and you guys complain about it being the examiners fault that this takes so long.

The place seemed to look worse the further they moved through the ruins, but something was definately off. No traps, no ambushes, no signs of life. There was something definately wrong about this situation, and every step closer he and his comrades got towards the supposed end of the city, the sensation about the situation grew slightly worse. [They must be out here somewhere, he thought to himself, his eyes looking from side to side searching for signs that someone else had been through here recently, so why wait for us at the damned end? Or why not come from behind? I don't like this one bit.

He turned behind him to those that he was travelling with, and then stopped. 'Looks like we aren't too far away from the end of this place, looking at the terrain. Whoever is out there, or whatever, seems to be waiting for us to get there rather than ambush us before. Be ready, and be alert.' He then turned back towards their destination, and with his defensive techniques still fully prepared, he advanced fowards towards what he fully believed was the ambush point that the examiners had probably set up for them.

The Shinobi would hold his technique for a little while longers as he noticed that no one seemed to be near him. He would back down for the time being on how much energy he was throughing out and simply scan fro those within a 50 meter radius. It was sure to give the Kaguya a little more time to move about as needed. The Sand nin would gather his strength as he traveled it alone. Kaguya would move about in the dark, staying out of all those who would be near him. He kept his distance and would let the others do the hard work for the time being unless he needed to get involved. As the shinobi moved, he gathered himself and presented a new idea of movement. He would travel as needed and from above, maintaining his hidden nature.

And there it was, heat signatures stretched upon his digital screen, revealing the frames that entered the area. Iron thumbs pressed upon orbs, holding onto their shapes as he began to move. Flickering forth, the creature would unveil two tear gas grenades from beneath his garments, watching as they landed before the two erupting in noxious fumes as he unsheathed his blade. They were twenty meters apart, though the orbs still landed before them swiftly, for the immense strength the teddy bear headed man possessed. With his right foot leading, his blade unsheathed with great force unleashing a concealed wave to which brought about destruction. Unblockable, the attack would likely hit one of the two.

Gosei Ryuu: Battōjutsu (Art of Drawing the Blade)
Rank: "B"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: Stance with right foot placed in front of left, pressing the blade of the sheathed sword against the curve of the sheath, which increases draw speed. The drawing of the blade is the same motion used for the attack.
Special: ---
Drawback: It is an all-or-nothing attack where missing the target results in the user being completely vulnerable.
Description: A strong attach where the user quickly unsheathes their blade with an attack in a single motion. This is a slashing sideways type of attack. User stands with the right food in front of the left. User holds the sheathe of the blade with one hand and the other lays lightly on the handle of the sword. With a fluent motion the user takes hold of the blade and un-draws the sword with an attack. A strong attack that is capable of unleashing "A" Rank of slashing power. Gosei Ryuu: Battōjutsu (Art of Drawing the Blade) may be used with Gosei Ryuu: Ryusen (Dragon Strike) at the same time.

The user slashes their sword with such strength and fierce force that a blade of force is shocked out with the blade knocking into whoever stands in its way capable of cutting capabilities as if it were a regular sword. When first learned this technique is only as strong as if a user was stricken by a simple bat. When the user learns the next rank, the "B" rank, the force feels like the user was cut like an actual sword. When the user learns the last rank, the highest rank, "A" rank" the force cannot be stopped by a block. The best option is to dodge. Depending on the user's class level depends on the strength of the technique.

Once my short amount of hand seals were completed, the transparent armor which I usually wore would creep up over my entire body. The armor itself can not be seen unless there was light that was hitting me in which case the light would reflect off of me, but at this moment, light wouldn't exactly be a bother to anyone. Regardless, if the sun did show itself, I'd simply put it away once again. For now I had nothing left to do but walk around. I needed another sign of the location of the thing... Going around aimlessly would be a waste of my time.

SPOILER: Click to show

Shōton: Crystallization
Rank: C, B, A, S
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user to create crystal to varying degrees.
Special: Handseals of the technique it is used with..
Drawback: It is impossible to crystallize electricity, wind, or fire. Any element that lacks a physical presence can not be crystallized. Sound Jutsu will act as if one rank stronger then their designated technique when being pitted against crystal. Sound techniques use their high frequency and vibration qualities to essentially shatter your crystals, as opposed to just break them, if they are geared towards acts of that nature *ie they are meant to damage physically and not some sort of genjutsu or the like*. When calculating damage vs the durability of your crystal, remember to add it together. If one person does an A rank vs you crystal that can withstand S rank, you can only endure one A rank more unless the crystal is redone/fixed which becomes costly.
Description: Using your abilities with the crystal release skill you are able to create crystal either by transforming the particles in the air, or a more prominent substance. The technique is your essential crystal technique. It governs two things: the amount of crystal you can create at once, and the strength of your crystalline constructs. At C rank the user is able to crystallize up to a 5x5 section of material per movement dedicated to the process after handseals. This of course can be edited to be proportionally the same such as a 6x4 meter area etc. Also, when you have this skill at C rank, your crystalline constructs are able to endure C rank damage before shatter. This defensive power stacks with whatever technique this is used with if applicable. As your rank increases so to does this techniques power. At B rank, your ability to crystallize becomes a 10x10 meter area, and its able to withstand up to a B rank. At A rank it increases to 20x20 meters, and is able to withstand up to an A rank amount of damage. At S ranks it increases once more to 40x40 meter area, and again is able to withstand an S rank amount of damage. With this technique the user is able to transport through crystalline structures of their own creation at a speed of 5 meters per movement (kind of like underground fish projectile). This technique is generally used passively within other techniques. This technique also allows a user to somewhat “dismiss” their crystal creations at will. When doing so the crystal seems to basically disintegrate.
Limit: Must have the Crystal release.

Kesshō no Yoroi (Crystal Release: Crystal Armor)
Rank: C
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: This jutsu allows the user to become encased in a thin sheet of crystal to protect them from blunt force trauma. This armor can also aid the user in performing stronger physical attacks. The crystal is transparent and can only be noticed by light reflecting off it.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: None
Description: Picture
Forming the needed hand seals, the user encases themselves in a crystalline armor. It is transparent, but is able to reflect light. It has the ability to block two C rank attack plus whatever your skill in Crystallization before breaking, and lends itself to enhancing punching/kicking taijutsu damage by a D rank due to it adding a slight amount of weight to the strike.
Limit: Must know the Crystal Release, and Shōton: Crystallization

She wasn't sure where Kininata and Kitsune were. She was scarcely sure where she was herself. Frowning, she raced through a few handseals, slamming her palm to the rubble littered ground after nicking her thumb against her teeth. With a comforting cloud of smoke, Rayna appeared below her, beautiful wings beating steadily, a motion in contrast with the thumping inside Shiki's chest.
"Okay, okay, so i got distracted, things aren't too bad yet!" She murmured to herself, as both she, and her lion ascended into the sky atop the butterfly queen. The kunoichi's frown didn't let up as she ran over her options. In the end, she didn't really have any choice but to proceed.

Her anxious gaze fluttered from building to street as Rayna flew just ten meters above the ground.
"Oh, i don't like this at all!" She whispered to herself.
"Kitsune?" The girl called out hesitantly. Surely the Leaf kunoichi could not be far? If only she could remember where she had last seen her... Handseals were formed, hastily. If she were attacked, which she considered rather likely, she simply refused to be an easy target! Continuing her flight, Shiki tried to calm herself. She was still determined to come out of this alive.

[/color] she ran with her arms behind her, following the great butterfly , her hair was whipped back and forth through the wind I whip my hair back and forth and her focus was very much on the path ahead, the surroundings were really all the same. Building after building, with no other life asides the gruesome maggots at her feet and the birds who seemed to always fly overhead.

As the great gates were quickly approaching, she assumed now to be the best time to prepare herself, after fluidly performing her own set of handseals, her body began to glow a gorgeous green with her legs persisting in moving onwards. That mysterious aurora soon transferred itself into the air, becoming no more than a mirror of Kitsuné, running by her side. Poured into the clone was her own medical chakra - able to heal wounds she could not. The jutsu was her own creation, and it would provide very useful in the times to come. " We've got one more companion Shiki! But try not to touch her, kay? " Of course that wasn't it, as bodily fluids were drawn from her body through her own methods, she would wait for the time to use another technique, one which would surprise everyone[/ul]

B Rank medical chakra used
Name: Healing Clone (Iyashi no kurôn)
Rank: A
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: The user forms one clone out of mainly medical chakra, which is used to heal wounds which the medic cannot.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: Consumes large amounts of chakra. Clone has no combat ability
Description: After performing the correct handseals. The user will create a clone made almost entirely out of medical chakra. The user must put a D Rank amount of normal chakra into the clone for moving around and such, they may put an optional amount of medical chakra into the clone, but cannot be anymore than an S Rank amount of chakra.(D-A)This clone has several uses. It can indeed be used as a distraction. As with all clones. But it's primary use is obviously healing. This technique is most often used when medics need to heal several patients at once or are unable to heal a patient themselves. The clone has no combat ability, and can only heal. Upon physical contact with sentient beings who have chakra, the clone will dissapate, and donate their healing properties to the recipient, quickly healing damage. Requires respective ranks within "Shosen no Jutsu" (Healing Hands Technique) for more healing properties.
Limit:Must be a medic. Must have 500 TP in Medical Ninjutsu

Issac has missed the IIC.

Zets -- You have roughly 31 hours left to post.

[Takeuchi]

OOC: Next time you guys change the IIC, please make it noticeable and not some tiny fucking note at the end of your post.

BIC:
The new area at first seemed to be empty as well, that was until this enemy made a grave mistake. He revealed himself to me, made his presence known, overconfident in his abilities. With my devil's eyes I watched his movements, save the release of two objects coming before it happened, fool. I would not allow such a thing to slow me down and right arm swung forth, releasing the orange object it held. With the shout of, "Protect me cone!" as I let the object fly it's purpose would be served when it hit the unknown projectiles away. With this strange bear-headed enemy still within my sight range I saw his motions, a powerful draw of his blade was coming, the strength of which would be capable of projecting a strike.

I did not plan on being in the path of such a thing, a simple block would not stop it, but a wall in it's path most likely would. With a rapid burst of speed I ran at an angle to the left, straight ahead and to the left across the rubble strewn ground, leaving an image of my body behind. Where I ended up I would not be struck, but a quick leap after that would send me through the long since shattered window of a building, the walls were still sturdy and would easily stop the blade, it was only a sword blade projection after all, it should be able to stop such a thing. I needed to come up with a new plan of action and as I thought hands moved into action, two short sets of seals taking place. On their completion scales would harden and a tail would grow, yet I was not still as this took place. I was ducking down out of sight, advancing towards my enemy as I lowered my temperature, my cold blood taking it's effect to cool my body to match the temperature of my surroundings.

Dragon's Purified Scales
Rank: "C", |"B"|, "A", "S"
Skill: Passive Ninjutsu
Effect: Hardening their scales, the Tokagekuran can make their skin very hard, almost to the point of impenetrable for a short period of time. For each rank of the jutsu, if activated, the user will be able to stop techniques one rank lower then the rank of the jutsu.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: Unable to use Camouflage jutsu while using this due to chakra being sent to scales as well. Can only be used once per thread. Only active for five (5) turns. Can not be used with any other armor jutus. Must be C-Rank to earn the C-Rank, B-Rank for B-Rank version, and so on.
Description: Once the user is able to activate this jutsu one will find that the scales will harden for a short time. Each rank of this jutsu is able to block jutsus one rank lower of this technique for a set period of time. In order to activate this one must perform the hand seals. It only stops Ninjutsu and Taijutsu. After the jutsu is either canceled or ends, the scales will turn back to regular skin.
Limit: Must be of the Tokagekuran, Must be C-Rank to gain. Automatically gained no training points earned.

Name: Dragon's Tail
Rank: C, |B|
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Creates a temporary tail to be used in many ways.
Special: Snake, Dragon
Drawback: ---
Description: The user forms the required handseals, focusing chakra to their butt and lower back region which would result in a puff of smoke. As the smoke would clear, it would reveal a large tail which can range from 4ft long, depending on what the user wants. This tail can be used in a number of ways; for example [deal taijutsu damage to opponent, use as a third arm of sorts to grip things, people, etc, also to trip opponents, and many other ways.] The tail is very strong, durable and can be used for both defence and offense. The tail is able to withstand a single C-Rank amount of taijutsu/ninjutsu. B-rank would allow to form a 6ft tail which can withstand three C-arnk worth of taijutsu/ninjutsu damage before the technique ends. The tail can only last five posts if not destroyed by then.
Limit: Must be of the Tokagekuran, Must be of Lizardman rank, Must have had the ritual preformed, Must know "Dragon's Purified Scales" of C rank.

[OOC: Sorry i didn't post earlier today - dead internet from rain is kinda annoying. Fortunately, I wasn't skipped yet; sorry for the interrupt there Loki]

The first sign that something was wrong was the subtle thud of two objects nearby; eyes flashed towards the sound, seeing gas pluming outward violently, barely letting Kininata catch a glimpse of the flickering image before them. Great - not what I really wanted to be contending with. The defensive techniques he had been preparing were now instinctive in his mind and his actions, for he had been preparing them for some time since entering the ruined city - and now his plan would take effect.

The first moment of his reaction would be to finish reeling the suiton jutsu he had been holding, directing it between himself and the gas expanding nearby. 'Suiton: Tajuu Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu.' A fraction of a moment later, he was leaping off to his right as fifteen water-formed copies formed up creating a defensive wall against general attacks. It was in that sudden moment that he heard the familiar sound of metal grinding against its sheath with speed and power. That brief exposure of sound was enough to let his mind trigger the second part of his previously held defensive plans.

The instant his feet touched ground again, only moments after the creation of the mizu bunshin, there would be a flicker of movement from where he stood, a blur of his physical body reaching out to a further ten meters away from where he had originally stood - perhaps getting to twelve meters away in total. It was not the greatest escape plan from what he had in mind, but he hoped that the clone wall along with his flickering motion of movement would give him some degree of effective defense from the ambush attack that had now been sprung upon himself and those he had been travelling with. Coming up with a plan of action afterwards, however, was now going to be the hard part - he was on the defensive.

The warmth of the body would simply hold near as they young shinobi stood in his place. He began the thought with that of most combat. His techniques continued to hold strong as he waited for something to either come near or stray through the area. Natsu would wait in his spot. He had gotten to the high part of the area and simply waited for someone to possibly make it to him with the correct passion. The young Sand shinobi prepped himself for battles as his body grew stronger from each passing moment. He was not concerned with anything that may or may not keep himself in tact. It was time to think of battle. He would stay in his place and keep that in mind.

"Ah? We... Did we..." Shiki murmured, frowning, her head cocked ever so slightly to the side as she considered the situation. The gates were opened, they were... free to go? The little kunoichi dismissed Rayna, falling lightly to the ground as her summon disappeared.
"Oi! Kitsune! Y'think that means we've done enough?" She asked, not sure whether to celebrate, or be wary for another trick. After all, the previous round had been hard, Shiki hadn't been entirely sure whether they were going to survive or not. Is it possible that they'd really performed adequately to be rewarded the title? She supposed, after all, it was the Amekage's decision, when she returned home, right?

All this thinking was just annoying.
"Whatever! I am outta here~! I'm sure we'll meet again, so don't slack off, got it?" Shiki called back to the Leaf Kunoichi, before she sped lightly away, giggling as she left the Chuunin Exams behind her.

[OOC Since the exams is order, time to ignore post order!]

Kininata rolled, expecting more from his attacker... instead, though, the enemy seemed to vanish; the gate leading out of the ruins - and therefore, victory at the exams - was open. He heard Shiki say something, but he was still getting over the fact that they had simply been allowed to walk away from the exam, successful, and intact. He brought himself to his feet, brushed off the dust from the shockwave of the attack, and sighed in satisfaction. 'Well, I managed to keep my promise after all.' He said under his breath, and smiled. He was alive and had passed.

With a gleeful bounce to his step, he headed towards and through the archway of the door, somewhat pleased to finally have the Chuunin exam out of the way of his path to rebuilding his life. Now when he went home, he could feel as though he had taken a step forwards towards proving to himself he was doing something right. But first, he had to go and send a message about Marii's student... something that he was not going to look forwards to.

" as a hand was placed onto the golden pendant she had always worn around her neck since that day all those years ago, tears ran down her cheeks and fell to her cleavage. She needed not speak further, her emotions of happiness, knowing she had passed was enough for her to cling to for the present time. Shikis words went unnoticed as she reminisced of her medical training. She wiped the water from her hazelnut peekers, and made a distinct grin. Bending down, she picked up the purple bobble, but decided not to tie her hair back..a new hairstyle seemed appropriate.

" Congratulations, Shiki. Kininata. I wish you two the best of luck, and hopefully - I'll see you soon. And don't worry Shiki, I'll keep getting stronger if you will, haha " A quick handseal was made and her clone vanished into the dry and draining air. It gave a smile before becoming nothing but green, and soon joined the atmosphere. She proceeded onwards, home she went. Finally, she could return to the place she loved most - Konoha.[/ul]

Natsu would move out as the exam seemed to be over. The young shinobi would remove himself from the roof tops and simply make his way back to his home. The exams had ended with some sort of danger built in as two of his close companions had died due to the events of the first exams. Natsu would not take this easily and be forced to live with his decisions. He would return home.
