, and so forth.
Limit: Must know Glamour Perception of GenJutsus, Must know Limited Invisibility.

[Chuunin Examiner]

[Itsu has missed the IIC. A dice roll has also been done for Itsu to see if a trap came his way. However... He now stops in the middle of the water field, just sorta staring off into space. Guan-Yin, it is now your post.]

As Itsu would slowly come to a halt, a bear trap would be activated and snap shut through the soft earth placed on it. It would snap shut on his right leg, only about ankle high. The water would slowly start to move around as if waves were going to start forming...

[Go ahead Guan-Yin]

[Guan-Yin]

The young Hyuuga watched hidden from behind a smoke bomb using her byakugan how her opponent foolishly decided to stop while he was charging for her, and activated a trap..'Wait, now!' This would be the perfect opportunity for the girl to bind him and even begin her lethal attacks while she had a shot. As she noticed the metallic mouth closing shut on his right leg, her own invisible puppet from above him about two meters would detach itself from each other and with a swift motion with her hands, they would clamp itself all over the stone shinobi's body.

His left leg, thighs, waist, back, neck, wrists, arms, locking themselves in a fixed position being guided by her ever so careful fingers. Her tight grip would never give up as hidden spikes from within the bind would release themselves, slicing the shinobi all over his body and with this bind in effect, it would cause survive blood less and if he didn't get it treated soon, possibly death. Now, her bind was complete, and if he attempted to move the detached puppets shackles would only delve deeper into his body, depending on how he reacted, she would decide on her next move.

The girl, still never having to move at all since the beginning of the match could only giggle, her strategies were always so fun to watch, was it not? She just loved a good squirm coming from her opponents, but she couldn't lose sight of what was important. Handseals would no be impossible for the man to do, seeing as the puppet at clasped around each individual arm and she know controlled his fate. If there was nothing for him to do, she would by using her puppet locked onto his body, now control even him by forcing him to move forward -- attempting to make him spring even more traps. He was about sixty meters away from Guan-Yin, but she would draw him closer, more traps awaited to be sprung.

[Itsu Iko]

Itsu suddenly becomes distracted and starts to not pay attention to what is happening around himself. This causes him to step right onto a bear trap that quickly closes around his right leg making him yelling and curse in pain. When the gets over the shock of the bear trap trapping his ankle, he quickly tries to think of something can we get him out of the trap. He curses to himself about the lack of barren earth in the arena, making him unable to perform any earth techniques. So he quickly kneels down and tries to open the trap with his hands the pain of the trap completely distracting himself from his opponent.

He suddenly hears something above himself and he quickly gets up and tries to get away, unfortunately the bear trap prevents this and his opponent’s invisible puppet wraps around him. He tries to struggle and get away but the puppet wraps around his left leg, thighs, waist, back, neck, wrists, and arms completely. Then without warning hidden spikes release from the puppet entering and slicing Itsu’s body but luckily the metal mesh shirt he wears under his t shirt should protect his vital organs.

The mesh shirt however could not stop the spikes from entering other spots of his body, causing Itsu to scream loudly in more pain. He then feels something run down different places of his body and he manages to move his eyes and that he is bleeding badly. He groans and realizes that if he doesn’t get some medical attention he will bleed to death. He begins to think of a way to get out of the bind but can’t think of anything, since the puppet is holding his arms making him unable to perform hand seals. Even if he could escape of the puppet and bear trap it wouldn’t be long before he would bleed to death.

Even though he was willing to give his life for his village, doing so here wouldn’t help his village in anyway and would only cause his village to lose a ninja. He takes in a deep breath which is getting hard with each second and quickly yells loudly so that everyone can hear him “I Surrender!!” Even as the word slip through his lips, he feels shameful for becoming distracted for becoming distracted and losing his match. Thankfully however the match should be over and he would be allowed to get medical attention so that he can live and try again at the next exam.

[Chuunin Examiner]

[It is from this line right here that I can pull you from the battle.

"depending on how he reacted, she would decide on her next move."]

When the words of surrender were given, a brief moment occured. No attack was being launched at him, and as such, the examiner appeared near Guan-Yin, a wind jutsu blowing away the smoke.

"By forfeit, Guan-Yin is the winner!"[/color]

That being said, the two would be allowed to leave, the examiner standing on the field as medics came in to help out Itsu Iko with all of the cuts all over his body. They would take him off to the hospital to receive slight medical attention. The cuts weren't enough for life-threatening injuries, so he should be fine for now.

[Congratulations Guan-Yin. Itsu, you may continue posting elsewhere as you want, but you will be injured. You must go to the Hospital in order to heal them, or have someone else do it. It will be D ranked in terms of severity][/font]

[EXIT]

[Guan-Yin]

Her hands would release the tight grip she had on the boy's body, removing each joint and part of her puppet and quick dashing it with the water to clean off the blood. She then combined the puppet together into one and withdrew it back to her, dispersing it back into its scroll. The examiners had blown away her smoke and declared her the winner, she sighed as ruffled her hair gently and wondered how her brother is doing in his match... Walking away from the arena, she finally left this water field but after she had deactivated her byakugan. She was thinking of buying a few more weapons...but was it worth it? There was a lot going on her mind, and she just wanted to be back home...home to her friends, her office, and more importantly -- her sanity.

[Exit]
