Kageme & Ankoku

Expiration Arena

_{The lights beat down on any of the contestants that set foot inside this hell-hole, and some don't ever exit. It's an arena of devastation, of death and havoc. The soil, tainted with bloodstains would lie before while you meet your fate in the middle of the ring. The large spatters along the walls, symbolize the fallen shinobi who were cocky enough to enter hell itself.}

As Kageme would set foot through the front door, he would notice that it was almost as if the whole place was a ghost town, with only one person standing behind the counter. She would look up to him and nod her head as he approached closer to her, though she was quite intimidating to him with a scar running down the left side of her face coursing straight down her eye. "Are you here to fight?" She would say in a grungy voice as she motioned with her head to a door on her left. Kageme didn't want to make conversation with someone like this, so naturally he nodded his head and walked by her desk and strode into the door.

The room descended about twenty meters down until another door met his eye. It was filled with statues and pictures on the wall for previous champions of the arena, and history that he would never really pay attention to. A large red carpet stretched from the door he first entered through all the way to the other side of the hallway, where the rug would meet the opposite door. Until he got there, he spectated at the history that decorated the floor and walls. He opened the door and squinted his eyes as the sun blinded his vision for a matter of a couple seconds.

After his vision returned to him, he would notice a small fence set up as a large circle to keep the contestants inside. Although Kageme didn't think that would keep anything inside, it was set up about a meter from the ground. As he walked up, he stepped with one foot on the fence and pushed off with the other to launch himself in the arena, ready for what was coming. The stands around the circle, empty. It seems as though this place isnt very popular anymore, hence the statues on the walls and sticking from the ground said that there were more than five hundred spectators sometimes.

Kageme made himself friendly with once side of the set up fence and leaned with his butt to the side of it. Waiting for a challenger, waiting for someone to take a peak of interest in his fight. "I'm not afraid this time," He would mumble to himself "In fact I can't wait to see who comes in."[/sub][/color]

Ankoku heard of this place from his sensei. Bokury's father was the subject of the stories most of the time this location was the accommodation of his fathers death. Though it mattered none to Ankoku he listened, he wanted to tempt death once more. Ankoku stepped into the main corridor of the colossal arena and noticed the dis-figuration of the average woman's face was her only outstanding feature. She glared at me and said in her grainy voice, "Ah this is a first we haven't had two challengers in the longest time."

Ankoku stared fiercely at the estranged woman, "Just tell me where to go."

"About thirty meters down the hallway."

Ankoku ambled down the hallway until he noticed the monstrous door that laid ahead of him. The door way made him feel small and frail,his focus was solely on this door and no other he shuffled towards it until reaching it, Ankoku noticed the numerous scriptures that were embedded in it. He opened it with little difficulty, the sun beamed in dazing Ankoku. Ankoku stepped out onto the sandy floor from which the arena was constructed from.

A medium sized fence stood between Ankoku and maybe the fight of his life. He would be in a blind fight knowing neither skill or rank of his opponent. Ankoku climbed the fence, to reveal the identity of his possible death bringer. To Ankoku's surprise this stranger was about the same age as him, but he remembered his sensei's words to know that an enemy will never hold back. Ankoku stood face to face with his enemy staring intensely into his eyes, "This is it."

<sub>Kageme squinted his eyes to see a figure climb into the arena from the other side, it brought a smile to his face. "I thought I would be waiting here all day." He whispered to himself while he scratched the back of his head. He waited for a matter of a couple seconds until his challenger choked on his words. "This is it." Kageme then dropped his smile and unzipped his jacket, dropping it to the floor and spreading his legs. "Here we go!" Kageme would begin to sprint towards his newly acquainted enemy, who stood on the other side of the arena about 30 meters away. For such a small entrance, this place sure had a large arena.

He reached into his butt bag and pulled out a matter of 3 kunai, chucking towards him, one going to the left, one straight at him, then one to the right. Hoping for the best he would continue to run in his direction.</sub>

<sub>Kageme would raise one eyebrow as he continued to dash forward at his opponent, for he completely dodged the kunai with ease, Kageme couldnt help but to feel shame because the kunai were thrown a tiny bit too high. Though before he jumped the he had emerged four clones that would form from the mist in the air. Kageme thought swiftly for he stopped running and contemplated his enemy's moves and position.

He slapped his hands together and shuffled through handseals pouring the chakra in his chakra runway. Filling up his lungs with chakra, he would take a long deep breath and channel all of it through to his fingertips. With a grunt he would shove his hand to the ground and launched a long string of fire towards the four clones that stood not but fifteen meters away. After the technique was emitted, Kageme crouched and watched his enemy's movements.</sub>

Kagemane no Jutsu, 影真似の術 (Shadow Imitation Technique) [Learned x1]
Rank: "C"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: The signature move of the Nara family, this jutsu allows the user to control their own shadow and merge it with their opponent's shadow, combining them. This links the movements of the user with the target; the target is subsequently forced to make any movement the user makes. It is an extremely versatile technique, as the user can contract and change the shape of their shadow, potentially grabbing multiple targets at once. The degree to which the user's shadow can be stretched is limited by its total surface area.
Special: "Hanseals"
Drawback: Must Be Learned Multiple times in order to truly achieve something grand. Must hold Rat hand seal until the technique connects with the targets shadow.
Description: Using the shadows of other objects, the user can extend their shadow beyond its normal range. The amount of time for which an opponent can be held is limited by the user's chakra, since the user must constantly maintain the jutsu. The jutsu is also more difficult to maintain at greater ranges or for multiple opponents, since the user's shadow must be stretched constantly. At closer ranges, it requires considerably less effort on the user's part. Additionally, the target can force their way free with enough effort, though the amount of effort required to do so is considerable. There are two tables or understandings for this technique that consists of the Difficulty class of the User as well as the Opponent, and as to how far the user is capable of using this technique. When first learned the user is only capable of using this technique at a distance of Ten meters. Each higher Rank archived, the user is capable of extending the shadow another five meters. The user must first however, learn each rank a certain amount of times before then next rank is obtainable. The C rank version must be learned five times total. At which point the ditance is upgraded to "B" Rank training and now extends ten meters each time trained. This version must be learned 3 times total. The "A" Rank version, extends the range to Seventy meters, and every additional "A" Rank training extends it another ten meters. This technique caps out at 100 meters. The user is capable of making their shadow split and by doing so takes up the distance of the total form of the original technique. This means that if a user has this technique to where they can use thirty meters and wishes to make this technique split to three shadows the maximum distance is ten meters per shadow.

<sub>The large cycle of air, slashing in Kageme's direction was overwhelming as he tried to strafe to the left. It slashed through his jacket on his left arm, piercing his skin and dropping him to the ground. He let out a small grunt as he lies on the floor contemplating his next moves. He holds the gash that resides on his arm and keeps it from bleeding over his jacket. Reaching into his butt bag he pulls out a kunai and holds it in his hands.

Kageme would use one of his hands to complete the handseals and transfer his chakra in his kunai quickly. He kept if concealed along his side so that the handseals couldn't be visible. He then tossed the kunai behind his back, just a bout five meters behind him and pulled up the 'rat' handsign. He focused his emitting chakra to the bottom of his feet, expanding his shadow and manipulating it to jut along the ground. Forcing him to let go of his cut, he began to bleed on his clothes.</sub>

Drawback: Multiple uses (such as 3-6 times of use) of this jutsu could cause the user to pass out from an irregular breathing pattern.
Description: A huge blast of air shoots out of the users mouth with a thousand or less chakra needles flying within it and fans out in a cone-like shape.
Limit: Must have Wind Release

Ankoku notices the kunai that was thrown behind his opponent, it was a mysterious move but Ankoku realized he had bigger problems. Their was a black mass coming towards Ankoku, the thought crossed his mind he'd heard of the Nara clan. They had control over their shadows, a very useful technique. This move in particular was their specialty. The shadow had the ability to follow its target.

Ankoku darted out of the way to create more distance between him and the shadow. Ankoku begins to breathe in while performing the three hand seals necessary. The chakra pours into the very creases of his lips and teeth. Ankoku knows it now or never and that this is his last resort. He roars out loud producing an unnecessary amount of needles that burst from his mouth.

_{Kageme could see the needles coming in his general direction, emitting from the opposing mouth. They slid through the air as a hot knife has the ability to cut through butter. Though the shadows from the needles coursing through the air were pasted on the canvas of the ground. The shadow from his Jutsu continued to jut through all of the moving shadows from the needles. By the time his shadow connected, he could feel a number of needles sticking out of his shirt, stuck within his skin. The more time he wasted, the more needles would enter his body, quicker and quicker. He course the shadow up the enemy's chest and towards his neck, attempting to stop the needles from continuously coming.}

[Tzuri]

Ankoku watched as the needles pierced his opponents body, one by one. Ankoku's plan was only half successful he intended for the needles to hit the target but i also sealed his fate he began to become faint headed as the gift of the Nara clan was wrapped around his neck taking his very life from him. Ankoku blacked out every now and then, he tried to fight it but it was no use, this was going to be the end of him and his opponent. Ankoku was never prouder in his life he figured that in death he would also be able to win.

[✗Gohma✗]

_{"Damn it," Kageme would say, with more than five hundred needles pointed out of his body. Needles sticking from his forehead, he would look at the ground and mumble more to himself. "I failed you." The shadow retracted from his enemy, as he fell to the ground and fell to his side, blood escaping him. As well as his vision and his sanity. Soon he would be mumbling useless, insanity to himself. It would be all over, in a matter of one minute.}
