2)Himiko Vs. Rowiden

[Ren]

First person to enter gets to attack first. This arena is plain and simple it is made out of cement and is flat. There is nothing to hide behind on the arena. Good luck.

[::Himiko::]

Himiko entered to the cold and lifeless arena clutching her bundled puppet on her back, and arming herself for the fight to come. Hers hands sifted through her items pouches, moving any essential items to the top of the pouch of easier access. "My opponenet seems to be an Uchia that hail from Fire country...Mmmh....If he's anything like my partner, then i have the sharigan to worry about, as well as a strong line up of taijutsu to face and fire based techniques..... Heh....Should be just like fighting sparring with Murata" muttered Himiko to herself. "Judging by the size of the arena, i could pull out on top and have an advantage, but this might also work in his favor too" Himiko thought as she ran down a few calculations in her mind.

Himiko Stares down the entire arena, allowing her to gauge its specifications. From there, She takes a few long and deep breaths, allowing her chakra levels to peak. She was ready to fight....

[Kinz]

Rowidren entered the stadium and realized it was nothing but cement. THis wasn't good because now all of his earth based techs ment nothing. This would be a true test of his skill. He had his Banryu strapped to his back, along with all of the other weapons he carried. He wore a pair of plain pants and a plain shirt so as not to get his real cloths dirty. As he walked in to find another female as his opponent, Rowidren was a little distraught. Women were held in hi reguards with him. This one had an odd thing strapped on her back as well. "Greetings. Sorry for the delay. Nice ta meetcha. Names Rowidren. Good luck." He seemed a little frazzled. Maybe it was excitment, or the uncertainty but it was expected at the chunnins.

(The sharingan is my birthright ;D)

[::Himiko::]

"Greetings. Sorry for the delay. Nice ta meetcha. Names Rowidren. Good luck."The boy said, as he entered the arena.
"Save the greeting for another time, there is no room for that on the battle field" Himiko said sternly toward the young man.

Himiko had enough time to analyze her opponenet very quickly before the battle would begin. He carried a large sword, and various close combat weaponry with him, all visible to Himiko. "Just as i suspected, He is a close range tai combatant, and most likely will try to fight me as such. The sword he carries....crap....mmmh...." Himiko thought. With both genin now in the arnea, The examiner nodded his head, a sure sign for the fight to commence.

Himiko quickly grabbed 3 smoke bombs with her right and 1 light bomb and 2 more smoke bombs with her left, all of which she had prepared only seconds earlier [5/14 + 1/3]. Himiko proceeded to hurl the items at the genin. The set of light and smoke bombs would burst open first hopefully blinding the boy and covering the area around him with smoke. The other set of three smoke bombs were used to cover the remaining area around him, being thrown at his left and right sides.

Throwing so much smoke bombs into the cement arena should provide a thick covering of black smoke, enough to engulf the entire room and servilely cut visibility in the arena for a few minutes as the smoke remained. Himiko would waste no time from there on, and take off dashing back either to the left or right, depending of the boys counter actions. He wouldn't be able to perform any jutsus in time and land any, due to the speed at which the area was being filled with smoke, any projectiles as well, could be easily dodged by Himiko as she moved.

{roughly 3 seconds}

In addition, Himiko channeled chakra to both the soles of her feet and her hands, allowing her to move silently and remain hidden. Himiko dashed silently to increase the distance between the two, performing her jutsu at the same time. She gathered and released a small orb of chakra that she had built while moving. The orb would fly over to the center of the arena and pop, allowing her to ''see" all that could not be seen with human eyes, within a 25 meter radius. Her chakra strings flooded the area, blanketing the floor with invisible strings. The slightest step across any of them would allow Himiko to know where her opponent was at all time. Himiko set the stage for her puppet technique, as well as Giving her the greatest advantage in battle, the advantage of of information...

{rest of the time}

Name: Otonai no Jutsu (No Sound)
Rank: E
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Silent walking
Special: Snake handseal
Drawback: None
Description: Focusing chakra to the bottoms of his feet, much like walking on water, the ninja can walk or run over any sort of surface using this chakra as a sort of cushion for his feet, allowing him to move without rustling over leaves or stepping on twigs. This Jutsu only masks the feet, and things that the user may step on. No other part of the body.
Limit: Anyone can learn.

Chakra Sutoringu Porixyu-Shon (Chakra String Pollution)
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu, supplementary
Effect: Users launches a small orb of chakra from his/her hand. The orb is attached to a single chakra string leading back to the user. The balls flies in any chosen direction and "pops". From the orb popping, multiple charka strings are created, which blankets an entire area for a period of time.
Special: (see below)
Drawback: Can be seen by users with chakra seeing abilities. Can be cut or exhausted.
Description: Very useful to any puppeteer. A small amount of chakra is sacrificed to create the orb. The orbs moves quickly from the center of the users palm, where it is created. A single string remains attached to the orb and it is sent flying outward. The orb pops and breaks up into multiple chakra strings. The strings scatter and form a large web-like design, all of which can return to the single chakra string leading back to the user. The user connects that main string to a certain body part, which helps free the hands once again. A puppeteer must train very hard to understand a "relay message" that is channeled through the single chakra string. Anyone who passes the through or on the string sends this relay message through the chakra strings and back to the user. This helps the puppeteer know the were about of enemies within the area and remain hidden. The strings created do not require the same amount of chakra as normal strings and only require a small amount of chakra to be maintained.

Chakra String Pollution Ranks
Genin- 1 orb creates a covering roughly 25 sq meters large
Chunin- 1 orb creates a covering roughly 50 sq meters large
Jonin -1 orb creates a covering roughly 100 sq meters large

Limit:Must be puppeteer.

[Kinz]

Rowidren was taken aback by the comment the konoich had made. He was just trying to be polite, but he understood why she might be unwilling to act the same. As Himiko started the match off with a "bang", Rowidren was caught by surprise. The light bomb exploded causeing a brilliant flash of light. The light bomb had caught him off guard and Rowidren squinted and put his hands to his face to try and shield his eyes further. While blinded he heard some sort of hissing sound (smoke bombs releaseing smoke) He had no clue what it was. Even though his eyes were blinded, his sense of smell caught the wiff of smoke. "damn, smoke bombs too? This girl has already thought out some sort of strategy in this sparce arena.", thought Rowidren. What would he do?

After a few seconds, Rowidren was beginning to gain some of his vision back. He had no idea where Himiko had gone, and now the arena was full of smoke. Hmmm, what can I do. Realizing that Himiko probably had some sort of plan, Rowidren knew he needed to move cautiously, but he also needed to get rid of this blasted smoke. How was the question. Hopeing it would work, Rowidren pulled Banryu's weighted chain out of the hilt and began spinning it above his head (probably hit a few of your chakra strings, but I will hit them all over the place with the chain, scewing the results). The 10 foot long weighted chain would act much like a fan. Though it wouldn't clear much of the arena, it would give him a small area of visibility, enough to see incoming attacks. If only he could use his earth techniques this match would be a lot simpler. But that is part of being a ninja, learning to work with what you have.

[::Himiko::]

As the smoke dispersed, Himiko could make out the distinct sound of something whirling, as if it was a fan of some sort. The speed at which the sound was produced and its location further gave away Rowidrens positions in the smoke. "Excellent" Himiko thought. "He was too busy on focusing on removing smoke then attacking. He seems to be completely dependent on his eyes then, perfect" Himiko thought to herself. She thought, with enough luck, the match would be completed as soon as possible. The quicker the better.

Though his strategy prove to be working, Himiko could sense her chakra strings on the floor being broken up a little, but unfortunately for him, there were such a large amount disrupted about the arena, that a few gone here and there did nothing much. It was time for Himiko to begin her counter response. While Crouching now, her left hand entered he bag and she proceeded to toss an additional smoke bomb toward the vicinity of Rowidren, replenishing any smoke that had been blown away[6/13]. With her right, she grabbed her bundled puppet from her back and gave it an quite over head tossed , unraveling it, and connecting five chakra strings from her finger tips to her puppets body as it spun out. Puppet control, established.

{3 secs}

Himiko allowed her puppet to continue to hover in the air, moving toward Rowidrens location. She expected him to hear her puppets rattle, thus removing focus off of her as well. She also expected him to either guard and protect himself from an incoming attack, hearing the noise of the puppet draw closer and closer. Himiko realized, that to wield such as large sword, would require the use of both his hands, so her predictions of an attack would be farther verified.
In that instant, as her puppet Suzume got within striking distance of Rowidren, She sent pulses down her five puppet strings, and also reconnected her other puppet strings from her right hand. The pluses of chakra would create puppet doppelgangers (clones) from the smoke and particles present in the air. The strings produced a pulse of chakra around the puppet, and soon three simple clones would appear all of which moved downward, and her puppet moving upward.

The battle tactic for her puppet and its clones would be that of allowing the clones to punch and strike Rowidren directly. Two heading at his sides, and one to the middle as the smoke around him was slowly trying to clear. Himiko expected the boy to attack the clones directly, swinging the sword about, and striking them all down. What he would not expect hopefully, was that the clone were a diversion. Her true puppet would be a few meters above the arena, and was going to pelt Rowidren with a flurry of kunai and senbon as it held its arms out and head in his direction. The assault of projectile were aimed toward his head: 5 senbon needles targeting his head, while a set of 2 kunais from both arms covering his sides, so that he may not move in an escaping fashion or attacking his feet.

With enough luck, he would attack the doppelgangers, but not be fully protected against the projectile assault to follow....
Or get hit by everything....

Drawback:---
Description: A special poly-thread cloth made specifically to add extra defense for a puppet. Hugs tightly around the puppets body. The cloth is made from a combination of durable thread, tri-layering (both of fabric ans stitching) and various metal based fabric (meaning there a little bit of metal in each cloth). This type of thread is easy to create, (mass) manufacture, and repair. Due to the fact that there is a little bits of metal placed in the structure of the fabric, its not so easy to grab a hold of. The fabric makes little to no noise in the wind, thus the puppets stealth ability is not jeopardized (black colors may even help in stealth). The cloth adds "2 C-ranked" defense per size of the puppet. After that, the cloth rips and shreds.

Kugutsu no Jutsu, (Puppet Technique)
Rank: "C"; "B" ; "A" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: The Ability where the user controls a puppet with strings of chakra. The puppet is capable of attacking an opponent with any weapons hidden inside of it. This technique is effective from long distances since the chakra strings can extend; they are also invisible, so the puppet can be used from a hidden location.
Special: Must be a Puppeteer
Drawback: Must be learned multiple times in order for the distance to increase. The more objects or Puppets used, the distance decreases, this means that if you have two puppets with a hundred meters of distance each puppet can go at a maximum of fifty meters each.
Description: The user is capable of controlling a puppet depending on the distance of the puppet. If the puppet surpasses a certain distance then the chakra strings simply disconnect leaving the puppet down along the floor. The Chakra strings can not be seen by regular eyes but those who have the capability of seeing chakra can truly notice such a technique. When first learned the technique allows the user a maximum of ten meters of distance. After each time learned the user can increase the distance of Ten Meters. When the user reaches up to a hundred meters then it is harder for a user to gain more distance so the training would go up to a B Rank training as the distance increases Ten Meters every time learned. After three hundred Meters, then the training becomes more difficult once more as the training ranks up to A Rank, at this moment the distance is unlimited.
Limit: Must be known multiple times.
Know 20 meters

Ningyou Kage Nijuushin (Puppet Shadow Doppelganger)

Drawback: A puppet clone cannot use projectiles and are restricted to punches, kicks and slashes. A puppet clone disappears with sufficient contact. Limited amount of clones. Limited distance.
Description: Once the hand seals are completed, a flash of light or puff of smoke miraculously splits the puppet into additional puppets. These doppelganger puppets have substance and form (created by particles in the air, dust, etc. Just as any other normal clone) which allows them to use simple attacks. In addition, these doppelganger puppets share the same chakra strings as the original puppet, this is due to the fact that the puppet strings of the original puppet also splits, but into weaker chakra strings. A puppet doppelganger may not travel to far from the original puppet.
Doppelganger ranks:
"C ranked"- create up to three doppelgangers puppets. Restricted to move only 10 meters from original puppet.
Limit: Must be a puppeteer.

[Kinz]

Rowidren had finally dispersed most of the smoke thanks to his weighted chain. He had just pressed the button to retract the chain when another one of those stupid smoke bombs came and eruptedd in front of him. "Damn things, i guess she aint gunna let me see her again." thought rowidren as he tried to think of another plan. "Well, if i can't see her to make a precise attack, I guess I'll just have to hit everywhere." He quickley pressed the button on Banryu and retracted it's weighted chain.

With that, Rowidren would form a couple of quick handseals and then took a deep breath and fired a ball of fire into the air, where it expanded into a cloud. He lifted, and held Banryu above his head as a shield against the insueing devestation. Then, Rowidren thought the word "release", and a down poor of golfball shaped fireballs would fall from the sky. Rowidren would be protected from them underneath his Banryu, and he hoped that Himiko wasn't. Just as the fire began to rain down, 3 shadows began moving through the smoke. Luckly, the fire hit the area they were in before they could get to him, and they vanished. "Hmm, some sort of clones. What is this girl doing?" thought Rowidren. As he thought this he heard a bunch of metallic sounds above him. Then he saw a couple of senbon and kunai fall from on top of Banryu. "Good thing this makes for a good shield too", thought Rowidren, a little to soon it seemed because as he thought this 2 kunai implanted themselfs in the front of his thigh, he cringed in pain. Another two had wizzed by his legs and had left some cuts, but the 2 in his legs where what he worried about. Resting Banryu on his head and removing his left hand, he snatched the the 2 kunai out of his legs, and oicked up the five senbon then placed them in his pouch. Then he replaced hs left hand and continued holding the Banryu up, protecting himself from the flames. Removing the kunai had hurt more then explainable, and now he had 2 cuts on his legs, and another 2 deep wounds, all of which were releaseing blood quite well. There was nothing he could do about it at the moment, so he would just have to wait and hope he could withstand the battle with the wounds.

Katon: Ame Hinote no Jutsu (Fire Element: Raining Flames)
Rank: "C"
Description: Whether blowing a ball of flame or having it created through another source, the user molds it into a ball of flame, and tosses it in the air. The ball of flame expands into a cloud, and at the user’s command, will being releasing “drops” of flame upon the opponent. The flames are approximately the size of golf balls.
Limit: Uchiha Technique

[::Himiko::]

Himiko could see a distinct glowing flame in the dimming smog. "He seems to finally using some of his fire jutsus, just as i predicted" Himiko thought. The ball of fire grew, but surpirsed her as it bursted and unleashed small fireballs. Luckily, her distance did help her avoid the small fire balls, that blazed through the smoke, but she couldn't avoid them all. One fire ball would come in striking distance of her left arm, while another would partially strike her left hip. The one that passed her arm, would singe her cloth, and leave her with a very minute burn. The one that almost struck her hip, would leave her a small 1st degree burn, with her clothing providing a little protection and singing a bit. Himiko bit her lip, and took the pain, as she disconnected her chakra string and applied pressure on the small wound. With her right, she was able to pull her puppet back a little, but still keep it in the area of Rowidren; as well as maintaining string pollution. "F**k, i don't seem to be bleeding...I can deal with this". Himiko thought. At the same time, she could clearly hear the obvious sounds of metal on metal. "Crap...Did he block my attack?" Himiko thought.

"He doesn't seem to have moved much either ,...well...time to up the ante a little" Himiko thought. With a few steps, Himiko positioned herself a little closer to her target, but not enough to allow for any close combat to commence (Roughly 40 feet away now). At the same time, with her left hand free, Himiko moved her hand toward her pouch, grabbing 2 kunia with exploding tags placed on them [2/6 + 2/22]. With her left, Himiko proceeded to throw the kunai, one aiming at directly at Rowidren vicinity, the other, at his feet. With enough luck, the detonation would servilely damage his feet or body. In addition, the blast should be able to knock him back a little or at least rough him up a bit.

[2 secs]

Still having chakra string control with her right hand, Himiko commands her puppet to still move around to Rowidrens back side. She was expecting some kind of back movement which will allow her puppet to attack Rowidren from the back side. It would release five more senbon needles at him, fired in a straight horizontal line from the head. With luck, His back would be badly pierced. To make things worse, Himiko had spent a little additional chakra into her puppet through her strings, allowing her to suppress all the sounds it was creating. Her puppet had created no more sounds ever since Himiko reached for her weapons. Both Himiko and her puppet were now completely invisible to Rowidren in the smoke that remained, and on the offensive.

[remainder]

Himiko calculated some information during the entire process. "Mhh...I believe i am at around 85% in my chakra reserves....not to sure what kind of consumption was drawn from the fire attack.....crap....I need to finish this thing already...Mhhhp..the smoke is still thick in the area, which would buy me a few more seconds of time in the shadows....Still got a lot of ammo in my Suzume still...."

[Satu Akira]

Alright, it depends on the angle exactly, was it form a 90 degree angle , or a 60 degree ?

[Kinz]

Rowidren's cloud of fire had dissapated and he let Banryu fall to his side. The rain of fire had slightly dissapated the smoke, but he still had no idea where Himoko was. "This girl was good at staying out of sight", thought Rowidren, "Well, might as well get as good a view as possible." With that, a pool of red with a single black dot formed in his eyes. His birthright. The sharingan.

Right after activating the sharingan, Rowidren saw a disterbance in the smoke. It wasn't anything special, just an odd swirling. Like something was moveing....."SH**T!!" Rowidren had just enough time to place Banryu in front of himself. Just as he did, 2 kunai hit it and erupted in an explosion. Rowidren was sent flying backwards, and Banryu was sent flying away from him to the edge of the arena. As he flew backwards he felt an extreme stinging pain in his back. "Arghhhhh!" yelled Rowidren in pain. After flying through the air for a moment and then planted his hands in the ground and did a couple of back hand springs, landing on one knee. He felt towards his back and felt 5 senbon lodged there. Good thing senbon didn't kill with one shot, but they did hurt like hell, and he was already losing blood. He had plenty of chakra, but would his body hold up was the question.

After gaining his composure, Rowidren relized that he could see 2 things. The first was that there was a whole bunch of chakra strings all over the arena. The second was that he could finally see Himiko. The explosion from the kunai had blown the smoke away. The chakra strings were leading right back to her. "Now I see." said Rowidren quitely. He was not gunna miss this opportunity. Without a seconds warning, Rowidren jumped back a few steps and formed a long string of handseals then began spinning, then released from himself a giant electrical dragon. The dragon would surge towards Himiko, and hopefully would hit. Whether or not it hit, Rowidren would follow up by running at Himiko with his 2 bladed knuckle busters drawn and send a shaking punch at her. He would not lose her again.

[Satu Akira]

The ninja does a long string of hand seals which then causes a bolt of lightning to drop from the sky.

I'm pretty sure he doesn't need a cloud, as it probably forms by itself.
Also, it is possible to do a long string of handseals in the air, but at your level TP HIGHLY unlikely you can do it at that speed.
Considering you didn't really imply you used your chakra to jump extremely high into the air. I must say that you simply jumped up and down, as forming the handseals... which would look odd...

[::Himiko::]

With an explosion, and a gust of wind, a majority of smoke had been blown away in the arena. A clear path was now visible through the smoke, and Himiko can witness the damage she had dealt to Rowidren. "Excellent, he should be down now" thought Himiko. "Those senbon should have finished him off aswell". With a few pulls of her chakra strings, Suzume would return to Himiko's side once more. Himiko knew that she could not let her guard down until defeat was confirmed, and looked on. Apparently, she was wrong about his defeat. Though Rowidren was very far from Himiko, She can make out the fact that he was standing up to fight once more. "Crap, why isn't he down?!?!" Himiko was puzzled as she began to disconnect her left hand from her puppet, and sift through her bag, preparing herself once more. She can notice a difference in the color of his pants, a stain of red. The boy was bleeding, and by the looks of it, he was, had or was going to lose a significant amount of blood. She continued to glance at the boy, and could distinguish a change in his body language as well as his facial expression. "Mmmhhp could he have the sharigan?....crap...I can't tell from this distance....mmmhhp. I must ready for the worse then" Himiko thought to herself. She knew that he will most likely force her into a close quarters fight now, and Himiko could not allow that to happen.

Suddenly, the young boy began to dish out a familiar set of long handseals. She could barely make out each handseal, but was able to read them nonetheless. "Crap he knows Thunder Dragon too? F**K!" Himiko thought as she knew she had only fractions of a second to react now. She was very fortunate that the distance created between Rowidren and herself by the blast bought her a few additional seconds. She grabbed a handful of explosive tags [5/22] from her pouch and slammed them all upon the floor, imbuing them with chakra as she grasped them. Shortly afterward, a large and electrified dragon was released from the body of Rowidren, targeting young Himiko. She took a chakra fueled leap backwards, quickening her pace further. She positioned her puppet to stand in front of her, as she looked over its shoulder.
The dragon took no time to reach Himiko, and within seconds, the beast would be in striking distance. Himiko had commanded her puppet to stand and had propped herself on the back of her puppet, moving like crazy, freeing up her hands and performing the ram handseal shortly after. She knew that nothing was going to stop the dragon, but an explosion created by the tags as well as her puppets defense, would be sufficient enough to weaken the dragon, and put Himiko out of harms way. The dragon would be only a few feet away from Himiko as she detonated the tags; her shoulder propping her puppet like a wall. The explosion went off and created a tremendous upward force, demolishing a portion of the cement floor, attacking the dragon and sending Himiko and her puppet moving back even further. The blast did not fully stop the beast though, and her puppet would take its remaining attack.

Himiko could feel a jolt of electricity numbing her shoulder as she flew with her puppet, but her body would be saved from further harm. Her positioned had shifted to roughly the opposite edge of the arena now, and her puppet would have its legs damaged. Its frontal surface area and cloth would be charred black, but it would be battle able regardless. Himiko shook off what damaged she had received, and jerked her head forward to see what Rowidren was doing. It seems that he was charging forward now, ready to follow up his jutsu with close combat. She was lucky that her distance, the whole in the floor, and Rowidrens damaged legs would buy her some extra time before he would reach her.

She positioned her puppet roughly fifteen feet away from herself, commanding it to hold both its arms outward, ready to pelt the weakened Rowidren with kunia from both its arms. Himiko predicted that he could bypass this tactic with ease, and attempt to get close to Himiko, attacking her. But this is what Himiko wanted. She could perform a short distance replacement technique with her puppet, thus swapping places, and allowing the assault to switch to her puppet once more. Himiko then would pull her chakra strings vigorously and command her puppet to spin, thus expelling a large payload of needles and kunai at Rowidren. At that close of a range, and that amount of projectiles released, Rowidren will most likely be hit and hopefully finished all together...

Name: Kugustu Kawarimi (Puppet Replacement Technique)
Rank: C
Skill: Supplementary
Effect: Replaces the user with a puppet, usually moving him out of harm's way.
Special: Requires no hand seals
Drawback: If not careful, the user can place himself into a dangerous situation. It has a maximum range of fifteen feet.
Description: By using the connection between the puppet and the puppet master, the chakra string, the user can perform a sort of advanced Kawarimi that requires no handseals. It is faster than a normal replacement jutsu because the user can move himself and the targeted puppet at the same time as opposed to moving to a target and moving that target back to his original position. It can give the user an advantage when utilized in a surprise attack.
Limit: Must know Kugutsu no Jutsu (Puppet Technique)

Dangan Rasen (Bullet Spiral)

After the dust kicked up by the dragons explosion cleared, Rowidren had begun his charge only to be met with 2 things. The first was a barage (sp?) of kunai coming from a puppet. He could tell it was being controled by Himiko because the Sharingan allowed him to see the puppet strings connecting them. The second was the fact that there was a fairly large hole in the middle of the arena. Inside this hole Rowidren could see the dirt that was formerly covered by cement. That gave Rowidren an idea.

Abandoning his charge, Rowidren stopped in his tracks right at the edge (on his side) of the hole. His sharingan allowed him to easily see the trajectory of the kunai, and useing his bladed knuckle busters he knocked them away. He could feel the burning, throbbing in his legs and back growing. He was almost out of chakra too. This was gunna be a close call, but hopefully he could pull it off.

After deflecting the kunai, Rowidren quickley took 4 kunai out of his pouch and attached all 8 of his exploding tags to them (2 each 4/5 kunai, 8/8 exploding tags.). He hurled these tags across the stadium, none heading towards Himiko. two would head to the corners behind him, and 2 to the corners behind himiko. Then after activating them and causing a devestating explosion, that would hopefully give him some cover, he would form the familiar long strings of handseals and release the thunder dragon from himself again. He knew that he was running empty on chakra, but that would not matter in a moment. The dragon would surge towards Himiko and her puppet, but would not be aimed for them. It would try to hit the area of cement in between them, possibly doing a little damage but that was not the intent. As Rowidren fell down from a combination of exhaustion and pain, he would fall into the bottom of the dirt hole. Just as he hit the ground with a thud, he reached his hand into his pouch and insert a soldier pill into his mouth (1/2). The pill tasted horrible, but from the start the effect were worth it. He felt his energy restored. The blood was still oozing from him but he would probably stay concious for a little while longer.

Still under the cover of the dust from the explosions, Rowidren would begin sinking under ground. There he would be unseen and ready to strike. After the smoke clears Himiko would be left to see 2 things, or rather left to not see 2 things. The first would be Rowidren, and the second would be the now obliterated cement floor. There was a few small pieces of debre here and there, but there battle field had changed. Now they fought on a dirt floor. Rowidren would bide his time under the ground while the pill finished its effect and restored his energy. Those B ranked techniques had taken their toll, he would have to lay off them for the moment. He deactivated his sharingan because of the lack of need for it. He could tell where Himiko was just fine thanks to the jutsu. He could tell where everything that was touching the ground was just fine. That puppet though...It had been hovering meaning he had no clue where it was. It would be a troublesom thing indeed.

[[.:Uchiha Obuza:.]]

In the description of the Lightning Dragon Tornado it says "The ninja does a long string of hand seals which then causes a bolt of lightning to drop from the sky." You are battling indoors so the lightning would....drop down from the sky, into the room you are battling in which leaves a huge hole on the ceiling which the lightning would strike through no one but two stories. Just to keep that in mind, kind of...massive.

[Kinz]

Who said we were indoors? It just says we are in an arena (meaning a wide open space designated for something), that is made of cement. It never said anything about there being a cieling. An judging by the fact that the last arena, and the one in the show had no cieling then it is reasonable to believe there is no cieling.

[spamato]

Those wounds...dude you shoulda passed out already. If the lightning attack is legal you are now very much in pain and on the ground, open to being finished. Himiko would have at the very least a full turn of immobility to just flat out put a knife at your neck. Besides other things pointed out the damage as of now should render you a limping mass with pain running up your back at every twist and arm gesture.

I would say your done for buddy. If you decide not to use the lighting jutsu then you might have a chance of trying to half assed first aid but for the most part taijutsu and skillful dodges are out of the question. I was called on by himiko, I never signed up to give a hand on the chunnin exams so I don't have any say but I will back up her argument that this guy is in pretty sad shape.

[Kinz]

I don't feel like argueing so I am just gunna give up cause these fights are becoming annoying. But here are my responses to your comments.

1) I did say that I was in pain, and that i was bleeding. A single kunai wound to each thigh would not incapacitate someone from moving, and it would take longer then then 6 seconds (litterally 6 seconds cause weve done 2 posts since the damage) to bleed out and pass out.

2) I did say how I was in pain and that the senbon were in my back. I can't reach them to take them out. But the thunder dragon thing, about the lightning rod, seems like it is just bs. I understand your idea about it, but come on. Why would it do that. You begin spinning and contain it within your spinning form. There for the electricity wraps around the outside of your spin. At least that is how I percieve it.

3) I kinda assumed people would realize that I put the knuckle busters away before doing the handseals and such, which was my bad. I assume people have common sense sometimes when they don't. I need to work on that.

4) What is it with people on this site and germs? Every battle I have seen where someone takes an injury and it touchs dirt or mud, their opponent is like "OMG germs!!!1! You should feel burning and infections, blah blah blah." That isn't how it works. Though I probably did get dirt and germs and what ever into the wounds, that doesn't mean I have any negetive effects yet. It takes at least a half hour, usually, for any visual signs of infection, and longer then that to really feel any burning or what ever.

5) The faster heart rate is actually helping me stay conciouse even though I am bleeding out. Adrenalin is causeing my high heart rate. That same adrenalin is also making me not realize my pain. There have been people who have been in car accidents, and broke every bone from their hip down, and walk away from it without knowing.

6) Implying is not god moding. God moding is when you unrealistically dodge, withstand or deflect an attack or something of the same nature. What I did was put to much faith in common sense, as said before.

7) Back on the subject of me bleeding, I did adress the fact that I was bleeding and wouldn't last much longer. If you'd have just posted one more time you would have ended up seeing me do something and then be incapacitated, and unconciouse do to blood loss, even though I dont need to. And by the way, leaving the senbon in my back actually slows that bleeding, why do you think peole who know first aide are supposed to bandage around any object causing a puncture wound. The first reason is because puling it out could do more damage, and the second is because it helps stop blood from exiting the wound.

8) And I didn't say that the battle field was completely changed. There is still some cement patches left, but mostly it is now dirt. Why can't a bunch of explosions destroy a cement floor? I've seen less destroy cement.

Reguardless of what ever i said here, you have been a kind opponent Himiko and i mean you no disrespect. Any comments here do not specifically mean you.


P.S. Don't argue with me about any of the medical stuff i stated. I can almost guranty that i have more medical training then anyone involved.

[::Himiko::]

Dust clears. Rowidren runs no more. Himiko was unsure what his plans were, she could have sworn he would be a little more predictable then this. "Mmhhhppp...guess plans don't always go as you hope they would. He was able to deflect the set of kunai that was shot at his direction, while sporting a pair of knucklebuster, "No more sword huh" thought Himiko. Her suspicions came true as well; his eye's gleaned red. "Mmhp, the sharigan, just like Murata" Himiko thought to herself as she got a good look at the boy as he stood at the edge of the hole. Himiko drew her puppet a little closer to her body and began to pump chakra some chakra to her legs. She was going to be prepared for an attack.

Rowidren began to reach for his pouch quickly now, and a surpirsed Himiko needed to act. She shifted her weight to her right side and was going to began to run like hell. From his pouch, Rowidren through a kunai, with a ridiculously amount of tags placed upon them. "Crap!, gotta run!" Himiko thought. Her chakra pumped into her legs allowed her to flicker [1/3] to her right with ease. Dodging the projectiles as they came to her. But dodging them were a little to easy, and Himiko thought it was usual that her threw a set behind him awell. She kept her eyes focused upon him at all times, trying to understand what he was doing.

The explosion were set off, and chunks of debris flew about the arena. Himiko had kept her puppet close to her in its defensive position and she needed to ponder what the hell the boy was doing. Rowidren began to perform the handseals for the thunder dragon once more, sending it toward her once more. Her distal advantage would prove to be aiding her once more, and Himiko prepared for the attack. There was a difference in the dragon though, and it almost seemed"weaker". Nonetheless,the dragon surged toward Himiko and her puppet, and she reacted. With her puppet in front of her, and the dragon surging forth, Himiko performs a kick to the back of her puppet, sending it hurdling to the dragon. Her puppet would absorbed the electrical dragon, just as before, and nullify its charge; a small burn/scorch mark would be left onto the floor and some small sparks would fly toward Himiko. The charges would rips through her right sleeve and cut her upper arm. Her puppet smoked and singed, but both its defense and cloth saved it once more. Himiko suffered a minor injury and was now bleeding.

It would be all worth it though as her puppet would save her life again. Himiko quickly gulped down a disgusting blood clot pill [1/2], and looked for Rowidren. "Crap, he used this all as a distraction!, where the hell did you go!?!?!" thought a puzzled Himiko. The pills would take effect very rapidly, clotting her arm and also giving Himiko a small boost of energy (due to more oxygen riched blood flowing in her body). Himiko peered around the arena, looking for Rowidren. "Genjustu? Flight? wtf?" Then it hit her. The arena has changed. Holes in the ground, five to be exactly in front of her now. "Could he be in the earth???" Himiko thought. "The arena had changed greatly since the battle began, it must be earth based jutsus" Himiko speculated.

She was fortunate to be on the side of the arena that was still intact with a cement floor. "If he has Doton techniques, then i should be safe... the cement in this area should be extremely difficult to control if i stay here......Crap, i can't let him recover as well" thought Himiko. She knew that her thunder techniques had an advantage, and she was going to show it now. Himiko allowed her puppet to rest upon the floor, and she dished out a set of long handseals. With a bolt from the sky, and a spin, she released a thunder dragon toward the center of the arena. With enough luck, the metal that Rowidren carried would turn him into an " electrical ground out", frying him if he was in the earth. The dragon would fly to the largest hole, and Himiko reconnected her chakra string, aiming her puppet at the remaining holes. She would assault him as he would resurface.

Himiko would send more kunia, and senbon then ever (using half her puppets reserves). The top of the holes, the remaining four, and he would be hit as he moved up. If her speculations were all right, then Rowidren possessed domino over fire, lighting and earth techs; earth especially, which he used to hide most likely. He was a tai fighter, as well as a ninjutsu user it seems. "Information is key to victory Rowidren....And i have gained the most knowledge over this entire fight...i just hope that this is not some gen that Im in..."

[Kinz]

Rowidren's soldier pill had finally taken effect. He felt his chakra reserves explode with strength. He just hoped it would be enough to Finish this in time. With the underground technique he could tell where Himiko was, and suddenly he also could sense a pile land on the ground beside her (When you tossed the puppet on the ground). WHat was she doing? No matter let's get this going before I can't anymore. Quickly forming a set of short handseals, Rowidren stuck his hands out in front of him. (I am underground, so are they) 2 fists made completely of the cement would shoot forward out of the ground around Himiko. (This is when you are spinning the lightning dragon) One fist would punch for her stomach, and the other would try grabbing her around the neck. Without a moments notice Rowidren's whole body would erupt in pain. Electricity was surging all around him.

From above the ground, any spectators would see Rowidren ripped out of the ground being swollowed by a giant dragon made of electricity. The pain was emense. He tried to move, but was paralyzed. He realized that the electricity was pumping into his spine. "ARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!" Rowidren's yell would easily be heard thoughout the land of tea. Suddenly, he was enveloped in darkness.

Anyone watching would see the dragon subside, and Rowidren fall like a lump out of the sky where the dragon had held him. His cloths were shreded, barely covering him enough to be considered decent. He was burned horribly bad, and had lost a lot of blood. This was the end for him. A group of medical ninja would be seen rushing towards him, and begin inspecting his wounds. "Match goes to Himiko!!" called a voice overhead, as the arena's onlookers would erupt in cheers. "Himiko, Himiko, Himiko." They would chant. No chanting for Rowidren. It was over. (If the rock hands hit then a med nin would have to smash the one around your neck, or your puppet. Nice match.)

(Exit Rowidren)

This can be used to grab the enemy, punch the enemy, strangle the enemy. Basically anything that can be done normally with the users arms can be done.
Limit: Technique can be canceled if the line in the ground is severed, either by the enemy interrupting it or if the user pulls his/her hands out. If done with too little chakra the user may be held into the ground.

[::Himiko::]

Rowirden had appeared from the earth, just as Himiko had suspected. He arose, badly burned, and exhausted. It would be over. The crowd cheered the young woman on, as groups of medics carried the boy away. Himiko was happy to know the fight was over. She held her wounds, applying pressure to them and giving the crowds a small wave.

She was never into receiving too much praise, nor let anything get to her. She panted a little, and drew her puppet to her, inspecting the damage it received and bundling it upon her back. "I'll fix you Suzume, as soon as we get home, all would be better again...thank you..." Himiko whispered to her bundle. She grabbed any ammo left by the puppet that was darted on the floor, and followed the medics as they left the arena.

With a smile upon her face, Himiko whispered "heh...chunin"....
She left the arena, and it was time to go home......
