Examiner 2- Team 2- Satoru and Kaoru

[Chuunin Examiner]

The letters given to the applicants scattered them, sending the many people to the far corners of the island that is the Land of Moon, although one team just took a short jaunt down the street to the corner.

Still, though, no matter where they were sent, the address always lead to the same building; a short, squat warehouse that seemed constantly out-of-place, no matter where it was. Rusty metal walls with a tin roof left it looking downright rickety, and the interior was no comfort. A double-wide door would grate horrificly on the concrete floor as it was opened, leading into a dimlit interrogation-style room. A waist-high wooden table, lined with scratches and stains, stood imposingly behind two chairs, with a singular chair behind it. The names of the persons belonging to said chairs was etched in the back, and was visible from the doorway. Behind the table, another door could be seen, likely where the leaders of the exams would enter. But- these were the Chuunins. Expect the unexpected.

[/i] like the look of that room. Creepy as, yo. I took on the second half of the doorway with a bit more bravery, actually stepping across the threshold as I opened it, and listened to it groan as well. Was I the only one here? "Hello?" I asked of the rusted walls, and heard only a vague reverberation in reply. That earned a grimace, but I pressed on through anyway, half an eye kept out for traps.

I had my arsenal memorized. Inside my left-hip-residing butt bag (pinned over my big-ass coat) were three fragmentation grenades, two smoke grenades, six kunai, an incendiary grenade, fifteen combat marbles, fifteen explosive pouches and fifteen explosive pouches, also. I was practically a walking bomb with all that shit. Inside my cloak itself was packed a world map, an eight-inch long flashlight (god knows why I kept that measurement in mind) and a prismatic compass. Plate cestus also, kept in my left breast pocket, and my greaves were worn, largely under the cover of my black attire. I really was a walking armory.

Approaching the table and chairs, I realized that my name was etched into the wood. The fuck? I guess these people were pretty well informed as to the participants. Was a little eerie, though. Also fuck if I was sitting down. I glanced back at the doorway, then at the other entrance I'd noticed, and merely opted to grip the backing and wait a while for whatever was meant to happen to happen.[/ul][/justify]

The monk hadn't felt alone in a long time, and it wasn't necessarily a bad feeling but there was no pleasantness in it either. During the earlier preparation in a room before the letters were handed out, he noticed any lack of allied shinobi and instead found himself amongst a pack of strangers. The unfamiliarity made him a little cautious and homesick, though not necessarily worried about it all, it was still a feeling that he would be better prepared without. He had opened the letter moments ago to get location for his next assignment in the exams, and the only reasonable conclusion he could make from their scribblings came in the form of a large warehouse.

A quick inspection of the outside upon arrival showed small in structure, probably deceptively so, with a side of complete destruction. Every part of it looked worn and torn to the finest tooth come that you could fine, bricks and board alike all discolored and poorly shaped considering their intention. It wasn't his place to call it home however, so with little influence on where the next path would be held he was forced to endure the unkind appearance. A large double door had him pause and open before the interior would be exposed. First thing he noticed was another body in the room, though not long before the terrible spine shattering grate across the door alerted everyone in a 10 mile radius that he was there.

"Apologies, had I of known it was that unbearable to witness, I would have simply come through the wall. If they can afford to run the exams then a little grease wouldn't hurt their souls."

Satoru commented, the first of his steps interrupting his speech to make entrance, though hesitant as the woman inside was unknown enemy or ally. A few steps past the threshold he closed the door and waited, arms crossed. What would look to be a glare creased his face temporarily as he stared into the darkness to the other shinobi in the room. Nothing was becoming apparent, especially with such little lighting and awkward conditions to make friends, or foe. Judging that the woman wasn't prepared to make things harder on himself by forcing a battle so early on, the monk made his way forward to stand next to her.

On his way over he had noticed the engraving on the chair before him, the familiar scribble of his own name on the chair. He figured the intention was for them to sit down, although considering the odds that it was good or bad, he decided to stand. That way if they would be punished, it would be together and they could work together to fix the problem. He was prepared to force a relationship between the two of them, regardless of examiners intentions to do otherwise.

"Kaoru, looks like we're here together for now, I hold no ill intent towards you as my only goal is to take the title of Chuunin home. We work together, or we fight and only one of us survives. The second option will leave you tired, exhausted and having fought a battle already under the condition you survive, which may not be the case. The first may grant you success in your ventures and a healthy outcome. The choice is yours."

He gave the ultimatum to her, having grabbed her name from the chair next to his. He was curious to see the impact that the small speech had, but remained ready to respond to violence.

[OOC: Greatest of apologies to both Kaizu-hoe and Examiner for posting late, had some difficulties in life with injuries.]

[/b] I thus responded, but I still somewhat followed his movement. The bulk of my shield was hanging loosely off my arm, but it was still ready to be brought up into a block if need be.

Still, this guy seemed... amiable enough. More willing to trust me than I was him, I judged as he approached. From his rather impressive physique, it seemed that perhaps we shared an aptitude for physical combat, though this could of course be secondary to other abilities of his. Briefly, I glanced at the steel plate over this character's arm; that was the rain village symbol, I knew. I didn't really hold any pride in my place of origin, but my own waterfallian headband gleamed through the raised collar of my coat, regardless, wrapped about my neck as it was.

He did not introduce his name, and for the slightest of moments it confounded me that he knew my name before I remembered the obvious engravings on our respective seats. Right. I stole a glance: Satoru. No last name. Weird. He was a serious character, though; just sorta frowning all the time, and his words carried finality before any sort of we had even begun. No matter; I agreed with him. Straight to the point was also good.

"Well, Satoru, we might as well work together, then." I responded like it was obvious, nodding slightly and giving an equally small smile. Bam, there it was, I think - all that was needed. Forged in the fires of uncertainty and danger was a bond. We had known each other's names before we had even spoken, and that was an odd buff to the whole affair, as though this was the second time we had met.

I couldn't really extend a hand towards him, because giant ass shield, but I hoped that it was not required. I sobered, though, when I looked towards the thus far unused doorway, again. "Against what, though?" I wondered aloud, feeling an odd blend of trepidation, expectancy, hope and... well sadness. I wondered where Isabella was, what she was doing, who she had been paired with (if anyone), and if she was okay. If she was going to be okay... shit, I was rattling myself here. I took a deep, calming breath, which probably looked like it was for me.[/ul][/justify]

[Chuunin Examiner 2]

"Good good the late one arrived. Now you seem familiar with each other"

A voice could be heard from the room. It was a females voice but even if you looked around nobody was there. The lights began to flicker on and off in the room. However when doing so the light would randomly change color. Turning the room pitch black when turned off. Then for a mere second turning on as green then off for a few seconds turning on again as blue. It did this for a wide arrange of colors then stopped. A loud thumping sound could be hard. The sound wasn't a tremor as everything was still. The riveting sound was music. Very industrial music. The lights were out creating a pitch black room then turned on creating the brightest purple light fading back to its normal white glow and the thumping music stopped. Instead now stood a woman at the far end of the room opposite of the door. "Welcome participants, Satoru and Kaoru. I will be you hehehe examiner. I will be giving you a glimpse of Despair, Agony and Misery this exam[/color]'

The woman had a deep but still feminine voice it sounded quite mature but her appearance was anything but. Her attire as consistent of black, purple gray and pink. Having on a very bright punk, goth look. Her hair was a mix of purple and pink. Roping downwards some hair strands were striped how odd. chains and black feathers adorned her costume. Her left hand traced over the wall and ripped the wallpaper off revealing a hidden area in the cemented walls. A deep cubic hole with a single elevator was inside the hidden hole. She pulled it down. "I am known as DJ M1S3RY that's the word misery spelled as M-1-S-3-R-Y[/b]" explaining her name as if they had to acknowledge the fact. After she pulled the lever the room began to rumble and the door began to rise. However one would only realize the door wasn't rising the floor was lowering they were on an elevator.

The woman stared at the two men and smiled."We'll be coming up to Despair Agony and Misery quite soon. Its the name of the dance club you two will hold you're exam in. You can also call it D.A.M Club if you want" pronouncing the abbreviated letters as the word "damn" she then tossed two bracelets towards the participants. they were black with a screen."You must put these on either wrist and then follow me." the rumbling of the room seemed to have stopped and the wall behind her opened up just like elevators. As the doors opened the pounding sensational of music would flood into the room. The music consisted of bouncing beats and a soft scratchy toners.

The elevator doors opened up to a bitch black room. The room was notably very large the size of a warehouse. It wasn't without lights however inside were many strobe lights and glowing sticks rings and other shapes of many colors. Many people could bee seen inside dancing and most of them had some sort of glowing clothe in a varying color or two."You're exam is not on the dance floor. Follow me we will be going to the employees room. Oh watch you're step. One of the ravers is a glowing green bunny. I guess the place is too much to handle and sometimes he craps on the floor. Little guy is a hardcore raver though.[/color]" she would explain as she led them along. She walked along the walls next to the elevator. Not many dancers were near the walls so it would be easy to not lose track of DJ M1S3RY. That and the fact her clothes glowed a soft lavender light in the dark.

She walked up to a door and slid a card on an electronic lock and a door opened. After walking in and looking after the two as if inviting them in. Once the two would the sounds from the outside were lessen tremendously. Inside was light like a normal room but with a slight green tint. There was a large black bar with many alcoholic bottles behind it Five other people were in it. They were all sitting on a large black U-shaped couch. "Have a seat.[/color]" she directed the two exam participants towards the couch with the others."You're first half of this exam is to play a game.....A murder game hehehe.[/color]" she cackled and then looked at the others who all dressed similarly to her in some ways. Then she walked over and handed a paper to both Satoru and Kaoru. "This is a letter I gave to my employees. Reading it will help understand whats going on here.[/color]"


To my grateful employees I am giving anybody 50 Million Ryo if that person can successfully kill another DJ without anybody knowing about it. You cannot kill one of the CE participants sadly. The Job of the CE participants is to investigate any death and pinpoint the correct culprit. Should they win the culprit gets nothing. Should the culprit not be found then they get the money and the CE participants fail. Simple yes? Only one person wins the prize so teaming up isn't going to work. Everybody will then investigate the death then we will all hold a meeting to pinpoint the true culprit. I hope potential killers create a truly insidious plan for this D.A.M Club.

after reading the letter it should be obvious what the participants tasks were. Each of the other five DJ's stood up then held a name card infront of them to Satoru/kaoru to learn their name. Standing before them were Lollipop Tears A very pink and black leather clad girl. DJ Red Wine another girl holding up a card all in black and red. Ironically enough her red clothes to bright to be the color of actual red whine. Dj Cloud Waste a.k.a Snow She had a weird name as if it were meant to be a joke. She wore pretty much all white with partial black. Lastly a pair stood up male and female both wearing all black and bright blue. The male noted for his long attire had his card labeled as Pixie Blud The female wearing the skirt had her name card labeled Cyan compared to the rest of the group DJ Cyan had the most anticlimactic name of them all.


All of the cyber goth DJ's began to leave the room through a hallway. Lastly the purple examiner DJ M1S3RY looked at them." You must be wondering why this is happening. Its simple. Shinobi are at times tasked to investigate certain events. At times it is death investigation. Consider this a glimpse of part of you're career as a shinobi. Now take this map and go explore the rooms. I'm sure by the time you see them all you will have already come across a murder by now." she handed them papers maps then shooed them out of the lounge into the hallway next to the bathrooms. The maps were color coded with an index. The map also included one note. To the participants of the CE Murder Game. No Murder(s) will take place in public areas only in private. Thank you for you're participation. Have a nice trick[/size]


Would the duo stumble upon a murder while exploring their new environment? Did they have the intuitive ability to even solve a murder? Only time could tell.

[/i] were spoken, and I read the letter I was given.

Okay. So death was a thing here.

Wait what the fuck?

I looked back up at all of them, and took a moment to stew in my confusion as I took in their names - right, Lollipop, Wine, Cloud, Pixie (hah) and Cyan. Great.

"Hold a fucking second." I said to misery - aptly named. "You're telling me you're going to let someone die for the sake of this fucking exam...? Who the FUCK is running this?" I accused, appalled. When the bitch started out her sentence with 'you might be wondering' I was expectant, but she didn't answer my fucking question at all. "You didn't answer my fucking question at all." Thus.

Map, whatever. I snatched the paper, hurriedly open it, took one glance, read the wordplay that even I understood was retarded and stood right where the fuck I was, thank you very much.

I stared at the purple bitch, kind of agape. My anger rose. "You're shitting me, right? I'm not going to let these stupid fucks kill themselves and then try to figure out who did it. That's not justice, the first step of justice is fucking prevention anyway, WHAT THE FUCK! YOU WANT ME TO JUST LET THEM KILL ONE ANOTHER? I'LL TELL YOU WHO'S DYING, THE BASTARD WHO SET THIS UP, THIS IS CRIMINAL, AND ALSO, THIS IS STUPID."

I was about two seconds off of the complete rage I knew I could harness to great effect, and this bitch was just begging for said application.

"Fuck you."[/ul][/justify]

(I apologize I did say to go ahead and post but I might not have been clear. I'm sorry for that.)

The lady smiled and giggled. "Truth be told I was honestly thinking of just holding a death match between you two participants. Anyways that's not you're job right now." she said with a smile. She began to walk off into the hallway. "If you want to protect then do it. but I think I can already hear death at somebodies doorstep right now." she cackled as she walked off into the hallway never to be seen again. She obviously wasnt going to put up with the participants anger issues at the moment. She already assigned her something. If she went to work things might come easier for him.

[/i] who died instead - but I had to groan and apply a finger to my temples to fucking contain myself. This bitch hadn't killed anyone yet, I had to remind myself. I wasn't a killer, I had to remind myself. Not worth it; stop being an animal, I had to remind myself.

The snarl my jaw wore was terrifying, but I managed to dim the indignant fire that raged in me, and by the time I looked up she had disappeared to an unknown location, and the murderous DJs were on the prowl - man this situation was ridiculous and shit I'd given them all a head start.

A map, right, there was a map still in my hands. I unwrapped it hastily and peered at its colorful expanse and... wh... the f-... Fuck, best fucking color key ever, who the shit NAMES COLORS IN THE LEGEND. I tried to find 'employee's room' but that wasn't on here... which entrance had we come from? Shiiit. I guessed we were in the VIP lounge, and I also supposed that, since the private area was much larger, the murder would take place there...

Oh wait yeah. The note said so.

If I was reading this right, the most advantageous course of action would be to move through... the casino? Through the set up room and out through the back hallways, and with a staunch set to my face (and honestly walk as well) I would hastily progress towards that direction, moving out onto the grungy, boisterous dance floor and having to pass by what were apparently rock climb walls in order to get to my destination...

All the while, I had to ponder with my primeval brain just what the shit was going to go down here. Would those two blue guys kill one another? They looked like they could have been twins, though that might just have been the overwhelming attires. Ugh. Other than that I knew nothing about these people, there was no judging their character; they'd all been stony-faced in the VIP lounge, giving no hint as to their characteristics...

Ugh.[/ul][/justify]

[Chuunin Examiner 2]

Had Kaoru taken the bracelet the DJ asked the participants earlier to put on she would find it vibrating. The vibrating bracelet would tell her she was going the wrong way. Why would she go out into the dance floor of awesome sick beats towards the casinos? Those are both public areas. Wasn't she already warned the event would take place in private areas. A message on the bracelet notified that it will also act as a key for any electronic locks for private access door. Tick...tock...Kaoru was merely letting the DJ's have more time

SPOILER: Click to show

I'm sorry if the map is confusing. You were indeed in the burgundy VIP Lounge room. The casino is next door to the lounge. It only has one door from the outside though and wont help you access private areas. I thought I would help you a bit direction wise. Use the little squares in the map as place markers for doors. All the DJ's lefts left from the door in the white hallway above the burgundy VIP Lounge. The hallway also being located next to the black box meant to be a bathroom. All hallways on the map are white so you can use that as a guide to figure out the rooms.

YOU CAN however continue you're path on the dancefloor to the restaurant(pink area) on the other side which will again, lead you to private areas.

[Deleted]

[OOC: Right I think I've got a better idea of it now. It was a little confusing at the start...]

[/b] I checked over the map again and found that oh yeah, there were walls there. It was weird because some of the blank spaces were apparently hallways, but it was all a bit confusing, and the thumping in my head didn't help matters - speaking of which, jeez, how long was this one song going to go for?

I had paused in the space between the two large walls, which I had no idea were featured in any sort of rave ever and maybe hadn't been till this place. If I was reading right - and I'm pretty sure I was - the restaurant, while still labeled 'public access', lead into the private area as well, and it was the only entrance to it I could see; thus, on I went, towards it.

My guard was up, of course - any dark figure, illuminated in brief flashes of colour that stepped too close was investigated for two things: firstly, were they a threat, and secondly, were they a member of the party I was meant to be tracking. Ah, fuck, those bastards were going to kill one another if they could. I moved on a little quicker, and flooded through the entrance of the eating area. I took a few steps inside and looked around.

Though I was apparently immune to the death threat, that didn't mean the bastards wouldn't try to incapacitate me in some way. Ugh, this was already way too much of a mind game for me. I was the punch first and ask questions later kinda gal - not that there were many of those gals, I had found - and this was forcing me to ask a lot of questions and do not a lot of punching, though I'm pretty sure I'd be knocking the lights out of any who I caught in the act of murdering an innocent.

Though how innocent could these people be if they were perfectly willing to kill one another for money? Oh god, perhaps I was dealing with psychopaths. Even Cloud seemed pretty repulsive in that kind of light.

Whichever way, those were idle thoughts; as I progressed across the restaurant I would keep my eyes peeled for my, er, friends, and draw as little attention to myself as a six-foot-one woman in a giant ebony coat with hair like the fire of the sun - oh, I liked that - possibly could. I basically kept my manner rather furtive. That's about as good as I had.

Wish I had some ninja tricks and wasn't just a fucking brawler, right about now. But apparently they weren't tailoring these for any sort of niche we wished to fill as shinobi.[/ul][/justify]

The pulsating beat kept going from the song then shifted over to another song that was just as wild as the one before it. The many ravers in the club continued to go wild enjoying the atmosphere that was still set up in the club. As Kaoru walked along some of the ravers invited the participants to join as they continued to dance. Once Kaoru had entered the restaurant a man with a neon green tuxedo and a black gas mask walked up to her."You!!" he called out to the chuunin exam participant."You are wanted in the kitchen.Follow me" he would say before walking off. Judging from his voice it sounded important whatever he wanted.

Originally he was standing behind a podium. That generally was where restaurant hosts worked. Despite his appearance he was still a professional host as he would show the participant the way. Walking in a path away from the restaurant patrons. The restaurant was generally purple all around. Every now and then were huge splotches of bright color. It looked as if somebody just grabbed a bucket of paint and threw it on random areas of the purple restaurant and left it as is. He would finally walk up to a door that says KITCHEN. Sliding a card next to a door lock he would enter inside. Talking to a man who surprisingly whore a normal white chef attire.

After the host said some words he left back to the restaurant. The white clothed Chef however walked to Kaoru."YOU!!! Dont you think I don't know what you're up to!!! Just because you think you're a guest as a exam participant doesn't give you any right to steal from my kitchen!!!" the man was stubbly looking older gentlemen around his 40's maybe. He had no facial hair or any hear actually. He seemed practically bald. His face growing various shades of red and pink from frustration."As soon as you're darn exam started two of my best butcher knives just disappeared from my knife rack!! A DJ came in hear and told me how you're exam started and to watch after you." his voice growing louder and still just as upset. Pointing over to a knife rack on the wall. Many knives were upon it but it had two slots missing. Knife ranks like these usually have knives go in order from smallest to largest. The missing knives were the largest and second largest if you went in size order. Why had the knives gone missing?

The man seemed to grumble to himself. Ranting trying to vent out."I'lm going to have a word to whoever is in charge of you. For now I'm sick at looking at you, Get out of my kitchen!!!" he would say before pushing her out of the kitchen. The door lock would change colors. No matter how many times she would try with her bracelet the door will not re-open for her. She would have to continue moving on elsewhere. Conveniently there was a door that would lead back to private area hallways nearby should she use her bracelet.

[Deleted]

[/i] DJ? I looked pretty pissed, with good reason, I thought. "Oh shut up, I'm not gonna steal anything, dumbass. You're saying I'm not allowed in here after being invited, but some other bitch is just allowed to take your fucking cooking utensils and walk away without a hassle?"

The dude had the audacity to move in on me, and attempt to push me out the door, but with my giant ass shield I'd block him and assume my bear stance to prevent him from shunting me any further, grunting in irritation. "Oi, fuckface, just hold on a fucking second! Who was it that took the knives, like which one, what'd they look like. They're gonna hurt someone, and I need to know!" I turned my accusing eyes sideways at the green-clad dude as well. "So much for being wanted, douchebag."

There was like no way some portly chef could move me without my consent.[/ul][/justify]

Drawback: Shields used with this technique will still be damaged according to item breaking laws if the attack being defended is higher than the user’s knowledge of this technique. Less effective against non-impact based Ninjutsu. May be bypassed by all-encompassing area-of-effect attacks.
Description: With training and raw physical strength the user learns the basic principle of how to block attacks with their shield. Standing steadfast, the user will simply place their shield between themselves and the threat, nullifying it with forward fortification and, if executed properly, stopping the attack’s power. The user is only able to remain on their feet and have their shield undamaged by attacks of equal or lower rank to the rank of this technique the user possesses.
Limit: “Bear Claw Stance”.[/spoiler]

The chef was even more angry that his attempt to push the participant out hadn't worked. His face was even more red than before."You annoying pest!" he scowled at her. Was there even a limit to how much more red his face can become? It didn't seem like it."The DJ's are respectable figures in here. They would never stoop low to such an act unlike you, a shinobi." his eyes more bloodshot before until the man suddenly collapsed on the floor. The man from before with the green suit walking back."Sorry about that. The chief Chef has anger issues. Whenever he blows his top. This happens. We cant help you any further. The other chefs are too busy and will probably refuse to talk to you. You best get going on you're exam." the cyber goth host said.

A giggle coming out laughing at the whole scene. The giggling continued as if finding this some sort of prepared comedy. A shadow of a figure could be seen from the other private access door which was slightly askew. Only a shadowy figure of a head, white eyes could be seen peering through watching them all. With another giggle the door shut.

[/b] I declared the situation, moments before frustration overtook me and my empty fist was slammed into the rear of my shield; though it hardly hurt, the reverberation was something to behold, and it probably rung all throughout the kitchens.

There was no time for fucking around here. I had to keep moving.

I pretty much disregarded the annoying green-clad dude, and talked back out of the kitchens. "Yeah," I said to him. "I suppose you're too useless to have noticed anyone going through here as well." I rounded on him, and there was steel in my green eyes; I considered hitting him, but that probably would not have accomplished anything. "FUCK." I decided to settle upon yelling, my empty hand instead going to my head and running through my hair.

It was then that a sound was heard, above the muffled music and patrons of the restaurant; as I glanced around frantically, I pinpointed the source as being from a slightly ajar door. Was that an eye visible, through there?

No letting bitches escape this time around.

Fortunately, I had a clear path to the door (fuck gas mask guy, he was obviously useless and could go fuck himself behind his podium). Without even thinking, I instantly let my inner energies surge through my body - akin to chakra but rawer, more easy for my primitive ability to harness - and warped over to the target location, ten meters across the open floor, smashing the door aside with the heaviness of my shield - if it broke off its hinges I wouldn't have cared.

Like, fuck, seriously, I was annoyed. Fuck this whole scenario.

Whoever was behind the door, I'd make a grab for them, and at that point in time my eyes were not friendly to say the least. If I managed to snare them I'd then lift them off the ground as much as I could with the burden of my tower shield and probably end up interrogating them.

If through some miracle they were faster than me, I suppose I'd have to settle for looking around for signs of anything to pursue. [/ul][/justify]

Heightened Perception
Rank: "C", "B

[/u]", "A", "S"
Skill: Supplementary
Effect: By analyzing and keeping an eye on the opponent's shoulder and foot work the user is able to predict movements and grab a feel of when attacks are going to come by making the Boxer a more proficient fighter.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user is only capable of predicting movements’ one rank below then what they have learned. The user is only capable of predicting movements that are TaiJutsu Based. Any other type of movements cannot be predicted.
Description: The way this technique works is that the user observes certain points of areas of the opponent's body such as the shoulders, thighs, and hips. Since attacks are focused on these points they are capable of making educational guesses towards points of contact that may occur within these certain points. This type of technique is a study where the user is capable of watching an opponent's movements for a brief moment of time predicting TaiJutsu techniques. When the user first learns this technique they are capable of predicting techniques of "D" Rank capability. When the user learns the "B" Rank version of this technique they are only capable of predicting techniques of "C" Rank capability. When the user learns the "A" Rank version of this technique they are only capable of predicting techniques of "B" Rank capability. When the user learns the "S" Rank version of this technique they are only capable of predicting techniques of "A" Rank capability.
Limit: Must learn in a gym that teaches Bokushingu (Boxing), Must know all Basics

Rank: "D", "C", "B[/u]", "A", "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: The brawler depending on the rank of the technique the user is capable of reacting through subconscious mind against attacks against the user in different manners such as being flanked, and from behind. This technique makes the brawler incapable of being surprise attacked.
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: A technique where the subconscious mind, where the subconscious body reacts just as they are attacked while flanked or while their back is turn. The body reacts in such a way to where they are capable of withstanding so much. This technique makes it where the Brawler is incapable of being surprised attacked, a sudden second sense kicks in as their body screams out to them yelling at them telling them to move, duck, dodge or anything else within that manner. If an opponent comes to a Brawler at a bar, and attacks with a sword, or a club, the brawler gains the urge to dodge to the left, or to the right, where they are capable of reacting before the action is completed. 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.

This participant was quite rather unruly. It was bewildering how such a person would be in such a thing such as a shinobi organization that modern times called a hidden village Basically treating the people in this club worthless even though they were only simple non ninjas. She went over to smash open the door however she would find some restraint in doing so. Her shield would not come into contact with the door whatsoever. A large crashing sound could be heard. Her shield would only come into contact with some sort of glass like structure that suddenly grew on the door. It wasn't glass but crystal.

The door was covered in bright green crystal. The gas masked host laughed as he could be seen holding a hand sign."No damaging property please." he could be heard. The crystal then began to disburse and turn into a powdery substance. The door opening by itself. Perhaps the force of the door caused it to open up. Either way the door was open for her.

The masked host was obviously messing with her. He didn't stick around either. He skipped back to his podium. Frolicking through to restaurant to get back to his station after teasing the lowly participant.

He wasn't were Kaoru should pay attention though. It was the giggling person still laughing at her. Should she follow the sound she would find herself in a entirely white hallway. On each of the corners of the hallways were small video cameras. Further following the taunting giggling it would turn into a full blown laugh. The laugh was weird. It was hard to tell what gender the laugh belonged to. Thanks to the continued hollow laughing Kaoru was able to follow it should she do so. Footsteps would also be heard clacking in front of the direction where the source of the laughing could be heard. Kaoru would pass a door marked OFFICE but the laughing and footsteps continued.

A slamming noise was randomly made. The laughing and stepping sounds stopped after the slam. If kaoru continued closer to that source She would be directly in front of a door labeled LIBRARY. That slamming sound before could have easily been from a door shutting hard. Was the source of the laugh behind the library door?

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.

[OOC: because it's physically possible by all defined site limits to perform S rank seals in the time it takes to perform a shunshin.

what is tuxedo guy? the second coming of jesus?]

[/i]. As I failed to push through the construct, the door was not that only thing that was now jarred; a shock of pain raced up my arm. I bit down on the momentary agony, and heard gas mask guy's voice come through the distorting filter of his headgear. "No damaging property please." He said, as though he wasn't being a frustrating shithead. The animal that showed in my face as I half turned on him almost elected to shunshin after him and slam his fucking black-clad head down into the floor with enough force to pulp his brain into a convenient FUCKING smoothie, but I contented myself to seethe and watch his gay fucking ass gallivant back to his fucking podium.

"PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO KILL EACH OTHER, YOU BASTARD. FUCK YOUR PROPERTY." I would yell.

ARGH.

'Stupid detective shit.' I thought angrily as the reinforcement to the door promptly crumbled to dust. 'What the fuck am I doing wrong here? None of these people are helping me. It's like they want these people to kill each other,' Then, on a more desperate note as I opened the door with my empty hand, 'Oh god, I don't want people to die. Fuck fuck FUCK!'

In the stark white hallway beyond - again, kinda refreshing, but appreciated little right about now - the laughter continued. Initially I had thought it sounded feminine, but now I wasn't allowed to be sure. I'd never heard quite such an androgynous sound, which prevented me from eliminating even one possibility. Black coat against white walls, I stalked down the corridor, not nearly so amused as whoever the shit was laughing FUCK IT WAS LOUD WHERE WAS IT COMING FROM.

I followed it, naturally, for something told me there was nothing else worth doing. How could I hear footsteps, but see no person? I started into a jog; then a run, rounding a couple of corners, but when the noise was cut off by an abrupt slam I found no evidence of anything except a door directly in front of me.

'Library' huh. I didn't think any of the people here would be that much into reading.

Regardless, I pushed the door open, hoping no sudden walls of crystal would be sprouting the fuck up again.[/ul][/justify]

[Chuunin Examiner 2]

As Kaoru opened the door it began to make a creaking sound in the door hinges. It was a rather uncomfortable sound to hear. The room inside has a very antique feel about it. Brown walls, dull blue carpet and that unforgettable old book smell. It appeared to be just an average library. Dozens of book cases lined with shelves of books stood up. It seemed as if these large ten foot book cases were waiting to play domino's with them based on how they stood. However several key things made the library out of place.

Torn pages of books were scattered on the floor in a eight foot radius. You can the many papers were book pages because several book spines laid on the. While not all book spines had visible detail you could some open with the insides ripped out. What a sad sight.Something stole the spotlight away from the pages.

It was DJ Cyan, she was there as well in the library. She however was laid on top pf the many papers and a red puddle. She seemed soaked red. Her face held a cold expression Facing the nearest book case. The case was right next her. Its wooden finish standing only about three inches away from her head.

Her right hand was stretched outwards and on top of the bottom most shelf of the book case. While many books were lined up in this and the many other library book case shelves. Aside three books the bottom most shelf were her arm was outstretched was nearly. Perhaps those missing books were the source of the paper mess. Furthermore the bottom shelf was covered in tiny paper shreds not pages like the ones on the floor.

Her lifeless hand was smooth and clean but the tips all her fingers were red. Her hand was on top of an open book that said “l0l”. It was sloppily written at that. The last two things were that the red puddle beneath her was larger around her waist trailing slightly towards the case where her arm and head was facing. The last detail was a knife that was laying on top of damp red soaked papers.

Nothing else was there. Oh yes! Kaoru was chasing the source of running patterns and a laugh. Should she look around nobody but herself and the lifeless DJ would be found...How did things turn out like this?

[OOC: ...Well I sure haven't had fun yet, lol.

Also if you want to make me 'pay attention to detail' please ensure your grammar and spelling is proper. It's hard enough to read without 'paying attention to detail'.]

[/i] at the woman's body.

...Really? I'd failed? I'd let someone die so easily?

Oh yeah (I thought, clenching my jaw tight in anger), that wasn't the term for exam failure; no, but it was the term for my own failure. "FUCK!" I yelled at the soundless space, before marching forward to the DJ's dead body with a resolve forged of fury.

I stopped just short of her body and knelt down. The edge of the blood pool almost touched the drape of my black cloak. I probably looked like a little girl, to be honest; fright had quaked my green eyes, and as one hand hovered over her form my mind produced the most terrible thing - the day when my mother had been found on the kitchen floor, bleeding out in just the same way and I -

I was almost brought to tears, but I steeled myself with one hand to the brow, and banished the image completely.

...Hold on... how had she bled so completely so quickly?

From what I observed, the pool of blood was still... how could she have died so long ago? The murder weapon was clearly visible atop the pages, but I'd leave that for a bit. It looked like she'd been stabbed in the hip... oh god, I was going to have to roll her over and shit FUCK. Okay, okay.

"It's okay. You can do this." I whispered to myself. Fucking christ though, how many Genin, experienced or no, could maintain resolve when faced with a fucking dead body? Most were way younger than me. Fucking shit. I shuddered another breath, the initial panic slowly dying.

She was lying upon the pages of books, I noted; they likely sourced from the gap where her arm lay. Her fingers were red, but I thought it likely she had clutched her wound in her dying moments... though, as I tentatively reached forward and turned her palm over - taking note of the temperature (perhaps I could discern if this death was recent or not) - I noticed that it was strangely absent from the taint...

I was too forcibly deadened to frown, but I would have. It wasn't that I feared for my own life - nah, not at all. I just felt so terrible inside, like a giant void was going to swallow me whole.

Kaoru Takeuchi, talent number one - losing people. Not that I had given a shit about this girl but... I mean, out of common empathy, yeah I had! Wait a second...

My head turned towards the knife. I picked it up and held it between my hands, trying to compare if the handle thickness matched the vacant slots from the chef's kitchen... but that was only a secondary objective as I pondered other matters.

DJ Cyan... had moved in tandem with that one guy - Pixie something, and I mean they'd just looked like a pair - maybe a couple? I don't fucking know. Point was: Two knives had been missing, and yet here was one... I looked up and around the cruel, void-like silence of the room. Unless the killer had packed two knives by themselves, then it was most likely the duo that had looted the kitchen... Bah, but hadn't that fucking chef dude noted 'DJ' singular? Unless one of them had claimed the two knives and then taken the other to their friend...

It was unlikely, I guessed, but...

If Pixie had not betrayed Cyan here... then where the fuck was he?

Sighing, I tossed the knife back to the ground, and gulped before tentatively easing Cyan up onto her side and looked for the stab wound - if I found it I'd probably be able to maintain eye contact for like two seconds before I dropped her.

FUUUUCK.

Why did it have to be a stabbing? Mum had died from stabbing herself. Like really? Fuck.

I stood up and brushed myself off superficially, though the security of some cleansing practice was a much-needed one. I took one last moment to grimace painfully down at Cyan's body before I had to turn away.

Fuck my life.[/ul][/justify]

[Chuunin Examiner 2]

(Well I see you will have no problems with that then. I do apologize for lateness)

Kaoru seemed to be having a hard time dealing with the fact somebody had died while she was busy elsewhere. Was she unable to cope handling a corpse? Kaoru seemed that she needed to press on attempting to gauge her the Dj's body temperature. However the moment she touched the body something weird could be immediately felt. A very cold feeling something far much more colder than a corpse would ever be. Upon inspection she would see small patches of ice around her arms and generally her skin everywhere? Why was this here? You can tell more ice should've been there as he seemed to be a bit wet as well. Perhaps melted ice? Why was she like this? As for her temperature ti was cold as the ice was disguising her real temperature at the moment. It would be impossible to tell her real temperature at the moment.

While her fingertips were red over the book with a red writing the rest of her hand was notably clean. Nothing unusual there. The moment kaoru picked up the knife it would be noted as an oddity. Only one side of the knife was covered in blood. The side that was on top of the red puddle. The other side was clean as a knife could get. From inspecting the wound it would be as what would would expect a stab wound, red liquid some dried blood. Above the stab mark was a weird pattern on her skin. It looked like the letter "Y". A tattoo perhaps? No it looked too natural to be a tattoo. A birthmark perhaps?

A light pattern of footsteps could be heard outside the library as the participant left the door open. "Whats with the shouting?" a question would be heard in response to Kaoru's very expletive yelling. It was DJ Lollipop Tears. Her face changed as soon as she saw the body of DJ cyan. Grabbing out a little device and pressing a button talking into the device. Her voice could be overheard somewhere in the ceiling? An announcement system? "Attention a body has been found. All available DJ's report to the library" she said finishing up. "It sure is a mess in here. I wonder if it was from a fight. It's a shame but everybody needs to do an investigation. I want to investigate but I will wait outside for the others to come." the pink DJ stated looking outside checking both sides of the hallway. Looking back to DJ Cyan, Kaoru and looking around the library stopping at a certain object. "Hey do you think the video camera feed from the office will show us what happened?" she asked as her face was fixated on the camera up upon the ceiling. Just like the hallways and every other room a camera was always watching. Realizing she made a mistake of some sorts."Oh crap my only investigation lead and I spilled it. Forget I said that." she said kind of clumsily and ditzy like.

[Deleted]

[/i].

Someone was trying to trick me, and they were trying to be very crafty about it.

I pinched the bridge of my nose and thought back to Cyan's waist; she had been stabbed, though - clearly! That had been a stab wound. Unless this was some sort of genjutsu - which I would have no fucking clue how to dispel, honestly (this was not my department) - in which case perhaps the whole thing was a ruse. Perhaps Cyan wasn't dead; perhaps the body itself was illusory. Perhaps I wasn't even in a library. Once you added the possibility of altered reality you weren't really gonna get anywhere.

Fucking loved that I had no genjutsu dispelling ability right now, though. Not even like, Academy-level standard. Woo, look at how far my fists are getting me now.

Okay, concentrate, Kaoru. There had also been that marking, like a Y - it looked a bit like a birthmark, but could it have been, like... frost-burn?

DJ Snow.

The name occurred to me, and my eyes flashed open. Okay, so maybe the mildly attractive bitch just liked wearing white clothing and calling herself Snow 'cuz of that, but I was fairly sure that these people would have the tendency to name themselves rather unsubtly. Did she have some proficiency with ice ninjutsu? It was the only connection I could thus far make...

...Still... just suspicions!

A couple of centering breaths were taken, though they were rather uncomfortable nonetheless. A dead body lay behind me, and that thought would not allow me to unclench my jaw. My arms were crossed; my foot tapped a steady but agitated cadence upon the hard floor. Okay, probably gonna have to study her body aga-

Okay, footsteps. Those were footsteps. I was already facing the doorway, and that was where the sound was coming from. Instinctively, my hands came up in a wary guard. Miss... err, Lollipop came rushing through the open door, and I snarled at the sight of one of the participants of this fucked up game. She could easily be the killer, and that chance alone made me want to fucking punch her skull in.

But, miraculously, I didn't. Even after, "Whats with the shouting?" Ohio, much face punching want. I didn't even speak, I just let her see it, and she did, and she didn't even look surprised or scared, just sorta radioed everyone and let that be that. She did give something away, though.

"Hey do you think the video camera feed from the office will show us what happened?" Good idea. "Oh crap my only investigation lead and I spilled it. Forget I said that." I knew I would have ordinarily found her clumsiness kinda adorable but FUCK ALL THESE PEOPLE RIGHT NOW.

It took me a while to decide what I was going to say first. I wanted to yell at her, because a person had died and she didn't seem to care at all. "You don't care at all." Was what I said, in the end, and my voice was an insidious whisper with a disgusted look in tandem. Office was red, right? Adjacent to here, I seemed to recall. Without another word, I barged past her, out the door and off in that direction, taking no bullshit from her plead to forget that little clue.

I was going to catch this killer. Not for my title - oh yeah, I had that chuunin title to earn... I'd forgotten - but because they, you know, killed a person.

I couldn't help thinking, 'What if it was Isabella?' And I just... I couldn't. If I let that flame of a thought sit in my soul for too long it would ignite a fire strong enough to burn down this whole building. By which I mean I would destroy it. With my fists. I would tear all of it the fuck. Down. I could not currently allow that to happen.

At any rate, I stalked down the hallway, consulting my map for the entrance to the 'Office' and hopefully arriving at and thus entering it without difficulty. [/ul][/justify]

Effect: The brawler depending on the rank of the technique the user is capable of reacting through subconscious mind against attacks against the user in different manners such as being flanked, and from behind. This technique makes the brawler incapable of being surprise attacked.
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: A technique where the subconscious mind, where the subconscious body reacts just as they are attacked while flanked or while their back is turn. The body reacts in such a way to where they are capable of withstanding so much. This technique makes it where the Brawler is incapable of being surprised attacked, a sudden second sense kicks in as their body screams out to them yelling at them telling them to move, duck, dodge or anything else within that manner. If an opponent comes to a Brawler at a bar, and attacks with a sword, or a club, the brawler gains the urge to dodge to the left, or to the right, where they are capable of reacting before the action is completed. 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 Brawler[/spoiler]
