The Odd Challenger (Open Sparring)

[Ulyanin]

It was a mild day in the Land of Thunder, the signature clouds that hung as near-perpetual decorations for the hidden village of its name sake gave the environment a rather gloomy feel to it. After having learned a few techniques to help Ulyanin along in his pursuit to have fun and to further his little adventures, he decided to see how well he did in a friendly match against anyone willing to spar with him; the stage was set in an outdoor arena that was adjacent to the tall mountainous perch of the village itself, this was a proving ground for ninja young and old to experience combat that was as realistic as possible. In this setting of combat, rivalries could be forged or exchanges amongst peers can occur, encouraging overall growth and providing much needed strength to the Village Hidden in the Clouds; and it would be here that the fluffy-headed little weirdo will see what he is made of, as the conditions present were deemed ripe for his preferred fighting style.

A challenge was issued by the odd little wool head, and he waited patiently for his request to be answered.

Rules:
- Any number of techniques, either learned or learning, can be used.
- Hits/Misses will be determined by a 6-sided die; success/fail ratios at 50%.

[Aimi Kaguya]

Aimi stood not far away from his team mates staring at what appeared to be a crudely drawn poster of a... sheep? Sheep-morph? Was this someone's bad drawing put up on display as a prank? He wasn't really sure, but he was strangely transfixed by it. The drawing was just outright bad in his opinion, but there were words on it as well that alerted him to a challenge of some sort. A little arrow next to the sheep's (?) hand pointed over to the right, prompting him to look and behold another poster of the same visage.

Frowning a bit curiously, the Kusa genin readjusted the satchel of herbs on his shoulder and stepped away from the flier, his eyes following them one at a time as they moved from wall to wall, a trail leading somewhere near by. He was technically on a mission right now... but then again, they were pretty much done anyways and were heading out tomorrow so... what harm could it do? He was curious and wanted to see where these poorly drawn posters lead. Heading back over to his team mates, he set the bag down and informed his team captain where he was going, letting them know that he'd be back in a little while. With his approval, he was off.

It took only a short walk to find where the posters were leading; an arena of all things, just as advertised. There standing in the arena was a fluffy haired male, looking very much like he was expecting something or someone... a challenger maybe? Now that Aimi had a decent look at the fellow, he could surmise that it was his visage on the posters as crudely drawn as they were. A spar with a Cloud genin could have been fun... and he wasn't leaving for another day...

Stepping into the arena and clutching the katana on his left hip, Aimi stepped into the clouded light and called out, "Hey, are you the one wanting a good fight around here?"

[Ulyanin]

Clapping enthusiastically, Ulyanin was happy that someone had come to help him test out his new techniques; the way he clapped was a very childish manner that matched his appearance, which was further enhanced to be silly with his funny hat while clad in his pale brown cloak. After having given a gesture of respect towards his opponent, the odd wool head began to cast the rat, dog, and boar hand seals and slammed his hands into the ground so that the soil beneath his feet would liquify and become a field of mud that would expand to a size of 10 meters by 10 meters, with a depth that is also 10 meters. To buy time to complete his set up, the eager youth cast his Distracting Pattern Genjutsu which, if it succeeded in hitting his opponent, would create an image that would be universally distracting to him while he made rat and boar hand seals to allow him to maneuver in the mud.
