Test 3 - Miyako vs. <Itsu> {4}

[Chuunin Examiner]

Test 3 – Preliminary Matches

[/u][/size]

The 20 remaining contestants would be led to what looked like a basic, square building. It was large, going up about 2 stories, and was 110 meters in length and width. They were arranged in the pairs that they were in during the tower, with the exception of one whose single partner was disqualified. An examiner would step forward and speak to the group.

’Congratulations on succeeding in passing the second round of the exams. Apologies that none of you could complete the tasks, but you have all moved on. Unfortunately… There are too many of you to continue to the 3rd Round finals… As such, we are holding a preliminary round first. The 20 remaining contestants will face off in one match. In the event of a draw, both members will be disqualified. Failing here prevents you from receiving the status of Chuunin, however, so keep that in mind and go for it all. During a match, you will all be on the outer edge of the arena.’

With that said, they were all led to the outer edge of the arena. More of the examiners stood around the ring. Half of them performed one set of handseals, while the other half performed a different set of handseals, in an alternating fashion. The second half finished first as a large barrier was set 10 meters away from the edge. The second half then finished their handseals and what used to be all cement floor changed drastically, with the exception of one meter of cement in between the barrier and the change. Television sets had been placed around on the outer walls which then turned on and showed the contestants what was going on. An overview of the place showed the following (Without the dots and the legend)



The examiner, from a higher ledge, yet on the same side they were being talked to before spoke once more.

’As you can see, There are 9 different sections of the arena. A windy section, with turbines kicking up the wind. An ice section, filled with snow and ice. A water section, that is completely covered in water with generated waves. A wooden section, filled with trees, leaves, and grass. A lightning section, filled with lightning rods, clouds, and lightning strikes. A fire section, filled with lava, fissures, and fires. A sound section, with deafening sound waves blowing around. A sandy section, filled with sand, sand, and more sand. And finally, in the middle… The earth section, filled with cracks, dirt, and stone. The middle section is where you will begin. Person 1 will start on the edge of the earth section near the ice section and person 2 will start on the opposite edge, near the fire section. The match-ups will be chosen at random.’

With those words said, the Televisions would switch to a name randomizer as the names would start to be chosen. The time to start this round would soon occur as the examiner said a few more words.

’Good luck and fight hard. If you cannot continue and wish to give up, say so and an examiner will stop the fight. Now then… Let the 3rd round preliminaries commence!’[/color]

With those words said, the name randomizer stopped on 2 names, examiners would usher those two through the barrier and to their location… The 3rd round preliminaries were now underway.

---

Now for the OOC stuff. The arena is 99 by 99 meters, a meter of cement (enough for like… your foot), and 10 meters behind a barrier that prevents attacks from reaching that area. Each individual section is 33 by 33 meters. The descriptions for the sections are above in the examiners words. Please be sure to follow them. You can go to any section you like, we just ask that you state which one you are in at the top of your posts like this [Earth Section] If you change sections during your post, please put the section you moved to like this [Fire Section].

As with the last round, there is a 2 day IIC for the participants. Examiners will post sporadically to change the field around and do not have a specific spot to post. If you have a problem with your opponent’s post, Please PM an examiner AND STATE IT IN YOUR THREAD. If you do not state it in your thread, the other person will not know you had a problem and after 2 days, will skip you. So state in your thread when you sent a PM to someone, and if you sent it to one examiner, then state which one. Each thread will have one examiner to look at it, but any can be PMed for assistance. The following is the people in this particular thread.[/center]

Miyako Emma-O

VS

Itsu Iko

[/size][/u]

These will be the examiners that will state random changes to the battle field (IE: Random wave in the water area, flare up in the fire area) Changes will only be stated for the sections you are in. If someone misses the IIC, then any attacks launched on them will be considered an Auto-hit. If it was a killing blow, then they are dead. If not, then they are just hit with the attack. Please wait for an examiner to explain the damage to them before posting again to say that they are skipped. Any examiner can make a call on the fight. The only reason there are examiners to watch over the threads is so they can make changes to the battlefield.

POSTING ORDER:
Miyako (Person 1)
Itsu (Person 2)
Examiner 4
Miyako (Person 1)
Itsu (Person 2)
Miyako (Person 1)
Itsu (Person 2)
(Examiner 4 posts sporadically)

Good Luck and hope to see you in the finals…

[Seira Kimura]

Miyako watched the field intently, listening for her name to be called. It appeared she would be up against a stone ninja. She thought that stone and leaf were enemies, she seemed to recall. But this was the Chuunin Exams, this was different... right?

She snorted in derision as she walked into the arena, towards the earth section, and stood on the side she was directed to. She looked around the interesting arena.

She stretched causally, her somewhat thick blood red leather creaking as she did so. Casting her eyes on her partner, Itsu as he was called, she smirked.

She wouldn't fail this, she told herself. She came to win, and that's what she would be doing, winning. She titled her head as she inspected him.

"Well, this will be... fun, won't it, stone-nin?" she sneered, resting her hands on her hips.

[Itsu Iko]

Itsu waits patently for his named to be picked for his fight, he stands looking at the large screen with his arms crossed. His name finally appears along with the name Miyako Emma-O, the name doesn’t ring a bell to Itsu and he simply uncrosses his arms and walks to the arena. He notices the different kind of environments and thinks that whoever made such a place was truly amazing. When he reaches the section that they are to start in he finally sees who is opponent is.

To Itsu she appears to be younger then himself but he knows not to underestimate people based on their age and appearance. He sees her ninja headband and sees that his opponent is from the leaf village an enemy village of stone. This doesn’t really effect him much and simply shrugs to himself and realizes that the section they will be starting on is earth. He grins to himself and anyone who is watching, since they will be starting on the section that suppose his mastery of earth release.

He keeps his eyes on the leaf ninja known as Miyako as she stretches causally in her red leather clothing. Itsu chuckles to himself as he thinks “She looks like a walking blood clot.” He sees her smirk and then tilt her head saying Well, this will be... fun, won't it, stone-nin?" He chuckles a little again and cracks his knuckles “My name is Itsu Iko, and yes it will be very fun.” He then remembers his manners and leans forward bowing respectfully to his opponent and raises back up "May the best ninja win," Itsu is now ready to begin the battle.

[Chuunin Examiner]

Stone vs. Leaf. Not the greatest of allies, and probably going to turn into a fairly amusing match. The examiner smiled slightly, eager to see some bloodshed and death, despite the fact that he was supposed to step in if it got too bad. Regardless, he simply said with a wave.

Begin![/color][/font]

[Chuunin Examiner 4]

OOC: Sorry I am so late to this exam. Continue the fight as you would. Every round please wait for my post giving verdicts on the battle and then allowing you to continue. Thank you.

[Seira Kimura]

Miyako smirked. She already knew his name from the board, but he told her anyway. She didn't tell him hers for that exact reason. She stood waiting in silence until the Examiner told the to begin.

She wasted no time as she quickly made the appropriate hand seals for her jutsu. The chakra she let form in her left hand turned into heat. She was pointing towards Itsu, right above his left shoulder.

She was aiming to hit him. She actually had doubts that it would make contact. At the last second after feigning aiming to his left, she moved her hand towards the right shoulder, above it by about a millimeter. Immediately a ball of flame about a foot wide came hurtling out of her hand.

It was just the beginning of the fight, she wasn't too sure how to start it out. She pulled out her scimitar.

Description: The user performs the Handseals, converting chakra within the hands into heat energy. The hands are then pointed towards a target and a small bolt of fire, no larger than a foot in diameter, leaves the hand and flies rapidly towards the opponent.

OOC: Sorry for the poor post, I'm not use to taking the first actions in a fight, no matter what type of site it is xD

[Itsu Iko]

When Itsu hears the examiner say begin, he becomes serious and keeps his eyes on his opponent. He sees her execute a set of hand seals, when she is done performing the hand seals she points her left hand at him. He takes some time to push himself into the ground using his earth chakra getting ready to dodge whatever attack she might have in mind.

He sees her aim and fire a fireball a foot in diameter at him, when he sees this he pushes the rest of the chakra needed to push himself into the ground. Once in the ground he uses his chakra to move through the earth part of the arena toward where his opponent is standing.

When he reaches her, and if she is still there he reaches up from the ground with his right hand trying to grab one of her legs. If he manages to grab one of her legs he quickly pulls her down into the ground while he uses his chakra to push himself out of the ground.

[Chuunin Examiner 4]

OOC: Disregard what was stated before. Continue posting without me, I will drop in sporadically to pass judgement and such. If there are any problems, please send a PM to me and I will handle it accordingly. Continue the fight normally.

[Seira Kimura]

Miyako frowned slightly when he began to move into the earth. Her fireball missed like she thought it would. Casting her eyes about the ground, for he was completely under, she took a step backwards just in time to see his hand extend up from the ground where she had been.

Before he had the chance to come up or something, she held her scimitar in her right hand as she made the half-ram hand seal, channeling her chakra into the sword she charged with with electricity. Than she lowered her hand.

Her sword looked no different than before, one couldn't tell that she had just completed a jutsu on her sword, nor would they probably even know what the jutsu had done even if they saw.

She kept moving around, though, in case he decided to try that trick again. If she moved around, she was fairly certain that he wouldn't be able to grab her ankle. But there was one direction she moved towards: Lightning.

SPOILER: Click to show

Flying Shock
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: If the charged weapon touches the opponent's skin, they receive a potent electric shock in addition to any damage the weapon may make on it's own. When used, this jutsu gives one charge, and one charge only.
Special: Half-Ram.
Drawback: None.
Description: Gives any metal weapon an electric charge. The weapon must be held when the jutsu is activated. The required handseal only uses one hand, so the other hand holds the weapon. The weapon itself undergoes no visible change, the opponent would have no idea about it unless they witnessed the technique being used.
Limit: Lightning Release needed.

[OOC: Sorry for the late response, I was very busy taking care of personal matters.]

[Itsu Iko]

When Itsu reaches up from the ground and doesn’t feel anything he quickly brings his hand back into the ground the retreats back a couple of feet. He then emerges from the ground trying to be ready for whatever might happen. After emerging from the ground, Itsu looks around and sees his opponent; Miyako moving around. He is completely unaware of the jutsu she placed on her sword. It doesn’t matter to Itsu since he prefers long range and doesn’t want to get to close to her anyways.

He sees her moving and it is likely that she has seen him as well, as he watches her he decides to use one of his genjutsu techniques. Keeping his eyes on Miyako he begins to executes a set of hand seals for the technique Jinks' Indescribable Creep. After completing the hand seals, Itsu pushes his chakra toward Miyako, this causes a creeping sensation over the her body that can cause her to become panicked. Itsu then performs another set of hand seals for a new genjutsu that is known as Awakened Fears.

After completing the new set of hand seals, Itsu channels his chakra to Miyako once again. If the technique works the chakra will begin to effect Miyako’s brain making her see images of her deepest darkest fear. If the technique works on Miyako Itsu executes one last set of hand seals this time for a lightning technique known as Chain Lightning. After performing the hand seals, Itsu continues to hold the last hand seal. He then channels his lightning chakra to his hands and suddenly lightning is released in front of his hands.

The lightning travels toward Miyako who is hopefully distracted from the genjutsu that Itsu performed. The lightning travels 45 meters per second making it extremely hard to dodge and if Miyako is hit by the lightning she will receive b-rank amount of damage.

[Seira Kimura]

Miyako saw Itsu xome up out of the ground. She noticed him begin to make hand seals, that of which she didn't recognize as a jutsu she knew or had encountered before. Suddenly a feeling she couldn't quite describe, a feeling of... like something was crawling through her skin... This made her panic, and that made her begin to run faster, like she had something to run from, even though she knew there was nothing there.

Than suddenly she had the sensation that she was being clawed at, that hands... claws... were tearing at her skin. She let out a shriek as she collapsed to her knees and covered her head with her arms in fright. She cursed her fright, cursed herself for being so stupid. And yet her body still began to shake.

What had she to fear, though? This couldn't be happening... These things, things that looked an awfully alot like the people she had murdered long ago, just twisted and shriveled up from something like a fire... They looked a lot like them.... But they couldn't be real... She was in a stadium full of people, and in this stadium there were no... creatures... other than the stone nin and the people themselves. She shook in fright, and couldn't make her hands move. Her sword was still gripped tightly in her hands.

She couldn't go down like this, no she couldn't. She had to get out of this alive, whether that meant losing, or giving up, but she had to get out of this alive. She couldn't die here, she still had to find Hashin and kill him, she still had to get back to Konoha and her team alive... The lightning hit her and she toppled over sideways with a loud scream.

[Don't kill Miyako >.< Please? xD You're more than likely gonna win anyway, lol]

[Itsu Iko]

Itsu hears Miyako scream when the lightning hits her, hearing the scream causes a shiver to go down his spine. He stays where he is seeing Miyako’s body that lying sideways, he quickly decides to try and end the battle and rapidly executes the hand seals tiger, dragon, and ox. After completing the hand seals, Itsu kneels over on one knee and slams both of his hands onto the ground.

Right when his hands hit the ground he begins to channel his earth chakra into the ground through the palms of his hands. He then uses the chakra to create five chains that he moves through the ground toward Miyako’s body. When the chains reach Miyako’s body they burst through the ground and Itsu controls them and makes four of them wrap around her arms and legs. If the chains wrap successfully around her arms and legs, Itsu waits to use the last chain letting it hover over her body.

As the chains are wrapped around her limbs, they begin to grow becoming even heavier, and because of Itsu mastery of earth the chains are as hard as titanium. He then begins to speak in a way that makes him sound as serious as he can be “Give up, I have your arms and legs wrapped around you.” He then makes the chains tighten around her limbs a little, “And I have one more chain that I plan to wrap around your neck and trust me that is a place you don‘t want a chain around. However I give you my word that i won’t use it if you surrender.”

Itsu is telling the truth about not using the last chain if she give ups and he hopes she does give up, even though their villages are enemies, he has no desire to kill her. With each second that goes by the chains on her arms and legs become larger and heavier and Itsu keeps his hands on the ground waiting for Miyako’s answer.

Earth Mastery
Rank: B, A, S
Skill: Passive

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.

Effect: Shoots 5 iron chains out of the earth, which can be manipulated by the user of the jutsu. These chains can be used as a whip as well as holding the opponent down. The main purpose of this Jutsu was to restrain people and other creatures. These chains continue to grow until the user takes his hands of the earth.
Special: Tiger; Dragon; Ox
Drawback: The moment the user removes his hands from the ground the chains disappear.
Description: The user does the required handseals and places his palms on the ground, causing chains to shoot out from the ground.
Limit: Must know earth release.

[Seira Kimura]

Miyako laid there when she noticed that Itsu was making hand seals to prepare for another jutsu. She couldn't make her body move, she still shook from the other jutsu. And suddenly chains wrapped around her body, pinning her to the ground.

They were heavy, and growing heavier by the second. Gritting her teeth in pain, she listened to his words as she watched the chain hovering over her. Thoughts flashed through her mind, the thought that she could die scared her. She wasn't ready to die, she didn't want to die just yet. When she avenged Keitaro, when she made Hashin beg for mercy which she wouldn't give, than she wouldn't mind dying so much. But that hadn't happened yet, so she didn't want to die yet.

She didn't want to give up either, though. But... surrender or die were her only two options... She would prefer the first one. The chains tightened around her body even more, they were so heavy that they had her gasping in pain, making it hard to talk. With what little breath she had left, she called out, "I surrender!" and hoped that he would stop.

[OOC: Well, you win, Itsu, congrats You better kick everyone else's butts, you hear me? xD]

[Itsu Iko]

When Itsu hears the words “I surrender” sighs in relief and takes his hands off the ground causing the chains to disappear and free Miyako’s body. He quickly gets back up to his feet and quickly walks over to Miyako and helps her to her feet and puts her arm around him and helps her out of the arena. Once they are out of the arena he gives her to a waiting medic and he nods to her “Good battle hope we meet again but as allies instead of opponents.” Itsu smiles to Miyako and allows the medic nin to take a look at her. When the medic nin says that Miyako is ok he smiles and leaves the battle arena waving at Miyako.

OOC: Thanks i'll do my best to beat everyone else ^-^

[Chuunin Examiner]

[Since examiner 4 hasn't really been on, I'll take care of this for ya ^^]

The words of surrender were uttered by Miyako's mouth as Itsu stopped his attack, leaving her alive. The examiner jumped into the field and said

"By forfeit, Itsu Iko is the winner!"[/color]

That being said, the ninjutsu masters would cause the field and the barrier to disappear, allowing them to exit for the time being. One more fight was complete, on to the last one.
[Congratulations Itsu][/font]
