~ Riku woke up after an almost sleepless night. He was nervous for his first fight. He got up, and got ready for the fight. He found the small weapons he had bought the previous night, and put them in his pockets. He looked for Tsuzumi or even Daiki, but they where nowhere to be found. With a saddened sigh, he headed toward the stadium where he would be fighting. ~

~ He soon found himself in front of an immense ship. It was snow white, and looked peaceful sitting in the still water. Riku could see a tall, black caboose somewhere in the center of the boat. He approached the loading dock, and was greeted by a sailor. ~

Sailor: "This site if for contestants only! Please give your name."

Riku: "Riku Sabure, Genin of the Village Hidden in the Sand."

~ The sailor nodded, and allowed him to board the ship. With one look of the main deck, Riku determined that he was the first one there. He walked to the front of the ship, right in front of the Captains Quarter. He looked out at sea; seeing the dark storm clouds, and the occasional light of lightning. ~

Riku: A storm is coming. I’ll have to keep an eye on that. I don’t know I’ll be able to use the sand to fight if it gets wet… "Well, I guess I should prepare for the fight.."

Riku pulled out a kunai, and the six feet of wire. He tied the wire to the kunai, and spun it to make sure it would not come loose.

~Satisfied he shoved the kunai back into his pockets, and jumped on top of the Captains Quarter to wait for his opponent.~

*Shussui dashed up the ramp to the boat, showing the man his shinobi ID. Shussui noticed many large crates on the right side of the boat. That would be his starting position.*

Shussui:"Hmmph."

*Shussui held his right hand up to his chest in a familiar seal and shunshined to the crates. He didn't want his opponent to even see him board the ship.*

Shussui:Nice and sneaky.

*Shussui uncorked his water pack and performed a few hand seals. Using Mizu Bunshin without his own water would cost him way too much chakra. He wouldn't waste anything in this fight. He communicated to the clone with sign language and began skulking around his crate.*

OoC: Woops i 4got to give my equipment so here it is:
5 kunai
5 exploding notes
6 ft of wire

~ Riku sighed as he waited for his opponent. He was still standing on top of the Captains Quarter. He inwardly cursed his opponent for making him wait, and jumped off of the roof onto the main deck to search for his opponent.~

~ As his foot touched the hard surface of the boat, he heard a deafening *crack* and then a loud boom. A second later a shower a barrage of rain hit the deck, resulting in continuous sound of water crashing into the ground. Riku was drenched in seconds. He checked his left arm, making sure that the weight did not dissolve. A small smile appeared on his face when he found the weight still held together. ~

Riku: I won’t be able to use it until the rain stops… so I guess I will just have to by some time…

~ Riku pulled out the kunai with the wire attached to it, and hid it in the left sleeve of his shirt. He made sure that the wire kept it from falling out, by wrapping it around his right hand. If anyone popped out, he could easily unravel the wire, and throw the kunai at them. He walked past the caboose, and saw the first of a line of crates. ~

Riku: This is the only place I haven’t checked yet…

~ He stopped, letting the harsh wind and rain pelt his face. The wind whistled past his ears and the sound of thunder cracked almost constantly. Visibility was low in the circumstances, so he closed his left fist, and prepared for himself for the unpredictable... ~

OOC: lol same. 5 Shuriken and 2 Kunai

*Shussui felt the rain fall on himself and his clone. This was a godsend. The cool rain pelted his face. The rocking of the boat calmed him. This tanker was his forte. The opponent stood no chance. Shussui shook his wet hair. He had wasted 5 seconds of his time thinking and his opponent's sloppy footsteps only drew nearer. He moved, hoping the rain would shield him. He began creeping around the right side of the crates.*

The real Shussui is moving to the edge of the boat where he will creep around in the rain.

Shussui:Alright enemy.....bring your worst.

*Shussui pulled a kunai from his pocket and peaked around towards the caboose.*

~ Rain, wind, and thunder made it almost impossible for him to see or hear. Riku figured that his opponent was in the same situation as him. As he thought about this, a small plan formulated in his head. After thinking it through, and its possible repercussions, he decided that it was the only thing he could possibly do. He backed away from the caboose, about a few meters away. He gathered chakra into his legs, and then he sprinted towards the caboose, moving faster then he had ever run before. ~

Riku: Here I come!

~ As soon as he reached the caboose, he pushed himself to the ground, his momentum pushing him forward, as he slid across the slick deck, with his front facing the crates. The kunai appeared in his left hand, as he slid past the caboose. He looked like a soccer player, about to slide tackle someone. The rain caused him to squint, but as he slid he saw a dark figure He flicked his left hand, throwing the kunai at the figure. He didn’t care if it was his opponent or not, he was happy that the fight was starting. ~

*Shussui pulled his head back behind the crate. The kunai flew by him taking splinters of wood with it. There was a crate to Shussui's left that would offer him cover away from his opponents eyes. He made a mad dash towards the crate.*

While the clone is distracting Riku, the real Shussui is moving around the caboose, back towards the crates, but keeping his distance away from his
opponent.

~ Riku continued to slide toward the raised part of the deck. He snapped his head back to see the figure dart behind one of the crates. He hit the raised wall with a *smack*, but was otherwise unhurt. He pulled his right arm, recalling the kunai. He examined it for a second. There was no blood, but residue of wood. With a grunt, he pulled out an exploding note out of his pocket. He was serious now. ~

Riku: I’m going to finish this…

~ Riku feared that the rain would lessen the explosion, but all in all it would still be big, hopefully enough to take out his opponent. He jumped off of the raised deck, into the air. He wrapped the tag across the handle of the kunai, and threw it into the middle of the crates. His intent was to blow up everything… ~

Nova

08-25-2007, 07:14 PM

*Seeing his chance. Shussui darted out from behind the caboose and leapt into the air grabbing the back of Riku's neck with his right hand and bringing him face first onto the wet deck of the tanker. Shussui pulled Riku's left arm behind his back and pinned him down with his knee.*

Shussui:"Don't think of moving."

OOC: I'm calling the fight. Judges should see how it happened.

EDIT: Due to the judges decision, the fight continues.

???:"Don't think of moving."

Riku: Hmph..

~ As his opponent sat upon Riku like a king, the boat suddenly hit a large wave, causing his opponent to loose balance temporarily. Riku took the chance, and sprung off from underneath him. They both stood. This was the first time Riku saw his opponent clearly. It had stopped raining for a moment, giving them both a rest from the downpour of water. They where still on the raised deck ~

~ Riku spread out his legs, getting into the basic TaiJutsu stance. He dared not release the weight yet darting at his opponent; he pulled a kunai out of his pocket, and flicked it at his opponent. When he was close enough, he brought up his right leg, intending to kick his opponent in the neck. He kept both his arms in front of him, protecting his chest from a counter attack. ~

Nova

08-25-2007, 09:34 PM

*Shussui got up to his feet to see his opponent charging and a kunai flying towards him. He could see that his enemy was partial to taijutsu by his stance. Being close to him was a position that Shussui did not want to be in.*

Shussui:Why this?

*Shussui dodged the kunai and was ready to move, but his opponent was already too close. Shussui brought up his hand blocking the kick, but it was too powerful. The kick sent his forearm into the side of his face and sent him toppling over towards the Captain's Quarters.*

SFX:BOOM!

*The deluge came down on the two with force. Lightning and thunder crackling around them.*

08-25-2007, 09:45 PM

~ The wind had picked up again, as well as the lightning and thunder. Hail pelted both Riku and his enemy. However, there was no rain, and the weight on his left arm was dry… With a smile he raised two fingers to his face, while brining up his left arm. He jumped of the roof, now above his target. ~

Riku: I'm not letting you go now that ur so close... "KI!"

~ The weight on his left arm exploded into sand, which moved around his arm and fist, forming a hard shell. The sand was now covering his entire fist, and most of his arm. As he fell towards the ground, the hail pelted his body, but he ignored the welts, and punched downward… right where his opponent was! ~

Nova

08-25-2007, 10:01 PM

*Shussui whispered something and disappeared from the opponents attack ending up only a few meters away. He breathed heavily and wiped away blood at his bottom lip. He pulled out his last kunai and stood his ground. Hoping that something would tip this fight into his favor again.*

Shussui's clone is slowly, but surely making his way towards the captain's quarters by clinging to the railing of the ship. He will be there post after next.

~ As the punch approached his opponent’s body, it disappeared, causing Riku’s fist to break into the deck. ~

Riku grabbed a handful of hail that was on the ground, hidden within his right hand.

~ He pulled himself up, and looked around, finding his opponent a few meters away. ~

Riku: How’d he get over there? That wasn’t a kawarmi…

~ The wind blew, and the hail kept on falling, but Riku ignored that as he ran towards his opponent. When he got close, he flung his right fist at his opponents face and opened it, releasing the ice crystals in to the face of his opponent, as his sand covered fist headed straight for the enemy’s stomach. He did not stop running as he punched however, he was going to push this genin of the side of the boat…~

*Shussui was in a bad position. His opponent was coming in for another strike. He had to act quickly. Shussui wasn't a strong taijutsu user, but he had gone through training. His opponent swung his right fist, then his left.*

With a smile he raised two fingers to his face, while brining up his left arm. He jumped of the roof, now above his target. ~

Riku: I'm not letting you go now that ur so close... "KI!"

~ The weight on his left arm exploded into sand, which moved around his arm and fist, forming a hard shell. The sand was now covering his entire fist, and most of his arm. As he fell towards the ground, the hail pelted his body, but he ignored the welts, and punched downward… right where his opponent was! ~

Shussui:His left is the real attack!

*Shussui braced himself and brought down his right arm to take on the attack. As he did this, Shussui flung the kunai with his left towards his opponent's next step. He could only hope it would find its target.*

Shussui's water clone is well on his way towards the battle. Making sure not to be seen.

~ His opponent quickly blocked his left attack, casually hitting down his hand. As he took another step, he saw the quick movement of the hand, and a glint of steel. It could only mean one thing... He quickly forced himself backwards, by pushing off the foot on the ground. He succeeded in avoiding a direct hit with the kunai, but a second later he felt a huge gash of pain circulate through his entire left arm. ~

Riku: Damn...

~ He was now in the air, heading backwards. The sand began to fall off of his arm... He spun himself in air, pulling out a kunai and a explosive note. With a little help of his left arm, he managed to attach the note, and throw it at his opponent, as the front of his body became visible again. He was only a few feet away, so he ignited it the tag, and braced himself for the ensuing blast... ~

Nova

08-26-2007, 01:26 PM

*Shussui couldn't avoid the blast anymore than his opponent could. He made sure to move out of the way of the kunai and wrapped his arms around the rail.*

SFX: BOOM!

*The explosive tag went off with a blast, flames scorched at Shussui's back. He had taken a bad injury, but he knew the fight was over. He'd planned it from the beginning, save for a few setbacks.*

Shussui:He's in position/

*Shussui's water clone grabbed the enemy from behind, putting his arm under his and around his head then lifting the smaller boy off the ground.*

Shussui:"Your in no position to get out now. Even if you move the clones end means no more sand."

OOC: I'm calling it. Nice match med. May the best man win.

Tetsu spotted the barge as it came into view. The large ship anchored at the dock and was shortly after tied up. Glancing at the shinobi by the dock, Tetsu showed his entry sheet and his headband. The man nodded, and called to his partner.

Man:"Let the kid aboard, Rosofizu."

Rosofizu:"Alright, kid. Hop onboard."

Tetsu nodded and walked up the entry ramp and stepped onto the ship. He instantly noted the slippery floor and was careful walking up the stairs. While ondeck, he hid behind a corner, axe in hand. He was ready for anything.

Having lost her fight in the preliminary rounds of the Tournament of the Sun, Kagirinai Anryoku was rather down. Though… ‘rather down’ was an understatement. She was destroyed. Nearly as much as she was when she came back from Capricoso. The night she got back from her battle, she collapsed into her pillow and cried her heart out. After such a build-up, she had lost in a matter of minutes! As her head drowned in her pillow, she silently wished for another chance….

Imagine her surprise when she got told a few days later that someone had pulled out of the tournament. At first, she could not believe it… but then, when the messenger told her that they had chosen her to replace the person, she was beyond overwhelmed! Having leapt into the messenger’s arms and raced up to Jin to tell him about the news, she could not contain the floods of happiness that flowed in her.

Now, Anryoku stood at a port, where she was to board the arena. It was a few days after she had heard the news. Her mind had focused by now. Instead of the eagerness of a child, she stood with a grim face of a veteran (though she was far from that). The sky was clouded, showing signs of an imminent storm. She browsed around… her eyes scanned across the tanker that she was about to board. It would be a tough fight.

As the silver-haired shinobi stepped onto the boat, she could feel something was wrong. The floor was slippery!! Very slippery, as if grease was smeared all over it! Upon closer inspection, she saw that there was, in fact, some greasy substance all over the ship. This would make life hard for her… very hard.

When she had finally climbed onto the boat and had acquainted herself with the surface of the tanker, she checked her equipment… 10 hari…8 kunai…3 exploding tags…. More then enough wire… and her wakizashi, which dangled gracefully at her right hand side.

She looked up, with newly found determination. She was at the left hand side of the raised section of the deck, peering over a series of crates. Slowly, she put her hands to her face and whispered something into her palms, so softly that only she could hear…

‘Bunshin no jutsu’

Immediately after the poof of clouds, shot three Anryoku’s, each to a different part of the ship. The first fired towards the base of the smokestack of the tanker. The second made her way to the captain’s quarters’ roof. The third leapt in between all of the crates and hid amongst them, waiting for the impending battle.

“This time… it will end differently” She whispered to herself, as her hand lay resting on the hilt of her wakizashi…

OOC: PM sent on the whereabouts of the real Anry

OOC:Permission by Nick to include 26 hari to my inventory list.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The giant wave slammed against the starboard side of the ship, startling Tetsu. He lost his balance and fell off his feet. Sliding on the slippery deck, he crashed to the floor. Unfortunately, the fall was unmuffled, compromising the shinobi's position. Forced to start moving, Tetsu drew his himagitana and three hari after forming several handseals.

Tetsu: ("Suiton:Tama Kyanon")

Five orbs of water rose from 3 canteens that hung from Tetsu's waist. The baseball sized-spheres orbited around him. At his will they would move. He trained for situations involoving the use of this particular jutsu to the fullest. The genin glanced at his himagitana. The long blade was a weapon made specially for silent killings. There was a chance that he would be using the blade in stealth, but it was unlikely. The steel would most likely clash with other steel in this match.

Tetsu attempted to run but remembered how slippery the floor was. Applying chakra to his feet, Tetsu leaped onto the side walls of the tanker.

Tetsu: ("Tree climbing really helped...")

Running, on the wall, the shinobi was capable of moving quickly, silently, and stealthily. As he reached a corner, he peeked by to view the situation. All that stood there was cargo.

Tetsu: ("Hmm, lemme see how I should go about this...I know.")

Hopping onto the higher deck quietly, Tetsu regripped one hari and pulled out another to replenish his stock. He viewed his target, enfused the hari with chakra, and was about to toss the needle towards the shinobi as he got a better view.

Tetsu: ("A kunoichi!? I thought....oh well, I'll just keep myself controlled...")

Tetsu readied his spheres of water as he stepped back further, not to be seen. With the flick of his wrist, he sent a hari in her direction. Wanting to see his outcome before being thrown into battle, he performed some handseals.

Tetsu: ("Henge.")

Tetsu transformed into a cargo box as he leaped off the wall. The box landed silently by the others in the back, not to disturb the kunoichi. "The box" sat in wait, viewing his opponent as the hari came near. Now well hidden, Tetsu morphed back, still unseen. He crouched low to avoid being seen by the kunoichi. His himagitana laid in his firm grasp, ready for use as the orbs rotated horizontally so that they would not be seen.

Tetsu: ("Okay; all I need to do is lay low until she reacts. Cal the hell down, Tetsu. It's a girl.)"

His nerves making him sweat, Tetsu's drops of sweat added to the slippery substance that covered the deck. His hands began to slide. Not wanting to make any more noise, he took a dep breath and held on tight. He would not slip, he told himself.

Tetsu:"Damnit, I just want to get his over with."

The shinobi lifted his head to see the hari slowly coming twars the kunoichi. It was either he was moving quickly, or that hari was painfully slow due to a lack of force. Either way, this was painful to watch. Ducking his head back down, Tetsu sat "patiently" in wait to be able to move in.

OOC: Do those water balls also undergo the henge? Also, i was confused at when you threw the hari, as there were no bunshins on the raised deck after anry performed the jutsu, so i assumed you threw it before she performed the jutsu.

What Kagirinai Anryoku did not know, was that her opponent had seen her, even before she had performed her bunshin. As she stood on the raised deck of the tanker, her opponent had thrown a slow-moving hari at her. Was it to test the water? Who knew? However, the hari did not make it in time, as Anryoku had already performed her bunshin jutsu after her opponent had thrown the hari. By the time the hari was in her position, three copies of Anry were already flying through the sky, towards there respective positions.

Flying through the air, the real Anryoku noticed something that caught her eye…

‘I could see all the crates earlier… was that one there?’

Regardless, the three Anryoku’s flew threw the sky, each landing at their respective areas. One in between the crates, one at the base of the smoke stack and one at the roof of the captain’s quarters. Each one had a bit of a struggle to get their footing, but eventually got it right (the bunshins merely did it to not give away their identity).

When all three were in position, they began their routine.

The Anry in between the crates started stalking through the area, her hand held close to her wakizashi… her eyes were peeled, ready for whatever was to come! She spied an open crate, which held nothing in it…

Meanwhile, the Anry at the smoke stack rotated around it, observing all she could see.. but as she moved, the clouds cracked open, unleashing the fury of the storm! Torrential rain hollered down upon the tanker, along with blasts of lighting and god-driven winds! The boat rocked menacingly, churning against the waves! The Anry at the smoke stack had to work hard to keep her balance and to see through the storm…

At the same time, the third Anry, at the Captains Quarters leapt from the roof and into the quarters, to avoid getting wet, otherwise, the plan would go to waste…

When the storm broke out, the Anryoku amongst the crates moved into one of the crates, one that was rather spacious inside. Inside, she held her one hand close to her wakizashi and another at her pouch, ready for an impending battle.

Footsteps rung through Tetsu's ears. The kunoichi was approaching where he laid. Quickly, he crawled around the boxes as she turned around the corner. She held a sword in one hand. Here other hand was in her pocket. This spelled out trouble for Tetsu. Holding his Himagitana, he crawled around the other side of the crates to get a better view of the ninja from behind.

Tetsu: ("Time to throw her off my tail.")

Projecting his voice towards the end of the deck, the shinobi called out in a roar.

As the voice boomed off the deck, the genin began to piece together his plot. Jetting out handseals furiously, he formed his plan. A bushin sailed from behind Anry holding an axe at his side.

Tetsu Bushin:"Rahr, I didn't know I was facing a sex machine. Foxxy lady, why don't we just forget about fighting and get to knowing eachother better, huh?"

As his distraction was placed in, the real Tetsu scurried to another side of the ship. More seals were thrown out and the shinobi sent off another bushin. As he sent this one off, he leaped into the water.

Before making contact, Tetsu henged into a dolphin. From the sea, he could view all events while he was safe.

The second bushin slid across the deck, making a crash downstairs. Picking itself up, it ran, knocking on all the doors downstairs.

Tetsu: ("Oh, I hope this works out as planned...")

The "dolphin" flipped in the air before landing back into the sea. Its eye gleamed as its head rose from the water.

OOC: A short post to burst us out of a stalemate and hide and go seek.
Dun worry, I'm not getting any softer Azzy. We got a good match coming up.

Azure Wrath

09-03-2007, 09:56 AM

From the smoke stack of the tanker, Kagirinai Anryoku observed all that happened on the ship. All of the action seemed to happen at the crates on the ship. Anryoku could see her opponent leap behind her one bunshin. He was a little guy, with brown hair and… it seemed to be blue eyes, though she could have been mistaken…

“Rahr, I didn't know I was facing a sex machine. Foxxy lady, why don't we just forget about fighting and get to knowing eachother better, huh?”

The arrogant cry of the youngster made Anryoku smile. It would be fun to pummel this kid up. Soon after the kid’s little war cry, she could see another one of her opponents running around… he fell down the stairs… but she realized that it would make a noise if it was really her opponent, so she disregarded it. Then, a plan formed in her mind, as she saw a vague image leap of the side of the tanker, next to the oil barrels. She gripped her wakizashi, as she peered at the side of her opponent. Upon the smoke stack, he wouldn’t be able to see her and he was too busy looking at the bunshin of Anry, which was still heading towards the open cargo container. The real Anryoku smiled. He was concealed from most views, but not hers.

At that moment, the storm still raged on, dealing a great wave that smashed into the side of the boat. This caused the boat to lift high above the water level, making it nearly impossible to see the surface of the boat from the water. This was when Anryoku’s plan sprung into action, a second after the kid’s battle cry. With a burst of chakra at her feet, Anryoku launched herself towards her enemy, who was standing between two crates. As she blasted forwards, she took a good look at her blue-eyed opponent…

It was only when she hit the ground, that she changed her plan.

As she landed, she slid across the floor. It was impossible to keep her footing, thus she slid a long way, not being able to strike her opponent. She looked at the blue-eyed boy… then grunted, as she dashed towards the crate, where her bunshin was waiting. She had big plans that she would lay, but it had to start there… As she ran from her opponent from between the crates, she hopped into the container, where her bunshin awaited… and quickly she reached for her bag… it was time to make some preparations…

OOC: He he he. I could have been very evil and just driven the boat away! ^_^

OOC 2: Creds to papflas for the humerous OOC. ^_^

OOC:That wasn't very berry nice, AZ. I'm gonna have to spank yah.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The bushin stopped grinning as another Anry popped over before him. This one was also equipped with a wakizashi. She popped into a crate as the other stood before him, weapon in hand.

Tetsu:"Two of yah, eh? Guess more for me to show off my devilish good looks to."

The ship settled down, giving Tetsu a better view of what was happening onboard. By squinting his eyes, he could see his bushin with his hand behind his back, twiddling its fingers. This was a sign for Tetsu. Reacting quickly, he dove down underneath the water and searched about for an entrance at the bottom of the ship. Swimming around the bottom, he could find nothing. Turning around, he noticed a rusty object. It was long and thick. It had to be...

Tetsu: ("An anchor! Perfect.")

Tetsu released the seal, ending the henge. He slowly placed his foot on the rusty chain and began to climb his way back onboard. As his head came out from the water, he began to pick up the pace. From the chain, he drew chakra to his feet and leaped up onto the ship. Landing on the port side of the ship.

Slowly, he walked over behind Anry and sent an orb of water straight into her back. It went right through her without a noise or entry mark.

Tetsu: ("A bushin...that means that the other one is...")

The genin signalled for the bushin to step on the crate. To make noise for the bushin, Tetsu kicked a nearby crate. This would make it seem like the real Tetsu was on the crate. The bushin peered down inside the box and was once again projected by the real Tetsu who was a few feet away.

Tetsu:"Hi there. It looks like we're meeting for real."

Leaping down off the crate, the bushin walked in front of where Anry sat in the crate and grabbed its axe. In order to intimidate the kunoichi, it threw the axe blade first into the crate.

Tetsu: ("That should spook her into leaving the crate in a panic.")

OOC: Ok, LP… you screwed my big plan… and I’m a tad sad about that one… So you will pay! Mwa ha ha!

The first Anry ran towards the crate… however, it was a shame that she met a blast of water in her back, revealing that she was a bunshin. Thus, she poofed into a puff of smoke. Now, the second Anry was left, one who also ran into the crate.

However, her opponent had returned from his swim, meaning it was time for action! When he came onboard, he signaled at his bunshin to step onto the crate. The bunshin looked… and then leapt onto the crate. A loud smash was heard… but it was heard from somewhere else… The bunshin’s eyes flickered a bit. At this moment, the storm suddenly seized. The rain that came down suddenly stopped and the wind slowed down. The storm was over…. For now…

At that stage, the Anryoky from inside the crate burst out, with her emerald wakizashi in her hand! She burst forwards, towards the Arashi who had made the noise! With a sudden movement, she burst forward and leapt over him! Landing behind him, she swivels on her feet, nearly falling due to the slippery effect of the floor. Next to her stood another Anryoku, the one from the Captain’s Quarters, who had come around as well. If Arashi turned to late towards Anry, then he would not know which one was the real one. Both faced their opponent. It was time for the melee of the century!

OOC: So, lemme explain what happened in my previous post. There was a paragraph omitted there and was sent to the judges. Let me post repost that post, with its added part:

From the smoke stack of the tanker, Kagirinai Anryoku observed all that happened on the ship. All of the action seemed to happen at the crates on the ship. Anryoku could see her opponent leap behind her one bunshin. He was a little guy, with brown hair and… it seemed to be blue eyes, though she could have been mistaken…

“Rahr, I didn't know I was facing a sex machine. Foxxy lady, why don't we just forget about fighting and get to knowing eachother better, huh?”

The arrogant cry of the youngster made Anryoku smile. It would be fun to pummel this kid up. Soon after the kid’s little war cry, she could see another one of her opponents running around… he fell down the stairs… but she realized that it would make a noise if it was really her opponent, so she disregarded it. Then, a plan formed in her mind, as she saw a vague image leap of the side of the tanker, next to the oil barrels. She gripped her wakizashi, as she peered at the side of her opponent. Upon the smoke stack, he wouldn’t be able to see her and he was too busy looking at the bunshin of Anry, which was still heading towards the open crate. The real Anryoku smiled. He was concealed from most views, but not hers.

At that moment, the storm still raged on, dealing a great wave that smashed into the side of the boat. This caused the boat to lift high above the water level, making it nearly impossible to see the surface of the boat from the water. This was when Anryoku’s plan sprung into action, a second after the kid’s battle cry. With a burst of chakra at her feet, Anryoku launched herself towards her enemy, who was standing between two crates. As she blasted forwards, she took a good look at her blue-eyed opponent…

It was only when she hit the ground, that she changed her plan.

~~

As Anryoku flied through the air, she unsheathed her wakizashi. With her opponent’s bunshin between the two crates, she would be able to take him out without the real Arashi seeing it (also due to the ships level being higher then the water level). As she leapt forward and slashed, she realized that it was just a bunshin (thus it would ~poof~). As she realized this, still hidden behind the crates, she performed two sudden sets of seals. The first was another bunshin jutsu, which led to her creating a copy of herself. The second was a henge jutsu, which she used to transform her appearance to that of her opponent. It was after that, that the fake Anryoku ‘slid’ out form the crates, open to the real Arashi to see, while the real Anryoku (appearing to be Arashi’s bunshin) stood facing the bunshin.

~~

As she landed, she slid across the floor. It was impossible to keep her footing, thus she slid a long way, not being able to strike her opponent. She looked at the blue-eyed… then grunted, as she dashed towards the crate, where her bunshin was waiting. She had big plans that she would lay, but it had to start there… As she ran from her opponent from between the crates, she hopped into the crate, where her bunshin awaited… and quickly she reached for her bag… it was time to make some preparations…

So, Arashi’s bunshin is actually Anry in a henge. When Arashi signaled her to leap onto the crate, she saw it and acted upon the signal. When she landed, she did her best effort NOT to make a noise and when Arashi projected his voice, she simply staid quiet. Both the Anry’s that are facing Arashi are bunshins, though he does not know this. Anryoku also knows the exact position of Arashi, because she could trace his position by the noise he created when she landed.

It was at this stage, that things started to turn ugly. When the two Anry’s were facing Arashi, Arashi’s bunshin at the top of the crate silently dropped to the ground (as his owner had intended), but Anryoku was far away from the crate now. The two Anry’s were now taking all of Arashi’s attention. It was time. The bunshin moved out of Arashi’s line of sight…

In utter silence, the bunshin raised a finger to his face… and suddenly, he turned into… Anryoku!! Anryoku had released the henge that had concealed her as Arashi’s bunshin. Now, holding her wakizashi ready, she peered over at Arashi… It was time for the stealth kill of the year. Readying her wakizashi in her one hand and some chakra in her other hand, she moves forward, as silent as the godless winds. Instead of walking, Anryoku uses the slippery surface to ‘skate’ forwards. Soon, she is sliding forward at a remarkable speed, right at Arashi’s blindside, while he was hopefully distracted by her bunshins…

Then she leaps into the air, doing a roll in mid-air. As she does, she flips her body, so that she is upside down… and slices at Arashi’s shoulder with all of her might!! In her other hand, she has readied chakra, for a just in case emergency….

OOC: Hold on, man, hold on.

You changed your plans in an edit of a past post? I'm confuzzled. Was this approved?

Also, my bushin was standing right there also, so...?

Azure Wrath

09-05-2007, 06:04 PM

OOC: This was already planned and done during my previous post. I sent that to all of the judges of our fight. The PM was sent right after i made the post.

Also, i wrote it that she did the 'switch-eroo' when your bunshin was concealed from the real you (between the crates, ships level higher then water, thus the dolphin couldn't see)

You can ask any of our judges (sol, nick, bart) about the pm. it's resting in all of their inboxes and its been there before you posted your post.

Lost Prophet

09-06-2007, 03:08 PM

OOC:fair enough, Azure. I can deal with that.

EDIT:Actually, hold on. I forgot; bushins don't [POOF]. They are merely projections, therefore your hit goes right through them. Plus, Neji tried using his bushins to take out other bushins, bit was aprehended for it.

Believe me; you had a great plan. I would love to react to it in my best, but there are some issues to it. I'm sending this to the judges to be reviewed.

Thanks for the patience, Azure.

EDIT 2: The matter was resolved. Your plan is fine. Now, back to the match.

OOC:Alright, time to face the music...

I left alone my mind was blank
I needed time to think to get the memories from my mind

What did I see can I believe that what I saw
that night was real and not just fantasy

Just what I saw in my old dreams were they
reflections of my warped mind staring back at me

'Cos in my dream it's always there the evil face that twists my mind
and brings me to despair

The night was black was no use holding back
'Cos I just had to see was someone watching me
In the mist dark figures move and twist
Was this all for real or some kind of hell
666 the number of the beast
Hell and fire was spawned to be released

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Tetsu twisted around abruptly upon noticing the kunoichi flying over his shoulder. Turning, he seen two Anrys before him. He didn't like his chances, because the choice of attacking the wrong one would doom him. So, it was then that he made his move.

With a grin, he leaped off of his feet and sweeped his feet into both. Preparing for his opponent to react based on instinct, he sent another orb of water straight for the first Anry. She blew away upon impact; it was a bushin. To make sure he had the real deal beside the dud, he pulled a hari out from a pouch and tossed it straight for the other. Upon impact, it dissapeared also. That means that both were duds. As he went to rise back on his feet, he noted another Anry above him with a wakizashi and chakra in reach to be used. The genin rolled back to avoid the slash and thrusted his axe out from its holder. With two orbs popped, he had three left in reach. They swirled around his body calmly, protecting him and giving him an offense at easy reach if needed. Tetsu squatted and leaped into the air, gathering chakra to his hands.

Water began to slowly creep up the starboard side of the ship at the shinobi's will. The water formulated into a small wave. As the water came up above the deck, Tetsu leaped and pulled his arm behind his back to signal the water to rise and move straight towards Anry's back.

Tetsu: ("Wow, my father's teachings are starting to really come in handy...time to drop the bomb, though.")

Tetsu bashed out a seal from behind his back and chucked his axe straight towards Anryoku. The large cleaver flew towards the kunoichi like a bullet. The menacing blade gleamed in the storm as it came close to the airborned genin.

KAI!

A poof of smoke appeared before Anry as the axe came close to hitting. The smoke cleared....revealing the axe again! Tetsu faked a jutsu combo, leaving the cleaver to continue sailing towards his opponent!

While remaining in the air, the shinobi sent two spheres of water to come from above and below his opponent and smash into her, boxing her inside in midair. Holding on tightly to the wall of the upper deck, Tetsu viewed the circumstances he dumped upon his opponent and watched as the events unfolded.

A himagitana shone as lightning cracked the sky. Tetsu held it tightly as he ran upon the deck. Sliding, he leaped off behind Anry and began to manipulate his final orb. He held it in his open palm and began to rush towards his opponent. The orb increased in size as Tetsu applied more water and chakra. Its density increased by Tetsu's actions, making it harder and heavier. This orb would be equal to being hit with a softball after it was thrown by an average high school student.

The shinobi leaped into the air and got ready to toss it as Anry was busy fending off his assault.

OOC:Here yah go, Azzy. I left a present.

It was a sudden roll from her opponent, which made Anryoku realize that she was dealing with a very skilled opponent. Most genin would have met the nasty side of death after a slice like that, but this genin seemed to effortlessly dodge it in a matter of split seconds. However, being airborne, her opponent seemed to take advantage off that… And within the blink of an eye, Anryoku was surrounded. She had an axe coming from the front, a water orb from the bottom and another water orb from the top… and she also spied her opponent move behind her…

… However, Anryoku had plans. While she had launched her attack, she had already readied chakra for an emergency escape… and as her opponent maneuvered behind her, she began the seals. When he was behind her, mere instants before she would be struck by the barrage of attacks, she performed the jutsu, with the grin of Satan on her face.

“Kawarimi no jutsu!”

And suddenly, in two poofs of smoke, Kagirinai Anryoku was now in the position her opponent had been… and he was in the same position she was. Anry had replaced herself with her opponent! It had taken immense chakra and timing to perform the jutsu and to perform it at just the right time… but she had pulled it off. But, she was not done.

As she had just finished replacing herself with her opponent, Anryoku slapped an explosive tag in her hand. She then formed chakra in her palm and suddenly showed the product of her training! With a few seals and some smooth chakra control, Anryoku had readied a crystal in her hand… with the explosive tag stuck inside…. Then…

“Hatsugoori Dangan no jutsu!!!”

With a sudden blast, instants after having replaced with her opponent, Anryoku launched the blast of ice at the back of her opponent. She held her one hand ready, so she could detonate the ice bolt at the right time… If it struck her opponent, she could kill him. If he tried to dodge it, she could detonate it and send thousands of crystalline shards of emerald death at her opponent. And for just in case emergencies, she held her other hand on the hilt of her wakizashi, just in case things went terribly wrong.

But, Anryoku did not think that they would.

A look of shock shone on Tetsu's face as he was thrown into his own attack. He was surprised, but not beaten. With a wave of his arm, he split the wave of water that came from behind him in half and had one part go above him and the other below him. They connected with the two orbs of water and formed into giant spheres of water.

Using his last free orb, Tetsu launched it towards the axe. It bursted on the blade as the genin sidestepped it. Instead of being cut, the weapons slid across his stomach, leaving no marks. With his free hand, he gripped the axe in midair and spun.

The waves of water met and created a large ball. Tetsu sent it straight for Anry. The water would meet the icy blast if it was used. Suddenly, the shinobi threw his axe over the water and Anryoku. As it began to come down on the kunoichi, Tetsu furiously banged out handseals.

POOF!

Tetsu replaced himself with the axe above Anry. His palm was outstretched, holding something that resembled...an ice crystal!

Tetsu:"Hatsugoori Dangan!"

The ice crystal grew in size. In his other hand was a wave of water. He created it by forcing off a portion of the wave below his opponent. With both in his hands, the genin dove straight down into Anry. Tossing the water orb into the air, Tetsu extended the himagitana that was still in his grasp. The orb floated in front of his body as back up.

As Tetsu started down towards his foe, the crystal grew in size. The wave of water also began to rush towards the genin. The attack occupied his opponent. This final strike would end the match....one way or the other...

~*Tournament Battle Complete*~

Short Summary:

Azure Wrath:

Basically this fight went well for you. Your strategies were good and you conducted yourself very well. Although there were no issues with time modding, there was an act that was perceive to be slight god modding. Despite it being used against you earlier and although it is only slight, Kawarimi'ing with an opponent essentially does take control of their character out of their hands, thus it can be considered godmodding. This was your only penalty in this battle. Good work.

Lost Prophet:

Fundamentally, this fight was also good for you. Strategies were well thought out and executed, without noticeable time or god modding. That being said there were other issues that did appear. Jutsu or not, Voice Projecting is not a skill that everybody can attain easily, it requires extensive training. So, because there was no training on such a technique performed, it is considered ability/jutsu abuse. On a similar note, with your level of training your character cannot summon and control water using chakra alone and cause it to attack your opponent. Outside of Tama Kyanon you don't have any jutsu or abilities that can perform such a technique, so again ability/jutsu abuse here. Those were what hampered you in this fight, otherwise it would have been even more difficult to judge this battle...

Judgment:

The winner of this fight is Kagirinai Anryoku (Azure Wrath). For winning Anryoku will recieve $200 and will advance to the second round of the tournament. All judgments are final and are a non bias decision, decided upon by a group of your peers. This judgment has no basis upon prior, nor scheduled rp's by either party.

*The sun kept hidden behind the dense blanket of dark clouds above Kaishi's head. A light drizzle has been at it for a while now, wetting the wooden dock Kaishi was walking on and causing random ripples in the wavy ocean surrounding Kaishi. Kaishi was not in a happy mood, the weather acting as a translator for what was going on in his head. Walking up to the an anchored ship, Kaishi noticed a Jounin standing in front of the only ramp leading up to the deck*

*Kaishi slowly turned his feet on the wet wood he was standing and walked up to the jounin.*

Jounin : Kaishi Ozarami??

*The jounin exclaimed loudly, looking straight at Kaishi. Kaishi only noticed the jounin's lips move as drops of water rolled down his face and onto his clothes. Kaishi stood there, silent, staring back at the Jounin.*

Jounin : Oh right, you condition huh? Guess you can't hear anything I say.

*The jounin flipped his clipboard and pointed next to Kaishi's name and looked at Kaishi. Kaishi barely nodded, walked past the Jounin and up the ramp leading to the ship deck*

Jounin : Ungrateful brat....

*The Jounin yelled out as Kaishi walked past him, but Kaishi didn't hear anything. A dark silence filled his ears as the stepped onto the ship's deck. To his amazement, there were a few kunai and shuriken scattered on the floor. Taking a closer look, Kaishi saw a tall circular structure in the middle of the ship, a bit off to his left, and a bunch of crates at the very back left of the ship. The captain's quarters was erected right in front of him, a metal door facing Kaishi. Walking up to the metal door, Kaishi noticed a stack of explosive tags next to the door and picked them up, placing them in his vest pocket. Leaning up against the door, Kaishi placed his hands together and slowly shuffling his fingers, hung them at his waist, facing the only ramp leading up to the ship deck, waiting for his opponent.*

Katana-Wakizashi (heirloom)
Kunai x22
Explosive Notes x1
Meshubishi x5
Smoke Bomb x1

Makoto: Oh shit!!!

*Rushing towards the docks after purchasing some items from the weapons shop, Makoto realized how late he was for his match against a kid just like him.*

Makoto: (This is going to be interesting...it smells like its going to rain...hmmm!!!)

*As soon as Makoto reached the docks a crack of lightning ignited the sky and thunder roared. For some strange reason Makoto's hearing started to diminish as he closed in on the tanker.*

Makoto: (Damn it...there goes one of the conditions to the fight.)

*All of a sudden the tanker starts to move forward causing the ramp to the tanker to fall upon the dock. With no way of normal entry Makoto had to resort to his favorite style, the shinobi way of entry. Reaching his right hand into his back pouch, Makoto pulled out a chakra pill and popped it into his mouth. Feeling the effects of the pill moments after swallowing, Makoto focus chakra to the soles of his feet and jumped into the wavy water, just behind the tanker. While maintaining a steady flow of chakra to his feet, Makoto took his first step running towards the ship while balancing his weight ontop of the water. After he reached the back of the tanker Makoto placed his right foot on the side and began to walk up to the top.*

Makoto: (I'm on a boat, its about to rain, and I can't hear shit...what luck do I have, but thank God that there will be a lot of weapons onboard.)

While walking up the tanker Makoto began to concentrate small amounts of chakra to his hands to prepare for future plans...they change to medium amounts of chakra as soon as Makoto reaches the top of the tanker.

*Makoto's breathing began to change to a minuscule heavy panting while walking up the side from all the chakra relocations that was going on. After reaching the top of the tanker his breathing returned to normal and Makoto reached down to the floor after losing his balance a little from the rocking of the boat.*

While on the ground Makoto picked up two hari needles.

*As soon as he regained his composure Makoto ran towards the captain's quarters and stood leaning flat upon the wall and began to side-step towards the right side of the boat where the ramp use to be. As soon as he reached the end of the wall Makoto stopped and barely peered around the corner.*

Makoto: (Hmph!!!)

OoC : No probs Irv, just glad we can get this show on the road... no get ready for a world of pain :thumb:

*Lightning stuck in the dark sky above as the boat began to move. Kaishi felt the deck jolt a bit and the ramp in front of him inched away from the ship and fell on the wooden dock. Kaishi's opponent obvisously hadn't come on board, seeing as Kaishi didn't see arrive. Leaning away from the door of the captain's quarters, Kaishi noticed somebody running on the dock at full speed. The silhouette of the person on the dock didn't seem to slow down as he approached the end of the dock and the beginning of the stormy sea.*

Kaishi : And so it begins

*Kaishi kept his eyes on the dark silhouette, now jumping onto water and running towards the ship. As Kaishi began to run to the back of the ship, where the silhouette was heading , Kaishi slammed his palms together and formed a seal. Running in the middle of the ship, there was no way the shinobi on the water could have noticed Kaishi running toward the back of the ship*

Kaishi : Bunshin no Jutsu

*Two Kaishis were now running across the deck to the back of the ship. A terrible lightning struck and torrential rain and wind began to pound the deck of the entire ship, rocking it back and forth. Kaishi remembered his rain training with his father and began to focuse chakra into his entire body. Instantly, the rain began to go around the two Kaishis, not touching them at all. If the humongous waves did not engulf the shinobi running on the water, his chakra must have defenitely been trained by keeping stable on such a rough sea. One of the Kaishis was standing in the back of the ship as the shinobi runnign on the water had now come up right in front of him. The rain pounded the deck and lightning sturck loudly as the two shinobi faced each other. Dark silence filled Kaishi's ears. As the two shinobi faced each other, Kaishi moved his lips and took out two kunai, one in each hand and took at attacking stance*

OoC : I used up about 50-55% of my chakra making the rain evade Kaishi (its in my training thread if u wanna read it)

The Kaishi facing Irv is the fake one. The real Kaishi stood up on one of the crates, looking right at his clone and the shinobi on the raised deck. The real Kaishi began to form seals with his hand

*As the rain began to pour down upon the tanker, Makoto pulled up his goggles to keep the rain out of his eyes so it doesn't blur his vision. Then all of a sudden his opponent Kaishi popped out of nowhere. As Makoto analyzed the shinobi that was said to be just like him, he noticed something.*

Makoto: (Hmmm...the rain isn't touching him...his clothes are bone dry and it would seem that the ripples caused by the rain brushing up against my shoe isn't happening to his...hmmm!)

*At that moment Makoto raised up his hands and threw what would look like to be something. As the objects flew towards Kaishi's right and left shoulders, they disappeared from view as the storm raged on.*

the objects that were thrown were hari.

*With two free hands, Makoto reached into his back pouch and pulled out his trusty tekkos and slipped them into place. As he took on a loose stance for both defense and offense, the objects swam thru the rain towards their destination, Kaishi.*

*A large bolt of lightining struck and thunder echoed in the heavens above as the rain kep pouring down on the ship. The oceans of the world have been overturned. Rain began to hit Kaishi, splashing onto the wood he was standing on. Kaishi's lips stopped moving as two dark objects were now flying straight at him at shoulder level. Suddenly the objects dissapeared out of sight, and the shinobi standing opposite Kaish reached back into his pouch. Taking this as his cue, Kaishi quickly squated down and implanting his tippy toes into the deck, launched himself at the shinobi who just put something on his hands and took a semi-offensive stance. Two pitch black kunai sliced through the cold air. Now only a mere 8 inches from the shinobi's neck*

*The Kaishi standing on the crates had completed forming the seals just as the other Kaishi ducked and launched himself at the shinobi*

Kaishi : (I'm WILL find those responsible for your death, father.)

*Kaishi thought as he stood on the crates and watched the events unfold before his eyes. While the Kaishi on the raised deck flung himself at the shinobi, the Kaishi on the crates fumbled in his pockets and pulled out two kunai, readying to launch them. Rain was now pounding him through skin and bone, soaking him from head to toe. Water dripped down his emotionless face as the Kaishi attacking the shinobi was now only 8 inches away from his neck.*

The kunai in the real Kaishi's right hand has an explosive tag on it. The one in the laft does not.

OoC : You can go ahead and read my previous spoiler. Basically, while you were facing Kaishi on the raised deck the Kaishi on the crates finished forming the seals for Kori Shinchu no Jutsu. Since the Kaishi on the crates had you and his clone in his sight, a genjutsu had now been cast on you.

OOC: I read the spoilers and I have to say that you are one tricky bastard:D...but so am I mwa ha ha :thumb:

*After further analysis of the situation at hand, Makoto realized that the shinobi standing in front of him is a clone. Makoto noticed this from the beginning of their encounter when he saw that the Kaishi standing infront of him did not affect the enviroment, or better, the enviroment did not affect him. After dismantling the clone part of Kaishi's plan, Makoto began to use this time to search for the real Kaishi. As the clone of Kaishi ducked down and began to dash towards Makoto, the fearless sand shinobi felt no incoming threat but stayed on guard while reaching one hand towards his pouch again.*

Makoto: (Hmph!!!)

*Kaishi's clone covered a couple feet when Makoto started to fumble his hand inside the pouch pulling out a concentration pill and a chakra pill. The clone of Kaishi was eight inches from Makoto's neck with a kunai in each hand when Makoto popped the pills into his mouth and started to chew. What seemed to be the beginning of a horrible sight was quikly thrown in the trash as the clone phazed through Makoto like a ghost through a wall.*

Makoto: (Clones...ha!!!)

*Makoto continued his search right for the real Kaishi after the clone disapated into nothingness.*

Makoto: (Where is that tricky bastard...huh!!!)

*While thinking Kaishi's whereabouts, all of a sudden the other Sunaton shinobi was spotted standing on top of some crates. As Makoto squinted his eyes behind his goggles to see what he was holding, a weird sensation crept upon Makoto.*

Makoto: (Kunai in both hands...damn it's hard to see even with these goggles on...what the hell!!!)

*Makoto didn't pay the feeling any mind as he began to dash at the standing Kaishi. As he ran towards Kaishi, Makoto noticed that he was staying in the same spot or better yet, Kaishi was getting further away.*

Makoto: (What the fu...genjutsu...hmmm...it'll be hard for him to sustain this genjutsu during this violent storm and his almost depleted chakra...hmmm!!!)

*After his thoughts, Makoto stop and began to think of a counter strategy.*

While thinking of a strategy Makoto began to concentrate more chakra thru-out his body towards the palms of his hands.

*Kaishi stood there, atop the crates, witnessing his clone pass right through his opponent and whizz away into the air. The rain now soaked through Kaishi's clothes, leaving only the sand in his gourd dry as the desert itself. A small grin came across his face as his opponent began scanning the area around him*

Kaishi : (It's over)

*Kaishi thought to himself, as his opponent's eyes met his for a moment and the shinobi began advancing toward Kaishi. The violent rocking of the boat and the turbulent lightning strikes were now disconcerning to Kaishi. His body had adapted to the uneven movement and his ears adjusted to he loud outbursts in the sky above. Submerging the kunai in his left hand into his pocket, Kaishi fumbled with it for a brief moment and pulled it out. Crossing his arms and preparing to throw the kunai, Kaishi began to channel what was left of his chakra into his hands.*

*Kaishi began to walk slowly toward his advancing opponent, with two kunai spinnin on each of his index fingers. Getting closer to him inch by inch, the shinobi stopped in his tracks, but Kaishi kept advancing, flickering ocassionaly in the now calming rain.*

*Kaishi's oponent was standing atop the raised deck, his body turned slightly left and the right side of his chest and body now facing Kaishi. Without any hesitation, Kaishi flung the two kunai from his hands straight at the shinobi on the raised deck. The chakra Kaishi chanelled into his hands made the kunai fly at amazing speed, slicing the thinning air. The sea began to calm and a single ray of sunlight reflcted off the ship's metal chimney as the two kunai lodged themselves in the shinobi's right calf and right side of his chest. As the kunai touched Kaishi's opponent, Kaishi formed one seal and two powerful blasts engulfed his opponent. Blood splattered everywehre as the now thinning rain qucikly washed away the surrounding smoke, revealing Kaishi's opponent. Kaishi reached his right hand back and his left hand into his pocket. Unsheathing his wakizashi, he began to walk toward his opponent, now a bloody mess*

Kaishi took out a smoke bomb with this left hand as he unsheathed his wakizashi

OOC: this is what happens when you place genjutsu on me...mwa ha ha

*As Makoto stood in spot waiting for the right time to pounce upon his opponent, he could feel the genjutsu weakening with every second. The rain continued to beat down upon the arena as Makoto's sight of Kaishi would flash every other moment exposing the truth behind the genjutsu. Knowing that Kaishi's chakra was about to run empty, Makoto acted as if he did not know what was going on as he peered down at Kaishi on the crates that were just a couple of meters away. Makoto waited patiently as his hands begun to throb with excitement as Kaishi started to raise his arms preparing to throw two kunai. At that moment Makoto seen the attachments that wrapped around the kunai being soaked by the rain. The ink on the notes most likely smeared all over the paper, canceling out the special effects. All of a sudden the genjutsu lifted away as Kaishi targeted Makoto and begun to push his arms forward to release the kunai that were clutched in his hands. At that moment Makoto thrusted his palms towards Kaishi and mouthed a few words that Kaishi could not hear.

Makoto: (Now!!!) Zankuha no jutsu!!!

*As the kunai flew out of Kaishi's hands with extreme speeds, Makoto begun his own offensive manuever to counter Kaishi's. Since the begining of the battle Makoto has been concentrating chakra to the palms of his hands preparing himself to launch his wind element attack. Seeing as now is the right time Makoto unleashed his attack with a great force, as the attack moved forward it picked up the many weapons that were lying on the ground that were not being used like debris in a hurricane or tornado, adding to the destructive power. The storm begun to calm down as the tanker passed under the eye of the storm, but trouble was brewing on the ship as small weapons to large weapons were lifted from their resting places and blasted towards Kaishi. The two kunai that he threw were no match for the onslaught that Makoto brought for him as the debris knocked one of them away, but the other one lodged itself into Makoto's right side of his chest while dozens of hari, kunai, shuriken, a couple of katanas, two metsubishi, a fuuma shuriken, and four dai shuriken made their way towards Kaishi's soaked body, along with the sharp and powerful wind gust that aided them.*

Makoto: Fuck!!!

*Luckily Makoto was wearing his protective vest so the damage was only minor but the tip of the kunai ended up drawing blood from a scratch that it made. As Makoto put his hands down, he prepared for his next move if Kaishi survived what would be unescapable for a shinobi that has exhausted up all of his chakra.*

Makoto reached into his left and right kunai holsters and pulled out a kunai in each hand preparing to throw it at Kaishi if he survived

*Kaishi smirked as his two kunai left his cold lifeless fingers and headed straight for his opponent. But something suddenly happened that Kaishi did not expect. His opponent turned to face Kaishi and extending his arms forward and palms open, moved his lips and a powerful gust emerged from his palms. The power of the wind could already be left by Kaishi, as his silver hair began to fluttler.*

Kaishi : (How did he....)

*But Kaishi had no time to think, as the gust left his opponent's palms. With a whirling furry , the mighty gust began to pick up nearby weapons and engulfing them within its invisible stomach. Kaishi's kunai seemed like toothpicks as the barrage of weapons knocked one of them down. Standing on the crate second farthest fromthe raised deck Kaishi had just enough time to react to his opponents attack.*

*As the debris flew past the first set of crates, Kaishi dropped his wakizashi and took a step backwards, jumping down on the deck and the crate protecting him from the oncoming barrage. But Kaishi was not done just yet. As he dropped his wakizashi and was jumping off the crate, he noticed a manrikigusari next to his feet and grabbed it's chain, puling it down with him as he touched the deck. As soon as he hit the deck, Kaishi dashed to the left, coming out from behind the crate and with one smooth motion flung the manrikigasuri straight at his opponent, who just had one of Kaishi's kunai impale his chest. The manirikigasari was now headed straight toward Kaishi's opponent. It's two spinning weights formed a 3 foot circle as it knocked down some kunai and hari headed for Kaishi*

*As soon as Kaishi launched the weapon in his hand, a sharp pain spread throught his whole body, and blood began dripping from the tiny holes made by half a dozen hari. Thankfully the force of the gust spread out, also spreading out the debris and sending most of the dangerous debris to the far right side of the crates Kaishi was standing on. But this pain seemed like nothing compared to the death of his father. After being impaled by the hari, Kaihsi dashed back to the right and dissapeared behind the crate.*

The manirikigasuri that Kaishi threw at his opponent had two explosive tags wrapped around the weights on each end

OOC: ok...

*As the flying destruction made it's way towards his opponent, Makoto seen Kaishi go on the defensive to dodge the attack. All the while Makoto fumbled around with some things, keeping his eyes on his foe as Kaishi dropped his wakizashi and jumped behind the crate that he stood upon. The gust of wind began to destroy the crates one by one as Makoto raised up his kunai with exploding notes on each of them. Prepared to launch them at any sign of survival that Kaishi may show, Makoto raised them before him and bent his elbows, bringing his forearm towards his body. The kunai rested above each shoulder as chakra poured into his hands once more. Using the pills that he took earlier to his advantage, Makoto began to concentrate for the slightest thing in the arena, and all of a sudden Makoto's senses went wild as Kaishi side stepped from behind the crate that he stood on before with a new weapon and threw it at Makoto. As the weapon spun around knocking weapons down in a three foot radius, Makoto couldn't help to notice the multiple hari that was pertruding from Kaishi's body from the earlier attack that Makoto unleashed. Taking that into consideration, Makoto then began to target the center chain link of the spinning weapon that has slowed it's rotations because of the weapons that were hitting it, and tossed one of the kunai towards it in an effort to send right back at Kaishi, but not without exerting some chakra from his hand for a little added speed boost. Then Makoto sent the other kunai flying towards Kaishi's shoulder closest to the crate, exerting chakra again.*

Makoto: (He has hari impaled all over his body, his chakra is depleted, and I have explosive notes on the kunai that I threw at him which are speed towards him right now...the first two should slow his movement and the explosive notes should be a big bang...what wil you do???)

*As the first kunai caught hold of the center chain link causing the the weapon to reverse direction along with the first kunai and the second speeding towards Kaishi's shoulder, Makoto made a hand sign to signal the eplosions.*

Makoto: (Bye Bye Kaishi)

SFX: BOOM!!!

OOC: Great fight man...three cheers for us :thumb:

~*Tournament Battle Complete*~

Battle Summary:

Dream Catcher:

All right... lets get this thing started. First of all, kudos DC for trying something different from the norm, however it doesn't get you points. In fact, it seemed this battle went to hell in a hand basket because of your Genjutsu use. Obviously it was far from perfect, headache inducing as a matter of fact. Please work on this for a while before tying it again... not for my sake... but for the children's... Okay to kick it off, there were several fundamental problems. The first of which is that you told Irv that he was being put under a genjutsu. As we already went over, don't do this. It only leads to your opponent becoming desperate and causing the battle flow to be completely wreaked. Delivery is VERY important, so don't forget this. The second detail, was the fact that you did things that were NOT possible for your Genjutsu skills. In This Post (http://forum.narutochaos.com/showpost.php?p=482664&postcount=42), you use your Genjutsu to create an illusion of yourself. This is impossible with Sly Mind Technique alone. Sly Mind Technique only effects your target's perception of the environment. Which means you cannot change or create anything in the environment, only your target's perspective in it. No illusionary yous, no illusionary weapons, or making objects look like something else. Such techniques would require additional genjutsu. So, for this you got flagged for Jutsu Abuse.

Also, in that same post, "As the kunai touched Kaishi's opponent, Kaishi formed one seal and two powerful blasts engulfed his opponent. Blood splattered everywehre as the now thinning rain qucikly washed away the surrounding smoke, revealing Kaishi's opponent. Kaishi reached his right hand back and his left hand into his pocket. Unsheathing his wakizashi, he began to walk toward his opponent, now a bloody mess". Although you are allowed to Godmod your opponent to an extent... this went too far. Despite being able to hit him with a single blow, you still need to keep it a little open ended. This pretty much forced Irv to break the battle's flow in order to survive. Just remember, that even though you have limited godmodding capabilities, you still cannot end your opponent instantly. There is always an escape route or something, so you can do it up to a point, then cliff hanger it. If their escape is stupid and non believable, then they lose points. However, the way this was done, you lost points. Just keep this in mind.

Also, keep in mind that you have to maintain chakra control over your opponent to keep the genjutsu locked. Without training, it is difficult to do other tasks while keeping the precision control going. Especially in a very chaotic environment. What you did was a little iffy, throwing the Kunai with no flags or any trouble maintaining the jutsu. As I said, it was iffy. If you don't want to have this flag pop up again, do a good deal of training in this category. I'm not going to tell you how to train it, thats not my job. Just make sure to get the appropriate concentration and genjutsu hold training, otherwise it WILL come back to bite you in the butt later...

However, we have to give the benefit of the doubt. As there really aren't too many models that you can look to, seeing as you are the only person to really attempt genjutsu in the current SoS. However, consider this a warning, please don't use genjutsu like this again.

Young Irv

For you Irv, this fight held two glaring flaws that were very difficult to ignore. They also tie in to each other. Lets start off with the leading point, in This Post (http://forum.narutochaos.com/showpost.php?p=484419&postcount=43), you performed a very ridiculous escape from DC's Genjutsu. Although it is possible that you were able to "see through" his genjutsu, it would not have simply "broke" without some sort of provocation. You really didn't do anything to cause it to break, even your excuse that he was running out of chakra was pretty flat and absurd. It didn't even seem to do anything to your battle at all. In truth, this is a form of blatant godmoding, as you took control of DC's genjutsu out of his hands. Because of this, "ease" you went through of breaking his genjutsu, it led you to the second point, your survivability. You didn't give DC credit where it was due. The fact is, he DID hit you with those Kunai. His genjutsu warps your perception of the environment. Even if it was weakening, your perception would still be altered. Enough to effect your motor control and chakra manipulation. So, you pulled out a miracle counter, which really wasn't possible in your current state of mind. Even when you took damage, you really skirted the edge of believability. In that same post, you willingly take damage from the side effect of DC's explosive tags, but you also down play the damage to such a huge extent, "Minor Damage because of Body Armor". Its plausible... but a little on the weak side. It seemed as if you just kinda, "meh...whatever"'ed DC's actions and pushed them aside. Because it seemed you were saving yourself up for the endgame, such actions really call your survivability into question.

On a side note, it has come to our attention that both parties have asked of specific help with the battle. Upon review, it has been decided that if you are participating in a fight that has set judges, do NOT ask them specifically for help, aid or advice. You MAY ask such questions in the spam zone or to another person(s) you know will not be judging the fight. There is just too great a risk that something important could slip out in replies. Also, giving away strategies and tips can be seen as favoritism. As pvp judges, we have to be impartial to the outcome of the fight.

So this is a warning, not just to you two, but to everybody out there. From now on, do not talk to your assigned judges about tips, strategies or other such matters that could compromise impartiality in any way. Even if they do or do not aid you, you WILL be penalized. You have been warned.
