First post goes to Suro.

[The Asko]

((The Arena sucks, figured I'd make my thoughts known ^_~))

Indeed, Suro's pessimistic attitude knew no bounds as she found herself in a circular room which shouldn't have been considered indoors considering the holes in the wall and ceiling. Suro's outlook on this whole ordeal had not changed since the beginning, this was simply another troublesome day, another troublesome fight that she didn't plan on losing. However, her plans didn't always stay as they were supposed to and she would no doubt regret her arrogant thoughts eventually. Suro brushed a strand of white hair out of her eyes as as she ran her other hand over one of the four pillars that stood pointlessly in the room, her eyes assessing the area and it's advantages and disadvantages. She remained beside the pillar as she surveyed the room.

It wasn't dark enough. There was no real lighting, but rather sinlight that shown through the holes in the walls. Darkness was an advantage that could no longer be obtained unless she covered them. Suro rubbed the sole of her shoe on the ground, finding that as she did so some of the floor came off into a dust. The floor (and walls) were all made of a clay, or dirt in her eyes which was a thick advantage considering her arsenal.

In addition to this, sound created by anything in the room would not ricochette off the walls but simply hit her sense heightened ears in the exact direction they came from which was a thick advantage. There were also no lights or possible lighting in the room other than the windows, somehting she noticed from her quick survey.

Suro knew very little about her opponent, not even a name. However, this was no matter as Suro was a self proclaimed master at improvisation, expecially when she was fighting alone and not in worry that others would get in the way, she only worried at how dar she could go before she was ordered to stop. With a slight smirk she bid her farewell to the light and formed a few handseals, not bothering to look for her opponent just yet as the sounds of his breath told her exactly where he was.

Performing Doryuu Heki, she would form a wall of thick mud from the clay brick over all of the windows, including the one in the ceiling, blocking all light out of the room. Suro's smirk widened as she scanned the room again, her eyesight unaffected by the pitch darkness which now engulfed the circular area. She remained close to the pillar, knowing that unless he had some sort of jutsu which could allow him to see through the darkness he would be forced to rely on his ears alone to win this fight, something that the average human couldn't do.

((Take not that there is no wood in the room to light a fire, the room is simply clay brick from the photo given. The room is pitch black, this means no sunlight from the outside and there are no sources of light in the picture. Last of all, good luck.))
_________________________________

Doton - Doryuu Heki (Earth Wall)
Rank: "B" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: The user is capable of performing a wall of mud like form which is used as a defensive like technique. Depending on how well the user knows the Doton Soushi no Jutsu (Rock Creation Technique), is dependent on how much the user is capable of producing in a distance manner in a defensive manner.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: The user must touch the ground in order to use this technique. When the user is capable of reaching "A" Class the knowledge of placing their hands onto the very ground becomes obsolete, and the user is capable of performing the technique without having their hands along the ground.
Description: The user uses a technique similar to that of Doton Doryuu Taiga (Earth Flow) in which the user creates a flow of chakra forming the very ground into a mud like substance. By doing so the user then quickly lifts the very mud up into the air as it is formed into a more of a defensive manner in which is used against verious types of techniques and especially melee like weapons. Depending on the rank of the Doton Soushi no Jutsu (Rock Creation Technique) is what allows the user the capability of how much of a defense the user is capable of producing.
Limit: Needs the Earth Release. Must know Doton Soushi no Jutsu (Rock Creation Technique), Doton Doryuu Taiga (Earth Flow)

Quick question, since Asko missed her deadline do I ignore her post as if I was first?

[adero]

OOC: (Starting from outside the arena and a bit away) Italics are thoughts.

As Nyzu would exit from his odd excursion of the Intermissions Room his eyes would shift about. The wind blowing gently outside fleeting glances would reveal to him a crowd gathering about the announcement board. Striding over slowly he would wait for the crowd to dissipate. Finally shifting himself towards the board a pale white finger would sliver down the page as he realized it was the next round of matches for the exams. A puzzled smirk would cross his face upon reading the names.

“Nyzu Vs Suro”

Unsure of who his opponent was he shrugged and sighed to himself. Quickly grabbing a pamphlet containing precious directions, he would begin to approach the stadium. Pausing along the way he would slip quickly into a back ally, one where shadows vanquished the light and all was dark. Feeling his back pocket, out of sight and unseen, he would quickly prick his thumb with a regular senbon. Smearing the miniscule drops of blood across the unrolled scroll, crimson tears would streak across. A mysterious but gentle smoke to be blow away by the wind would rise and vanish leaving the mysterious puppeteer unseen. In his stead lied a somewhat larger figure draped completely in black. A smooth bare forehead would be exposed as a black facial mask covered the entity. Satisfied, Nyzu would swiftly exit the ally and all that one would be able to see was perhaps the figure of a giant lumbering elderly man.

OOC: (Arriving to the arena.)

As Nyzu began to lumber toward the arena he would stop just outside the doors where he would be unable to be heard Washing away the last traces of blood from his body he would swiftly discard of the cleansing materials and resume his focus. Staring upon the entrance, eyes would shift at the odd display. It seemed that this location… was more isolated, rather abandoned. Sighing, a cold puppet hand would raise itself with the man inside. Gently pushing the door open he would find himself greeted by a slowly descending ramp into darkness. Entering and leaving the door behind him, he would find himself descending farther and farther although lights were not dissipating. Wondering if whether he was decreasing in elevation or not he shrugged the thought only to the light ahead beginning to dissipate. The torches lighting up the hall seemed to reveal a hole of some sorts, perhaps the entrance of the arena, which seemed to be a room that was growing pitch black. The figure of a woman would be spotted vanishing into the darkness, her complexion now memorized in Nyzu’s eyes. Upon stopping at the doorway, Nyzu would set foot just inside and enough to be fully in the arena. Unable to see much or nothing at all he would shrug and silently continue to watch about him.

Perhaps if I cannot see well, nor can they? No matter, the darkness shall end.

Saying nothing at all, Nyzu would begin to gather two small balsl of chakra into his palms. In doing so the hollowed arms and wrists of his puppet would allow the chakra ball to be conveyed through the arms. Swiftly with a glowing light the odd spheres would exit from the puppet’s body illuminating the room for only a brief moment, one long enough to catch a glimpse at the girl. As he caught yet another glimpse, the balls would disperse, each hovering with amazing speeds to perhaps 10 meters before him, each placed at a 45 degree angle from his perspective. The balls would then gently pop, each scattering about the room and successfully covering an entire ¼ of the arena, the ¼ nearest to Nyzu and where he stood.

The field now astrewn with chakra strings before him, upon the pillars, upon the floor, and the walls, and with the exit behind him he would begin to get a feel for his surroundings. Two invisible chakra strings connected to all the rest (All chakra strings are invisible unless a puppeteer, hyuuga, or one has a technique to see chakra), would lead to his palms, one leading into the puppet on each to respective wrists. Upon the strings falling to the ground Nyzu would begin to understand the field. Each string due to touch would allow him to visualize and understand the field from his mastery of the arts. Now obtaining a masterful vision of the field he began to see the pillars, the mud caking the walls and much more (such as the flights of stairs for a missing audience etc), yet no sign of the girl. Perhaps she infested the rest of the arena? Either way, the field was set, the players readied, the games were to begin.

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
---Jounin -1 orb creates a covering roughly 100 sq meters large

Normally I would ignore small details such as these but seeing as this is the Chuunin exams I want to get all the information here.

1. I want a staffer (other than you) to confirm that this "chakra orb" makes any visible light seeing as in the description of the jutsu it doesn't say anything about that yet in your post you said it did.

2. In the description of your jutsu it states that the jutsu lasts for "a period of time." I want to know how many posts your jutsu lasts.

3. These chakra strings are connected to YOU so it's a given that anything you do should affect the location and layout of the chakra strings. How does his movement affect the chakra string's location and ability to defer where I am?

((I'll post when these questions are answered under the assumption that my time period to post is now frozen.))

EDIT: Another question here...

4. Is he allowed to "prep himself" for the fight before even entering the arena?

Just a question.

[adero]

1. I'll pm pandoru.

2. " 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."

As long as I dam want.

3. only one strand is connected to me, in this case, one to each wrist. My movements will effect this naught because theyre so loosely strewn about the room ive got plently of slack to move. these suckers arent taunt, meaning this movement doesnt effect my ability to locate you.

4. Yes I am. Technically I coulda just prepped myself outside of the arena thread, but you woulda been like "wtf?!?! you never said this!" Im saving you the trouble of wondering when the hell did that happen.

[👺 Usiel]

Alright, I don't get invovlved into this but apparently I kind of have to. First off, its accustomary for RPers to not even do a Jutsu within the first round. Its about...respect, observing as to what the person looks like its so then the people have a taste of what to expect to come. Shame on both.

Alright now then. Fourth question I will just say hell no >_>. I mean come on, if that should be allowed then quite honestly I would have came in here a day before the actual battle and like placed some traps to f**k with the opponent.

1st question From what I see here it does not say anything about a light, however if Adero says it lights I guess it lights but it can't be a dramatic light to disrupt the opponent because nothing in the Jutsu states that.

2nd question. I wish to know how long it lasts too to be honest, though the Jutsu does not give that information.

3rd. I need Pandoru to answer this one cause I honestly would not know how to answer that one


Reason for Editing: I like how she says someone other then adero and Adero posts

[hige]

Thankyou Heero, your assistance is much appreciated.

Adero, when I said a staffer other than you... I mean for all of the questions as everyone knows you'll just answer to benefit yourself.

Seeing as there were many questions left unanswered I guess we'll need to wait for Pandoru or Himiko to answer some questions (seeing as she's the "God of Puppets") and then you'll need to edit your post, Adero.

[adero]

You wanted a quick explanation, I gave you one. Easy enough? No need to be snide, nor snippy, or accuse me of bias. Thats simply how I percieve them not as a competitor, but as a puppeteer. I find your accusal offensive.

As for Heero, jutsu was used my first round because she did. I dam well know u really shouldnt use jutsu outta respect, but if I'm shown none, I give none. She set up the field, I did like wise =/

I'm gonna refrain from further comment I suppose, seeing as its deemed bias. Pming panda and himiko as we speak.

[👺 Usiel]

Don't care, still blaming both of you, now enough of it, and I want both to stop attacking each other. Or else I will make you guys start over from the top, without any preperation, on a chakra less field, only hand to hand.

[pandoru]

Man, introductory posts and already conflict o-o Let's see...

1. It's been displayed a few times that chakura tends to 'glow' or give off a soft light, depending on what the properties of it happen to be. I do not think, however, that this light is significant enough to give out major details. I see a chakura 'glow' about as bright as a lit match. Meaning, it's gonna need to be close for you to even get a silhouette of anything significant.

2. 'As long as he wants' is... actually a pretty accurate answer. Though it might seem unfair that it doesn't have a limit, neither does Kugutsu no jutsu- the basic creation of chakura threads that allows the control of a puppet. This takes less chakura than that basic technique. There are a few other jutsu used for locating the opponent that also don't have turn limits. 'Sonar' for example. These threads do not harm or attack in any manner- they just send messages to help pinpoint your location.

3. I'm going to say that this is based entirely off of the distance he has in Kugutsu no Jutsu. If the distance he sent the balls away uses up all of the distance he knows, then the threads are taught, and his movement will effect their placement. Should he have more distance, he can create slack, and be able to move freely.

4. People conveniently have Kunai laced with tags before matches begin. =/ Nothing prevents them from having a sword drawn, and thus nothing should prevent them from summoning a puppet before hand should they really desire to.

Something I don't approve of is how you both seem to have started this battle by preparing the field to your liking, before the proctor has even given any kind of signal to begin. Did you... forget he was there or something? You guys haven't just been thrown into a dark pit for no reason- you're being observed. Like Heero stated, what's to keep someone from popping into the arena early and just setting up a bunch of traps?

No actions can be done until you're told to start, and no signal was made in either post. In my eyes, you both need to edit.

[::Himiko::]

Panduro = Pwn lol

In regards to the chakra string pollution, and chakra strings in general, Panda is absolute right. In normal circumstances, chakra strings do give off a very very dim glow. (So eloquently put, a dim match).
Light from outside sources, such as sun light or bright lights for that matter do over shadow this light, (same the effect on the sun and stars. The suns overwhelming sunlight blankets dim starlight).
Chakra strings can be seen with the right settings (ex: very low light, cave like settings etc.)
BUT also keep in mind that a skill puppeteer can also suppress there chaka input to there stings to further decrease visibility even more (such as the case in which Chiyo hampered the movements of Sasori's Hiruko, without him noticing).

With this in mind, in the case of chakra strings pollution; the mass amount of strings created do not use the same amount of chakra as normal strings, thus they are even harder to see in this case. Once interfered with, they send a relay message and thats that. Also keep in mind that they are also weaker too. They break far easier and are destroyed easier as well. (which is why one would create numerous chakra strings to compensate for that as well as allowing for multiple strings which derive messages)

Yea, i said my peace X___x

Ps: i will delete this post in a matter of a day or so, to keep the seixiness of this battle on
Pps: I always thought the glow was for dramatic effect panda XD
but your right tho...just...wish it wasn't T-T
Ppps: Thanks Kyouto XD i'll take that as a complement

[hige]

Okie dokie, like to thank both of your for clarifying things for me ^_^ (doesn't know jack about puppetry).

On a minor note, with this jutsu, is it covering a 2D area like just the floor, or is this stretched out throughout the arena?

EDIT: Do you guys want us to start over due to our lack of respect for each other in starting the fight without introductions? Or just continue anyway?

[pandoru]

I believe the threads are capable of attaching to anything within the area they're 'popped' in. So mostly the floor, but some threads can stick to the walls and pillar, should they be in range I suppose.

And... let's just continue. You've both done things to try and alter the field in your favor. Consider it a freebie I suppose.

---

With the contestants obviously more than ready, the proctor dropped his hand. "Hajime!"

[The Asko]

Suro watched as her opponent entered into the room, across the arena from her. Her deep brown eyes watched him slowly, a sickly smirk spreading across her face as she saw him look around himself. After she disappeared it was her guess that his eyes never truly focused on her after that, thus she deduced that he most likely was unable to see her, at least not yet. As soon as he was stepping into the arena and spotted her where the light had disppeared, she stepped behind the pillar, matching her step which was practically silent with his step into the arena just to be sure that he no longer knew her location.

Now behind her pillar she stood, slowing her breathing down in order to think and plan her next few moves with extreme care. Suro glanced to her left as the wall behind her was cast over with a dim glow for a split second. She raised an eyebrow and waited for some sound, or smell, to tell her of the aftermath of what he had just done. Seeing as she was entirely unfamiliar with whatever justu he had just performed, puppeteering or not, she decided that keeping distance would be the best strategy with this opponent.

When Nyzu glanced to catch a glimpse of Suro where she had stood when the light left the room he would see nothing, no silouhette, just the dirt brick wall.

Upon a second thought she guessed that the glow that had illuminated the arena for a moment might have been his way to check her location... but there were better ways to do that. Suro debated herself for only another moment before frowning and giving up, deciding that long range was the best bet regardless from the looks of that giant "doll" he'd brought with him.

Suro in fighting was one of both offense and defense, however in a fight where she knew little of her opponent it was always better to sit defense and counter attacks. With this in mind she decided to go for a little test of her opponents reactions. Slipping up her left sleeve with ease she rested her right hand on the black amplifier on her left arm. Focusing her Sound Release through the peice of equipment she brought forth the intended frequency, one that she herself could not hear but was hell on the average human ears.

The sound was high pitched, a screaming buzz that was intended to draw pain in both the victim's ears and cause a terrible migraine. Right now she was simply looking for distraction and crippling her opponent whilst finding out a little about him, rather than rushing at his face.

Inching slightly to one side she peered around the pillar to take a gander at her opponent, gaging his reactions.

[adero]

(Forfeit) RL problems atm. Srry for short notice.

[Chuunin Examiner 3]

Eh... just for the officialness of this. Suro wins. No autos, just leave. Nyzu exits before the match can continue etc.

[adero]

Yawning slowly Nyzu would pause. Turning without a word, his eyes darting about in the dark abyss, the mass of a puppet would shift and clank out of the door, marking his questionable exit.

[exit]
