Official Battle Dome Moderator for Cloud: Kuro

Description:
A fighting arena is more then just a place where people are told to fight and kill each other. A arena is a special place within the village, where one can exhibit and show off their skills and power. An arena should be considered more of a place of entertainment in essence. Great fights are displayed in an arena; champions and legends are born; and stories of glorious battles are created. In ancient times, it was once said that an arena was birthed by two waring nations. Rather then shed blood and end the lives of hundreds of men, two nations at war would send a few of their best fighters to represent them in the Arena. The strongest fighters from both sides would duke it out, and fight to no end, showing their enemies the power and skills behind the nation which they represented....

This form of fighting transcended the need to have wars, and thus became a staple in some societies. During times of peace, Arenas were used for sport, entertainment, and exhibition. A village would use an arena as means to showing not only the strength of their people, but also their progress as warriors....

The arena located within the Hidden village of Cloud is known as "Girikamisama" or "The Honor of the gods". It is called this because, on the battlefield, and/or arena, you honor your god, and hope for Victory. Many warring nations may say a pray, meditate or give a sacrifice in the name of their god(s). To honor them and wish for their protection, guidance and success.

The Arena is a large, leveled and clear playing field. Its is an oval shape ring, which is roughly 200 meters long, 150 meters wide. The arena is very large in size, and can house more then 5000 people at one time. The arena floor is lower then the stand, where the crowds of people are located at. This difference from the arena floor to the stand is roughly 10 meters. The stand themselves are designed on a incline, so that the floor of the arena may be viewed from any angle. Their are a total of 4 entrance ways into the arena. North, south, east and west.

The Floor of the arena is usually composed of dirt, but with the assistance of Cloud Ninja (NPC's in this case), the arena floor can be modded to anyone's desires. With the Aid of Ninjutsu master, the Floor of the arena can be changed via Ninjutsu. Large amounts of water can be added to the arena floor, thus creating a small lake if need be. Dense wood land forest can be created, thus allowing for forest arena matches. Or even a sand and snow cover field may be created to suite the certain needs of a fight. The field may be created and modded back and forth to interchangeably.

For the benefit of the viewers, AnBu guards place up powerful barriers up around the arena. This prevents any and all harm from targeting bystanders and spectators. In addition to a barrier, Genjutsus are used as a means to magnifying the events and actions that are occurring within the arena. AnBu can enable large scale images to appear before the large crowd of spectators, which reflect the event of the current battle.

The lower levels of the Arena consists of holding pens, resting rooms and auxiliary hospitals. The floor of the arena was designed so that caged animals ca be risen from the floor, and enters the arena from below. Warriors from the arena can be placed on raised platforms as to enter the arena from below as well. The animal pens are kept tidy and cleaned at all, the hospital is ready to service and injury and harm, and the resting room is stocked with a slew of special foods and meals, which boost performance and/or prep warriors for continuous fighting. Services, food, medical aid are all free to Cloud affiliates.

Kareza was near to the Arena. It was very big and not what she expected, but this is the cloud village after all. She just didn't expect this place to be so well-built. She showed her mission paper to the guard and the man laughed at her. "Are you sure you want to do this little girl? This is a bear and you can get hurt or even worse." Kareza stared at the man blankly, and she just said a few words. "Yes, sir I am ready." She could have easily killed the man but he was a resident of the same country that she wanted to protect. If it weren't for that status he'd be dead. The man shook his head and pointed to the challenger's entrance. "Don't worry little girl...I'll make sure that you get a good funeral. Oh and I'll be watching." It seemed as if he was just a bit too bloodthirsty.

Was everyone in there just like him? She would find out soon enough. She walked through the long corridors until she saw a light. She continued walking towards the light as it grew larger and larger. She wasn't scared at all. The thing she was thinking was how would she make it appealing to the audience. Then she knew something that could work. She remembered that she had her branches from her last mission and she pulled them out.

"5 is enough...[/i]"

She walked out and into the inside of the battle arena it was Beautiful. All she had to do was dodge a couple of bear attacks, maybe get a scratch or something. Then she would finish it off. This would be a bit tricky but thanks to her Fighting style passive technique she shouldn't get so damaged. Anyway, it was time for her to shine. She would be in the spotlight fighting her opponent. This would be her first of many long, courageous battles. Her first true fight to becoming a sannin.

[Kuro]

"Ladies and Gentlemen! Tonight we bring to you, Kazerai Taikumo facing off against a Beast from the North," his voice would boom over the announcement speakers as he built the anticipation.

"The Feral Polar Bear!"

The crowd would roar in the building glory of Kumogakure. The man behind the glass box was doing his job correctly, but as he spoke the ninjutsu masters of Cloud would begin a sequenced jutsu for a field change, the chakra roared through the ground of the arena creating an ice covered field of play. Ice and mountains formed but places the ice would not cover would be water, colder then the ice that they would stand upon. The field was huge, across with hiding spots galore if one could withstand the brutal temperatures of an arctic day. The gate in front of the challenger would rise open, unleashing the rush of cold arctic wind in her face, the guards around her would shiver from the cold. But likewise on the other side of the arena the beast would be unleashed from his holding cell. Rushing off into the field it would quickly dive under water which would allow if his breath could be held that long, to swim all the way across the field. Blowing snow in the winds would hinder the vision to about twenty to thirty meters at max without the aid of doujutsu.

• 70% Ice
  
• 25% Water
  
• 2% Snow
  
• 3% Earth
  
• Visibility 20-30 Meters
  
• Hiding Spots 80%

Large mounds of Ice and snow had created mountain like structures, snow drifts would cover the field, few spots were actually open battle areas. This would be the homeland of the beast she was to fight. How would Kazera take to this new environment? The crowd would feel the chill even through the well set up barrier created to protect them by ANBU Bear Members.

"Kazera vs Feral Polar Bear!"

"Let the fight BEGIN!"

[Kareza (Kai)]

It was cold...

She took only a few steps in and she realized that it was too cold for her to stand it for long. This battle will have to end fast. She was already at a disadvantage, The bear had fur which insulated it's heat, humans like Kareza had nothing special like that. But for now she would grin and bear it. This match should be approximately less than 3 minutes. Her body temperature was dropping and she started feeling chills. Although she hasn't been this cold in a long time she was a shinobi, bred and trained.

She took her stance in the form of senbon taitoku as she saw her opponent had been released from it's cell. It immediately took refuge within the ice-cold water and she was ready. She would wait until it would attack her first. Thanks to it's barbaric instincts, it shouldn't be too hard to predict it's movements. She felt like she knew everything about this beast. It should be easy enough to take it down. She readied her 5 "wooden" senbon and she closed her eyes, relying on nothing but her sense of hearing. Sight wouldn't help much But sound should be a wonder. She activated 3 simple handseals, maybe a few other shinobi in the audience knew what it was.

She had activated one of her favorite jutsu.

"Sonar".

She was ready with her sensing jutsu in place and her passive technique from her hard-earned fighting style. This bear would die a horrible death. The cold made her want to speed up this fight but she needed to make it be more entertaining. Thus to do this she would keep her eyes closed the entire time reciting the song "Amazing Grace" at her deepest low-tones as if she was singing bass in the saddening song. This would allow her to 'see' everything happening around her. The crowd should be pleased at her perfect form. It was time for this fight to begin.

Her song had started.

'Am-aaaa-zing
Graaaaacccce
How
Sweeeeeeet
The
Sound....'

Senbon Taitoku Stance (5 TP)
Rank: E Rank
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: A way of holding senbon that adds to all attacks made with them.
Special:None
Drawback: Required to know for ALL other Senbon Taitoku jutsu
Description: Holding the senbon between knuckles but also holding their wrist back and the senbon farther up then most senbon users hold it. This adds to power and accuracy and allows the Senbon Taitoku to master their craft.
Limit: Must be of the Senbon Taitoku

"Sonar"
Rank: D-C ranked (D learned x3, C learned x2: total distance=100 meters) [90 TP]
Skill: Supplementary Ninjutsu
Effect: The user can locate the general location of enemies.
Special: Bird, Boar, Ox
Drawback: Some objects might interfere with the sonar. Low rank provides a 2-D reading (explained below). Must be learned multiple times
Description: The user performs the need hand seals. From there, the user emits 3, very low pitched sound waves(via voice or weapon). The sound travels very quickly in a 360 degree radius. The low pitched sound bounces off various objects with the area and returns to the user to interpret. With this done, the user can pin point enemy movement and location in fractions of a second. The draw back to this that the sound wave only travels in a flat line until a C-rank is attained.
The user begins with 10 meters distance, increasing 20 Meters every time learned. After 50 meters, Training is moved to a C-Rank, which then allows the user to emit the sound wave in all three dimensions. Every time learned in C-ranked increase the distance to 25 meters, With a maximum of 150 meters.
Limit: Must have sound release.

Odoriko Onchou (Dancers Grace) (80 TP)
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: Tai
Effect: Becoming more aware of their surroundings the user is unable to be caught flat footed or be flanked.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user may only learn this technique by the class that they are. This means that in order to learn the "C" Rank version they must be "C" Class, if they wish to learn the "B" Rank version they must be "B" Class.
Description: Training to heighten their senses in the heat of combat, the Senbon Taitoku user under goes training to become more prepared then ever. They slowly become aware of their surroundings on the battle field, to the point they become similar with it like their own back yard. With this natural sense of their surroundings the user can't be caught flat footed or be flanked. Which means if the user was walking down the road minding their business, and a ambush party burst out from the bushes. The user wouldn't be caught of guard and would most likely except it, and will sense someone was coming up from behind to attack and will act quickly and either attack first or get out the way. This works on whenever they are being attacked. This technique however has a major flaw. The user is capable of dodging only whenever the opponent's class is equal or lower to that of the rank of the technique they know. This means that a "D" Class user that knows this technique can not use this against an opponent that is "C" Class or higher.
Limit: Must be a Senbon Taitoku user

[Kuro]

The girl wouldn't be able to see the bear take it's entrance across the arena due to blowing snow. Yet she would begin to use the sonar technique as she sang, it would be affective for whenever the bear chose to surface, and soon that would come. As the bear's head would surface in a pool of water he would be within forty meters of the girl, she was up wind of him, and he could smell her. Though her sonar would see him, what would she do, as he jumped up and took his footing the shaking fur would throw water every where. A light growl erupted from his mouth, the showdown was only moments away.

[Kareza (Kai)]

Kareza stood there in her stance waiting for the bear to resurface. She stood in the brisk cold air and withstood it for a while. She was feeling cold but nonetheless she had to keep herself concentrated in order to keep her technique activated. She was on her final word when she felt the change in the water and "saw" the bear come out from it's underwater swim. She took her left arm grabbed one wooden senbon then flicked her wrist to create more power within her throw when the senbon left her hand it would make a loud pop (something like a firecracker). She had threw the senbon at the bear with her eyes closed very sure that she aimed for it's shoulder.

If the senbon had it it's mark it would cause the bear to be no longer able to use that arm. To be good at her fighting style one must know the human anatomy. The human anatomy is the basis for the rest of anatomies. They are all similar in certain ways. She knew that her opponent was a mammal. Seeing as how humans are mammals this fight would make it easier for her to target key points. The senbon was flying towards the bear at a malicious speed. Seeking to paralyze that Bear's right arm.

If she had missed then so be it. If not, this battle would end even faster. She begun the next line of her unique sonar.

My heart was skipping several beats and fluttering like a butterfly. I was in the local arena in Kumogakure waiting for my turn to fight. I heard the screams and roars and applause of the previous champions. Most of the competitors before were returning champions of the arena and easily demolished their opponent. They were usually 20-30 years old and they could kill a lion with their bare hands. I peeked out from the waiting room and saw a barely clothed man with no weapons at all took out a ferocious pack of wolves with one blast of flame. I saw also men with just a knife fight against terrible spiders, scorpions, sharks, and other monstrosities that nature could possibly create. And of course, the audience was delighted. But they were also disappointed. They were bored with the fact that these men were too powerful and no matter what they faced against, they would win. The audience wanted to see fear, failure, and possibly death.

And then it was my turn. As the commentator yelled out my name, there was not much applause. I was a rookie here and never even fought a creature before. I had fought a few bandits and even other shinobi but not creatures like this that were completely unfathomable. The spectators gave a scattered applause but were interested in what I would bring. I walked out in the arena, the sun blazing on my skin. The commentator explained what challenges I would have to face. I would be pitted against two giant lizards whom had the intriguing power to turn invisible. I heard also that these beasts were very tricky and clever with their abilities. It would be an even match. The doors, 40 meters away from me opened and two terrible beasts arrived.

[|Ayame Unbound|]

"Ladies and Gentlemen! Tonight we bring to you, Sora Ao facing off against a Beast from the Tropics," his voice would boom over the announcement speakers as he built the anticipation.

"The CamoLizard!!!!!!"

The crowd would roar in the building glory of Kumogakure. The man behind the glass box was doing his job correctly, but as he spoke the ninjutsu masters of Cloud would begin a sequenced jutsu for a field change, the chakra roared through the ground of the arena creating an ice covered field of play. Trees and swamps formed but places the trees would not cover would be grass, lusher then any the male had seen. The field was huge, across with hiding spots galore if one could withstand the brutal temperatures of a tropical day. The gate in front of the challenger would rise open, unleashing the rush of hot tropic winds in his face, the guards around him would begin to sweat. But likewise on the other side of the arena the beast would be unleashed from his holding cell. Rushing off into the field it would quickly dive into the trees.

• 70% Trees
  
• 10% Water
  
• 10% Snow
  
• Visibility 20-30 Meters
  
• Hiding Spots 80%

The lizard lay in wait, not making its move yet instead waiting for the prey to move closer, its skin camoflauged against the back drop. The six foot lizard would wait for sure.

"Sora vs CamoLizard!"

"Let the fight BEGIN!"

[Sora Ao]

Scene 2: The Skirmish

I wondered what I would expect in this competition against this most elusive creature. This camolizard seemed to have the powerful ability to turn invisible. They were about 6 feet long and 3 feet wide and had peculiar eyes. It flicked its tongue at me with a gaze of wrath. It started circling around me waiting to attack. Suddenly the ground below my feet ruptured and surged with a powerful wave of chakra. The ground trembled and couldn’t believe it. Snow was taking over this land and water and trees conquered this completely unfertile land. Lush grasses and ferns poured over the snow and water rained down forming something of a rainforest. I quickly ran to avoid the monstrous transformation of this arena. It seemed that this was the work of powerful masters of ninjutsu. I kept running until the rupturing and the tremors stopped. I jumped up and landed on a branch on a tall rainforest tree. The lizard leaped out and disappeared into the trees.

Holy motha Gonzalez. This was the craziest thing I have ever seen. The arena ground had suddenly transformed into a tropic rainforest. It looked like the audience wanted to “spice” things up a notch. Maybe a few thousand notches. This was a terrible situation. I was in what seemed like the lizard’s natural habitat and it had the advantage of knowing the terrain and turning invisible and could kill me if I was not careful. So that means I would have to be aware. I turned on my “Nameru” skill, the art of adapting. The art of preparing for what may come. I hopped on branches of the trees, always on the move. If I stopped, that would make me a sitting duck. I hopped about 15 meters away from me to the next branch and stopped momentarily to check my surroundings. Just shrubs and more trees. I jumped more and more. I stopped at where I was. I decided that I couldn’t just run forever. If the lizard wanted to catch me, let him catch me. I unsheathed my sword, set into my stance, and turned on my senses to the maximum. I was ready.

Nameru (To Taste)
Rank: E, D, C, B, A, S [45]
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: The user, through the sharpening of their five senses and an instinctual knowledge of flow, becomes aware of their surroundings and capable of defending against attacks.
Special: --
Drawback: Can only be learned up to your current Character Rank.
Description: The user strives to expand their senses, taking in data from all five senses and treating each of them as equally important. Through a combination of peripheral vision, hearing, and measurement of air pressure changes, the user becomes capable of perceiving threats around them and reacting accordingly. At E rank, the user can only perceive such threats as traps or projectiles. However, at the following levels, the user becomes capable of perceiving strikes from a foe of an equal level to the rank they have learned. Therefore, a B rank ninja could strike a C rank user of this technique and the user would not be able to perceive them via this technique and lose the majority of the benefits, though their dodging would benefit from the heightened awareness nonetheless. The user may only learn this technique up to their character’s rank. Thus, a C rank character could only learn up to the C rank version of Nameru. Nameru is limited to threats within twenty meters of the foe, as anything that doesn’t enter that radius is beyond the senses of a human to perceive. However, threats are perceivable once they enter that range.
Limit: Must be a user of the Hyouuryuu Yuki no You discipline of the Gintsuki no Seikou Mai. Must know Hyouuryuu Yuki.

Ryuuchou Koori (Flowing Ice) [5]
Rank: E
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: The user assumes the main stance of the Ryuuchou Koori no You.
Special: --
Drawback: --
Description: The user spreads their legs to shoulder width, their main-foot facing forward and their off-foot facing at a right angle to the main-foot. The torso faces the diagonal inbetween the two feet. The knees are bent to allow quick motion with short steps in either direction. The user holds their knife in their main-hand, with the elbow straight and the arm facing at a down-wards angle. The knife is aligned with the arm and the tip is above the ground. The off-hand is held at a down-ward angle with the elbow straight.
Limit: Must be a user of the Ryuuchou Koori no You discipline of the Gintsuki no Seikou Mai. Must Ryuuchou Koori.

Ken Mai (Blade Dance) [35]
Rank: E, C, B
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: The user becomes more graceful and agile, increasing their speed.
Special: --
Drawback: The user must train extensively to increase their speed.
Description: The user, through intensive training and study of the flow of the human body, learns to conserve and streamline their motions, making them faster and more efficient. As a result of this training, the user gains more graceful, faster motions and more efficient reflexes, allowing them to move and react faster than normal when wielding their weapon. This does not increase the speed of the ninja ad lib; it increases the speed and skill with which they can handle a weapon. A ninja may only learn up to their rank in this technique.
Limit: Must be a user of the Ryuuchou Koori no You discipline of the Gintsuki no Seikou Mai. Must know Ryuuchou Koori.

OOC: PM me next time you post please~

BiC// The male prepared but the lizard was also prepared, within an instant the giant beast would become invisible, its scales fading into the back drop. The scales would strengthen as well making it more difficult for the large creature to be damaged. With its defenses prepared the lizard would begin its search, ready for any person who dared enter the jungle. Yes this human male would have no change against a creature so great. As the thermals extended the male was spotte. Bingo.

He didn't care for what people wanted. Once there we waiting for the door to open and to fight the Lion. He says to himself, "This is just a little bigger then a cat, no problem, time to play." He grins as the doors open and he walks out to the arena.

OOC: NPC as The Lion

[Enter]

The large untamed beast waited impatiently behind a steal door, watching as a small human entered the ring. A low rumble of a growl would escape from the large cat's throat as the bars of the door began to raise. It's sturdy paws, big enough to crush this pitiful boy over and claws, sharp enough to tear through the roughest of flesh padded along the sandy surface as the Lion moved itself out into the opening.

The large crowd screamed as the large beast approached the boy. Cold, bottomless amber eyes watched it's prey intently as the Lion began to circle the boy. The noises from above and around seeming to not bother this hungry beast; as all it wants, is to sink it's sharp fangs into the flesh of this willingly prey before it and devour him...

OOC: Please excuse my crappy post, I have never done this before so please bare with me^^ And this should be interesting

[Zeth Zatachi]

Zeth looks at the lion calmly, "Hello kitty kitty." He smiles as he raises his left hand slightly in the air with his palm open. He focuses some chakra in his hand forming a 3 foot long lightning bolt which can be thrown like a javelin. "So kitty, do you like lightning?" He throws the bolt with full strength aiming for the lion's back spine.

[ladynatsumi]

The Lion watched as the boy held out his hand, palm facing the sky. From the Lion's position; which was two meters, it could have easily pounced and had taken the boy's arm off. Just as it positioned itself into a pounce, a spark suddenly lit up this human's handm creating a long bright light. Although the Lion refused to back down, instead it simply charged toward the boy.

The human threw the bolt toward the Lion, aiming for it's back; the Lion's quick reflexes kicked in, causing it to pounce toward the boy at top speed. The giant cat lept over the boy and had managed to dig a few of it's claws into theboy's shoulder as it dove over him. The Lion made a perfect landing, large paws touching the ground flawlessly, but claws did not retract. Turning around to face the boy again, the Lion let out an ear splitting roar that echoed out through the entire dome. This boy had just made the Lion angry...

[Zeth Zatachi]

Zeth looks at the angry lion, "Nice dodge kitty...but I would like to see how you stand to my most powerful jutsu! or at least to me its the most powerful...whatever die cat!" Zeth puts his hands together and does the following handseals as he says them out loud, "Dragon. Ram. Rabbit. Horse. Ox. Dragon. Snake. Ram. Rat." He puts his hands a little apart from each other while curling his fingers, he feels his chakra moving tho this body and into his hands. He smiles. Lightning starts to shoot out his fingers and form a sphere in between his fingers, which is only the size of a tennis ball. When the lion makes his attack Zeth will make the sphere expand 10 meters tall and 8 meters wide.

The Lion paces for a few moments, and watches the human perform funny signs. Another low growl was let out and a sharp and deadly swipe was performed. The Lion was not close enough to the human, but it's move was only to show it's anger. Once a small ball of energy formed within the human's hands, the Lion roared again.

It tore into another pounce toward the boy, but it didn't know that the small shpere had expanded into a giant shield. The Lion slammed head first into the lightning shield and was thrown back hard. The giant beast landed head first onto the ground, and twisted it's body around in shock. The giant cat got to it's feet and began to charge again.

[Zeth Zatachi]

Zeth sighs when he sees that the cat didnt break its neck on its fall. "Why cant life just be easy..." He sees the cat charging at him. He pulls out 5 kunai from his butt bag. Putting them each between his fingers. He focuses chakra into his hand and then into the kunia, "Charged Projectile!" He throws the kunia with average aimming, two at the ribs, one at the head, and two at the rear area of the lion, knowing even if they miss and come close to the lion he will take the shock of the tech.

[ladynatsumi]

As the Lion drew near, the human had quickly withdrewfive sharp objects. The Lion is unbothered by this as it was used to being tortured by these filthly creatures while it was waiting. Now that that human was within it's grasp, it decided not to falter, but to charge straight ahead. The Boy launches the objects and the Lion's reflexes were a little too late to react. The first two objects struck it's side. The beast roars in pain and falls to the ground.

Strugling to get up, another object makes contact with it's head, killing it instantly. The rest of the objects enter the Lion's flesh and the body twitches due to the nerves being active. A few moments of twitching and the Lion's body becomes still...

OOC: Congratulations. And I hope I didn't rush it...

[Zeth Zatachi]

Zeth walks over to the lions body, taking his weapons back. Wipes them off and puts them back in his butt bag. He checks the lions pulse making sure it was dead. Once he was sure he walked off and out the arena gates. He was off to the tower to collect his reward.

[Exit]

OOC; no that was pretty much about the same time the mission said it would be lmao 1-2 hours, thank you for your time

[Elgar]

..Enter the Demon of Cloud..

With her chakra refilled the Jounin would make her way into the arena. her sword resting on her side Kurenai would stand tall along the floor of the Battledome. Cracking the bones all along her body the young woman would stare out into the distance her body was craving a fight. Her muscles contently twitching, foot tapping, fingers wiggling. She was prepared for anything thrown at her. Kurenai didn't know much about her enemy. She didn't care to read to much of the mission after she left the tower. Lifting her head up into the air she would cock her head slightly to the right. Tilting her eyes down she would wait. The roar of the crowd would fill her body and mind. Lifting her six arms into the air she would let out a devilish howl. Silence would hover over the arena for a few seconds until a loud burst filled the crowd.
