Chuunin exams challenge! [P/CE participants only!]

[Solus]

Revelation!

Still side by side both dhows entered an area of the sea that was quite wild. Rapid currents jutted the boats in all directions and they skilfully navigated around the whirlpools which were a defining trait of this area. Slowly a dark outline came in sight beyond the salty spray of the sea. As you neared it the outline slowly became a castle. Since the dhows were sailing north you were approaching the slate grey stone construction from the south. Four towers jutted up towards the sky and you could see the spears of guards move back and forth on top of the walls. It was nothing but a bare island, surrounded on all sides by water on which the fortress had been built, with the waves directly crashing against the walls. In the centre of the side you neared there was a gatehouse, but the docks at its base were destroyed. Instead the south west and south east tower both had a ladder hanging from the wall which you could climb all the way up to a window at the top of the tower. For the first time the two dhows diverted course. Team One would sail for the south west tower and dock below the ladder there, Team Two would do the same thing but then at the south east tower. Without saying so much as a single word the captain of your dhow would signal you to climb the ladder.

When you entered the tower room assigned to you by means of the ladder it would be removed, making it impossible for you to leave, lest you decided to throw yourself out of the window and onto the foamy waves and jet black rocks ten meters below. The tower room was simple, it was circular, ten meters in diameter with a rough plank floor that had seen quite some use in its day and the entire thing was unfurnished. There were two reinforced wooden doors that would allow you access to the walls as indicated by a sign above these doors. A man sized trapdoor was located in the corner the furthest away from the castle interior, with a sign on it that revealed that it was the entrance to the prison. If you were to drop a ball on the floor here it would inevitably roll towards the centre of the room. This was not because the floor was of poor craftsmanship, rather, the carpenter who had installed these planks he must have done a splendid job considering that it was all still in one piece. No, the force that would control your metaphorical force was gravity. Like the heavy weight of a deceased star in space could bend time and space in such a manner that it would draw in the very light through gravity your imaginary ball would be drawn by gravity to the extremely heavy weight. This was not a deceased star however, though some scales might have trouble making the distinction. In the centre of the room sat the largest, most putrid and morbidly obese being you had ever witnessed, every breath of this creature setting endless movements of fat into motion. It was however not your momma, but a princess apparently, judging from the crown on her head and the impeccable state of her clothes. Team One in the south west tower would be staring at a blonde woman clad in pink, whereas Team Two in the South East tower would be looking at a brunette whose blue dress looked as if it was about to snap.

Over a PA in the room, installed in the roof of the room the voice of the examiner would ring. "Welcome to the first, final and only challenge of these Chuunin Exams dear contestants! As you can see your assigned tower contains a whaaaaale of a problem. One very hungry lady. Although there are many rules to this game, this is the essence, once I give the signal to start the clock begins to tick and both teams are to go out into the castle and collect food which can be found anywhere. Collect it, cherish it, nurture the food and then bring it back and cram it all into your princesses mouth. I know that it might sound impossible, but both teams start with a princess of a similar.... Size. However, the team of which the princess has fattened up the most when the time is up and the exams end, wins and earns the right to become Chuunin. On the wall between the two doors there is a sign detailing the exact rules. I highly suggest you familiarize yourself with them before we start unless you want to be constantly sent to the prison for rule breaking. Also remember! If you feel like you are taking too much of a beating, start to feel insecure about it and want a little time out then the safeword is 'teacup'! Remember that people! 'Teacup'! now, please stand by for the start signal..." and with that the PA would fade out.

A swift inspection of the wall would indeed cause you to find the sign the man mentioned on a nice white tile with blue calligraphy on it, usually the kind of tiles that contained grandma's wisdom and were found in bathrooms and toilet stalls. These seemed to be those mysterious rules:

Them Rules:

• The team with the fattest princess (most points of food fed when the Chuunin Exams end) wins and earn the right to become Chuunin.
• In case of a tie the team that has performed the best wins. Not feeding your princess anything before the end of the CE's means automatic failure.
• Each raw ingredient requires 1 slot of inventory space to carry around. Or 1 hand if no space is available.
• Everything will be at the same level, except for the prison which is below the team's respective towers.
  
• NPC's in the castle will turn a blind eye to PC's fighting, they are not being paid enough for that kind of shit.
  
• If you feel like you are going to lose to an opponent the safeword is 'Teacup' to get transported to prison, it is quick but not instant.
• When teleported to prison your equipment and clothes are teleported as well, event food items are dropped for other players to loot. 
  
• Escape from prison equals joining the fray again.
  
• Your own tower is a safe house; Other team cannot enter and is not allowed to attack you there.
  
• No venturing beyond walls, walls end at sea, whirlpools, and storms, make travel there nigh impossible. Straying too far from the castle results in being teleported to prison.

Below it hung a map of the castle, at least you would not be sailing blind here. A small glass window which looked pretty indestructible would allow a view of the castle. It was a square thing with high walls and four towers. Team one would be in the south west tower and team two in the south east tower according to the description. From the walls it was a mere four meters down to the courtyard which could be accessed from many stairs located almost everywhere. This courtyard was about one hundred fifty meters wide west to east and a hundred meters long from north to south. The west wall harboured a granary building on the south side and a barracks on the north side. The north was was occupied by the kitchen on the west side and a great hall on the east side. The east wall contained a chapel on the north side and stables on the south side. It seemed as if all buildings along the wall were accessible from both the courtyard and the walls. Next to this the map revealed that all buildings were accessible from a neighbouring building. Finally, between the south west tower and the south east tower was the gatehouse. From now on you would only have to wait until the chuunin examiner would deem you ready to start, the doors of the towers were still locked, preventing anyone from starting prematurely so there was nothing to do but wait until everyone had entered properly.

[Father 'Suke]

The rugged sea was merciless along its currents. Ryosuke himself was impressed by the display of strength given by the waters and he himself only smiled when looking among the water and seeing how similar it was to a site of graveyards for ships. The dhows were definitely a good idea when it came to boating along the currents these water’s represented as they held up well, holding an ideal symbolism to the properties that Ryosuke himself only smiled more at being pleased about. Soon though the two dhows were changing course, Ryosuke was watching with his eyes careful and a simple thought to himself paying attention to them when their dhow went towards the southeast tower, a beam of stone jutting out of the waters while the young grass ninja did notice the line of a ladder hosted along the towers hold. It would be along this line that Ryosuke climbed before going into the actual tower.

Ryosuke looked among the room, the way it looked as he also noted two doors leading to some directions with the exception of the prison manhole he noticed as well. However with just another moment he looked to see a very intensely and horrifying display of a woman. A woman in blue with dark brown hair. The body of such a being as this was far too wide of mass for Ryosuke to describe. Nonetheless, he could almost tell that this person held a distinct role in the exams and soon enough he was proven right when the announcer spoke of what they were to be doing. Ryosuke felt an urge to just destroy the PA but calmed himself from such a display of violent behavior. This exam was a test, and frankly, the test to force feed a person was relevant in some ways since later in life you may need to force-feed a starving prisoner of war or something. Ryosuke held a calm thought while looking upon this monstrosity.

The words soaking in how the Chuunin exams were so different truly made Ryosuke realize that the exams were not always about fighting. That much could hold a sign of relief for the genin of grass. His eyes on the rules, memorizing them to the best of his ability. Clothed in the same clothing as on the boat, the shihakushō and hakama pants, and armed with only weapon known as a kodachi along the small of his back, he looked along the walls, the two doors ahead while soon memorizing the map as well that held the examiner borders all along the great place he had access to. His eyes looking at the map and the details it brought also allowed a respectable vestige to what he could perform. He had no gear to allow him access to carry a number of items; rather he could only carry things one at a time in each hand, unless he got clever. For now he watched, listened, and waited for those doors to open and the exam to start for all of them to appropriately find to the excitement allowable to them.

Upon the arrival of his two teammates, and hopefully they would arrive before the chimes for the exam started. “I might drag the two of you down; I don’t have any place to carry food except for my palms here.” It was a sad admittance, but it didn’t sound like one of defeat but rather one of which he could only perform so much in the time he held for himself. His eyes looking around from them to the door and back to them. The roundabout sways of his eyes as just a precaution to when that bell rang for the chuunin exams to start. It was definitely an interesting match already, but Ryosuke already figured that the numbers meant little when it came to what a person could or could not do in the performance of everything around them, as it would seem.

Kenji’s experience on boats was very limited, he had travelled on the larger scaled boats a few times but they were generally avoided. Fortunately for him he still had all of his weaponry intact, it wasn’t some horrible nightmare in which he was robbed of all his weapon—and believe me he had had that nightmare before he was unable to sleep for days after it. Of course Kenji took on board all of the comments that his fellow team mates made during their journey. He had passed the time by discussing the importance of being polite with LORD Ryosuke. Clearly he hadn’t worked out that Kenji was trying to make his village appear stronger in the face of a rival Kage…

The crossbow rifle was still on his back, along with the enhancements that it possessed—Optima, A stabilizer and sniper kit. The scope was still attached, and still possessed the ten time zoom and camera function. Surprising enough the ammo packets where still equip to the rifle. The magazines still had fifty bolts in each, with ten exploding arrow heads equip in the magazine that was currently loaded into the crossbow, they also all still possessed their razor blade fletchings and mechanical blade tips on the ninety bolts which lacked the exploding tip.

Despite the heat Kenji still wore his skull styled mask, and it still had all of the vision times as well as the ability to detect lies and prevent flash damage. He was sure that the functions—eight times zooming function, thermal imaging, night-vision, X-ray vision, condition viewing, and substance locator—would come in useful once again before the exam was over! Just as he assumed the gas filtration system, lamp and radio would also come in useful.

Ryosuke apparently lacked any holding equipment. What a shame! What a fucking shame! If only he had taken more missions then he would have some cash! Kenji removed the weaponry from his three scroll slot holder— six kunai that had the holder enhancement with sonic emitters installed, which were still prepped for use through the use of a small length of string. Kenji placed the three kunai into a compartment on his belt, and handed the triple scroll holder over to Ryosuke. “Here you go sir, you can use this to hold some food.”

Ironically the light weight cloak that Kenji had been wearing saved him from the majority of the heat, much like a desert outfit! A quick check revealed that the linings of the cloak still contained all of the weaponry that he had placed in the slots before—two knives, six lightning pouches, and two grenades, [Fragmentation & Smoke], —this meant that he would have a single slot left over for the storage of food should the need arise. His trusty katana remained on his waist. The battle dress Jacket and tactical vest were also still in place allowing him to store even more equipment! For the moment he had: a baseplate compass, six pouches three of which were smoke the others explosive, a disruptor, a glass cutter, and finally a handheld Inspection Tool. All tools that he planned to use in the not too distant future.

You guessed it! He still had his battle dress trousers on, Kenji had considered stripping all of his equipment and items off and throwing them into the ocean but later thought that perhaps this wasn’t the wisest of moves! In the exact same place as before the small boy had eight kunai, four of those kunai had exploding tags attached to them. The mirror had been removed for a short time however, as he thought it wise to check his appearance in it, after all he was soon to appear on the big screen in front of millions of teenaged girls. Yes he could already hear their screams, he was the Kohn Lennon of the ninja world, or at least he was in his head.

As previously mentioned the item count for his belt has increased, by three slots no less. With this development there was only two slots left, the remaining twenty where filled. But with what items you might ask? Fifteen hira-shuriken where stored behind the length of the belt for quick use, five thermal capsules where stored in the specially designed speed loader pouch! But no there was more: A roll of ninja tape, a world map, five small flints & steels, a blood clotting pill, and three soldier pills rounded out the first section of the belt. The newly moved Kunai where stored in the weaponry section of the belt along with: seven senbon, and another fifteen hira-shuriken two of which were tagged, two stunning grenades, and an incendiary grenade were also stored in a compartment. Eighty exploding tags where also stored within the belt, in a separate pouch to the four exploding tags so as to not be confused, and nine pouches (Three flash, three explosive, three smoke).

Jolly gosh what a belt! The buckle itself contained a small camera, for extra batman points. Medical supplies would surely come in use for this task after all they could take damage as they tried to collect the food! Just as well Kenji had packed: three empty fifty millilitre syringes, ten fifty millilitre vials three of which had prince’s feather stored in them, the other seven Amran, all primed and ready to use on the battlefield! Some larger one hundred mill vials where also stored in the belt, with two containing the legendary Saddilia, and the other cinquefoil. Of course what batman could be without his very own grapnel gun, which surprise, surprise hadn’t moved from his waist.

As twenty four hours had yet to pass Kenji didn’t yet have to study the miracles and mysteries to renew his divine blessing, no he was still blessed with an uncanny amount of luck, so much so that people were starting to call him Joey Wheeler! The Grimoires that he had in his possession also increased his genjutsu resistance, making him practically immune to all of its effects. Of course his animals followed him off the boat onto the dry land— two large snakes, giant eagle, and large grass hopper. He cared little for the fact that the ladder was removed. He wasn’t here to mess around and run off. No Kenji was ready to rock and roll, still covered in a variety of pieces of equipment which were formed from his 3,600 sheets of paper, such as gloves, socks.

Perhaps one of the more notable things about Kenji’s weaponry was how he had updated some of it from the previous exam in the land of Moon, although he still wore no metal at all, some of his newer pieces were milled from FR-4, a form of laminate that had practically replaced the older G-ten that the rest of his weaponry was milled from. As a result of this he was unaffected by rust, and possessed no magnetic signature! Kenji had seen enough X-Men movies to know that carrying a ton of metal wasn’t a good idea, besides it would set off all the alarms on a metal detector or alert anyone possessing the magnetic bloodline to his presence. It went without saying that everything in the castle, from the map and speech to the morbidity obese woman were stored within Kenji’s mind.

In preparation to the up and coming battle Kenji formed several paper clones, six (6) to be exact. This consumed six hundred sheets of paper exactly. Leaving him with a total of three thousand covering his body. This was pretty much the extent to his preparation, he optimistically looked through the window for his prey. If he was able to spot them with his eagle like observation he would simply study their movements, figuring out the flaws of their body. He would also attempt to hear their movements using his amazing hearing [Pervasive Hearing], using this in combination to the various vision types he possessed to build up an idea of where they were located and where they were moving to.

Kenji’s manner rapidly changed from that of a small child to a killing machine, it was clear that he was no longer to maintain the act of being an innocent young boy, he was in fact a blood crazed murder! Perhaps Ryousuke would have already hear of how he ruthlessly murdered a non-ninja at the village gates little over a month ago. He wanted to tear her flesh from her bones! They were soon to discover why he was considered a possible avatar for Wee Jas the god of death! The clones all reflected this, primed to move out the moment the gate opened in a way that would avoid any congestion.

[Gohan]

For some reason, Hatsu enjoyed this trip more than the last one. At least he knew now that this was the last time he'd have to be on a boat for a while. Before he climbed the ladder, he made sure he had his 2 gauntlets, 2 greaves, gas mask, filter, sniper goggles with a myriad of surveillance optics including x120 zooming, night, thermal, x-ray, condition viewing, substance locator, anti-flash, and lie-detector lenses, 2 blood clot pills, two soldier pills, a circular led flashlight, a dungeoneer's compass, a glass cutter, and a disruptor (mine and sonic). As usual, most of it would be in his utility belt aside from glass cutter, and a soldier pill which would be placed in the BDU trousers.

The one thing that he simply did not like, was how violent the wind was around them. As everyone else began climbing the ladder, Hatsu performed a few handseals and commanded nearly all the wind around the castle to stop moving. That's much better. he thought as he grabbed the nearest rung of the ladder and began climbing.

When he got to the top, the mizukage would wonder why the ladder disappeared.
I can just fly out if needed. Even humans can just walk down the wall. The ladder seems pretty useless to begin with. Humans are so confusing.
He turned his head to listen to the announcement and read the rules as the kusagage moved some of his gear around and gave a slot holder to their other teammate. They had been instructed not to leave the castle, but was the courtyard part of the castle? Was there any way to get to the courtyard in the first place?

As he thought about this, the kusakage formed a myriad of clones out of what seemed to be paper. What once looked to be an innocent boy now looked hell bent on destruction and murder. I sincerely hope he isn't going to do what I think he is.

His other teammate was silent for the most part, maybe he was as nervous as Hatsu was. The wind user felt his eagle clutch his shoulder, almost in a reassuring way. Hatsu gave him a weak smile as he wondered how they were going to get food for their princess.
I hope we aren't going to just be pitted against the other team in combat. If the exams are skill based like I was told they would be, there might be tests to go through to get the food.

Truth be told, Hatsu was a nonviolent type of person who had little to offer offensively. He could do nothing to prepare at the moment except levitate off of the floor and feel his chakra spreading across all the air in and around the castle. Pretty soon the air would become unnaturally still. He wasn't sure how useful his wind abilities would be, but he would have a good hold on the air just in case.

User may choose one of four basic wind patterns to function over the technique's area. Which are
A downdraft blows from the center outward in equal strength in all directions.
An updraft blows from the outer edges in toward the center in equal strength from all directions, veering upward before impinging on the eye in the center.
A rotation causes the winds to circle the center in clockwise or counterclockwise fashion.
A blast simply causes the winds to blow in one direction across the entire area from one side to the other.

he boatride had been quite thrilling yet made Emi question his choice of place to sit. The front was going up and down fast than he could get a grip on and there were constantly water splashing all over him. To make sure that his friend wouldn't fall overboard, Emi tied the chains to the enclosure. The large beast were slipped back and forth and was very frightened of the scenario. But it didn't take very long for them to reach the castle after they had split up with the other boat. It had bothered him that the young boy on the other boat had appeared so professional in comparison to the other in his team. Were their greatest opponent be someone that were even smaller than himself? He bit his lip as they approached the tower appointed to them and caught the ladder with his left hand when the boat was close enough. As he looked up on the climb he started to doubt that his friend would be able to make the climb himself. But Zetsubô backed off a little from the wall before dashing towards it and jumped unto the ladder and started to climb. It looked quite weird as the creature used both its mouth and tail to get further up, but it managed to climb on its own.

Emi smiled as he realized that he would have a great benefit of his mastering of the earth element, the stones would serve him well. So before he climbed the first steps on the ladder, Emi performed a couple of quick seals and put his hands on the wall. He then climbed the ladder with only using his feet while absorbing some of the stone properties with his hands. It required quite a lot of stone, but luckily the entire castle had stone walls, so he didn't even need to absorb basically anything from each one of them, which would allow the wall to remain intact. When they finally had reached the top Emi immediately turned his attention to the giant woman in the center of the room, she was fatter than anyone he had ever seen before. The being wasn't moving other than the breaths, so he doubted she was any kind of hostile creature that they were suppose to kill.

When nothing had happened and he heard that Tarah was nearly as the top, Emi walked back to the ladder and assisted her up with a friendly hand. Since he didn't know if the exam had started or not, Emi performed his concentration seal and opened up his inner eye to look for the opponents. But it seemed like the situation was still calm, but he got a little worried that he was unable to see all of the enemies. Emi walked around in the room and looked for some clues when the announcers voice pierced the silence. He listened carefully to the details and turned his head towards the rule list and map when they were mentioned. Both the map and rules appeared to be quite straight forward.

So we're going to feed that?

He was disgusted by the princess, to him, a person that aimed backwards in the evolution was just pathetic. True happiness were only accomplished by strength.

I do not know what you can do or how strong you are, but I will gather the food closest to the tower and then immediately head for the great hall.

To make sure that he would have so much space as possible in his pockets, Emi started to empty them and used the chain to keep the items in place. He also removed the chains from his friend and instructed the beast to go wild through the right door, while he himself would head through the left one. Emi hoped that Zetsubô would meet less resistance through his door as it was less appealing, at least for the young boy with the sniper in the opponent team. When Emi had put his shurikens, scrolls, blood clot pills, map, compass, lockpicks and chain on the floor and secured that they wouldn't move even if the tower shook, he went to Tarah and reached his balanced crossbow with two lenses and a magazine towards her.

You can borrow this, I haven't learned how to use it properly, and I will most likely fight in melee anyways.

If the girl took it from him, he'd also give her the remaining botls in the quiver, otherwise he'd just put them all at the chain too before dragging out his umbrella. Emi only had his 6 incendiary and 6 lock tags left in his cloak, robe and butt-bag. The quiver had also been emptied, but remained on his back to store some more items. He would be able to gather quite a lot of food before returning to the tower. But he feared that he would get sniped down from the sniper while gathering the food, so he activated his newly gained god-power, he became invisible.It wasn't completely perfect, but it was very hard to detect him unless looking straight towards him or using some kind of sensory ability.

Are you ready for this?

He asked his teammate as he prepared himself to dash out through the left door.

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.

Same no Gishiki (Ritual of the Shark)
Rank: “C” Rank
Effects: Changes the user’s appearance to give them blue skin, gill-like appendages, and access to the ritual’s techniques.
Special: Preparing the Ritual- First, the user must obtain the body of a full-grown shark. The body must be fresh, not more than 3 days IC old. The type of the shark gained will determine the manner in which the user’s facial and bodily features will change. Then, the user must obtain 50 shark incisors, which cannot come from the shark to be used in the ritual. After that, the user must purchase a large bottle of ink from a shop. The user then pricks their finger and adds their blood to the ink. With that done, the user has completed all the preparations for the ritual and must then find a Same Saishi (Shark Priest) to perform the ritual.
Description: Once all the preparations for the ritual have been completed, the user will be asked to sit down by the Same Saishi. The man will then use the ink that has been prepared for him and draw a circle around the person that is ten meters in diameter. The kanji for the four seasons is written at the quarter marks for each circle, with summer at the top (behind the user), spring to the right, winter at the bottom (in front of the user), and autumn on the left. These directions are symbolic, as it represents a turning away from Fire (Summer) and embracing the Water (Winter). From there, the user’s shark is placed directly in front of where they sit, and the user will place the shark incisors in a circle around him. The user is then asked to meditate for one turn, getting lost into a trance. The Same Saishi then performs the handseals of “Rat, Rabbit, Dog, Monkey, Tiger, Snake, Dragon”. Upon the completion of the Dragon seal, the ink circle around the user will burst forth in radiant blue light, and the user will be thrown into an illusionary world.

In this world, they will enter an ocean battleground, where the opponent will be themselves. The difference will be that the person will be fighting themselves as they will become when the ritual is complete, thus they have the shark-like appearance. This self is capable of using any technique that the user has plus any technique from the Clan’s arsenal. This other self is roleplayed by either Lash or a staff member designated by Head Staff if he is not around. Any deathblows landed by the user will simply cause the Shark Self to regenerate. This fight will continue until the person has gained 90 TP. At that point, the user will fall down, exhausted, and a merging of the two aspects will occur. While this is happening within the mind, outside the body of the person and the shark begin to glow a bright blue. When the merging is over, the user will awaken to find that they have gained the qualities of the shark, which has since disappeared. They have less teeth, but are larger and sharper, much more pointed. Their skin tone takes on a blueish tint, and their body expands to gain more muscle.
Drawback: Once the Ritual is gained, the user cannot use or learn techniques from the Fire Release (Katon no Jutsu), Lightning Release (Raiton no Jutsu), or the the Wind Release (Fuuton no Jutsu) (Wind Release (Fuuton no Jutsu) technique for the Hyouton no Jutsu (Ice Release Skill) techniques but may not progress further). This ritual’s strength is such that it takes up all three of the user’s Ritual capabilities. If the user is gaining the ritual after character creation, then it costs 90 TP no matter what rank the user is. This is an increase of price than a regular “C” Rank and meant to be this way, as it represents the filling up of all three ritual spots. Counts as three of the user's starting techniques if taken at character creation.
Placement Requirements: Must have the Water Release (Suiton no Jutsu). Must complete all the required ritual steps. Must be a member of the Hoshigaki Clan.
Cost: The cost of the ritual is free if the user gathers all the materials necessary for the ritual. Specific portions of the ritual must be bought, but the cost of those items is listed above and is not included in this Cost section.

Mizu no Kami (Water God)
Rank: "B" Rank
Skill: Clan Mastery
Effect: Allows the user the ability to perform water based techniques as if their chakra cost was reduced by one rank.
Special: Passive, automatically gained when the user obtains 500 TP within the Hoshigaki Clan.
Drawback: Even though the chakra cost has been reduced, the cost of movements and the time spent performing the techniques remain the same. Defensive techniques that require the user to expend the same amount of chakra in order to block a technique are unaffected by this mastery.
Description: There are few clans out there that can rival the Hoshigaki when it comes to their use of Water-based Ninjutsu. Because of their constant use, individuals of the clan have developed a keen sense of how much chakra is truly necessary to perform the technique and as such may perform water-based ninjutsu as if the chakra cost of the technique were actually one rank lower than the technique's actual cost. However, just because the user can perform the technique for less of a cost doesn't mean that it takes any less time to perform them.
Limit: Requires 500 TP within the Hoshigaki Clan.

Effect: Allows the user to have naturally enhanced eyesight in both the day and the night.
Special: Passive ability that is always active.
Drawback: As with all forms of enhanced senses, they are also more susceptible to their perspective weaknesses.

Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user the capability of switching between the use of gills and lungs.
Special: Ox, Dragon, Monkey, Snake, Tiger
Drawback: If activated above ground, the user is capable of suffocating to death.
Description: Normally, the Hoshigaki's body is set to breath through the lungs, which takes in oxygen from the air and then allows the user to exhale. However, the Hoshigaki's body has a secondary set of breathing tools- gills. By activating this technique, the user becomes capable of switching the manner in which their brain commands the body, moving to use the gills instead of the lungs. In this manner, it is impossible for the Hoshigaki to drown as they are now using gills to breath. To cancel the technique, the user must simply perform the Tiger handseal, ending the effect and transitioning back to the use of the lungs.
Limit: Must have Same no Gishiki.

Limit: Must have Same no Gishiki.

Buttoi Jouhi (Thick Skin)

If there was nothing that has happened, no broken bones within learning other techniques, if the Brawler was never harmed, then this does not occur. This technique only resists to Elemental techniques. If the technique slashes, and pierces it still goes through.
Description: Ever wondered why a man could not drown, or someone being execution by electricity and yet still being alive. This is where this technique comes into play.

Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Fear is not the option. The user pushes themselves past their limitations as they are not afraid no more. They are not afraid of being broken, of being threatened, of others being threatened. They live for the moment as nothing phases them. The Brawler becomes fearless, their moral does not go down. As soon as a user learns this, nothing can stand in their way of objective. If a person is "S" Class, or "D" Class it does not matter to the Brawler, if they feel that they can win, they will push forward without hesitation. Because of this technique, because of the fact that Brawlers become fearless, the effect of Fearful GenJutsus does not work against those of the Brawler class. Reasons why is because how can you place fear upon the fearless.

Sekondo Nen (Second Sense)
Rank: ["D", "C", "B"], "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 proved convenient for the shuriken user, as well, as the weapons could be strung on a string or dowel in the belt for transport, and the hole also had aerodynamic and weighting effects that aided the flight of the blade after it was thrown.

[Nira]

So it was done, the dhows had left the docks, and were now floating side by side towards the location of the exams.

This wasn't a break though, it was time to do a little digging.

As the two boats took off, the soul sisters Tarah and Vi found themselves a wall to sit on and lean against.

The metal was cold, but that sharp temperature wasn't felt. Both girls had on their cloaks. Then again, they didn't need them since the soul technique to keep resistant to the climate was active. The cloaks did guard against the violent seawater that splashed on board, at least. Tarah's cloak was violet, and Vi's cloak was black. Vi wore a separate violet cloak under her black one. Tarah's KMP uniform, stripped of all village and personal identification, clanked against the metal wall. The violet cloaks each had two soldier pills inside them.

They weren't talking to their teammate, not yet. Boating time was an important time for something else.

The soul split had made Vi and Tarah separate entities. It would last for a little less than twenty hours, more than enough time for whatever the exams had to offer, probably. Their minds were fortified with numerous abilities. They could not be touched by fear or intimidation. Extreme heat and cold conditions did nothing to bother them. Their minds were warded in a way that prevented all forms of compulsion and charm enchantments. These protections also lasted between twenty and twenty five hours.

The girls had linked their souls together so that they were able to check on one another's condition for a whole week. That week wouldn't be used, since the soul split itself lasted a limit amount of time.

Tarah and Vi each had their own fancy hat. Tarah wore a black beret, while Vi had a floppy straw sunhat. A three inch version of Vi, a soul sliver, hid inside the beret. Similarly, a three inch version of Tarah hid in the sunhat.

A special mental genjutsu was placed on Tarah and Vi. They gifted themselves with heroism, a power that lasted five hours, boosting their physical and skillful abilities.

The soul split normally divided chakra and soul, and the additional abilities would lower that amount even more. However, the girls had a couple methods to restore their energy pools. A blight siphon on the cruise ship occupants neatly refilled their souls. A special song, the song of mana, allowed them to regenerate all their chakra in several minutes. The song of mana used a bit of chakra, but regenerated chakra over the course of eighteen seconds as long as they kept singing. It didn't work on the singer, so the soul sisters had to use their songs on each other. A fair amount of continuous uses did the trick.

While leaning against the metal wall, and sailing through the stormy waters, Vi activated her soul sight to see souls and auras around her. This was done as a precaution, in case the other team used a similar method of reconnaissance.

Tarah Featherook activated the Soul Scout technique, sending part of her invisible and incorporeal soul out into the world. She used this technique to spy on the opposing team.

The seas were violent, but useless in hindering an untouchable soul. Tarah would have seen into the other ship, and all three of her opponents.

If anyone was a soulcaster capable of seeing souls, they would catch her in the act. Otherwise, she would be completely undisturbed. Given that her soul scouting left no trace, if they weren't paranoid enough to keep soul sight active at all times, even soulcasters would have a hard time catching her at work.

The range of her soul scout was seventy-five meters, which wasn't a problem since the boats were sailing side by side.

Tarah found and identified all three of the opposing team members. With each one, she spend some time inspecting every part of their person. Noting every bit of equipment they had, no matter how trivial. Hidden equipment wouldn't escape her notice, since being incorporeal meant that she could move herself through other solid objects to see what lay beneath. The items had to be literally invisible, like being hidden by genjutsu, to avoid her detection. She also memorized their heights. Two of them were almost equal in height, but one of them was a shorty, standing less than five feet tall. The shorty looked a kid, so he might get a growth spurt down the line. He wasn't to be underestimated either, given the variety of equipment he was carrying. The crossbow rifle being the nicest looking item in particular.

And of course, even though Tarah and Vi looked young, they were over two thousand years old. Age and appearance meant nothing to a person's true powers.

The one with messy yellow hair, who stood at an even six feet, was decked out as well. He had a fair amount of nice equipment. Very nice indeed.

The last one... he didn't have much. Just a blade to his back.

Once done inspecting all the equipment, Tarah switched out her personality. From the depths of her inner being, the Legion personality arose. It was composed of six memory fragments from past lives, which was difficult to fight with. However, that special personality was useful here.

The Phoenix Ouroboros, otherwise known as Phoros, gazed upon the three enemies. She studied them, as the six personality fragments began to discuss their apparent traits. They drew from experiences in their own lifetime, trying to match it up with what they saw now. Each person was observed for a minute, before the information was relayed to Tarah and the personality was switched back.

There wasn't much to do after that, and the boats were slowly splitting apart. They would eventually be too far for the soul scout to operate, so Tarah returned the scouting soul to her body.

After returning, Tarah shook the water that had been slashed on her body. She wiped her two melody gauntlets against her cloak. They weren't glowing right now, but her left one had a shock enhancement and her right one had a cryo enhancement. She also had to wipe water off her sniper mono-goggle, which was strapped over her left eye. It had thermal, x-ray, zoom, and anti-flash lens, but it was currently set to x-ray.

The disruptor in Tarah's right KMP uniform hip pocket was still dry.

Vi pulled out some featureless towels from their small field pack, to help with drying off.

Once the girls were in the tower room, heard all the announcements, and read all the rules, Vi went over to the corner. The two girls activated their Doom Ward techniques, to guard against threats to their lives.

Tarah looked out the tiny tower window, to see what was going on at the enemy tower. She had her mono-goggle's x-ray still active, and used it to observe the enemy's positioning and movement. It would work so long as the enemy tower walls weren't more than two meters thick. At the same time, there was one person observing them. The shorty was looking at them through the other tower window. Tarah waved playfully at him, giggling slightly.

"The little kid with the ranged weapon is looking over at us, watch out for possible sniping." said Tarah. "Me and Vi will be fine, teammate, but watch your back. Vi's gonna come with you to gather food and such. I'll see about hindering our foe. Avoid the courtyard."

Indeed, Tarah couldn't help but think, the courtyard was a bit too open. When given the chance, perhaps it would be wise to obstruct that area completely.

Tarah took the archery weapon and bolts from her teammate, looking at them curiously. "Can't promise I'll use these, but it'll be a good back up."

While Tarah talked, Vi would have used her own soul scout technique. The ancient soul would begin looking around the castle. First, she inspected the prison, to see what that was like. Then she inspected all the walls, to see how thick they were. After that, it was the tower doors. She wanted to know where they led to. If there was an enclosed hallway on the other side, or if it was the top of the castle walls where there was nothing but the floor. She'd also check to see the locations of stairways and other doors. If the exams didn't start yet, she would also have time to head over to the granary building, in order to see what food items were located there.

After waving at the shorty, Tarah took the time to apply some short term enchantments on herself. One to improve her speed, and one to improve her tactical thinking.

Tarah's eyes, augmented with the X-ray of her sniper mono-goggle, remained on the confirmed range user, the shorty.

Vi would apply the same two techniques after scouting out the castle.

Exams are go!

When the incorporeal soul portion realized by Tarah tried to scout the opponents equipment she would find herself betrayed by the conditions. The constant jutting and movement of the ship made it night impossible for the more or less stationary soul scout to properly line up with the men whom she tried to pervert out under their clothes. Yes, pervert out, the examiner is horrified by this act... Beyond what she could see on the exterior of these men she would gain no new information about weapons they carried in pouches, pockets or anything else that obscured them from direct observation. When it came to scouting out abilities the lady would encounter another problem, there was nothing to see. The men were not moving or actually displaying anything that could betray their abilities when sitting motionless on the dhows deck. That would mean she would have to go by minute details in their appearance to discern any signs of abilities. However, this was a process that was once again frustrated by the rocking of the ships, the spray of the sea and the fact that the gents were not very keen on showing you anything. As a result you did not gain any new knowledge.

In the tower the attempt to scout with the soul scout was also thwarted. Every time the soul tried to leave the tower room some kind of mechanism would snap into play, teleporting the soul back into the room without gaining information. The PA would sound again for all to hear. "I told you remain on standby, not to try to have a part of you leave the room. You disappoint me with your failure to follow these incredibly mundane and simple instructions, young lady... Watch out or you'll be going to the naughty corner." How thick the walls exactly were you would never know either, other than that it was at least 2 meters since you could not see through it with your x-ray vision.

It would not be long before everyone had entered the appropriate tower and was ready to start. A drum roll would start to play over the PA, on television they were probably now rolling the direct images from the exams. With a crackle the PA came into action: "Five.... Four... Three... Two... One... Chuunin Exams are go!" With an audible click the tower doors and the trapdoor would open simultaneously as over the PA a familiar energetic song started to play with a lot of trumpets, violins and drums.

Team 1: South West Tower:

The doors swung open, both leading to the walls. You would be able to move directly on top of them, they were plain and there was nothing to shield you from the salty winds blowing over them except for the crenelations on the seaside of the walls. One door opened to the north and you could choose between moving over the wall towards the granary or use a set of stairs that went down the side of the wall onto the courtyard, ending right next to the granary. The second door opened to the east, through which you could proceed to the gatehouse or down a set of stairs along the wall which would bring you down to the courtyard, right next to the granary. The trapdoor too swung open, revealing a simple ladder leading down. From here on out it would be your choice to move where you pleased to go.

[Father 'Suke]

Ryosuke smiled, looking with a confident composure about him as he looked among the walls of the individual building it. Stone, it was perfect for the usefulness of what he had to do, and as previously noted on their arrival most of the castle itself was made of stone. That allowed Ryosuke to play part in one of his more useful standby jutsu, able to use it for the time being with whatever he needed to in the most part. His eyes scanning soon as the announcer spoke out through the PA system, just after Ryosuke had been handed a scroll holster, for which in his normal way he bowed his head in respectable thanks. It was a lone, which much was fairly known and certain for him while he continued to accomplish what he needed to for what could be a possible strategy to use. His eyes on his teammates before the doors swung open, “Time to get to work.”

Ryosuke’s message was spoken within his mind, his hand seals coming up and forming the necessity of them for producing a simple technique. Could be a disgusting one depending on how one views such a skill. Ryosuke’s hands slammed upon the stone ground, just creating a small bed of mud directly in front of him. The mud itself a foot deep while circular by five meters to allow an appropriate field for whatever task may be wanted. This field of mud was still quite within the tower, directly in front of the gorged princess that the crew may need to force feed at some point. Ryosuke smiled, his field of mud done for the most part while eyes looked to his two teammates and tried to figure out what their abilities may be. For the Kusakage, it could probably prove quite useful that Ryosuke made the mud but he did not know to what extent his teammates could utilize it for.

However for him, he could use it for his own wooden techniques, with the mud being a culmination of both water and earth, it allowed a grip for him to use it as a much more stable use. Of course, with the amount available he had plenty for the usage of the following technique to hold the princess down. It disgusted him to do something so cruel but it seemed necessary, as part of the challenge was to force-feed her. Therefore, to actually stimulate his mind he realized that in some circumstances there were times that one must do regrettable things to get the results they want. So therefore, he performed the following hand seals to perform the Binding Pillars technique, which allowed him to create sixteen branches, all possessing a diameter of twelve inches apiece. Given the length of mastery he utilized them in hopes and attempt to tie down the heavyset princess.

The actions would happen quickly and within a mere second and a half to perform such a technique. His eyes gleaming while a frown stayed on his face. With any luck, the princess would be tied down with a large branch circling every ligament, the others making similar medical bed styled bindings directly around her and in hopes of having her horizontal with the mouth pinned in a sideways fashion, to keep the airway clear save for the moments when stuffing her face. Thereby, in hopes all went well Ryosuke’s first step of the team would be complete, and all the wood from these came from the edges of the large mud puddle directly in front of the princess, having the rest of the mud available in a good four and more meters of the unused mud.

Kenji was granted vision of his opponent for quite some time, during the prior round, she must have though the same thing as him? As they both stood at the window on their respective side of the castle. He would have liked to have taken a shot at her, having spent a considerable amount of time thinking about the weaknesses of her small body; however the glass in the window prevented such a course of action. Instead he simply stored the relevant information in his memory palace, perhaps it would come in useful later; he wouldn’t be forgetting her pretty face any time soon.

A myriad of hand seals were performed. Upon completion several sheets of paper left the small boy’s body once again, this time they formed wings on his back. There were of course numerous reasons to do this; not only did the wings increase his agility, but also the amount of movements that he could achieve per a minute.

Kenji’s hands seamlessly danced into another set of seals, this technique utilised his wood natured chakra to summon forth an array of herbs—to be exact the young boy had summoned carrot seeds! Ten of them, these small vegetables sprouted in the mud that his teammate had created. You could be forgiven for thinking ‘Seeds? You must be insane Kenji, they would never grow in time!’ but oh how wrong you would be under normal circumstances the carrots would take a few weeks to grow, but Kenji could utilise another wood technique to rapidly decrease the amount of time it took for each vegetable to become fully grown.

Due to his teammates great foresight the princess was now bound? So there was in theory nothing to prevent the group from simply force feeding her the carrots as they were rapidly produced. By applying a small amount of chakra to each of the ten seeds the growth time was cut down to a few seconds if that. [Kenji continued to produce these fully grown carrots for the remainder of the round.]

Hopefully it went without saying that each carrot should be removed, and fed to the princess by the other group members so that Kenji could maintain this high level of growth. Of course they should leave at least one carrot so that Kenji would be able to feed it to the princess and meet the basic level requirements: ‘Not feeding your princess anything before the end of the CE's means automatic failure.’

As this was the boy effectively immobilised the rest of his party would have to take over his roll of forager for the time being. The makeshift group of animals and clones left the room, with the clones leading in the way in case of traps! Upon making their exit they spread out in an attempt to each take a different path, all of them were in search of food, and thus maximise their chances? What they would do upon finding the food was of debatable at this stage.

Although this technique was proving to provide a constant source of food Kenji would stop after this round. The ninja world was a harsh one, but Kenji felt that you should treat others as you would like to be treat in return. He would have felt fairly cheesed off if he was defeated by his enemy’s knowledge of a somewhat supplementary skill. That and the loving fans were waiting for their bold prince to save the day he couldn’t afford to cower away in his own tower, no the fight had to be taken to the enemy. He wanted to see what exciting things awaited him in the other rooms of the castle!

Hatsu, who guessed that he would have the easiest time finding food in the great hall, figured that he would head there first. “I’m going to head towards the great hall,” the mizukage said as the countdown started. He wasn’t sure why his teammates didn’t look like they were ready to race to the food, but he was going to trust that they knew what they were doing. He, for one, couldn’t think of a single thing he could do by sitting inside the tower, so he dispersed into a rank B wind form. While he certainly had the option of becoming a four meter tall giant, he decided he would stay human sized for the time being.

The wind within and around the castle would have become dead still by this point, since he had spent quite a bit of time spreading his chakra out. As soon as the gate opened, he commanded every bit of air he had control over to rotate violently in a counter clockwise direction. Why? Because he had just flown as fast as he possibly could along the ceiling and out into the courtyard. His own speed coupled with his 30mph winds would surely mean that he was going as fast as he was able to. Assuming everything would have gone according to plan so far, he would be flying some fifteen meters above the ground and would hopefully arrive at great hall’s entrance depending on how far it actually was.

Alpha Eagle would have felt slightly neglected, and in truth, his owner had kind of forgotten about him. The eagle spent a few seconds in the room, but when he saw some bondage shit going on, he decided to just leave. He would circle around the courtyard some 25 meters above ground and let the rotating winds carry him. He spotted his master over by the great hall and would rush to his aid should he need it!

Description: When the user transforms their whole body as well as all items on them (including clothes) they become a vapour, cloud like substance. In this substance they are able to move around but at this moment are unable to fly, since they are still heavier than the air that surrounds them. In order to fly please look at the Wind Walk technique. Depending on the user's knowledge in the technique depends on the strength of the ability. Their cloud like vapour body is connected by a centralized core that cannot be seen by the naked eye within the cloud like vapour. If the core is destroyed the Scirocco will die. The time it takes for a Scirocco to change into a vapour is equal to the amount of time it takes to form the handseals for a jutsu of the same rank as the rank of Wind Form.

They are so light that they no longer leave footsteps behind, no longer imprint snow and can walk over pressure based traps like mines without setting them off. Grass and flowers under the users foot bend and spring up again as if it has been untouched. This is a passive ability that can be invoked and deactivated as the user sees fit.

When learning the B-ranked version of this technique the user will be able to move at full speed whilst in wind form.
Limit: Must be a Scirocco, must know Shunshin.

I already spent the chakra on this jutsu. I'm assuming it doesn't take chakra to modify the winds since it says I just need to concentrate/use time to change winds.

User may create an “eye” of calm air up to 25 feet in diameter at the center of the area if the user desires, and the user may choose to limit the area to any cylindrical area less than their area. User may choose one of four basic wind patterns to function over the technique's area. Which are
A downdraft blows from the center outward in equal strength in all directions.
An updraft blows from the outer edges in toward the center in equal strength from all directions, veering upward before impinging on the eye in the center.
A rotation causes the winds to circle the center in clockwise or counterclockwise fashion.

[~Emi~]

It has begun

W

hile they waited for the countdown to start, Emi jumped a little into the air and stretched his legs to make himself more flexible. As the countdown started, he walked to the side of the door to the north and made himself ready to dash through it as soon as the countdown was finished. The adrenaline was pumping and even though he wasn't tired his heart was beating quickly and his breath was slightly strained. Since he didn't know how it looked on the other side of the door, he prepared himself to lean forward and pick up food right outside the door, but as it swung open and he moved out on the wall, he got a little disappointed. It would be a little more difficult than he had thought.

I'll head directly to the great hall.

Emi exclaimed back to Tarah while running out and performing a stream of seals. It took him about 1.2 seconds before he stopped on the final seal before he released the technique and sunk into the stone-floor. His movement was much faster while traveling through stone, but he didn't want to risk bumping into someone else that were fast, so he maintained focus on the surroundings with his inner eye. Since he still wasn't able to see the last one, he was a little afraid that he was facing another person with god-like abilities.

This will be a little tough.

No one heard it, but he still whispered out of instinct. He traveled over the wall and then down through the stairs. Since he didn't know how fast Tarah would be to attack the courtyard, he made sure to take a detour to not get caught in the crossfire. The opponents didn't appear to immediately move out of their tower, so Emi doubted that he would be pined down when he got up from the ground, but he didn't want to underestimate anyone. When he had reached the great hall, he exited the stone and ascended to his feet. Even though he was in an open field, he doubted that anyone without a special vision would see him, as he still was semi-invisible. He could feel the aura of one of the enemies approaching, so he attempted to open the doors into the great hall and get in. If he was able to get in, he'd place a locking tag on the door to keep the opponents out before looking around in the hall to see what he was able to find.

In the meantime, Zetsubô rushed towards the gatehouse and tackled his way to the stairs. He didn't really know what he was looking for, but he could feel that there would be a lot of fighting soon, and he was longing for some blood. As he reached the stairs, he stopped to smell the air. There were several individuals in the castle, but he didn't know which ones he were allowed to attack. So he dashed down the stairs and looked for anyone that looked either scared or hostile.


Techniques:

SPOILER: Click to show

Doton: Iwagakure no Jutsu (Earth Element: Hiding in Stone Technique)
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user to phase in and out of rock in order to evade attacks or track opponents.
Special: ---
Drawback: Can only be used on stone. Cannot perform handseals or attacks while phasing through stone.
Description: By applying the principles of Underground fish projection, the user is able to quickly sink in and out of stone on a whim, avoiding virtually all damage. By simply focusing doton charka through their body, the user will briefly change the same color as the surrounding rocks before vanishing from sight. As they travel through the ground, no other skills can be performed, but their movement speed is dramatically faster so long as the user stays within stone. This skill is only usable 5 times a day once trained; however, this jutsu can be retrained in order to obtain the ability to add another usage.
Limit: Earth Release. 500 TP in earth release. Underground fish projection.


Zetsubô:

Scent
Rank: ["D", "C", "B"], "A", "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: This extraordinary special quality allows a creature to detect approaching enemies, sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The creature can detect opponents within 10-meters by sense of smell. If the opponent is upwind, the range increases to 20-meters; if downwind, it drops to 5-meters. Strong scents, such as smoke or rotting garbage, can be detected at x2 the ranges noted above. Overpowering scents, such as skunk musk, can be detected at x3 normal range. When a creature detects a scent, the exact location of the source is not revealed—only its presence somewhere within range. The creature can take a movement to note the direction of the scent. Whenever the creature comes within 2-meters of the source, the creature pinpoints the source’s location. When finding Herbs and Animals (random), Scent may improve searching for them. Learning "D" Rank allows the user to search for Common things, while "S" for Nearly Impossible. Each rank user learns increases chance of finding by 2% for the Rank of Herb, and increases per Rank thereafter. Example: At "S" Rank User gains 10% increase chance in finding Common Herbs and Animals but only 2% Increase for Nearly Impossible Herbs and Animals.
Limit: Must be an Animal, Fey, Monster Beast, or Vermin. Innate Animal Jutsu.

Sensai Kaba (Master Bull Rush)
Rank: "C"

Special: ---
Drawback: Must take a running start of ten feet or else the technique does not work.
Description: The user must take the time to make a quick running start of ten feet or else this technique does not work. The user takes the understanding of Bulrush to a newest degree to where whenever they make connect, a rush is more powerful, more dangerous then how most people are capable of using the Bulrush. This technique feels as if the strength of the technique increases depending on the Class level of the user. Whenever the user first learns this as a "D" Class character, the technique feels as if it is a "B" Rank technique. This means that whenever a user bulrushes through a defense, the defense takes the hit as if it is trying to stop a "B" Rank technique. When the user becomes a "C" Class character, the rank of the technique feels that of an "A" Rank technique. Finally when the user reaches "B" Class, the technique feels as if it would be considered as a "S" Rank technique.
Limit: Must be a Brawler

[Nira]

Tarah pouted. "I object to that, director! Standing by does not mean the same as staying inside the room! Even with that, our true physical body still counted as waiting. Nothing you said strictly forbade us to do as we did!"

"Leave it alone, little sis," said Vi. "There's no need to agitate the director. It's only an interpretation conflict. Let's just get ready."

Tarah continued to grumbled in Ignan, the language of fire creatures, but complied and went on to activate her doom ward and two genjutsu boosts. Vi did the same for herself.

Upon hearing the countdown, the soul sisters stationed themselves at different doors. Vi stood near the northern door, while Tarah stood at the eastern door.

---

Such an interesting tune, thought Vi.

Vi Gesic burst from the door. Her teammate used some kind of technique to travel through the castle walls, which was admittedly useful in this situation. Normally, the teammate would probably have traveled further than her with the boost provided by the stone jutsu. Her average speed was somewhere around ten meters a second as a shinobi. Perhaps it was higher as a taijutsu specialist. Regardless, she had a speed booster of her own. Blue flames shot out of Vi's limbs, propelling her forward like a rocket. She made sure to start her jet propulsion jutsu a few meters away from the tower, so that she didn't accidentally cause any structural damage.

Vi only let the blue flames burst from her feet. She didn't use her arms just yet, in case there was anything that needed course adjustment. Her two cloaks flapped against the winds, while her small field pack was strapped to her back. She had removed the wet towels from the pack and left them in the starting room. She needed all the storage space she could get with this objective.

With the boost provided by her flames, Vi would head straight for the kitchen. Arguably the most obvious place to obtain some food. If there were no disturbances or obstacles to prevent her arrival, she would search for the doorway or staircase that led into the kitchen, then enter it and see what food items were in sight.

During her traveling period, it was likely that a fire would break out towards the East. Tarah's handiwork.

Her two cloaks could hold thirty slots worth of food altogether. Her small field pack could hold an additional twenty-three and a half slots. One more slot could be placed in her hat, while she could hold two more with her hands. In total, if there was enough food, she could obtain fifty-six and a half units.

Jetto Suishin (Jet Propulsion)
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: Skilled Hinote-Kobushi users masters are able to conjure huge amounts of flame to propel themselves at high speeds on the ground or through the air.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture With this technique a user is able to take what they learned in Hinote Enmu (Fire Haze) and allow them to propel themselves around freely through the air. The user is also able to propel them along the ground as well when performing. When the user performs this technique, they quickly exhale out as they thrust their arms, or legs, or both out behind him, or the opposite direction of where they want to go. When the user does so the force of the flame propels the user. When opponents are close enough, they can be knocked back by the very technique as well since it is able to lift the user up. User is only able to perform this technique within the time limit of one round per class level before the user has to stop for one round, and continue again.
Limit: Must learn from a master of Enten Kobushi - 炎天 - Scorching Sun Fist. Must have Mastered Hinote-Kobushi.

Tarah Featherook pushed herself out of the eastern door. She could apparently see her enemy from the opposing window, so the gatehouse between their towers must have been low. If it wasn't, then that would be a small issue in the future.

The winds and wet spray were a nuisance, but Tarah's boxing footwork training let her balance well enough. She didn't enhance her speed like Vi, so she just ran forward about twenty meters in a couple seconds. During the last second of her run, she took some time charging up the heat in her body.

While running, Tarah kept towards the left side of her wall. After she finished charging her inner flame, she prepared to fire towards the courtyard below.

However, something caught her eye. To be specific, it was a flying blond man, along with a few duplicates of the short boy. Clearly clones, since they wouldn't show any skeleton in Tarah's x-ray lens. They were out in the open, and also in the way of winning the exams. It would be best to try and eliminate them, kill two birds with one stone. The less hands they had, the better.

Hopefully her teammate did as she asked, and avoided the courtyard.

Instead of shooting her attack near the center of the courtyard, Tarah shot it almost straight across. Her inner flame rushed out into the open air, expanding to a great fireball, ten meters in diameter. It's size had been boosted by Tarah's charging.

The fireball was large, but it was completely invisible. The chemicals that helped produce color, which were normally included in a reaction, were absent for this one. In effect, the ball of flame streaked through without a glow. Those that relied on standard vision would suffer.

Tarah had shot her creation towards the inner castle crenelations on the eastern wall. The exact location was roughly sixty-five meters north of the enemy's tower. She didn't want to accidentally register an attack on her opponent's safe house.

Though there may be some wind disturbance, natural and otherwise, they weren't much of an issue. Tarah's creation was large, powerful, and fast. It likely wouldn't be hindered, unless a full blown attack of an equal scale crashed against it.

Once the invisible ball of flame hit the eastern wall, it would explode into a flood of more invisible flames. The blaze, thanks to the charge beforehand, would expand to a size of a hundred and twenty meters in diameter. Basically, everything within sixty meters of the epicenter, regardless of direction, would be caught in a scorching conflagration that could not be seen.

The flames would stop just before it could reach the opposing team's tower. It would have covered the entire rest of the eastern side. The blaze would also travel down to the courtyard, likely setting fire to anything that could burn.

Anything on the eastern wall, or within sixty meters away from it, would be a target for the unseen power.

After taking care of that, Tarah would jump off the southern wall towards the courtyard. The range of her attack was sixty meters, so the western courtyard would be spared. She would use her own jet propulsion to even out the fall so that she didn't take damage upon landing. Violet flames poured out from her feet, but not from her hands. Like Vi, Tarah used her hand's flames only when course adjustment was necessary.

There were still opponents hiding out in the tower, so it would be pointless to spend too much power while they were still in reserve. Better to work on the mission objective.

After landing, Tarah would make her way towards the granary. She would search for food there. Her Konoha Military Police uniform could hold ten slots of food, while her violet cloak could hold an additional fifteen. With her hat and hands taken into account, that was a possible twenty-eight units of food she could take if it was available in the granary.

Attack: Fire Gun: Meteor
-Damage: 80 (Technique) + 40 (Charged) = 120 Fire Damage (S+D rank) + Invisibility
-Targets: Eastern side of castle minus enemy tower; Hatsu*, Hatsu's eagle, Kenji's paper clones (no specific number provided), Kenji's animals (no specific number provided)

*Takes extra damage by 2 ranks (40 points) if hit while in current wind form.

Footwork
Rank: "D"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A simple technique in which is needed to know in order to keep the boxer moving keeping them light on their toes against opponents.
Special: ---
Drawback: Get caught flat-footed and you will be vulnerable to counterpunches.
Description: Keep your weight balanced on both feet. Stay on the balls of your feet so you can attack, spin or retreat quickly to safety. Practice moving side to side or in a circular motion around your opponent. Shift and shuffle your feet quickly, but keep them close to the ground so you have a solid base under you. Switch stances often when training. This means you'll change which foot is in front. Work your calf muscles by jumping rope, biking and doing bag drills while moving constantly. Good footwork requires training with an integrated approach to movement, strategy, punches thrown and balance. It all has to work together, so you should always be thinking about your footwork.
Limit: Must learn in a gym that teaches Bokushingu (Boxing), Must know Upright Stance or Semi-Crouch

A rank in use
Hinotegan: Nagareboshi (Fire Gun: Meteor)
Rank: "B", "A"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: Using the basic understanding of Hinotegan (Fire Gun) the user is capable of producing a much power powerful ball of fire with explosive priorities.
Special: ---
Drawback: Depends on the user's knowledge within Hinotegan: Nagareboshi (Fire Gun: Meteor) depends on the strength of the technique. This technique subtracts the user's capability of movements by one.
Description: The user brings a hand towards themselves against their chest concentrating the chakra and the inner flame. The flame begins to appear along the hand as they quickly push towards the direction they wish as a large ball of flame is projected outwards towards the target. The flame swirls around the user's fist within the shape of one meter that looks like a swirling burning meteor. When the user launches they push it out in a punching matter. Depending on the user's knowledge depends on the strength of the technique. When the user first learns this technique the ball of flame that is launched is in the size of two meters. When the meteor makes contact it becomes explosive with flames reaching out at a distance of twenty meters in diameter. When the user learns the "A" rank version of this technique the meteor grows larger to the size of two and a half meters. When the meteor makes contact it becomes explosive with flames reaching out in the distance of thirty meters diameter. When it explodes it is more of a fury of flames spreading out vibrantly then an actual explosion.
Limit: Must know Hinotegan (Fire Gun) "B" to learn "B", Must know Hinotegan (Fire Gun) "A" to learn "A"

Charged with S rank
Denka Raishuu (Charged Attacks)
Rank: "D", "B", "S"
Skill: Supplementary
Effect: Certain Hinote-Kobushi users have been shown charging their attacks before releasing them, allowing them to create enormous blasts of fire.
Special: ---
Drawback: Depends on the user's knowledge within Denka Raishuu (Charged Attacks) depends on the strength of the technique. Denka Raishuu (Charged Attacks) doubles the normal amount of movements needed to perform an attack. Every attack takes up one movement so now they take two movements. For attacks, that takes two or more movements in order to perform it takes up double that amount.
Description: Picture The way the ranking system for this technique tree works is twofold. When the user learns the "D" Rank of this technique they are able to Charge up "D", and "C" rank techniques. When a user learns the "B" rank version of this technique they are able to charge up the "B" and "A" rank techniques. Then when the user learns the "S" rank version, they are of course able to charge up the "S" rank techniques for greater damage. Now for every rank the user learns the stronger a technique becomes and larger it may seem. When the user learns the "D" rank version, every fire technique is doubled in width, length, as well as range. When the user performs a technique while using a Charged version the power of the technique increases by half a rank. So when a user hits with a "D" rank it feels like a "D" rank and a half. When the user learns the "B" rank version of this technique, and performs an attack, the attack is then tripled in width, length, as well as range. When the user performs a technique while using a Charged version the power of the technique increases by one rank. When the user learns the final version of this technique, and performs an attack, the attack is now quadrupled in width, length, and range while the damage of the attack is amped up by two ranks.
Limit: Must learn from a master of Enten Kobushi - 炎天 - Scorching Sun Fist. Must have Mastered Hinote-Kobushi.

+B rank chakra for invisibility
Shisseki-Kouen (Disappearance Flame)
Rank: "B"
Skill: Supplementary
Effect: Certain masters of Hinote-Kobushi are able to turn their flames into the famous invisible flame.
Special: ---
Drawback: Will not work with Weapon fighting styles. User must add extra amount of chakra, which is equal to that of "B" rank for every time they perform a Fire Technique.
Description: There are certain types of fires depending on chemical changes may create an invisible flame. Without the usage of these types of high toxicating chemicals, a user is able to create an invisible flame. With this technique, the user is able to take the knowledge they have learned in the art of Hinote-Kobushi, and perform what is needed to create the invisible flame.
Limit: Must learn from a master of Enten Kobushi - 炎天 - Scorching Sun Fist. Must have Mastered Hinote-Kobushi. Must know Karafuru Chienji (Prismatic Change).

Jetto Suishin (Jet Propulsion)
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: Skilled Hinote-Kobushi users masters are able to conjure huge amounts of flame to propel themselves at high speeds on the ground or through the air.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture With this technique a user is able to take what they learned in Hinote Enmu (Fire Haze) and allow them to propel themselves around freely through the air. The user is also able to propel them along the ground as well when performing. When the user performs this technique, they quickly exhale out as they thrust their arms, or legs, or both out behind him, or the opposite direction of where they want to go. When the user does so the force of the flame propels the user. When opponents are close enough, they can be knocked back by the very technique as well since it is able to lift the user up. User is only able to perform this technique within the time limit of one round per class level before the user has to stop for one round, and continue again.
Limit: Must learn from a master of Enten Kobushi - 炎天 - Scorching Sun Fist. Must have Mastered Hinote-Kobushi.

Kenji, SE Tower:

Through your incredible green fingers you manage to create one dose of uncooked carrots, such healthy! Very eyesight! Much orange! Wow! if fed to the princess this would be worth 1 point of food.


Kenji's clones & Animals, Walls:

The clones spread out, but having no clear direction of where they were going they all got stuck on the wall, just outside the tower. There were blood splatters here, seemed like something was cut here. It was a task of average difficulty but despite that your knowledge of blood splatter analysis was not sufficient to divine a source of the blood splatters. You could decide to dwell longer on this or to pursue something different. And then there was one other thing to notice, the ocean was right below the walls, if you had something like a rod you would be able to fish from the walls.

You would reckon that each veggie was worth 1 point if fed to the princess, but would be worth 2 points per veggie if cooked in a dish somehow. Something told you that there would always be a plate of veggies here. That was however not the greatest thing. The hall, seventy meters long and twenty meters wide contained a long ten meters long table with chairs, ready for a feast! But... Where was the food? Wait?! What was that? A werewolf shaped shadow moved at the corner of your vision! You could hear the rattling of a chain from somewhere and low moaning sounds!

Zetsubô, Gatehouse:

Arriving at the gatehouse the animal would come upon a quite unusual scene. A dead man, with a knife in his chest lay slumped against the wall. Around him stood three guards in chainmail with a spear and a shield, guarding the scene to make sure noone would contaminate it. In addition there was a guard captain, furiously calling for expert help, flashing a 'get out of jail free' card and a bag of jerky for someone who would manage to decipher the murder scene for him. Of course the animal could not help him, so this was a very wasted opportunity.

Despite the wind slowing you down and blowing out anything that would have otherwise caused a blaze you would enter the kitchen. It was a building that was forty meters long and twenty meters wide. All kinds of kitchen equipment stood around and there were stainless steel counters all around. Moreover there was a chef here! He was sitting on the counter with his white clothes, Mario-moustache and white chef's hat. He had a sign to stuck to the wall next to him which said Will cook for food! I take half of the ingredients, you get the rest back as a delicious dish! Well, that was good to remember. Suddenly the lights flashed and a discoball lowered from the ceiling. A man with a microphone entered the kitchen announcing the challenge, it was an.... IRON CHEF COMPETITION!

[Father 'Suke]

The branches forming around the princess made well for him to be suitable for the work in the nature of what his actions led. The young shinobi grinned, his actions against the screaming and quivering fat hag paid off well. His eyes narrowing with a frown forming on his face when he looked towards the individual wall he had to exit out of. Indeed the very thought of being in a battle situation currently was not in his favor of hopes. Eyes watchful as always he focused his eyes along the walls inside the room before looking at the scroll holster his kage handed to him to loan. Rolling his shoulders, he began to rush on out of the southeast tower and towards the stables where he hoped to find some form of food in all hopes. Passing by wall after wall of the area before taking in the nature of what could be in the stables. Eyes keen and watchful of this spot in a moment of hope to find some cattle or other farm animal to use as desired. Thereby with his wits about himself, and eyes still wary, he moved in towards the stable's.

(OOC: Sorry it is short, just not much I can really do at the moment)

For some unknown reason, all of the clones and animals had ended up on the wall. It was truly a strange turn of events, given that a map had been present in the starting area and they had all attempted to split up and go to different areas, perhaps some type of displacement technique was being used.

Either way Kenji’s group spread out, once again attempting to go to different areas: Ba’al headed towards the stables, Amon towards the chapel, Bel towards the granary. Two of the clones would go to each of the following destinations: Barracks & Kitchen. Given their proximity to these locations this would presumably be a very easy task, as they were already on the walls next to their objectives. With the remaining two paper clones following after Kenji, lending an additional forty sheets of paper from Kenji—twenty each— which were used to form their bows along with ten arrows each to use in conjunction with the bows.

The young Kage entered the battlefield himself, after taking a brief moment to force feed the remaining carrots to the princess. By his count he should have racked up ten whole points, good work Kenji. As he headed out to the court yard he was surprised to see that some of the grass was ablaze, presumably from an enemy technique, a small amount of smoke pouring off the grass—in such a low density that it wouldn’t obscure vision at all— as the carbon was converted into energy. As a result he would shuffled between his vison types a few times to access the situation for threats—a feat that was made rather easy due to his ability to not only see everyone with x-ray vision, but to also detect all warm blooded creatures due to his heat vision, a further assessment was made using the condition vision to access whether the targets were hostel.

His heightened levels of observation hadn’t proved that effective in the opening seconds of the exam, presumably prevented by some manner of jutsu set up by the examining body!? It went without saying that he would be constantly attempting to hear everything that was occurring in the exam, and given his uncanny level of hearing which allowed him to ignore the sound dampening effects of walls it was quite possible that he would be able to achieve this, he was a master at it after all.

Clearly everyone had miss understood the requirements of the exam, they were to ensure that their princess was the largest? As a result everyone had presumably rushed out of their respective towers in search of food, however Kenji intended to simply kill his enemies as they attempted to return with this aforementioned food. His sniper clones taking positions to strike the enemies down should they venture out into the open. After priming all of his traps, Kenji walked over to the egg coup for rather obvious reasons, he wanted to collect some eggs, and perhaps some chickens.

Kenji decided that he would make use of the grass, or at least what was left of it. Creating twenty clones from the grass, all of which were unaffected by the burning technique, as was evidenced by the lack of smoke. This technique also served to stave the fire of anything to burn, resulting in it burning out shortly after unless it could miraculously find something new to ignite.

These clones where capable of utilising the wood release, so they would all enter the tower, one of the clones would take a set of flint & steel from Kenji in order to start a controlled fire. Upon entering the southeast tower they started to mass produce Avocados for the princess to feed on, creating a total of two hundred in a matter of seconds. The reason for this was simple, avocados were one of the highest calorie food there was, at one hundred and sixty calories per hundred grams. With the average avocado being two hundred and one grams, the average calories that could be extracted was three hundred and twenty two calories. Three times the value of a carrot per hundred grams, with a long carrot having thirty calories, making the avocado the superior choice for the exam.

An additional layer of control was added to the field as Kenji sprouted a group of weeds at the entrance to the kitchen, barracks & granary. These weeds would multiple at their respective locations at a rate of two new weeds every half a second, all of which were afflicted with Kenji’s virus. All of them would appear to be exotic to such a degree that someone who was unskilled in botany could well mistake them for a source of food, which would be unfortunate for them…

A further flick of his hands saw three exploding tags fly off towards the Chapel, stables & greethall. Using the adhesive properties of the tags Kenji would stick them to the header of the doorframes, due to their small size and the positioning of the tags they would be very difficult to find, but wasn’t that the purpose of setting up a trap?

A quick set of seals saw the creation of a small length of wire from five of the fake exploding tags, rolled together so tightly that it made the tripwire very difficult to detect, or at least that was Kenji’s intend. This piece of wire would attach itself to an exploding grenade, levitating through the power of paper control to be attached to one of the doors the southwest tower to be exact. The purpose of this trap was quite obvious, by opening the door the pressure exerted on the wire would remove the pin from the grenade causing it to explode. Clever trap indeed.

Ear for Detail

Not only can the user detect noise, but they are also an expert at identifying its source. The user hears not only the scrape of a boot against the stony floor, but also recognize the pace of the footsteps and the distinctive sound of the footwear (or lack thereof), allowing the user to identify someone, or know if they have never met them, before they come into sight. If the user has met them before, the user recognizes the creature's stride and know exactly who approaches. If the user has never met the creature before, they know they have not met it but the user does know what type of creature it is and what type of footwear, if any, it is using (or if it is using some other form of movement). In order to do this the user must actively attempt this as a movement and beat the Observation check by 30 or more. Failure to beat the check by 25 or more means misidentifying the source of the sounds.

[Gohan]

Hatsu arrived outside the great hall to see a plate of vegetables at the doorstep. A quick glance around would have revealed nothing ‘visible,’ so he would land to the right of the doorway, turn into human form, and grab the vegetables. He would quickly stuff them into his trouser pockets and take a peek inside. And what he saw was… no food. He did see some blurs of motion, but unless he ended up seeing food through his x-ray and thermal visions (which he was switching between during his quick inspection), then he would leave without setting foot inside the great hall.
Something’s out of the ordinary here. Great halls are where people feast, correct?

Well, there was no point in dawdling. He would burst back into wind form and create a wind double to try figuring out this mystery. He would create a second wind double and send him westward, along the walls to find any windows or doors that could be opened or broken open. Now completely legless, Hatsu would pass by the chicken coop and the well (flying 5 meters above ground). Upon passing the kusakage who was probably looking through the coop at this point, he would quickly shout “there’s something spooky in the great hall. I think there’s some kind of puzzle that I couldn’t figure out.” Good lord I just wasted like two seconds of our precious time talking. Hopefully the kage would recognize his voice, since he was invisible (apparently).

Upon reaching the well, which took up the rest of his time since he had to fly against the winds somewhat, Hatsu would fly a few meters it and see what the noise was about. He wasn’t sure if he could still use his optics in wind form, but he would certainly try to switch through thermal and x-ray modes to see assuming it was too dark to do see normally. Somewhat wary of the burning smell in the air, Hatsu wouldn’t want to go down the well too far, lest someone try using a fire jutsu in the well. If Hatsu still couldn’t see what was going on in the well, he would shout “What’s going on down here?”

---

Omega Clone would materialize right outside the great hall and go inside. There was no food in here, and it was pretty damn spooky. He would fly around the room (in circles), skimming the ceiling, and try looking for food elsewhere. Assuming his original hadn’t seen anything in his thermal / x-ray optics during his brief time in human form, Omega Clone would simply start looking for food from up high. Having expected there to be trials to get food, he would assume that this was just some kind of test.

---

Theta Clone would materialize right outside the great hall and fly westward across the northern wall. He would form a wind blade which would make his right arm turn into a longsword-sized visible blade. He would use this blade to cut and break open every door and window he would come across on his way from the great hall to the kitchen. He would then fly south against the western wall to break any doors and windows he saw as well, eventually stopping at the enemy tower. If he still had time left, he would simply ride the winds like Alpha Eagle.

---

Alpha Eagle, who would be the only valid target of the massive fireball, would not be able to see it due to it being… invisible. The bird would feel the heat closing in, and start roasting. His feather suddenly burst into flames and with a loud shriek, Alpha would die. Any remaining embers would serve to roast the poor bird which would be forced down the princess’ throat should Hatsu end up noticing his dead pet.

Forma di Vento (Wind Form)
Rank: "C", "B with signature jutsu", "A", "S"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: Transforms the user in to a cloudlike vapour substance that is in the shape of their own body.
Special: ---
Drawback: A Scirocco will die if they are crushed by something larger than their maximum normal volume weight.
Description: When the user transforms their whole body as well as all items on them (including clothes) they become a vapour, cloud like substance. In this substance they are able to move around but at this moment are unable to fly, since they are still heavier than the air that surrounds them. In order to fly please look at the Wind Walk technique. Depending on the user's knowledge in the technique depends on the strength of the ability. Their cloud like vapour body is connected by a centralized core that cannot be seen by the naked eye within the cloud like vapour. If the core is destroyed the Scirocco will die. The time it takes for a Scirocco to change into a vapour is equal to the amount of time it takes to form the handseals for a jutsu of the same rank as the rank of Wind Form.
"C" Rank Technique - User is able to transform them self into a cloud like vapour substance within 2 meters by 2 meters by 2 meters of distance while retaining the same amount of mass as they normally would. The central chakra core is the size of a basketball at this point. All Fire Release Techniques and any Earth Defence Techniques have an effect of 3 ranks higher than normal while in this form. TaiJutsu techniques phases through this form however energy attacks do work such as Fire Release and Lightning Release. User is unable to perform TaiJutsu techniques as well as any other techniques that are "C" Rank and higher other than any other Scirocco technique.
"B" Rank Technique - User is able to transform them self into a cloud like vapour substance within 4 meters by 4 meters by 4 meters of distance while retaining the same amount of mass as they normally would. The central chakra core is the size of a softball at this point. All Fire Release Techniques and any Earth Defence Techniques have an effect of 2 ranks higher than normal while in this form. TaiJutsu techniques phases through this form however energy attacks do work such as Fire Release and Lightning Release. User is unable to perform TaiJutsu techniques as well as any other techniques that are "B" Rank and higher other than any other Scirocco technique.
"A" Rank Technique - User is able to release transform them self into a cloud like vapour substance within 6 meters by 6 meters by 6 meters of distance while retaining the same amount of mass as they normally would. The central chakra core is the size of a baseball at this point. All Fire Release Techniques and any Earth Defence Techniques have an effect of 1 ranks higher than normal while in this form. TaiJutsu techniques phases through this form however energy attacks do work such as Fire Release and Lightning Release. User is unable to perform TaiJutsu techniques as well as any other techniques that are "A" Rank and higher other than any other Scirocco technique.
"S" Rank Technique - User is able to release transform them self into a cloud like vapour substance within 8 meters by 8 meters by 8 meters of distance while retaining the same amount of mass as they normally would. The central chakra core is the size of a marble at this point. All Fire Release Techniques and any Earth Defence Techniques have no added effect while in this form. TaiJutsu techniques phases through this form however energy attacks do work such as Fire Release and Lightning Release. User is unable to perform TaiJutsu techniques as well as any other techniques that are "S" Rank, but is able to perform all Scirocco techniques.
Limit: Must be a Scirocco.

Pesi Piuma (Featherweight)
Rank: "B"
Skill: NinJutsu, Passive
Effect: The Scirocco clanmember becomes so light that they no longer impact the ground he or she walks upon in humanoid form.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The Scirocco member becomes a light as a feather, causing them to no longer impact the ground when they are in humanoid form. They are so light that they no longer leave footsteps behind, no longer imprint snow and can walk over pressure based traps like mines without setting them off. Grass and flowers under the users foot bend and spring up again as if it has been untouched. This is a passive ability that can be invoked and deactivated as the user sees fit. There is however no middle road, the user is either weightless or has normal weight in humanoid form; there are no other options.
Limit: Must be a Scirocco. Must be at least C-ranked

Vento Doppia (Wind Double)
Rank: “B”
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: User creates a clone in windform out of a severed limb.
Special: "Handseals", must be in Windform.
Drawback: When forming arms into clones the ability to perform handseals is affected until the arms are regrown through 'Wind regeneration'.
Description: Whilst in windform the user amputates one of his or her limbs, which reforms in the form of a clone that has the maximum rank of Wind Form learned permanently active. One fifth of the users chakra is transferred to the clone, which is why the user is able to perform this technique only four times during a fight maximum, leaving the user with only fifth chakra left and no limbs. The clones are able to perform all Fuuton and Scirocco jutsu the user knows. When the user reverts to his or her humanoid form the clones reform as limbs on the user, but the user does not regain the chakra that was spent on the clones.
Limit: Must be a Scirocco. Must know Wind form.

Vento a piedi (Wind Walk)
Rank: "C", “C”, “B”
Skill: NinJutsu, Passive.
Effect: User can alter the substance of their cloud like vaporous body and move through the air, possibly at great speed.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Upon learning this technique for the first time the user gains the ability to use shunshin whilst in the wind form. As usual with shunshin the user will only be able to move along the ground. Upon learning a second time the user unlocks the full possibility of flight, be it at half of the normal running speed. The user now also gains the capability of using shunshin in every possible direction, even up and down, whilst in cloud form. When learning the B-ranked version of this technique the user will be able to move at full speed whilst in wind form.
Limit: Must be a Scirocco, must know Shunshin.

Controllore Dei Venti (Controller of Winds)
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: User can alter wind force in the area surrounding them. They can make the wind blow in a certain direction or manner, increase its strength, or decrease its strength.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: ---
Description: The new wind direction and strength persist until the technique ends (10 minutes per Class Level) or until the user chooses to alter the technique, which requires concentration. User may create an “eye” of calm air up to 25 feet in diameter at the center of the area if the user desires, and the user may choose to limit the area to any cylindrical area less than their area. User may choose one of four basic wind patterns to function over the technique's area. Which are
A downdraft blows from the center outward in equal strength in all directions.
An updraft blows from the outer edges in toward the center in equal strength from all directions, veering upward before impinging on the eye in the center.
A rotation causes the winds to circle the center in clockwise or counterclockwise fashion.
A blast simply causes the winds to blow in one direction across the entire area from one side to the other.

Depending on the user's ability to perform this technique depends on the user's ability to perform this technique.
"D" Rank - Strong winds (21+ mph) make sailing difficult.
"C" Rank - A severe wind (31+ mph) causes minor ship and building damage.
"B" Rank - A windstorm (51+ mph) drives most flying creatures from the skies, uproots small trees, knocks down light wooden structures, tears off roofs, and endangers ships.
"A" Rank - Hurricane force winds (75+ mph) destroy wooden buildings, sometimes uproot even large trees, and cause most ships to founder.
"S" Rank - A tornado (175+ mph) destroys all nonfortified buildings and often uproots large trees.
Limit: Must be a Scirocco. User cannot learn ranks of this jutsu that are above the user’s rank.

Ridurre Arma Vento (Slashing Wind Weapon)
Rank: “C”, “C”, “B”
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: User forms their arms into slashing weapons.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: Cannot form handseals whilst this is active.
Description: The user forms handseals and uses their knowledge of ‘Selective Transformation’ in order to change an arm into a blade made out of wind. The wind is as long as a standard overview longsword, and feels as strong as steel. However, due to the fact that it is made out of wind this sword is extremely light, making it extremely agile. Another advantage is that this sword is effectively the users arm, making disarmament impossible, though removal of the arm still works. When learned the first time the user is able to transform one arm into a blade. When the C-rank is learned again the user is able to form both arms into a blade, whereas the B-ranked version enables the user to form blades the size of a fullblade. This technique ends after three turns, or earlier if the user decides to terminate it prematurely.
Limit: Must be a Scirocco. Must know Selective Transformation.

[~Emi~]

What's going on?

I

t didn't seem as easy as he had expected, the room wasn't full of food and the opponent was on the same location as the salad. They were already getting behind. His inner eye was following the other shinobi on the outside while he discovered a second aura. The enemies had finally moved as suspected. But he would need to find some food, quickly. So he removed the locking tag and quickly exited the building. He was still invisible to the naked eye, but a few meters in front of him, the hostile shinobi was in some kind of cloud form. It was nothing he had ever encountered before and since he hadn't familiarized himself with the opponents individual auras, he didn't recognize which one it was from the quick glance from behind. The seals he made was quick. He had practiced them for several years, the art of manipulating the earth. When the seals were done and Emi send a small amount of chakra into the stones below him, the ground quickly changed into a field of mud. It was the large version, as he wanted to make some large creations. And since it was war he didn't stop with the mudfield. It was as if the next technique he made was just him continuing with the first one to avoid any downtime he could get interrupted in.

Gotcha

The mud took the shape of six large eagles with dark brown feathers and a hardened layer covering entire them. As soon as the birds was created, they flew towards the misty form of a ninja, attempting to take the vegetables away from the opponent. During the time he had performed his jutsu, the opponent had flew towards the well, but the birds were quick and they were to catch up any moment. Emi smiled as he saw his creations getting closer, and to make himself sure that it'd go without a hitch, he performed some more seals, to make the birds explode. But he held the final seal, as he wanted to see what happened.

(He's visible solus.... and how was he in the hall faster than me when he didn't even enter it in his post, also, I put on a locking tag, so how could he open the door? the map indicates only one door to the courtyard.)

(ooc: Guys, I'm certain that the map provided to us isn't 100% precise, especially regarding doors and such. I believe we are supposed to go by Solus's description on the castle rather than only the image.)

---

The invisible meteor fireball's explosion was massive, reaching even as far as the great hall. In fact, it would be big enough to cover up all the doors as well. Unless Hatsu managed to travel north a hundred meters and enter the great hall within the space of two or three seconds, he was likely to be caught in the blast. It wouldn't be just the bird that burned if this attack wasn't detected and avoided properly. There were no safe places in the eastern side, except for the southern wall in the opposite direction of the great hall.

Vi looked around at the kitchen with some disappointment. There was no food here, nothing up for grabs, anyway. But there were cooks...

The Iron Chef competition was beyond her care at the moment. She was pretty sure there wasn't enough time to attend an event like that for food. Her attention was on someone else.

The old soul walked up to the chef that sat on the counter. She smiled at him, and held up a hand to shake.

At around this time, the sound of an explosion would probably surge through the castle. Again, likely to be Tarah. Vi ignored it, not too worried about what kind of combat decision her soul sister was making.

"A proposal," said Vi, "If you take your equipment and go to the Southwestern tower, I can provide you with fire, ingredients, and a monetary payment contract."

Regardless of the chef's answer, Vi would leave the kitchen and be back on the western wall. She would have activated her aura sight so that she could better see how the battle across the castle was going. Since the kitchen was all the way on the northwestern side, mathematically, she would be at around a hundred and eighty meters away from the enemy safehouse.

Soul Sight
Rank: "D"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: A Soulcaster can see the auras of others.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: User isn't able to see the alignments of people but can indicate an emotional state, such as anger, depression, or love. Using this ability, Soulcaster can see other Soulcasters. This technique however does not allow the user to see in the dark, nor see through invisibility techniques. The sight mostly comes in colors. Different emotions emit different colors. (What colors the user sees is by their own choice OOC)
Limit: Must be a Soulcaster.

Well, that was easy. Readily available food.

Tarah quickly gathered the pound of flour, liter of milk, pound of butter, and four apples, storing them into her cloak. She then grabbed the three pound bag of flour with her left hand and left the granary.

She moved on, staying on the balls of her feet with boxing footwork so that her movement speed stayed balanced and swift. She remained this balanced constantly, so that she was always ready for sudden movement.

The short and tall boys from the opposing team would have likely entered the courtyard by the time Tarah left the granary. That, or be on the stairway that led to the courtyard. This was based on however long it took for them to feed their princess, leave their tower, and reach the actual courtyard. Since every safehouse tower door clearly led to the top of one of the walls, they had to have walked down one of the stairways along the walls, jump down directly like Tarah did, or used some other method of transportation. There were no doors that led directly to the courtyard. Either way, they could be clearly seen out in the open and in the sniper mono-goggle's x-ray vision.

Tarah didn't bother with switching to thermal vision. X-ray was good enough. Plus the residual heat from her massive fire attack would likely still fill the eastern side of the castle, so anyone using heat senses would probably be greatly obscured.

The tall one went over to the stables, but the shorter one was approaching the chicken coop. No doubt in search of food. It was definite not a clone, since the shorty had a skeletal system seen under her x-ray.

Several animal skeletons would be seen scattering about as well. They probably wouldn't get too far, considering that the east and west walls were about a hundred meters across and the north and south walls were a hundred and fifty meters across. Progress would be especially troublesome with Tarah's next action.

If the short boy's set of actions continued as he planned, Tarah would have breathed deeply and begun charging her energy into her right arm when the shorty started performing the handseals for his next clone technique. His handseals would have enough time to finish first, but Tarah's own attack would be launched less than a tenth of a second later. The new clones would probably be in the middle of forming at that point.

A thin bolt of transparent energy, which would be easy to hide among the smoke from Tarah's first attack, shot through the air towards the eastern side. Tarah made sure to shoot it away from any physical obstructions that could block it. The smoke might not be plentiful, but the energy bolt lacked any colors with its transparency to stand out against the rest of the area.

The bolt didn't head right for any particular target. It landed roughly forty-five meters northwest of the enemy tower. That kept the enemy tower out of her range. After all, Tarah couldn't attack the opposing safehouse.

No form of anti-flanking predictors or instincts would register the bolt of energy as a threat, even if it was detected. The boost of the warrior that Tarah used on herself earlier on insured that her attack couldn't be detected by senses such as that. It wouldn't be much use against something like her doom ward, which literally worked off of the future, but taijutsu variations of anti-flanking like her brawler second sense were useless for anticipating the danger of the energy bolt. Anyone who never saw the attack before wouldn't know what was coming next.

Once the energy bolt reached its destination, it would instantly super-heat the air and produce a gigantic violet-colored explosion with almost a forty-three meter radius range. The entire explosion would be more than eighty-five meters in diameter. It wouldn't touch the southeastern tower, but practically everything else on the southeastern side was within its range. Since the explosion was spherical, it missed the tower but could still strike the walls.

If the castle walls didn't have any form of additional reinforcement, like from chakra, the explosion would probably destroy them. Tarah's attack was able to disintegrate hill-sized boulders without any additional boost. Since it was boosted by her charge, it was even more powerful than that. The two boys would be under threat.

Since the taller boy went into the stables, he wouldn't quite take the full force of the explosion, so long as the stables were an enclosed area. Still, the stables would have to be pretty well-built to dampen the blast.

The chapel was within range too, so anyone in there was in danger as well. The eastern side of the guardhouse was also in range.

Unfortunately, the well and chicken coop were in range of the explosion, just barely. Those places of interest would be destroyed if they had no fortifications. This also meant that if the vapor entity, the third enemy member, managed to survive Tarah's first attack, he would be in range of the explosion if he went over to the mysterious well as planned.

The shorter boy was out in the open, so would take the full force of the attack if it wasn't avoided. If his route was directly from his tower to the coop, the explosion would originate somewhere from his right side. Since the walls would trap him in the courtyard, he'd probably have to travel more than fifty meters towards the North or West to avoid the explosion, that is if he somehow detected it and understood its danger and range.

Every single animal in the area was in danger as well. The explosion assaulted roughly fifty meters of the eastern wall and fifty meters of the southern wall. To escape, an animal on the wall would have to move more than fifty meters away from the safehouse tower in less than a couple seconds. Any animal in the courtyard would have to move even further than that.

Naturally, every clone would be likely to be caught in the burst as well.

If the walls were completely destroyed. The enemy tower would be isolated. Since the two doors to enter and leave the tower would still be where the top of the walls were, anyone outside the tower needed another method to go up to their doorway. The stairs and walls would be gone. There might be a ledge of what remained from the broken wall attached to the tower, but no more physical path.

This was attrition. A powerful tool of warfare, the action of reducing the enemy power. Her explosion could eliminate all nearby structures, reducing the likelihood of finding food. That also increased the distance the enemy would have to travel to obtain any food. Any opponents killed by her attack drastically reduced the opponent capability.

Even if the walls held firm, Tarah's attack would still have everything under threat.

The young girl wasn't without caution, as well. She kept an eye on her enemies through her x-ray. Even if they were killed, their skeletons would be seen broken and scattered to dust. However, if they just disappeared, that meant the use of transportation techniques, so she was ready to look around for her enemies.

Without understanding the danger of a tiny transparent bolt hidden by smoke, it was unlikely any of the enemies would say the safeword. Even then, since the teleportation was said to not be instant, the explosion could probably take them out before they could be saved by the director. If they decided to run away from the transparent bolt, backing over to the walls wouldn't be any help since it was all in her range.

Although Tarah was merciless, she hoped she didn't accidentally kill all her enemies at once with her attack. If the death of the entire enemy team ended the exams, she would technically lose according to the rules.

Well, she had a little faith in her foe.

*Attack: Fire Fist + Charged, converted from fire to explosive damage.
-Range: 32 (Fist) x 4 (Charge) = 128 meters. 128 / 3 = 42.66 meters radius, explosion conversion.
-Damage: 100 (Fist) + 40 (Charge) = 140 Explosive Damage. (S + C rank)
-Undetectable by anti-flanking (Boost of the Warrior)
-Targets: All enemy entities.

Hinoteken (Fire Fist)
Rank: "B", "A", "S",
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: User turns their fist into flames and launches it as a column of fire at their target.
Special: ---
Drawback: Depends on the user's knowledge within Hinoteken (Fire Fist) depends on the strength of the technique. This technique subtracts the user's capability of movements by one.
Description: Picture The Infamous Hinoteken (Fire Fist) is one of the ultimate Flame techniques as it allows the user capabilities to take down ships if needed. One of the most pinnacle techniques within the Hinote-Kobushi form. The user takes the concept of Hinote Enmu (Fire Haze) and Higan (Fire Gun) placing them both together creating a more fierce technique. With Hinoteken (Fire Fist) the user is capable of forcing a flame with such power and intensity to where it is capable of plowing through ships giving a burning effect. When the user wishes to bring out the flame they exhale out focusing their inner flame along the palm of their hand forcing a large column of fire towards their target. When first learned the column is capable of being shot out into the distance of nine meters with the width of the user's torso. When the user learns the "B" rank version this technique is capable of being shot out within the distance of eighteen meters with a width of a human body. When the user learns the "A" rank version of this technique the distance is increased up to thirty-two meters with a capability of launching with the width of a two human bodies.
Limit: Must learn from a master of Enten Kobushi - 炎天 - Scorching Sun Fist. Must know Hinote Enmu (Fire Haze) and Higan (Fire Gun) "C" for "B", "B" for "A", "A" for "S"

SPOILER: Click to show

Denka Raishuu (Charged Attacks)
Rank: "D", "B", "S"
Skill: Supplementary
Effect: Certain Hinote-Kobushi users have been shown charging their attacks before releasing them, allowing them to create enormous blasts of fire.
Special: ---
Drawback: Depends on the user's knowledge within Denka Raishuu (Charged Attacks) depends on the strength of the technique. Denka Raishuu (Charged Attacks) doubles the normal amount of movements needed to perform an attack. Every attack takes up one movement so now they take two movements. For attacks, that takes two or more movements in order to perform it takes up double that amount.
Description: Picture The way the ranking system for this technique tree works is twofold. When the user learns the "D" Rank of this technique they are able to Charge up "D", and "C" rank techniques. When a user learns the "B" rank version of this technique they are able to charge up the "B" and "A" rank techniques. Then when the user learns the "S" rank version, they are of course able to charge up the "S" rank techniques for greater damage. Now for every rank the user learns the stronger a technique becomes and larger it may seem. When the user learns the "D" rank version, every fire technique is doubled in width, length, as well as range. When the user performs a technique while using a Charged version the power of the technique increases by half a rank. So when a user hits with a "D" rank it feels like a "D" rank and a half. When the user learns the "B" rank version of this technique, and performs an attack, the attack is then tripled in width, length, as well as range. When the user performs a technique while using a Charged version the power of the technique increases by one rank. When the user learns the final version of this technique, and performs an attack, the attack is now quadrupled in width, length, and range while the damage of the attack is amped up by two ranks.
Limit: Must learn from a master of Enten Kobushi - 炎天 - Scorching Sun Fist. Must have Mastered Hinote-Kobushi.

Nenshou-Kouen (Combustion Flame)
Rank: "B"
Skill: Supplementary
Effect: Certain masters of Hinote-Kobushi are able to turn their flames into combustion like form. This means that within a certain radius, depending on how well they know how to use Hinote-Kobushi, instead of performing a flame, a user is able to super heat the air where a flame should be and create an exploding dedication.
Special: ---
Drawback: Does not work with ball, arch, ring techniques or other form of explosive techniques. Will not work with Weapon fighting styles. The technique has the potential to be just as hazardous to the user as it can be to their surroundings
Description: Extremely effective as it is destructive, capable of use at close and long-range, and can completely disintegrate hill-sized boulders and instantaneously evaporate large bodies of water with ease. The user focuses their chakra through their stomach up to their arms, or down to their legs. This energy created thin transparent energy bolts which detonates the surrounding area on contact. User must take in a deep breath for the focus. A single energy bolt is very powerful and can disintegrate large boulders or evaporate entire bodies of water with ease. The true degree of this technique only works as well as the user's capabilities. When the user performs this technique, the explosion only occurs within a radius of one third of how well a user may perform a technique within distance. The explosion when explodes has a knock back of one fourth of what the user knows in distance. This means that when a user performs Hinote Enmu (Fire Haze) "A" Rank they are able to perform the attack at a distance of eighteen meters, with an explosion of six meters, while the knock back is another six meters.

Round 2!

OOC rant:

SPOILER: Click to show

I was about to make a large rant here about reading posts but luckily Nira already made the point so the worst is already done... Now, because you all of course know this I will not have to point out basic NFRP knowledge and my first post in this thread, which you all are quite familiar with to the point where I don't have to reference to it for the bloody fifth time. I don’t have to tell you for example that NFRP is text based and that any images, music or movies added to any posts are supplementary and that those are only intended to add flavour or visualize the written text which should and in this case mostly is understandable enough. In this example I won’t have to quote my first post which says:

Jul 26, 2014 18:39:12 GMT -7 Solus said:

It seemed as if all buildings along the wall were accessible from both the courtyard and the walls.

Which indicates that in the case of a very randomly chosen room, let’s take the Great Hall, there are at least two doors to start with, one to the courtyard and one to the walls. Now, although further enhanced by the map image my written description puts the kitchen and the chapel next to the Great hall. And since my first post says:

Jul 26, 2014 18:39:12 GMT -7 Solus said:

Next to this the map revealed that all buildings were accessible from a neighbouring building.

which means that there are two more doors leading to the kitchen and the chapel respectively. But all of you of course knew this because you read my first post thoroughly so I do not have to point it out five times within the first two rounds of posting.

Also, since you are all experienced NFRP’ers I do not have to tell you how to battle, so I shan’t mention it because you all of course know this and any additions to your knowledge I might attempt to make here would be superfluous. An art only Gohan’s eagle seems to have mastered though. I am writing all of this in my capacity as a Chuunin Examiner, not a battle moderator. It is not my job to point out any attacks the PC opponent makes against you and their results against specifically you. It is your own responsibility to detect incoming attacks from PC opponents and deal with them! If I do not describe an enemy PC attack in detail then it does not mean it doesn’t affect you. Should you start to feel insecure about how these things work then I urge you to take a look here: Link. But of course you know all about that and especially how critical hits work from failing to mention enemy attacks.

That was all, but you probably didn’t need this, did you?

All:

If not interrupted in any way, last two shots from the small girl would smack down on the eastern wall, sending shivers through the entire castle and creating a loud noise that could be heard everywhere. The walls buckled, absorbing the strength as best as they could. After all, castle walls were made to withstand impacts and this entire castle had been transformed into a CE arena so the entire thing held quite well. The four meters thick structure held. The stones were scorched and cracked, making the courtyard side two meters of the wall very treacherous to walk upon. It looked like it could go any minute. As for the buildings underneath the wall, clearly they were reinforced in some manner for these exams. Except for a few misplaced roof tiles, which would reveal a metal surface underneath they would come off rather scat free. There were a few small fires but three guards clad in chainmail with buckets would appear from the barracks running back and forth through the fray fearlessly to put them out, starting with the chicken coop. This would be accomplished swiftly, saving the structures before any actual damage could be done.


Ryosuke, Walls, stables:

Looking inside the stables you would discover that there was an ox here. Something told you that whenever you would visit here there would be an ox. If you somehow would manage to cook this entire thing it would be 24 points worth of food! Four points for each leg, five for the torso and three for the head and neck. There was only one tiny problem here. The beast was still very much kicking and alive! But wait! There was something else! A milk cow! If you could somehow butcher and cook that it would render you as much food as the bull! Then next to that you could also milk it. A cow like that would produce one food point worth of milk surely. An old man in overalls and a straw hat (and nothing but that) would approach you from the milk cow. He was chewing tobacco and the smell of the product clad to him like flies to a turd. Speaking about turds, that was also the perfect allegory for the state of this man’s teeth or rather, what was left of them. “Hey there shonny!” he spoke, buckling the thumb of his left hand behind a strap of his overall, holding up his right hand, which contained a bean. “Wanna buy a magic bean shonny? I been looking at thish milk cow of yersh ‘ere and it would make a damn fine addisjion to me herd. I’ll trade yer milk cow for these magic beans. These are awsjum you know?! Just plant them in any dirt, add some water and a gigantic bean sjtalk will grow in a second. Give you some mighty fine big beans too! Asj big asj water melons oh yeah! Yee haw!” This seemed like a most tempting offer, especially when traded for a cow that was not even yours to start with!

Ba’al, Stables:

If somehow not killed (Critical hit from Tarah has taken place) Ba’al would make his move. See Ryosuke’s section for more.


Amon, Chapel:

If somehow not killed (Critical hit from Tarah has taken place) Amon would make his move. In the chapel there was a priest at the altar, standing ready to give any human that would enter communion of some sort since he stood ready with a pitcher of wine and a plate of sacramental bread wafers. Something told the animal that this priest would always be here. The animal of course would not get any. Next to that the creature discovered a four litre barrel of wine standing behind the altar. If that was fed to the princess it would be worth five food points.

Bel, Granary, then Gatehouse:

If somehow not killed (Critical hit from Tarah has taken place) Bel would make his move. The animal would try to reach the gatehouse, but suddenly the teleportation system was on the fritz and the animal found itself teleported to the gatehouse. By now the murder scene had been resolved and removed here and in its place a trader had set up a tiny stall with a sign which read Will trade food! A point for a point! Turn your useless food items into ingredients for the perfect dish! Something told the animal that this person was here to stay. In an incredible stroke of luck three gulls would fly into the room. Circling around aimlessly in an attempt to relocate the exit. Each of these would be worth five points worth of food of cooked and fed to the princess!

Kenji Clone 1, Barracks:

If somehow not killed (Critical hit from Tarah has taken place) Clone 1 would make his move. The barracks were a place where guards were in various states of relaxation. Beds lined the east wall, filled with guards passing the time either playing a game, reading the Playboy or playing the gameboy. On the opposite side of the room the entire wall was lined with lockers. One directly opposite to the door was open and you could see a single dose of spices inside. If you added these to a dish it would give that dish an additional food point! Something told you these spices would be here again upon a second return. But wait! On the opposite side of the room was another locker that not open, but you could smell the candy inside. There would be at least ten points of it in there. But surely, you would never try to take anything that was not yours?

Kenji Clone 2, Kitchen:

If somehow not killed (Critical hit from Tarah has taken place) Clone 2 would make his move. If the clone managed to enter the kitchen he would not only notice the chef, but also find a coupon sized paper on the counter. It contained a whole load of ones and zeros in some kind of random order yet organized into groups as if they were supposed to represent words. A language written in 1’s and 0’s, what an odd thing. If only could decipher this paper and learn its secrets.

Kenji, SE Tower, then Courtyard:

Stuffing the carrots down the princesses throat gave you one redeemed food point. Had you cooked the carrots it might have been more but alas, it was at least something. In the chicken coop there was strangely no sight of any chickens, but there were three eggs and something told you that upon your next visit to the courtyard they would be here again. Each of the eggs would yield a single food point when cooked. Overhead you spot a pigeon flying over you at a height of five meters, if you could shoot it down and cook it, it would be worth five points of food. Then of course came your master piece, creating masses of clones that would crease masses of avocadoes if not interrupted. And then it would all come crashing down if nothing had deterred you from taking this course of action. Your clones would all disintegrate, your avocadoes would disappear into puffs of alabaster smoke and your paper creations would fall back into normal harmless sheets. You had used chakra that equalled eight S-ranked jutsus and thus you would simply be out of chakra. Until recharged through rest your chakra abilities would be out of reach.

Gohan, Great Hall, then Courtyard

If somehow not killed (Critical hit from Tarah has taken place) Hatsu would make his move.Changing visions would not work, whether you realized it or not, your brains themselves were being deceived and since they were convinced they were not seeing any food changing your visions did not alter this fact. After creating a few clones you would drift towards the well. There, peering down you saw something eerie. A young girl, you would guess her to be around the age of eight, in a pink Lolita dress and long blonde hair would be staring up at you with big blue eyes. Clearly she was stuck in the well, six meters below the ground. A strange thought crossed your mind, if cooked properly this child would be worth 20 food points! She was crying down there and did not formulate a spoken reply. The entire scene however was clear enough. Across the courtyard a pigeon flew by you, five meters above the ground. That thing would be worth 5 points of food when cooked!

[/b]
Circling around the clone would continue to be haunted by rattling sounds, the appearances of werewolves at the corner of his vision and suddenly the walls started to drip red with blood! This was definitely not getting any better.

Thetha clone:

Such vandalism, good job!

Alpha Eagle

And one moment you are top predator and the next you are worth five points of food. At least you’re still contributing...[/ul]

Emi, Courtyard:

Above you a pigeon would fly by, if you could even be bothered to catch it and cook it the resulting dish would be worth five points of food.

SPOILER: Click to show

I never stated anything about any of you being inside or outside the hall, I merely stated what you would see inside the hall and how far away from each other you would be. Both of you used techs to boost speed and his distance to the great hall was shorter and unlike your route he went in a straight line from the tower door. For the rest, see above.

Vi, Kitchen, Walls:

The chef would shake his head. “No-eh! My place iessa ‘ere! Capisco?! Now if you do not have anything else to ask of me, please move along!” When you entered the walls from the kitchen you would see a guard clad in chainmal a pot helmet carrying a shield and sword, walking his dog, which was no higher than 20 centimetres (The dog, not the guard who was of average height). Occasionally the man stretched down to pat the creature. Clearly he loved his mutt. If you would happen to steal and cook it however it would yield six points of food.

Tarah, Courtyard:

Overhead a pigeon would fly by, if you could even bother to look up to spot it that is in the midst of your fiery bombardment. If cooked that would be five points of food but eh. You’re busy killing stuff, I get that.[/font][/blockquote]

-is dead apparently-
Exits with free scrap

I was told that 500 TP was good enough to get through the chuunins and thought I could get through it using intuition and not have to fight other contestants.
Next time, I will be the powerful one with 5500 + Tp and go around killing everyone 

I highly suggest the minimum TP be raised if this is how the exams are held. There is no way someone of my caliber could have hoped to survive a combat based event. While the 'experience' was valuable, I feel like I've wasted the examiner's as well as my own time.
