[E] Umei Maki - 2

[Tieren]

Before lies a rather small, dark, and dank passageway. The size seems just big enough to walk through, as well as any companions without causing anyone to squish. Even the one with the large machine would find it just big enough for it to get through without scraping along the walls. It was as though each one was designed specifically for each person. Could this be what the person who registered all for the exam was typing in the entire time?

As the passage continued to be navigated, the lights barely lighting up the walls, floor, and ceiling, a voice would finally ring out through the area, one that was rather familiar. It was the registrar, and apparent proctor of the exams.

”Greetings to you all for participating in the exams. For passing through your doorways, you have chosen to partake in this years Chuunin Examinations. Before the exams truly begin, I have an announcement to make. Three participants did not meet the deadline. Asami Lei-Fong and Sasayaki Hateke of Leaf as well as Kaoru Takeuchi of Waterfall did not make it to their doors in time. As such, they have been disqualified, leaving the number of participants at Twenty Four.”

”Now then. As stated before, for these exams, you will be working alone, or with whichever animal or mechanical companion you brought with you. Each of you will be watched every step of the way. In a few moments, you'll step into a larger room where you will see a few things that we will be giving you for these exams.”

After those words were said, that room started to light up before each individual. It wasn't incredibly large, but gave a bit more breathing room unlike the previous passage. In the center of the room was a table. On it held a circular disk, a black box, and a small earpiece.

”Before you lies three things. A earpiece, that will help deliver special instructions. Anything you hear over the intercom is being broadcast to all areas. But anything that pertains directly to you will be played through the earpiece. If you choose not to wear it, be cautious, for you won't hear any special instructions that could cause you to fail the exams. The disk is something you eat should you feel the exams are too much. Your testing will end and you will immediately be ejected from the testing area to go back home. The black box is a room reset. It is a one time use. If you feel that you have come across something you cannot handle, throw the box at the ground and everything else in the room will disappear. But as I said, it is a one time use. If you use it on one thing, you may find yourself against a more difficult test later on.”

A few moments of silence passed before the words started up again, as though giving the participants a chance to collect the items and place them where they want them.

”Each of these exams is catered to the individual. We have obtained records of your abilities and your previous missions from your village. In the process, we have been able to formulate each exam to each person. The stronger you are, the harder it could end up being. So no two tests will be the same. We wish you the best of luck, and we hope to see you at the end of the exams.”

And with that, a light appeared at the end of the room, allowing each person to go through and begin their personalized experience.

[OOC: As stated in the post, each thread will be different. If you are S rank, you'll fight harder enemies than one who just got the 500 TP needed for the exams. So each examiner will be doing things differently. The name of each thread lists who will be in it, and the number is who your examiner is. There is no IIC for these threads. You can take as long as you need to when making a post as I want you all to think about it and work on the best possible post that you can. The examiners have a 3 day IIC. If the examiner has not posted in that time, PM me and I'll be sure to get another examiner to post. I will also make a note if an examiner has PMed me to tell me that they will be gone for a short period of time. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me or your examiner. Let the exams begin!]

[Fui]

Umei had passed through her door arriving at a strange yet wonderfully dark tunnel. The tunnel reminded her of times gone by where she fled and was originally happy with her love. Before allowing her thoughts to turn sad she shook her head letting the singular tear flow down her cheek. Whilst wearing her typical black and silver attire, her sound head band nestled neatly upon her body, she may not always wear it but this was the chuunin exams and it was a must. Checking her two large S rank crystal cockroach holders were in good condition she would set off. The HUGE sized crystal trashcan which held an S rank amount of roaches was good, as was the HUGE crystal hobo coat. The coat squirmed with her other S rank amount roaches but she didn't mind. To be safe though Umei pulled up the hood of the coat and fixed the crystal so that now only the soles of her feet and her face were upon.

For now she wouldn't perform any ninjutsu but when the time would arrive, the first thing she would do would be to call upon a crystal armor that would protect the rest of her body. For now though she walked through the darkened hall arriving at a small room, the voice of the examiner echoed through the room as the lights came up. Finding an ear piece, a small disk and a black box on the table. Standing and looking around her as the voice spoke was a little unnerving but she swiftly found out what needed to be done.

Picking up the ear piece she would slot it in her ear while she placed the small disk and the black box in her Buttbag type 1, keeping them safely away from the 20 kunai, each with two exploding tags attached, her other slot and a half of loose exploding tags and her lensatic compass. It was clear that for these chuunin exams she would be alone, at least she had trained for combat by her self should she need it. With the speakers no longer emitting their colors or noises Umei knew it was time to move on, seeing a brighter light at the end of the room she would make her way over. Her hands were ready by her chest to perform and hand seals she may need.

Always Active:

Ne-tame-kara Jigen (Sound to Sight Dimension)
Rank: C - 10
Skill: Ninjutsu, Supplementary
Effect: Perceives sounds as colors/images
Special: “Hand Seals”
Drawback: Only applies to sounds within the human hearing range.
Description: Through the strange wiring of their blood line the Ranzatsu is able to perceive sounds as colors or images. This in no way affects their ability to hear or be affected by sound their actual hearing is secondary to the sights.
Limit: Must be a Kankaku Ranzatsu

Supplementary Techniques:

SPOILER: Click to show

Earth Mastery
Rank: (B,) A, S
Skill: Passive
Effect: Causes earth based techniques to develop a natural hardness, more so than what the standard ability would allow.
Special: ---
Drawback: This does not negate the natural effects of enemy attacks. Example: While a fire jutsu may not instantly destroy something created, it can still burn it.
Description: Earth Ninjutsu, typically, are based around defense. After much time and dedication, the user understands how to enhance these defensive capabilities even further, hardening their techniques to, at times, and ridiculous strengths. At B-rank, the users techniques harden to the point of iron, and are capable of withstanding a C-rank’s worth of damage before the damage begins to affect the technique. At A-rank, the techniques retain the hardness of steel, capable of withstanding a B-ranks worth of damage. At S-rank, the techniques become as hard as titanium, capable of withstanding an A-ranks worth of damage before they are affected as normal.
Limit: Earth Release. Once the user has gained 500 TP in Doton Ninjutsu, this skill is gained automatically. A rank is gained when 750 TP has been obtained, and S rank when 1000 TP has been gained.

Shōton: Crystallization
Rank: (C, B, A, S) - 20,70,100,120
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.

Blattaria Understanding
Rank: "C" - 30
Skill: Supplementary
Effect: Allows the user to understand, and communicate with the roaches.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The best weapon of the Blattaria is to understand them, to be with them, to move around them, and to be capable of communicate with them. The best weapon, and the first thing one must be capable of doing is to communicate and understand the roaches. This technique allows them to understand and communicate with Roaches of all kinds, from all around. This could be used in order to help the user to gather types of information that a roach may know, as well as to understand the habits of the Roach. In order to control and go into the other techniques the user must know this technique first.
Limit: Must be part of the Blattaria Clan.

Blattaria Control
Rank: "C" - 30
Skill: Supplementary
Effect: A technique used as dominance in order to allow the user to control the roaches.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: A technique needed to allow the user the capability to control roaches around, to have the roaches perform tasks that are in need. These tasks may be different types of techniques, or ways of allowing the roach to act, or perform in which the user may need. This technique is the grunt end of what would be considered to be the start of the Blattaria Clan. In order to control and go into the other techniques the user must know this technique first.
Limit: Must be part of the Blattaria Clan

[Chuunin Examiner 2]

"....It's time."

A voice came into the earpiece as Umei was introduced to what appeared to be a rather futuristic arena. Gray panels lined the floor, similar walls and a ceiling spanning out for a circumference of at least fifty meters. The faint whir of electronic devices in constant rotation was audibly evident, though little else could truly be analyzed until one stepped closer. Various lights lined the floor and seemed to circle the entire digital arena, rainbow-colored strobes dancing about in a random spectrum with every passing second. Two towering stations were present, one in front of the other and perfectly parallel. The arena floor itself appeared to be in the shape of a square altogether. As Umei awaited the next portion of the Exam, the same voice came over the earpiece. "Step onto the platform in front of the tower station. It'll take you up to the tower."

The instruction was simple enough. But afterward, a male figure appeared from the shadows of the distance as the light fixtures shifted. Donning what appeared to be a crimson Kage's uniform, the male's piercing brown eyes stared straight ahead. Blonde locks prevailed about his head, flowing gently against the winds that the platform on his side kicked up. He stood at the top of his station and approached the railing, his arms folded across his chest. "Well, well, well. It looks like our first victim is here. You've got quite the sex appeal to you, lass. Too bad it won't grant you any special treatments."

As his words finished, he unfolded his arms and revealed what appeared to be a deck of brown cards in one hand. But on his hip, there rested small spheres that emanated an azure light. He'd ask a single question, and then all would fall silent.

"So tell me, pretty lady. Would you like to play a game of cards? ....Or would you rather I show you my collection of rare animals?"

What an awkward situation.

[Fui]

Umei entered into the room ahead of her with caution, these were the chuunin exams and one had to be careful. A quick flash of the handsigns and a crystal armor formed over her body, feeling a little safer now she would undo the hobo coat and take down the hood. In the center of the room sat a platform, She used to hear voices all the time and the addition of a new one through her ear piece was nothing much to her, with her S rank crystal armor now upon her she would happily walk over to the platform, out of preparation for what was ahead Umei would place all but one of the handseals needed for the Blattaria's radical change jutsu.

Looking around at the beauty of the room beneath her for a moment she would quickly look up in anticipation of what was to come. Arriving at the top she would be greeted by someone wearing what resembled a kagé's uniform. Raising a single eye brow she kept her hands at her chest ready to perform the final handseal for the jutsu.

"Well, well, well. It looks like our first victim is here. You've got quite the sex appeal to you, lass. Too bad it won't grant you any special treatments."

Hearing those words would put a smirk upon Umei's face, twas a smirk like noe she had pulled before. She couldn't wait to see this guy's face in about a second. Performing the final handseal the S rank amount of cockroaches in her Hobo coat would flood out and swarm the area before re gathering around Umei. Layer upon layer of cockroach swarmed her and lifted her up as they shifted and shimmered before locking down in form.

Umei now stood 64ft tall, upon her back two set's of insects wings emerged while on her body there were two set's of arms and a normal one pair of legs. Her head had changed to what looked like a helmet the helmet and what looked like armor on her torso was a metallic grey while her body held a basic blue color.

Thank you darling, I think you are quite the handsome man too. As she spoke the three parts of the beasts mouth opened revealing the snarling white teeth and the tongue as long as a mans arm. Umei would give out a chuckle, she was ready for anything which could come at her right about now. Awaiting the mans response she would be given a choice, for her cards were probably to be better right about now, she had to be careful of insectivores.

If you don't mind, I will quite happily take the cards, I don't quite fancy your animals. Besides I'm sure you wouldn't live up to the animals I had met. Her comment was meant not only to tease but to put him down a little showing she didn't quite mind if he tried putting her in any sort of awkward situation. She had no family or nothing left now so there was no one to be embarrassed for.

OOC - THE COCKROACH BEAST, ALSO YOU DIDN'T STATE THE ROOMS HEIGHT ETC WHEN I WENT UP SO I ASSUMED I HAD ROOM TO GO THIS LARGE.

[Chuunin Examiner 2]

"Showing me the goodies already? I don't get that personal on the first date, lass."

An amateur mistake of a Genin who had invested far too much into their own skills. The "Kage of Frost" simply stood there as the cockroaches crawled and came together to form that huge beast of great size. Unimpressed eyes watched the glorious display. But what this Blattaria woman hadn't taken into account was that he was fully aware of her skill and what she was capable of. He'd simply asked her to step up onto a platform and choose the cards or the animals. But in her haste, she had chosen far more than he had originally asked. With that being known, he would show no mercy in punishing her actions.

"Choosing the cards is a grand idea. But being so arrogant? I'm going to have to dial it back a few numbers. Please forgive me, lass." Almost instantly, the entire arena erupted into a sudden screech of sound that emitted extremely strong pulses. The pure speed of the rapid cadence was enough to break her crystal protections faster than she could renew or create new ones, reducing her form to a pile of roaches that now scurried about in confusion. Specially tuned to disrupt their function, the Kage figure casually shuffled his cards as he was unaffected by the sounds. He whistled his own rendition of a theme song, stopping only after Umei was brought down to the platform.

"Now that we've got that out of the way, let's begin our little card game. If you would be so kind as to look there on the pedestal, there's a deck of cards for you." Sure enough, the point of reaching the tower station would be to be able to reach the cards that had thus far been hidden out of view. The squares on the floor lit up as the false Kage removed five cards. They were altogether hidden from Umei's sight. Drawing one more, he smiled. "The sounds that were just emitted have disrupted your natural ability to mold chakra. From this point forward, every attempt will cost you an extra fifty percent of effort. So, my dear, a simple fireball jutsu will feel like you're trying to level a city block. Consequences. You understand." His tone was still so casual.

Handseals were performed with one hand as he set his deck of cards down. There were various spaces for which the cards could be placed, so they would not need to be continuously held. The Kage summoned an activation of the arena, and thus their little game would begin. He placed a single card down onto the field, and from the square panels on his side (numbering half of the total squares), an entire forest would suddenly emerge. "Treat this game as you would treat your own life. I will give you the scenario (In this case, the forest), and I will give you the question. There is a target for every answer. And now? The target."

With another card placed, an image of a sheriff would appear. He stood within the forest setting, though he appeared to be in a position to battle at the faintest whim. "Your deck is filled with cards that will either help this lad or harm him. Each card possesses a word that says 'Attack', 'Defend', or 'Do Nothing'. It is up to you to choose what he does. But note - the words on the cards are subject to different meanings. It is up to you to decide the overall outcome. Now for the question..." he spoke.

What appeared to be a beast card had been placed. The gigantic monster broke through the forest floor, snarling and gnashing its teeth at the sheriff. The "cowboy" turned toward it, stepping back on a foot and waiting.

"What is your ideal when it comes to becoming a Chuunin? Will you ATTACK to destroy your opponents utterly, will you DEFEND if you have no guidance, or will you DO NOTHING while someone else makes the first move? Choose carefully."

- Awaiting Umei's Card Play For Results

[Fui]

The blast of sound roared forth at her, all the crystal she wore would shatter and her cockroach form would rupture and collapse in on itself. Aww that's no fun sweetie Umei would give a slight chuckle and take a seat, It seems you know sound is my weak point, I guess that also mean you are aware that I can see sound as color and that was a truly beautiful display. Actually on that point of you knowing about me, You must be aware that I am very ninjutsu adept and I have quite the chakra reserve. Umei would chuckle once more turning to find her roaches scuttling around every where.

This is not going to be an attack but I would rather not have my beautiful friends running around everywhere. Knowing about the chakra drain she would smile and create two crystal structures returning the huge crystal hobo coat to her person and by her side a huge crystal trash can. With a few clicks of her tongues the dual S rank amount of roaches returned to their containers, she felt the added chakra drain but it was nothing compared to what it took to create the S rnak beast.

Umei watched as he pulled the cards out gifting her with a few herself, from the cards the man placed down it was evident he was going to be controlling the beast while controlling the oddly familiar cowboy was up to her.

"What is your ideal when it comes to becoming a Chuunin? Will you ATTACK to destroy your opponents utterly, will you DEFEND if you have no guidance, or will you DO NOTHING while someone else makes the first move? Choose carefully."

A slight 'hmm' escaped Umei's lips, I find it rather unfair that you know about me yet I do not even know your name. Umei would lay down the defense card. As to your question I would defend my position, like with earlier I didn't know what to do nor what to expect but with a defense up it tends to make figuring things out easier or at least give you a chance to. With this apparent fight you have I do not know the circumstances, I mean is the cowboy approaching to attack the beast on purpose or is it just him strolling into territory by mistake or even is the beast randomly attacking him.

Umei would sit watching the man to await his response, she may have an extensive amount of chakra but in this area especially using it could really take it's toll and during these exams she would need it.

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.

[Chuunin Examiner 2]

"Hmph.."

He listen to Umei's words, though choosing only to respond to the most relevant. As the system registered Umei laying the Defense card, he couldn't help but grin from beneath the guise of his Kage attire. There was significance to every action. There was a meaning in all that was occurring here at the Chuunin Exams. From the very moment that Umei had walked through the doors, there was truth and integrity about every footstep. As for the results of the Defense Card play?

"Examine the situation first. That's the key. Even as a Chuunin, you don't just leave the village or go off on your own like a Hero. Only those who stand like arrogant fools will be cut down the quickest. Those, almost unlike yourself, who truly know what they're up against. Those are the ones who stand the chance, lass."

The beast roared in great acknowledgement at the cowboy that seemed to take up a defensive position. The forestry itself seemed to shift and charge the beast's power, giving it a faint glow of enhanced ability. The "Frost Kage" tipped his hat lightly. "But you brag too much, lass. I'm not here to be your rival. I'm here to test the things that you need to advance. If you can get past your boasting, then you'll be able to spend more time searching the depths. Now, then..." he said. The beast was beginning to shift and morph. Placing another couple of cards down, the square panels at the bottom would activate. But these were for a different purpose.

Lights. Camera. Action.

The entire panel was now obscured by a thick mist. But just before it had been veiled, the beast could be seen moving toward the cowboy on the field. Umei's deck would be forcefully shuffled, the cards disappearing from her completely and being replaced by a new deck. This one was identical to the other, but it held multiple cards that each had jutsu written on them.

- Underground Fish Projection Jutsu -
- Great Fireball Jutsu -
- Shadow Clone Jutsu -

"You've successfully gone on the defensive. Now that you see that the beast won't attack before being provoked, the question is - how do you prepare? The jutsu on the cards are great, but you can only use one before my next turn comes up. What say you, lass? The cowboy won't leave until you've defeated this monster. Take too long on the defensive or do nothing? At some point, I will summon helpers to aid the creature. What will you do?"

[Fui]

"Examine the situation first. That's the key. Even as a Chuunin, you don't just leave the village or go off on your own like a Hero. Only those who stand like arrogant fools will be cut down the quickest. Those, almost unlike yourself, who truly know what they're up against. Those are the ones who stand the chance, lass."

Umei paid attention to what the man said, this was the chuunin exams after all and everything said or done was deliberate. With a slight sigh Umei would look down at her cards then back up wishing she had been raised in the life of a ninja instead of just joining at a later age. Maybe then she could have been more prepared for these exams. Sometimes you don't have a chance to examine the situation first though, so you must do what you can to come up with the strategy to deal with it.

Her tone had dropped down, it was not one of defeat but one with a hint of sadness as the memory of her first child came to mind. She done what she could to deal with her situation but not everything had gone how she planned nor hoped.

She watched as the man would place down three cards, there was not much she could do but watch as the beast charged the cowboy. Realizing the wasn't much she could do Umei was about to place down the attack card but then everything was gone and a new deck had appeared. In her hands the two cards had been replaced by three completely different ones.

She had been given the choice between three jutsu and they were great jutsu at that. The Shadow clone is probably the strongest... but if it get's hit then he has lost half his chakra.... the way she spoke wasn't addressed towards the so called 'Kagé' but merely just to think aloud. It hadn't taken long for her to decide on what to do but the charging beast helped make it clear for her.

"You've successfully gone on the defensive. Now that you see that the beast won't attack before being provoked, the question is - how do you prepare? The jutsu on the cards are great, but you can only use one before my next turn comes up. What say you, lass? The cowboy won't leave until you've defeated this monster. Take too long on the defensive or do nothing? At some point, I will summon helpers to aid the creature. What will you do?"

Umei laid down the fire ball jutsu card Aim for the mouth when it roars, but only if you cannot dodge it she didn't know if the cowboy could hear or understand what she said but she needed to find out now rather than later in case of the additional creatures.

Earth Mastery
Rank: (B,) A, S
Skill: Passive
Effect: Causes earth based techniques to develop a natural hardness, more so than what the standard ability would allow.
Special: ---
Drawback: This does not negate the natural effects of enemy attacks. Example: While a fire jutsu may not instantly destroy something created, it can still burn it.
Description: Earth Ninjutsu, typically, are based around defense. After much time and dedication, the user understands how to enhance these defensive capabilities even further, hardening their techniques to, at times, and ridiculous strengths. At B-rank, the users techniques harden to the point of iron, and are capable of withstanding a C-rank’s worth of damage before the damage begins to affect the technique. At A-rank, the techniques retain the hardness of steel, capable of withstanding a B-ranks worth of damage. At S-rank, the techniques become as hard as titanium, capable of withstanding an A-ranks worth of damage before they are affected as normal.

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 "Frost Kage" placed a finger under his chin as he thought about her words. With a simple nod, he allowed her to place the card down and watch the results. As the enshrouded area began to clear, she could see the cowboy performing a set of handseals before blowing the Great Fireball at the roaring monster. Surely enough, the monster's great maw would swallow the fireball. But upon explosion, flames would begin to spread out from its stomach. The "Frost Kage" himself winced as a bolt of lightning descended from the top of the arena and struck him. "Ha! GOOD!" he exclaimed, electricity running along his skin as he nodded. It appeared that the successful destruction of the monster had reduced his life force by a small amount.

Gathering his wits about him, the Kage stood upright and lightly applauded Umei. "Good. Very good. But you're missing something.." he stated. The flames had now begun to effect the forest. The beast itself had been blown apart, but its flaming body parts were now catching fire to much of the forestry. Smoke was beginning to pour into the area, and the cowboy was quickly becoming engulfed in the onslaught of heat. Without much chance to survive, the smoke reduced him to falling onto his hands and knees. "If there is an action, then surely there is a consequence. You sought to destroy your enemy. But you didn't take into account what it would cost you with such an element being used. The trees are fuel for your fire." Unfortunately for Umei, the cowboy would perish and become a crystal structure. Breaking apart and becoming nothing more than a fine powder, the remains lifted into the air and floated away.

Umei would suffer the same fate as the Kage, a lightning bolt coming down and striking her with enough force to bring her down to a knee. The forest would eventually begin to fade away. By this time, the Kage had once again shuffled his deck and drawn cards. This time, he planted a rather eccentric card on the field. The entire square panels beneath them began to warp and shift, taking on what looked to be a cartoon's playground. "You've got a good head on your shoulders, lass. Now I ask you: What is love?" the Frost Kage asked. He played another card, and a small boy would arrive in the middle of the Toon World. He was completely blind, and nothing but darkness stayed with him.

Two cards were placed face down on the mysterious figure's side of the field. On Umei's side, a few cards slid out for her to take. On them, there was "FAMILY", "POWER", and "TRUTH".

"Along with the question, which will you give this boy. Choose carefully." A new playing field had been set. It was time for Umei's methods of thinking to change. If she was to be a Chuunin, then the mind would have to deal with many calculations....as well as many anomalies.

[Fui]

The lightning struck both Mei and the fake kagé before her bringing each of them down to their knees as their 'cards' were destroyed. A muffled call out of pain escaped her lips, it was not something she was expecting but at least the crystal structures she had made stood firm. Checking to make sure her roaches were okay Umei's eyes would turn to the field, upon the field a lot had now changed.

A giant animated toon area had appeared, but it was like something out of a child's nightmare. Looking around she would find a lone little boy standing in the center. She would look down at the cards in her hand to notice that three others had emerged, apparently she was going to be getting three new cards every time now. Upon them were three words all very different but all very similar, each word could end up providing what the other did but in her heart there was only one card she could choose for the child.

Selecting the card stating family she would place it down ahead and towards the child. Family may not be perfect.... but everyone deserves it. Within family power can be found as well as truth although this isn't often at one's own leisure.... dropping her tone of voice she would mutter... Every one deserves family once more.

[Tieren]

Suddenly, above everything, a voice rang out, no matter where each participant was. It was the person who was in the main room and registered them for the exams.

"Attention, Participants. Hanabi of Mist committed suicide and has since been removed from the exams. Katsu Kazeraikou of Cloud has used his disk to remove himself from the exams. That is all."

And with that, silence came from over the intercom. It was clear that he made a point to let everyone know how the others were doing.

[Chuunin Examiner 2]

"Family, hmm?"

When the card had activated, the small child would be accompanied by what appeared to be those who he may or may not have recognized from the past. The typical structure of a family, ranging from mother to sibling, seemed to stand with him. The father figure, rather identical to the child and thus giving off the sense of truly being his father, placed a hand on his shoulder. They, too, could not see what was around them. And unbeknownst to Umei, the "Frost Kage" would activate a single card that he had placed in the midst of the fray. A loud roar could be heard emerging from the distance. But without the woman answering his question in regards to love, he would not lift the veil just yet.

Was she dodging the question entirely? Narrowed eyes prevailed, and yet the interruption over the intercom would signify that some had already fallen to the Exam's wiles already. The male shook his head, thrusting a hand to the side. "You see, lass? The Chuunins aren't for everyone. One of your own participants is dead, and another has forfeit all right to be here. I warn you now - if you continue, you may join their ranks. But if you quit now, I won't hold it against you. The stubborn type usually stay.....so I won't linger long on the opportunity I give you."

He rubbed his chin, wondering just where the Genin's mind rested. Umei had done well thus far. A few scrapes, but no worse for the trouble that awaited her in the future. "I ask again - what is love? I won't ask a third time.." he muttered. The roar was beginning to grow closer. If Umei was planning on delaying the inevitable, then she would have to suffer the consequences and watch the boy and his family be given the reaping of what she had sewn. He hoped that she wouldn't be that naive.

....But sometimes, Genin couldn't help but to be.

[Fui]

"Family, hmm?"


Those few syllables would annoy Umei more than he could realize, with a scrunching of her fist she slammed her hand down ahead of her. Yes Family! a vein in her temples would twitch and pulse momentarily as her blood pressure rose and returned to normal. The return to normal would only occur when a family would appear around the young boy, it was at the same time as this that a through the speakers a loud noise would emerge.

Closing one eye to the color blast Mei would shake her head a little... as the noise and color faded away the man would put forward a question. A question which she would take a moment to think about.

"You see, lass? The Chuunins aren't for everyone. One of your own participants is dead, and another has forfeit all right to be here. I warn you now - if you continue, you may join their ranks. But if you quit now, I won't hold it against you. The stubborn type usually stay.....so I won't linger long on the opportunity I give you."

Putting a hand into her butt bag she would feel the small disk and the cube. Neither are from my village but it is still sad, although I shall stay, not for me but for the lady kagé. She went out of her way to equip the villagers before we departed for these exams. She removed her hand from the items in her back pocket. As for your question of love 'Lord Kagé ... I honestly do not know. Love is a differnt feeling for everyone. In my case it is finding a place where you are accepted and belong.. that normally would mean family.

Mei looked down at her cards, they hadn't changed nor had the so called kagé said anything about them. With the family around the boy Umei looked upon the cards placing down the one of power. As I said earlier... Family gives power and now the family with be given power too. Mei's mind rushed a little as she wondered if she made the right move but she made sure that neither her face or body gave away these thoughts.

[Chuunin Examiner 2]

The Frost Kage was unfazed by the display that Umei showed, instead chuckling to himself as he began to shuffle the cards that he had been dealt. "Love is what will garner the support of the Genin. If you overplay your position, then you will surely fail. If you're about family, then BE about family. There is no in-between. Look at how your tone has changed. Even now, you realize the importance of love and the support of the people around you. It's what a potential Chuunin should have done at the start of this very exam."

This figure was being harsh, but the cold truth of the matter remained. He had purposefully allowed the cards to remain on Umei's side of the field, and she had successfully played the Power card in order to grant the family a boost of chakra and knowledge. As the veil was lifted in response to her statement about love, it was clear that the battlefield was one of what appeared to be a Colosseum. Big enough for the family to maneuver in, the small boy found himself protected against a five-headed dragon. Its majesty was unmistakable. The heads seemed to reflect multiple chakra natures - Oto, Katon, Suiton, Raiton, and Fuuton.

The body of the dragon easily towered over them. "Say hello to my Five-Headed Dragon. This is the face of those who have always looked down on unique individuals like yourself. You say that family is important. You would believe that love is having acceptance. So what about those that don't love you? Will you usher violence against them that are prejudice? Will you accept the fate and resolve of those who will never accept a roach-oriented lass with a god complex?" He was pushing her buttons, clearly.

Umei's cards would vanish, and from her side of the Tower Station another set would arrive. Allowed to draw as many as necessary, every card held an Alignment ranging from Chaotic Good to Chaotic Evil. "Equip the mother, father, and your choice of a brother or sister. But I warn you - do not be biased. Every alignment has its positive. But every alignment also has its negative. This is the test of a Chuunin in regards to his or her Genin. We will proceed once you are done."

With that, the Frost Kage folded his arms over his chest and eyed the cards that were still on his side of the field. The Colosseum didn't seem to give any boost to either side of the playing field. The Toon World effect was still in full swing. The dragon, as well as the family, appeared to be animated. It would be interesting and amusing to see what Umei would do with the possibilities.

"Love is what will garner the support of the Genin. If you overplay your position, then you will surely fail. If you're about family, then BE about family. There is no in-between. Look at how your tone has changed. Even now, you realize the importance of love and the support of the people around you. It's what a potential Chuunin should have done at the start of this very exam."

You are right, my tone did change. Family is something very important to me but you are wrong when you say there is no in between. Although family is something of high importance, like oxygen you need moderation. That is why the air id made up of more than just oxygen and why in life you gain friendship. Watching the frost kagé ahead of her Umei could see what looked like an aura of being impressed. Apparently playing the power card was the right thing to do, not only that, she had played it at the perfect time as rising from the ground would be a five headed dragon.

Each head the dragon possessed was different and with a slight bit of thought she guessed each one had a different element. It seems your dragon is missing a natural affinity... there are six basic releases and by the looks of things your dragon is missing a brown or typically Doton related head. Now I cannot say that is for definite but I'm sure that I will find out shortly.

"Say hello to my Five-Headed Dragon. This is the face of those who have always looked down on unique individuals like yourself. You say that family is important. You would believe that love is having acceptance. So what about those that don't love you? Will you usher violence against them that are prejudice? Will you accept the fate and resolve of those who will never accept a roach-oriented lass with a god complex?"

I do not mean to sound arrogant but like I said, Love is complex. I may not be accepted by all but that is their choice in life, the roaches are like family to me and I will protect them. I know they are odd and disliked by many but I wouldn't wish harm on those who disagree as I understand why they are like it. I used to fear roaches until I had nothing else, now I find comfort in them. A single roach climbed out of her crystal hobo coat and onto her face before twitching it's antennae and crawling back down. As for violence, no I would not. If I was forced into a combat situation I wouldn't aim to harm them, but to protect myself is all... as for the god complex which you claim.. think that if you wish but I will do what I can for my village and albeit myself but the village has helped me on many an occasion including saving my life in all reality. Umei could feel her buttons begin to get pushed but she hoped with all she could that her emotions would be controllable.

"Equip the mother, father, and your choice of a brother or sister. But I warn you - do not be biased. Every alignment has its positive. But every alignment also has its negative. This is the test of a Chuunin in regards to his or her Genin. We will proceed once you are done."

Watching as the last card vanished Umei was presented with a line of other cards, each possessing an alignment. After a short think she picked up three cards and put the rest to the side. She would Lay down the 'Chaotic Good' card for the father, Neutral Lawful for the mother and Neutral True for the boys older sister. There you go, I believe that is my turn over.

Always Active:

Ne-tame-kara Jigen (Sound to Sight Dimension)
Rank: C - 10
Skill: Ninjutsu, Supplementary
Effect: Perceives sounds as colors/images
Special: “Hand Seals”
Drawback: Only applies to sounds within the human hearing range.
Description: Through the strange wiring of their blood line the Ranzatsu is able to perceive sounds as colors or images. This in no way affects their ability to hear or be affected by sound their actual hearing is secondary to the sights.
Limit: Must be a Kankaku Ranzatsu

Supplementary Techniques:

SPOILER: Click to show

Earth Mastery
Rank: (B,) A, S
Skill: Passive
Effect: Causes earth based techniques to develop a natural hardness, more so than what the standard ability would allow.
Special: ---
Drawback: This does not negate the natural effects of enemy attacks. Example: While a fire jutsu may not instantly destroy something created, it can still burn it.
Description: Earth Ninjutsu, typically, are based around defense. After much time and dedication, the user understands how to enhance these defensive capabilities even further, hardening their techniques to, at times, and ridiculous strengths. At B-rank, the users techniques harden to the point of iron, and are capable of withstanding a C-rank’s worth of damage before the damage begins to affect the technique. At A-rank, the techniques retain the hardness of steel, capable of withstanding a B-ranks worth of damage. At S-rank, the techniques become as hard as titanium, capable of withstanding an A-ranks worth of damage before they are affected as normal.
Limit: Earth Release. Once the user has gained 500 TP in Doton Ninjutsu, this skill is gained automatically. A rank is gained when 750 TP has been obtained, and S rank when 1000 TP has been gained.

Shōton: Crystallization
Rank: (C, B, A, S) - 20,70,100,120
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.

Blattaria Understanding
Rank: "C" - 30
Skill: Supplementary
Effect: Allows the user to understand, and communicate with the roaches.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The best weapon of the Blattaria is to understand them, to be with them, to move around them, and to be capable of communicate with them. The best weapon, and the first thing one must be capable of doing is to communicate and understand the roaches. This technique allows them to understand and communicate with Roaches of all kinds, from all around. This could be used in order to help the user to gather types of information that a roach may know, as well as to understand the habits of the Roach. In order to control and go into the other techniques the user must know this technique first.
Limit: Must be part of the Blattaria Clan.

[Chuunin Examiner 2]

"Friendship, you say?"

The question was rhetorical, in which the Frost Kage didn't bother to elaborate on the thought. The words of this Genin struck him as inspiring, and yet this battle was far from over. "For the duration of this battle, you will face off against this beast. I have seen enough of your character to wager an outcome that most could not begin to fathom. But for you, the mental aspect is over. Now let's see what you do with this family." Whether it was a relief to Umei or not wasn't the main concern. The cards flashed from her view, replaced by a deck full of possible abilities. It was becoming convincingly clear - he was having the Blattaria woman arm the members. The new cards, as pristine and as clean as any newly touched deck, held multiple clan and blood-related symbols.

"Herein lies the prowess of the Hyuuga, the Nara, the Kaguya, the Toujitakumi, the Kamyuja, and the Ranzatsu. One of them, you should be very familiar with. Equip the three once again. The boy will possess nothing. But I have given him dominion over the power of Lightning. Use it as you will." With that being said, the Frost Kage played his own card. The Toon World card manifested a book that suddenly brought out a pair of twins that stood beside their behemoth of a dragon. The air seemed to get a bit thick with mist as a slow drizzle began. From that point forward, it would be up to Umei to survey and engage the battlefield.

He bowed deeply, folding his arms again. "Your character speaks of love and a sense of adaptation. Let us see if your skill in leadership shows the same. Remember - sacrifice is subjective." He settled back and allowed the festivities begin. The dragon began to stalk toward the family almost immediately, each of the heads beginning to charge their own attack but holding them for contingency. A village depended heavily on the joints of the body of the village. If one arm couldn't provide the support, then how could the other? If the eyes could not see, how could the mind paint the picture while lacking?

The time for words was over. Philosophies and opinions aside, it was the test of men to prove their mettle under pressure. If the Blattaria woman broke beneath this one, she would find that Chuunin was surely not for her. "Good luck, lass."

[Fui]

Yes Friendship Her tone had lightened just a little in response.

"For the duration of this battle, you will face off against this beast. I have seen enough of your character to wager an outcome that most could not begin to fathom. But for you, the mental aspect is over. Now let's see what you do with this family."

I must say, I am curious to what you think the outcome shall be. I will not lie the exams do un nerve me a little but it is the control of these which will prove not just to the examiners or my kagé if I can be chuunin but to myself also.

"Herein lies the prowess of the Hyuuga, the Nara, the Kaguya, the Toujitakumi, the Kamyuja, and the Ranzatsu. One of them, you should be very familiar with. Equip the three once again. The boy will possess nothing. But I have given him dominion over the power of Lightning. Use it as you will."

With a gentle smile she looked down at the fresh pack of cards she received, tapping her chin a little she would pick them up and begin to lay them down. As she gave each person their card(s) she noted the twins who arose form the field. This could be a little difficult....

Without motioning or revealing who is who Umei would lay down the abilities upon each. The daughter would be Nara and Ranzatsu with the same base mutation as herself... sound to sight. While facing an opponent with the sound release this could prove useful. The father she would give Kamyuja and the mother she gifted with the Hyuuga blood line and it's unique fighting style.

Looking up she would watch as the dragon charged an attack but during this she wasn't aware of what the elves weredoing or what they could. So for this she would await for him to make the first attack and then play off the defensive technique of the people she played. From there the offense would begin.

ooc- You didn't state which ranks the family members would be nor their specialisms so I am making the parents: S rank with the father being a tai master and the mother a tai master also. The sister will be A rank nin master. Azur I shall treat how he is in the bio.

Also you didn't state with the jyuuken or not but hyuuga prowess normally would mean it, if not change the hyuuga on the mother to kaguya.

[Chuunin Examiner 2]

The battle would begin, the heads shared the same body but each acted of their own will, contained the individual prowess of a Nin master. The body contained enough chakra to rival a tailed beast and with that, the onslaught of the dragon started without relent.

The first head, sound, released a screech that reached a distance of 60 meters easily, the sound would rattle the bones, vibrate the joints and ligaments painfully, rattle teeth and bring most people to their knees if not prepared. The screech was long and loud, not targeting the hearing of the individuals now under the workings of the contestant.

The next dragon, water, had charged a great attack, releasing a roar that called forth a great torrent of black water, thick and oily as it parted around the great beast as it flowed up from behind. This substance was thick and hard to maneuver in once wet. This substance was highly highly powerful, and as long as the dragon held this roar, the torrent would continue to flow forth. The chakra expenditure would mean nothing to a beast of this magnitude.

Now it would be interesting ,the Fire and Wind, heads conspired together, the wind head opening its mouth to let out what sounded like the whipping howl of a storm, creating a tornado directly in the path of the oil torrent. This tornado would remain active and absorb liquids and debris as potential weapons and elements to add to its chaotic destruction. This means the tornado was absorbing potent amounts of the oil, a steady torrent still going around towards the fighters.

As this tornado birthed itself, the fir head allowed a gout of flame to shoot forth. This, combined with the wind and oil would create a massive flaming tornado. Assuming this was simply uninterrupted, the tornado would fling fire engulfed globs of oil and the like in all direction, a deadly torrent of flaming death that was no easy feat. The two heads seemed to nod towards eachother at the creation of their malice.

Last but not least the last head, lightning, let its roar join the chorus of its brethren, a literally blinding flash of light emitting from its mouth, a strobe like likk effect that harmed the vision of all those opposing the dragon. It would cause blindness, and even after the worn off effects, blurred vision for a short duration. The pulsating light was held for a full round as a cough would bring attention back to the host.

"You are here to be a leader then, go, choose the path you think would best direct your team out of this." He folded his hands patiently and gave a deeply intelligent smile. "Remember, no matter how powerful your team is, strategy will be the only way they live to see another battle. Impress me.

[Fui]

In a fluster of stress from the exam Umei panicked and with the accidental hand seal the tags inside her butt bag would blow. Having the butt bag on the inside of crystal cloak the explosion was focused upon Umei herself.
