Test 3 - <Hiromasa> vs. Asato

[Chuunin Examiner]

Test 3 – The Heart

The preliminaries were now complete. It seemed to have taken very little time for most, and many strong contestants had moved on. The examiners gathered the ninja after a nights rest so they could be at full strength. They stood outside one of the many arenas that were created for these battles. When all of them would gather, the examiner would speak to them as a whole.

”Congratulations to all of you. You have all made it to the Final Round of the Chuunin Exams. As such, each and every one of you has a shot at Chuunin. You do not need to win any of your matches to receive the title of Chuunin. It is at the sole discretion of your respective Kages that you receive a higher rank in your village or not.

As for the contents of the third task… It is, as with all Chuunin Exams, fights amongst each other. Behind me is one of the arenas that two of you will be fighting at. Only one person may emerge victorious in each fight, but in some instances, no one will emerge victorious. In each of the arenas for the first round, they hold elements from both the second round as well as the preliminary rounds we just held. Each arena is split in two, one half holding one element while the other holding a different. A randomizer decided which one was which, and which of you would be fighting in which arena.

As for what is taken from the Second Round… Traps…. 3 types of traps are throughout your arena. Each type takes up one sixth of the arena, leaving one full half untouched by traps. They are placed at random spots throughout the arena, and to those who cannot see beyond the naked eye, they will be unseen by you in most instances. Keep your senses sharp. Each and every one of you has been chosen to fight another by a randomizer. The examiners behind you hold a sign stating who you are fighting and will lead you to your arena.

For the next round after this, things change… Instead of 2 elements and 3 traps, its 3 elements and 4 traps. For the final round, it will be 4 elements and 5 traps. So! Without further ado! Good luck, and fight hard.”

[/color]

With that, they would be able to turn around and see who they were fighting and then be led to their arena. Things were nearly complete. The final test of the Chuunin Exams was here.

---

And as usual, there is some OOC stuff. Now then… Unlike the preliminaries, there is NO specific examiner watching over your battle. ANY examiner can make a ruling, ANY examiner can change the field up, and ANY examiner can end a fight. Below lists the fighters in this round, the arena type, and traps in the thread, and a posting order.[/center]

Hiromasa Kawashima

VS

Asato Len'autre

[/size][/u]

ARENA TYPE

Element 1 - EARTH/WOOD: A dense forest with leaves all over the ground. There are several open spots as well that contain rock formations and large fissures in the ground. Be wary with fire and lightning techniques here as they will cause the forest to catch fire
Element 2 - LIGHTNING: A place seemingly covered in dark clouds with lightning launching out at random intervals. Large lightning rods attract some lightning as well as sending it throughout the rocky ground in the form of shockwaves.

TRAPS

Trap 1 - SHURIKEN LAUNCHER: A pressure plate causes a small hatch to open near it and launch 3 shuriken. One directly at the pressure plate, and one both behind and in front of it.
Trap 2 - SHURIKEN LAUNCHER: A pressure plate causes a small hatch to open near it and launch 3 shuriken. One directly at the pressure plate, and one both behind and in front of it.
Trap 3 - BEAR TRAPS: Spiked clasps that will close on the person that steps on it. Normally it will close on their feet, but if they are feeling with their hand, it will hit that too. It is hidden in the ground.

[Keep note... You do not know which traps are in your arena. You can easily see what the arena looks like, but the types of traps are unknown]

POSTING ORDER

Person 1 (Hiromasa)
Person 2 (Asato)
EXAMINER
Person 1 (Hiromasa)
Person 2 (Asato)
Person 1 (Hiromasa)
Person 2 (Asato)

As with the last one, the person who is listed first is known as Person 1, the person listed second is known as Person 2. For the first battle, your arena looks like what is linked below. Pay attention to the legend explaining the placement of each element and each person.



As with the next rounds match ups, the arena’s appearance will be posted in a second post. This arena is 100 meters by 100 meters, with each of you starting 5 meters from the edge (Making 90 meters in between each of you). The traps that littered throughout the arena are hidden. Dice rolls will be given during each time an examiner posts. It will be out of 90. 1-15 gives you trap 1, 16-30 gives no trap, 31-45 gives you trap 2, 46—60 gives no trap, 61-75 gives you trap 3, and 76-90 gives no trap. The traps and elements are predetermined by dice roll.

There is one rule I am also putting into place for the finals. The final rounds are to be more challenging then the last. As such… You cannot give up in your match if an attack is about to hit you. There will be no magical saves this time. You can give up after dodging/accepting an attack, but only when there are no more attacks being launched at you can you say “I give up”. The only exception to this rule is if your opponent states “I would do this, unless they give up”. If something along that line is stated, then you may give up during that point.

As with the last test, if you send a PM to an examiner, please state that you have done so and state which examiner you have PMed. I also still want you to state when you change elements. For instance… If you are in a water/lightning field, and you are currently in Water, but move to lightning, just state that in brackets so it is well known. The 2 day IIC is still in effect.

Regarding Training… You may continue training during this test. Anything not learned by the time you post your entrance MAY NOT be used in the exam. If you have to complete something, do it before you enter, same with buying anything from the temporary item shop. Anything learned before the second round begins may be used in the second round and you have another chance to go off and buy what you need from the shop as well.

That is all I have to say regarding the first round of the final test. If you have any questions, Please PM me ASAP or ask in the Chuunin Exam OOC thread. Good luck and enjoy.

[The Heron]

He entered into the arena with his head held high, body fitted with all the equipment he deemed necessary for battle. His hands clasped even before the fight itself could begin, and the earth responded, slinking up his form to encase himself in nigh impenetrable armor. Thoughts roved through his head on how to best deal with his opponent, but alas, no true plan could form without observation of his foe's skills - until then, all he conjured was pure conjecture...

Masteries, Passive Techniques:

Suiton: Oxyhydro Conversion Technique
Rank: "B"
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Converts oxygen and hydrogen in the air into water.
Special: Automatic when performing a water jutsu.
Drawback: It is easy to exceed your chakra level when creating large amounts of chakra- the amount of water needed will automatically be created when you cast a water jutsu when you are not aroud a water source. Therefore, if you cast a technique and you do not have enough chakra to cast both the technique and create the amount of water necessary,
Description: After spending a large amount of time utilizing water techniques, the Water Shinobi begins to understand the true composition of water. They use this to such an effect that they can create water out of nothing. This is automatic when casting a water jutsu and there is no water source.
Limit: Must have 500 training points into techniques that focus only on Suiton no Jutsu. Once you have obtained 500 training points in Suiton techniques, they gain this technique automatically.

Earth Mastery
Rank: A
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.

Muay Thai Mastery
Rank: "B"
Type: TaiJutsu
Effect: A Mastery in which a user is capable of hitting with great strength in which feels normal towards the user, however creates a larger impact against the opponent.
Special: ---
Drawback: Does not stack with any other type of combat attacks that is similar towards this type of Mastery. It does not stack up to other power hits that increase through mastery.
Description: There are rumors that state a Muay Thai Boxer is capable of hitting an opponent with such a force, that if an opponent is holding a Gym Bag, the Boxer can hit with such a force along the Bag that is capable of knocking the Bag holder out cold. This is the technique, the usage, the knowledge that enables the user such capabilities. When the user first gains so many training points within the art of Muay Thai, the user punches with the same capability towards them, however to the opponent, it feels as if they were hit with a technique one letter grade stronger then the actual technique. An example would mean that if a user hits the opponent with a "D" rank technique it feels like a "C" Rank technique. When the user continues his training in the art of Muay Thai, learning the Art of Fighting, the user has the power capability of two letters stronger then they are capable of. This means that the user punches with the capability of a "D" Rank technique but the opponent suddenly feels the impact of a "B" Rank technique. When the user gains a thousand five hundred Training Points or higher within the art of Muay Thai, they are strong, they are capable, they are deadly weapons in every way. With that, whenever a user hits an opponent, they hit with the same impact as before, however the opponent feels as if they were hit with three letters higher then the normal technique would show. That means that if a userhits with a "D" Rank technique, the opponent feels as if they were hit with an "A" Rank technique. This technique is capable of rubbing off onto other styles if need be due to similar fundamentals.
Limit: Must have gained 500 Training Points for "B" Rank Automatically. Must have gained 1,000 Training Points for "A" Rank Automatically. Must have gained 1,500 Training Points for "S" Rank Automatically.

Joufu Joukei (Warrior's Sight)
Rank: "C", "B"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A technique where the user is capable of seeing, watching the opponent or opponent's chest area predicting movements that the opponent may do against the user.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user is only capable of predicting movements one rank below then what they have learned. The user is only capable of predicting movements that are TaiJutsu Based. Any other type of movements can not be predicted. The user is not capable of predicting movements that are considered to be random. These movements are based off of fighting styles such as Drunken Fighting, and Capoeira. Another defect is if the opponent has half more movements then that of the user they will not be capable of predicting.
Description: When a member of the Kurçjî Ryuu Hiden is used to random combat, they must first become aware of other styles of combat for a mistake in creating a series of random events may bring the member of the Kurçjî Ryuu Hiden int a world of problems. The way this technique works is that the user observes certain points of areas of the opponent's body such as the shoulders, thighs, and hips. Since attacks are focused on these points they are capable of making educational guesses towards points of contact that may occur within these certain points. This type of technique is a study where the user is capable of watching an opponent's movements for a brief moment of time predicting TaiJutsu techniques. When the user first learns this technique they are capable of predicting techniques of "D" Rank capability. When the user learns the "B" Rank version of this technique they are only capable of predicting techniques of "C" Rank capability. When the user learns the "A" Rank version of this technique they are only capable of predicting techniques of "B" Rank capability.

Odoriko Onchou (Dancers Grace)
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A"
Skill: Tai
Effect: Becoming more aware of their surroundings the user is unable to be caught flat footed or be flanked.
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: Training to heighten their senses in the heat of combat, the Senbon Taitoku user under goes training to become more prepared then ever. They slowly become aware of their surroundings on the battle field, to the point they become similar with it like their own back yard. With this natural sense of their surroundings the user can't be caught flat footed or be flanked. Which means if the user was walking down the road minding their business, and a ambush party burst out from the bushes. The user wouldn't be caught of guard and would most likely except it, and will sense someone was coming up from behind to attack and will act quickly and either attack first or get out the way. 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.
Limit: Must be a Senbon Taitoku user

USED TECHNIQUE

Doton: Iwa no Yori (Earth Element: Stone Armor)
Rank: B
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: A technique that hardens the user's body for defensive and offensive purposes.
Special: Serpent
Drawback: Sufficient force can break the armor; Because this jutsu works by constantly absorbed earth properties, it requires no extra chakra after initiating it, yet still needs a sufficient amount of stone to be performed
Description: This technique makes earth-chakra flow through the body, absorbing the properties of stone around the user to form a skin-deep armor that is transparent yet reflects light with a metallic-like gleam. Despite encasing the user’s body, the armor has no apparent affect on the user’s speed or agility. The armor is shown to be able to defend from all forms of blunt-force trauma. At the same time, it enhances the user's strength for more powerful physical strikes and break free or through restraints and walls.
Limit: Earth Release, 500 TP in Earth Release.

[» Comatose]

A scowl filled the features of my face, as I realized this test too would be one of intense convolution. The over-complicatedness of the previous tests had irked me so, and this one definitely no exception. However, the prescience of my opponent, the intangible innumerable notion of strength exhumed by all, had given me the subtle notion that he would not disappoint. I had since my entrance in this exam embraced all that was evil, viscous, and insane. My pain was constant and sharp, an unintelligible hope for the persistence of pain on others; particularly this 'other' -- and just as handseals were complete, paper snaking and blending in with my frame, my hidden blood-lust overcame my human condition of sanity.

[Chuunin Examiner]

[Good luck to both of you!]

A snow genin, or Kage for that matter, and a mist genin were now to face off in an arena of Lighting along with wood and earth. With the next stage of the exam ready to go, the examiners voice would thunder about the arena.

"In the element of Lightning... Hiromasa Kawashima. And in the element of Wood and Earth... Asato Len'autre... Without further ado... Let this battle BEGIN!"[/color]

Those words said, the examiner would watch on, keeping an eye on both, with other examiners stationed at random points to step in when called.[/font]

[The Heron]

There were ninety meters between the two of them – Hiromasa knew not what troubles awaited him on the road to realization; he only knew that he would conquer those troubles and reign supreme over this decrepit domain. He entered into a divine sprint that sent him a’flickering across the field – within the space of two breaths he’d already lowered the purlieu to fifty meters. Upon his re-emergence into the realm of reality his hands clasped swiftly, and a wave of rock rose from the ground to swallow his foe. Tall and wide, it truly was a tsunami of stone, reaching heights and widths of forty meters. The wave grew from the earth twenty meters to the front of his foe, giving it time to reach its apex before crashing down on the enemy.

He was of course wary of traps, but should any be triggered his spatial awareness would warn him of any imminent danger.

Hiromasa flickered closer still and the ground began to quake, shaking and rattling as if it were about to collapse… and collapse it did, though not in the traditional manner. Lancing spikes of earth jettisoned from the ground in a seemingly random array, sprouting from the ground around his foe to restrict his evasion. The spikes formed a veritable wall around his foe leaving his front open to the storm of stones; alas, he’d angled the spikes to pierce his opponent at chest level should he flee either to his south, east or west.

Another flicker brought him closer, and with that, the earth would truly cry. His hands clasped once more, and with the culmination of their dance all would come to a rest.

The Spikes that come forth in rapid succession and does not come forth at the same time. Spikes pop up from the very ground as they are launched around in an area effect, or in a cone, to line like effect, and since this occurs the technique begins near the user as they go forth towards the opponent. This is the "B" Rank version of the very technique while the added always 20 Points "C" Rank that is added along with it is considered the more adaptable version where spikes may come forth by how the user may wish. 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 quickly presses on a few seals as the user slams their hands against the ground. By focusing their chakra along the ground and using the earth release giant like shards of spikes shoot up from the very ground. The Spikes that come forth are brought up in different sizes from five feet, to even seven feet high. If the opponent is struck down along with the spikes, they are capable of piercing through and puncturing within. The spikes come up in a sequential order when first learned moving from the user heading towards the intended target if possible. The way this technique works is that when the user learns the more adaptable version of this technique then the user is capable of pushing off different styles of spikes in a more of a diverse manner that are in a non-sequential form.

There was a method to this man's madness, an unforeseen underlying plan poised to end me quickly. Once he had sprang into action I had begun a plan of my own, noting his quick movements, as I continued my handseals. Cards would release themselves from holsters after the completion of the correct sequence of seals, orbiting my frame at a rather high velocity, as an armillary sphere; each deck representing it's own orbiting ring, each at slightly higher orbital distances.

I would not need any sort of extrasensory strength, for my paper was more than enough to defeat any earthen construction even if it was beyond my perception. As my paper cards traveled their relative orbits, they'd overlap as they spun around myself in every which direction. I would not move, because there would be no need. The 'pebbles' would effectively be annihilated on impact, cut down into harmless sizes, and deflected elsewhere -- without me even consciously acknowledging their existence at all.

I was however, slightly surprised by the sudden earthshaking, though only slightly -- having encountered this move several times. My legs compensated, tensing up through the shock-wave, my form lowering some to take on the extra burden of tactile movements of the ground. My arms shot forward once before ten cards were launched at the now stationary opponent. The cards forming into what was simply put a single horizontal line of cards (the cards themselves horizontal for maximum horizontal coverage) aimed to cleave through the gullet of my opponent. My arms, as they came to their relative maximum forward position also formed a particular seal, unknown to most.

My opponent, as his own jutsu came to fruition, would be encompassed with the spirit of rapture, my mind overriding any command his would give to his body. Though, I had only one; "Turn around. Stand."

In the end, because the spikes were simply not strong enough to penetrate my thickened armor, I would simply ignore them; their tips seemingly chipping off as they attempted to impale me -- my body covered in a nearly impermeable armor of paper. The cards which hadn't been yet launched, due to the drawback of my Yamanaka jutsu would fall, limp. Though, I doubted further need in their use, doubting the man's survival.

His entire assault was wasted to nothing by rapidly spinning sheets of… Paper?! Impossible…

The youth stilled, eyes catching the incoming projectiles. He attempted to duck low and avoid them, hands still a flutter, but the sense of danger never passed – in fact, it grew worse. Before nigh a demon could harm him, he shifted into an upward array of images, body falling softly to cherished ground thereafter. His timing had needed to be perfect, for half a second late and he would have been sheared in half, or worse. But alas, his evasion terminated his attempted attack – instead, he shifted to a secondary element, hands dancing in a sudden tango to invoke Poseidon’s envy, a liquid pool snaking up his foes form to ensnare him. There had been a brief interlude between attacks, however, and in that time, he’d invoked a right of blood to summon the queen of the Kani, Kanikei.

She erupted beneath him from a haze of smoke, pincers clicking angrily. "He is talented," Hiromasa said by way of greeting. "Those... things... are troublesome..." Her stalked pearl eyes narrowed shrewdly, and she began to weave her magic.

This man could shear through his doton jutsu like butter. He would not be taken lightly.

Odoriko Onchou (Dancers Grace)
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A"
Skill: Tai
Effect: Becoming more aware of their surroundings the user is unable to be caught flat footed or be flanked.
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: Training to heighten their senses in the heat of combat, the Senbon Taitoku user under goes training to become more prepared then ever. They slowly become aware of their surroundings on the battle field, to the point they become similar with it like their own back yard. With this natural sense of their surroundings the user can't be caught flat footed or be flanked. Which means if the user was walking down the road minding their business, and a ambush party burst out from the bushes. The user wouldn't be caught of guard and would most likely except it, and will sense someone was coming up from behind to attack and will act quickly and either attack first or get out the way. 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.
Limit: Must be a Senbon Taitoku user

[Chuunin Examiner 3]

Hiromasa, I say that you have unsuccessfully dodged the attack sent your way due to a few reasons.

Once Asato has sent the 10 cards your way, only a single hand seal is performed to catch you in the Shinranshin no Jutsu. His hands moving in one fluid movement only further increases the speed at which he performs this technique. The moment you even notice the cards sent your way, you are caught within the Shinranshin no Jutsu as it is near instantaneous. Since you were in the middle of performing a technique, your reaction time is delayed for your dodging, thus you are turned around facing away from the cards as they pierce through the back of your neck and your throat. Truthfully, with an attack of such a nature, you are dead.

I have to call this and say Asato is the winner.

[Chuunin Examiner]

[Alright... After reading this through over and over and over and... well.. you get the idea.... I decided to make my ruling. First off... Hiromasa is not dead and this battle continues. Second off... Using Dancer's grace, he can tell the cards coming. A duck would take placed immediately followed by Shunshin and Inkaten. That being said, he is not on the ground. Since no range or direction is stated on the Yamanaka Technique, he would be hit by it the moment he stops his shunshin/inkaten.

His summon and water technique did not happen. Asato has control over Hiromasa's body at the moment and Hiromasa is falling to the ground, the cards falling from their original position (the ones around Asato). As stated before, Hiromasa is not dead and the battle continues, Asato's post is next. Feel free to PM me if you feel I am in the wrong or PM another examiner (Hopefully they still get on their accounts even with the massive staff removals.)]

My initial assault had been apparently been rendered ineffective by the man's dodging likely resulting from a skill I had seen once before. It was a most annoying skill too; giving the apparent ability for one to sense danger as it came to them, it was either that or the man's exemplary reflexes. Granted, the cards which the opponent had dodged was only a supplementary volley; the main gist of my assault had indeed hit. With the rectangle seal held, my own influence overriding any command he gave to his body, I had complete control over the man's actions.

Granted, alone this would seem useless, however -- remembering back to the start of this round there was one simple thing I could exploit, there was traps littered about. Therefore I would employ a very simple tactic, directing the man to begin running about in a circle back toward his side of the arena - it being more of a spiral upwards in that direction than a circle really. This way he was bound to land on a trap, and at the same time move away from myself.

[Hiromasa can still respond to it in some way and this may not happen if Hiromasa has some way out of it. However... If he cannot, he would step on a pressure plate that would cause a small launcher to rise from the sand silently and launch three shuriken toward him, one directly toward him, and one on both the front and back of him. However.. It is still his post to state what actually happens.]

[The Heron]

Against his wishes, he was commanded to run, so run he did. He moved in a rough circle, each revolution taking him further and further away from his opponent - not that he could do anything.

Inside he screamed and raged, face growing red with the malice brewing in his bones. His mind raced to find an answer to his dilemma, and to do so he need only calmly survey the situation. Slowly, he began to relax.

He continued to run even as he triggered the innocuous little trap - even if it hit, his Iwa no Yori would protect him nonetheless, the defense bolstered by his mastery of Doton jutsu. But, as the trap had most likely been formulated to strike a somewhat stationary opponent, or at least one slower than a shinobi of his caliber, there was a chance he would not be hit.

Less of course his puppeteer managed to notice the trap and order him to stop before hand - a plausible event, but likely?... only time would tell.

A Rank Earth Mastery

Doton: Iwa no Yori (Earth Element: Stone Armor) [Active since First Round]
Rank: B
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: A technique that hardens the user's body for defensive and offensive purposes.
Special: Serpent
Drawback: Sufficient force can break the armor; Because this jutsu works by constantly absorbed earth properties, it requires no extra chakra after initiating it, yet still needs a sufficient amount of stone to be performed
Description: This technique makes earth-chakra flow through the body, absorbing the properties of stone around the user to form a skin-deep armor that is transparent yet reflects light with a metallic-like gleam. Despite encasing the user’s body, the armor has no apparent affect on the user’s speed or agility. The armor is shown to be able to defend from all forms of blunt-force trauma. At the same time, it enhances the user's strength for more powerful physical strikes and break free or through restraints and walls.
Limit: Earth Release, 500 TP in Earth Release.

My trained eyes seemingly zoomed upon the sudden appearance of shuriken, all Ninja trained in the art of being able to spot the tiny throwing weapons among the noise of the background. As such, my marionette would be directed to stop, and apparently get hit, but take no damage whatsoever. The event wasn't that surprising, however it did provide insight into what defenses the man had, something I'd commit to mental memory. I had deduced that this meant that whatever traps this man would step on would be hit or miss; rather - it would either do no damage, or it would kill him. Regardless, even if the two didn't occur by some measure of luck, I would be able to gage more of his abilities, whilst he still knew very few of mine.

Therefore, the same approach was taken, forcing him to move about in circles, covering more ground - specifically directing him to areas on his side of the arena he had yet to reach or step upon, in the hopes of triggering a trap that would do some sort of damage that would turn the tide of battle in my favor.

Despite the urgings of his mind, Hiromasa stopped in the path of the shuriken. They did nothing to harm him, but the occurrence helped along his assessment of the jutsu he found himself ensnared in. His mind was free to think an act – he simply had no control over his body, no matter how hard he struggled. He didn’t think such a skill was indefinite, but he’d be damned if he let himself be paraded around like a fool for much longer. He needed to find a way to destroy whatever connection existed between himself and his opponent… but what was it?

He began to run anew, following the same pattern of movement described before. Slowly but surely, his mind worked towards the solution to his problem…

[Chuunin Examiner]

Just then... The earth section of the arena started to rumble as a large fissure started to form, heading straight toward Asato, as well as causing some trees to fall over. The fissure would reach Asato in the next round if he didn't move (Not this round, but the one after) As for Hiromasa, who was now in the lightning area, standing 5 meters from a lightning rod, a large lightning strike hit the rod, sending a shockwave through the ground in a 5 meter radius from the rod. He would just get the bare aftershock of it, sending only small surges through his body. Yet a cloud remained over the lightning rod, showing more strikes might happen.

[▐Shibu]

:: Enter as Spectator ::

It would seem Asato’s match was still going on, so I would go take my seat, lift my feet up on another row, lean back in the seat and just wait for him to finish. My red flak jacket keeping my comfortable as I just chilled, now this is what I’m talking about. Passed everything, no reason to go risking my life but just chilling; my eyes not activated but me just simply watching the two fight, figured Asato’s ego was to big to give up, heh.

[/blockquote]

[» Comatose]

My lips curled into a smile, as I had reached a most inevitable conclusion. If I held this man any longer our match would indefinitely end in a draw - or with extreme injury. It was a simple deduction derived from the sight of the lightning rod, and the impending fissure that send waves of vibration amongst the ground. If I held this man, holding him near the lightning rod, he would most likely die - or rather, incur great injury, but at the same time I would likely be harmed from fissure. The chance of injury and the continued effort was not worth it in the end. If this had a been a real battle, me with a single cell of ninja, he would have been dead.

"I forfeit. My enemy had already admitted defeat by succumbing to my technique; there is no point, I don't wish to continue this round and win if only to inflate my ego. I know myself superior."

My hands would release the seal once the examiner verified my forfeiting - there would be another time to kill this one.

[Chuunin Examiner]

A growl escaped the examiners mouth as he appeared on the field near Hiromasa and said

"By way of forfeit, Hiromasa Kawashima is the winner!"[/color]

That being said, the clouds would part as the fissure would stop, neither of them receiving damage from it. He then muttered under his breath "Fucking genin always giving up... Never any death anymore..."[/color]

[Congratulations Hiromasa][/font]

[▐Shibu]

Some slight smile would be graced upon my lips, I never thought he’d forfeit. Granted the outcome was different then my own but still, I kinda wondered if my technique did work on my opponent which could have been the result of me winning my match, but it didn’t really matter. I would get up and head towards the exit and await Asato. We’ll see what he has planned exactly to head on home now, there was no need to stick around in moon, or so I figured.

After the verification, I moved on, taking my leave. Kirigakure had some interesting genin, perhaps I'd look more into that village in the future, but for now I only had my homeland in sight - I had become weary of this place.
