The battle has started and the Jounin of the group had engaged and started their fight. Renjiro was analysing the area and the other two participants which was still standing around waiting for something to trigger our fight. Still holding his snake handsign, he focused chakra into the seal and into the ground. Suddenly a single wooden pillar erupted from the ground and rushed at the other two ninja before stopping half a meter in front of them (had used 12 meters to construct the bridge) and then dug into the ground for 4 meters forming a bridge to walk across the water. Renjiro was still standing where he was before with his snake handsign.

As the single wooden pillar started to dig into the ground Renjiro focused on the rest of the chakra for the jutsu into the end of the wooden pillar which was just formed allowing him to create another three more wooden pillars which should be able to reach all three opponents at once. The three other wooden pillars shot from the end of bridge and rushed in three different directions one for each opponent. Each wooden pillar had a razor sharp tip which if touched or scraped would cause large damage. As the pillars would approach the ninja the would weave and spiral to avoid and attempt of destruction but would also continue to breakneck speed at them all. The jutsus dimensions are width = 1m height = 1m. The primary objective of this jutsu is to punch straight through you causing death or major blood loss.

^^ mokuton pillar tips (Only one per person and are a lot bigger than those) just using this to give you an idea of the shape.

(OOC: I'm terribly sorry for not posting at all, and I'm also sorry that I cant anymore. My mother seems to think Roleplaying has given me a bad influence...I'll try to RP at school whenever I can, but there isn't much time to do this. Lower my rank if you wish, but I'm still apologetic...Have a nice day...)

[OOC: Don't worry Amaya, it seems to be working out anyhoo. Hopefully you can convince your mother in the not-too-distant future. And Renji, good job - thanks for squeezing in a post, I know you're having to get on with a lot in real life. Wishing you all my best, truly.]

[OOC: Kinda confused about what to do now, as Commander hasn't got a post in this week. Never been in this situation before, so I'm going to make some assumptions based on the aforementioned description of what happens in this case - the character "is deemed to have not directly impacted on the battle". Hope that's okay. Flag up anything that's wrong (if there is a problem) and I'll correct it.]

The battlefield was separated. The Chuunin and Genin were busy fighting each other, a battle the Senju seemed to be taking control of. Elsewhere, leaving behind blasted earth and a few wisps of smoke, the two Jounin went toe-to-toe. Having minimised the damage from Saigo's explosive attack, despite its considerable area of effect, Kasumi was now in an ideal position to deal some damage of her down. And deal she did. Both her targeted strikes connected with crushing force, the high kick whipped around and caught one Saigo right in the temple. The backhand that followed spun directly into the other's jaw. Her two opponents were sent tumbling to the floor, just as she had intended. Yet more damage was still to come, as a huge wooden spike came speeding toward the backhanded Saigo, crashing into him while he was still reeling from Kasumi's strike. Sparing a quick glance over at Renjiro, the Jounin grinned before turning her attention back to her opponent, making a mental note to thank her charge later. Not only would the force have been particularly painful, but the difference between the real Saigo and his clone should have become evident. Unfortunately for the female Jounin, this plan did not come to fruition. Neither body dissipated as most clones would have done after such a strike, and neither showed an injury that marked them a replica. She'd expected that even had the clone survived, she might have dispersed water in the attack, or revealed metal underneath, marking the clone as a certain type. No such luck. ...Damnit. Kasumi muttered silently to herself, frustrated that her plan, while painful for Saigo, had not amounted to much at all. As such, it was time to re-assess her battle strategy.

What Kasumi now knew at least, was that the clone technique Saigo had been using was highly advanced. On balance, it was extremely likely that it was a bloodline jutsu, though the kunoichi was not about to rule out the possibility of it simply being a commonly-available technique she had yet to discover. Regardless, she needed to deal with both threats, and quickly. There was little else she needed to do to prepare for incoming attacks, at least for the time being. The Juunseidou no Jutsu was giving her the ability to avoid most threats and simultaneously attack with speed and precision. That in mind, the young woman decided that it was best to make the most of the speed and augment it with great strength. She knew time was not a luxury she could afford to waste. As her two opponents each landed in a heap not too far from her, though in different directions, the kunoichi flicked open another item pouch, removing a small purple pill, no larger than a pomegranate seed. She flicked it into her open mouth and swallowed. The surge of energy that followed was bracing, and Kasumi had to stand firm as it coursed through her. The Jouzai no Tora gave her a burst of unique chakra, that settled around the user's muscles, allowing them to draw upon strength-increasing techniques with greater ease. Turning to face one of the two forms of Saigo, the female Jounin darted forward and drew her fist back, just as he was getting to his feet once more. With her augmented speed, the woman was upon him almost instantly. At that very moment, she drew some of her chakra to her fist and concentrated it. When the fist made contact, Kasumi would release the chakra and the strike would explode into her target, sending him rocketing away hundreds upon hundreds of metres. The impact would surely shatter bones and severely bruise the body, more so if he hit anything as he soared backward from the strike.

The other Saigo was barely staggering to his feet and somewhat further from Kasumi, having been hit by both her backhand and the huge wooden pillar sent across by the young Senju Genin. Though she had her great speed to help her, there would be time enough for him to act if she tried a direct strike. Instead, the Jounin decided to utilize Oukashou once more, this time in a slightly different manner. She dashed forward just one step, to give the attack momentum and a greater angle. Skidding to a halt, she once more concentrated chakra to her fist, the Jouzai no Tora making this almost effortless. Punching the ground with a heavy strike, the chakra poured out of her fist at once and ripped up the earth around it, an effect that continued all the way to her standing opponent and beyond. The earth shattered into large shards, boulders and debris which all exploded in a straight line, though the effect was indeed many metres wide. "Gotcha." Kasumi quipped as she watched the scene unfold. It would reach the other Saigo even faster than Kasumi herself could have, and she hoped it would catch the second target. The woman hadn't even given herself time to look and see if her attack on the first Saigo had had the desired effect, but now she afforded herself a quick glance.

This battle had been fierce from the outset, neither combatant bothering to test their opponent with weaker, proving attacks. Instead, the two had set out to finish affairs quickly and as expected, had caused quite the ruckus. A grand explosion from Saigo and his clone had left its mark on the battlefield itself, and now Kasumi was utilizing a technique that tore up the ground. The environment's sure taking a beating. She thought absent-mindedly to herself. At such close quarters, this was what Kasumi had been anticipating when she put the teams together and assigned them this wargame. From what she'd managed to glean in passing looks, her partners were at very least holding their own against their blue team counterparts. The pressure to deliver was now on her though, as she'd put herself forward for this particular exercise, thinking it best. To prove to herself and to her peers - even the Kazekage - she had to come out the victor. Kasumi wasn't usually this competitive, but it was a personal burden that no one else on the red team bore. Part of her enjoyed the thrill of responsibility, of orchestrating two teams to complete difficult tasks. Another part of her wished that someone else could take the lead on future wargames, simply so she didn't have to be so... fervent in her desire to win. The kunoichi was more than aware of the power a situation could hold over an individual, but feeling this hungry for victory - it wasn't like her at all.

OOC Announcement: Unless people have any objections I intend to end this part of the war-games at the end of the week and move Suna back home. I feel the general inactivity by a significant proportion of PC's is beginning to impact her.

Mission points were up for grabs and will be awarded on a basis on involvement to date

If everyone is happy it will end Sunday and I will do a travel thread on everyone's behalf back to Suna (you will not need to post and can count as a free lift back home). Once there I suggest people train up in anticipation for the upcoming CE's and the possible special forces exams. If people would like to team for a mission as well that too can be arranged

P.S. You analysis of the situation was perfect Sophie, keep up the good work.

I am happy for any Kiri Nin who wants to come back to Suna but they need Adam's consent. I would warn any Kiri Nin against taking inappropriate actions/missions while there though as you will be IC under close observation by Suna's oversized and paranoid internal security services
