It was outstanding to have such glorious weather on the opening day of the third examinations. Swarms of people rushed through the entrances of the Chaos Arena of Kirigakure no Sato. Today was the beginning of what everybody was waiting for. The anticipation of this round of the examinations was the largest of all the trials the Genin were undergoing. Mainly because they would be watched under a fine microscope from more than just a proctor, an arena full of people were all here to see the final eight young shinobi battle it out to prove to the three Kages of importance; The Mizukage, The Raikage and The Kazekage. All who were here in Kirigakure to oversee this stage of the exams that would be done in a period of three days, the final eight would fight one against the other for a spot in the Semi Finals, which would consist of four shinobi on the second day, who would repeat this process to have two left for the Grand Finale on the third day. The day was perfect, the sun was not too bright, but provided plenty of shine and plenty of warmth for the prestigious and traditional event. Arashii dressed in his traditional Mizukage outfit as he approached the arena with Ahora, as well as two Jounin escorts. He approached his private booth which was located high up the Arena’s levels but close enough to get a perfect view of the battleground below. There were two matching boxes for both the Raikage and Kazekage and two other boxes that were larger yet slightly less luxurious for other important VIP’s such as the Daimyo’s and Lords of lesser nations as well as famous shinobi and noblemen of other lands. There were stands surrounding the entire Arena, mostly filled with residents of Kirigakure due to it being their home turf, but there was a large array of guests from various nations, including large portions of Sunagakure and Kumogakure residents. Arashii sat in his seat as he began looking over the schedule, only one more shinobi from Kirigakure, surely the boost the home crowd would give him would help him out, but it wasn’t looking good for the hosting village this year with only one competitor left.

The Mizukage looked down to the arena’s surface, happy with its end result in the very centre of the field, which was a twenty-five metre radius with ten metre high stone smooth stone walls surrounding the entire ground area. The terrain was mostly grass but there was a dirty patch right in the centre of the arena that was left there to see give the competitors a different terrain. They had really gone all out with this arena. On the eastern section of the arena sat a small yet deep pool of cleansed water that would be refilled in between each exam if it was used. The water source was approximately five metres wide and was right up against the wall, and was believed to be about ten metres deep. Limited trees were spread out around the arena, only a dozen in total all near arena’s walls, with one or two bushes next to them. The terrain was mostly flat and open but on the north-west section of the arena was a slight sloped area that was half a metre above the rest of the flooring and was about five metres wide, starting right from the wall.

All these different features gave opportunities for all types of shinobi the arena was set, it was time for Arashii to begin this exciting event. Arashii stood from his chair, Ahora remained sitting in the chair next to his as his two escorts stood at the entrance of his private box. Arashii channelled chakra into his voice allowing him to project it all the way through the arena. “The first round of the Third Examination begins now!” The audience began to cheer stridently as Arashii waiting for them to calm down before continuing. “The final match will begin now, the competitors will be Yamazaru, Seoul of Sunagakure-” The Sunagakure shinobi in the crowd clapped and cheered for the Genin of their hometown as Arashii announced the second competitor. And his opponent, Yamazaru, Kinu from Kumogakure” The Kumogakure shinobi mimicked the actions of the Sunagakure shinobi cheering for the Genin that represented their village. The Mizukage was intrigued, two clansmen from distant lands facing off, he sat back down in his seat excited for the match to begin, as the two competitors entered the field. Seoul from the north and Kinu from the south, approaching the middle until they were ten metres apart. The bell was rung as the vibrations of the sound hollowed throughout the entire area, the match had begun.

The time has finally come. Everyone came from across the nation to see their future genin in a tournament and they got it. The top genin from their respective village fighting for the pride of their villages. It was now the fourth match and the two genin were of the same clan but different lands. Seoul from the lands of Suna and Kinu from the lands of Kumo. The power of the Yamazaru clan would be put to the test as the two would display the powers of both the North and South. Yamazaru Seoul faces off against Yamazaru Kinu. The ultimate match up, the clan itself were rivals in this world. Both ninja of the same clan represented the difference of the nations.

The Mizukage stood to his feet as he became to his speech. He said, “The first round of the Third Examination begins now!” Seoul began to catch a little nerve flew seeing that he hadn't actually fought among so many people before. Waiting for the thousands of fans to calm down the Mizukage began to speak again. “The final match will begin now, the competitors will be Yamazaru, Seoul of Sunagakure and And his opponent, Yamazaru, Kinu from Kumogakure Seoul begin to think nervously. Well I an from Hidden Sand and he is from the Hidden Cloud. We're both from the same clan though how could this be? He must be an impostor, trying to take the name of my clan. Seoul had come to make himself believe Kinu was a fake. Though he ma be an impostor, I can't deny the possibility he may be the real thing. If that's the truth then I know a little about his abilities. Seoul would then only expect the worst but hope for the best.

The nervous Seoul begin to wipe the sweat from head forehead that glistened across his face. If Kinu is really an Yamazaru then it's possible that he is one of the best genin in the clan of Kumo. Seoul thought due to his clan having high prestige among the shinobi world. It's too late now. Seoul though out loud. There is no way I'm going to end my journey of being Kazekage here. Seoul began to look into the distance with a fierce new attitude. Seoul then said a little prayer to himself as he begin to make his way into the arena. I swear on the clan of the Yamazaru I will not lose the battle to a fake. Seoul finished up his prayers and strolled his way into the arena.

As Seoul walked into the arena and took a look around he notice all the different terrain that surrounded the area. The desert, the trees, the water, and rocks. This is how it would look if all of the villages were together eh? Seoul though to himself constantly until his opponents showed. Looking off aimlessly into the wind Seoul was thinking of strategies. [i]What are some possibilities for me to have the advantage here? Well, if he is a true Yamazru I know that we have the same keikai genkai. This meaning anything he can do i can do as well. Seoul was stomped as he couldn't think of a thing that would benefit him in any such way. Well I know one thing, if he doesn't have a weakness then neither do I. Seoul suddenly cracked a little giggle snapping him out of his thinking zone.

Let's get this started!!!! Seoul yelled at the top of his lungs as he awaited for his opponent.

~~~

Kinu sat quietly in one of the chairs inside the waiting room behind the great black door that separated him from the arena in which he must soon enter. Sitting crossed legged and with both hands folded he retained his sophisticated and business like persona in which he wanted to potray or this particular day. Despite the contrary of his calm nature he could no longer ward off the nervousness that have been festering inside of him for the last few days. Since the second exam the fear of not being strong enough to surpass this important trial weighed into him. He remembered walking home that day with his head hung low thinking that the things would soon become harder. But what breathed more light into him was the proud face of his father when he heard that Kinu excelled into the third part of the exam. Although seeing his father smile was not a rare occasion, that time it held a peculiar essence of light and hope that Kinu had yet shaken off. It made Kinu feel good knowing his dad would be behind him every step of the way, and for him that was the strongest motivation he could ever ask for. Kinu jaw flexed into something of a half smile, pleased with the warm memories of his family.

The fight would soon start and Kinu was ready for this mysterious encounter between him and another prestigious genin. Raising up from his seat he walked across the small boxed shape room towards the main door. His small pale fingers swept across his weapons identifying all of them with first touch. His blades, scrolls, and arsenal hooked firmly into their respective places on his attire, some in pouches while others in hidden compartments. A more symbolic aspect was the fact that he was wearing the same traditional clothing he wore when he first became genin. Although the size had to be adjusted somewhat, his red over sized shirt and baggy sweatpants had more memories packed within their linen then the Raikages autobiography. Whether he was winning this or not, this was the day where he will become a new man, a new Ninja. Closing his eyes and bowing his head, Kinu began to do what seemed to be a prayer behind the entrance door. After a few seconds the strong and potent voice of the Mizukage echoed throughout the room.

“The final match will begin now, the competitors will be Yamazaru, Seoul of Sunagakure and And his opponent, Yamazaru, Kinu from Kumogakure."

"Oh my... wow." Kinu gasped under his breath. His head shook briskly as he tried to void the thought of his opponent being from his clan, yet in another village. The situation had taken somewhat of a sinister loophole in some way. Kinu honored and cherished his clan wholeheartedly, and although he knew that there were members of his primate clan elsewhere, the idea of fighting another was both exciting and lackluster at the same time. The black door flung open right in front of Kinu, and once that happened he flushed all other thoughts out to the back of his mind. The powerful light of the sun blazed upon the doorway, and Kinu walked through that light without a second thought. Before he knew it he was outside into the stadium, making his way to the center while being engulfed in cheers. His steps were light but stern, his green crystal eyes fixated on the individual across from him. Finally entering the dirt patch in the center of the field, he studied the young boy across from him as he were a prospector. He figured the Yamazaru's good looks must be only dominant in Cloud village, shrug.

The boastful yell of Seoul Yamazaru was a clear invitation for Kinu to make the move, and thus he shall. Activating the Shukyou which was bestowed to him by his clan elders, the seal on his stomach began to glow with radiant blue bestial energy and erupt from his clothing. Seoul might be familiar with this transition with him being a Yamazaru, but then again maybe not. Kinu was going all the way this time, letting his primal side echo through every vein in his body. The power then emerged to his external physic, and the once gracious young boy was now a fierce human-monkey hybrid with the best of both worlds. Green thick hair covered most of his body, his pupils became smaller and his ears became pointed to a sharp angle. A lashing green tail then slithered out of his sweatpants. The speed and power this form bestowed to him was almost intoxicated, but being the gifted boy that he was Kinu could handle it. Instantly Kinu began to dart towards the trees on all fours towards the walls, looking over his shoulder to see if his opponent will follow him to their new zone. He was going to see who was the greater monkey between the two of them.

Seoul waited patiently in the middle of the battle grounds for his opponent to show. As Kinu walked into the battle arena a sudden shift of energy changed then arena from everyone applauding to everyone starring in awe. Seoul would then start looking into the eyes and stare his opponent down with his found courage. Believing to himself that even though his opponent had activated the clans seconds seal to gain the upper hand he was going to win this fight. His opponent look as if he was ready to finish this fight quickly as if Seoul was going to be as easy as the stepping stone in the second round of the exams. However, Seoul also couldn't help but think to himself maybe his opponent had a chance and his wasn't such a push over himself. Seoul then scanned his opponent up, down, left, to right. He noticed that he looked well prepared as his weapon pouch was attached to his thigh seemly full.

Reading to attack and defend Seoul would again scan the arena around him. He noticed a couple of trees along the edges of the arena. A shadow cast upon the collessum six o'clock letting him know that it was about to soon be night fall. Seoul believed that both of these could be used to his advantage and he would try to portray them in this battle. Suddenly his opponent started to grow green hair all across his body and his eyes and ears came into points. This not being the end of his transformation a sudden tail tail appeared from his ass. Seoul couldn't help but think to himself on why would someone of the Yazamaru clan stoop so low and make themselves such and ugly being. Seoul was confident he was going to take away this battle easily. He figured that if Kinu had to use so much power so early he had to be a weak opponent.

After scanning his opponent and coming to a Seoul decided to speak up. You know, we are of the same clan. Stage two of the Shukyou is an amazing power and all, but do you think it is enough to defeat someone who knows it's in and out? Seoul paused for a moment as he began to blabber on to his Kinu. This is the chunnin exam, and I see your every meaning to finish me quickly. However, I believe this is your triumph card. Why would you use the clans seal so early? Seoul then knew his opponent Kinu wasn't a fake after all. I thought you were an impostor at first but now I see you have unleashed the seal on your belly. However, I'm here you show you the only seal you have opened is the seal to your treacherous fate. Seoul giggled a little in the mockery of Kinu not able to take him seriously. Every genin here has the possibility to prove their worth of becoming a chunnin. Some of us will fail. I'm sure of that. Then they're others that will pass with flying colors. Today I vow not to be one of those who fail. Seoul smirk at Kinu vigorously taunting him. You look as if you think you're going to win and possibly ruin my chances of proceeding to the next round. Me, I'm here to prove you wrong. I will win this fight, and quite frankly their is nothing you can do about it. [Slight Pause] You may be one of the best from Kumo but this is my time to prove that I'm a worthy opponent of thee. Show me your strength and don't hold back. If you hold back. Seoul then starred at Kinu with a straight grin as he was getting serious, but deep in the back of his mind Seoul thought to himself. This guy has to be strong, but maybe I could out smart him. This match for sure will come down to brain power.

Alright, I guess I'll get a little more serious. Seoul then activate his clans first seal. His form was still that of a human yet his abilities has increased dramatically. Their is no transformation what-so-ever so noone would notice the activation. No reason for me to go level two. I believe I can take this guy. Not only that, the second form is just grotesque.Seoul though to himself as he whipped a kunai out of his side pouch. Bring it! Seoul yelled with an intense voice that will send fear into any person that knew the power of the Yamazaru.

Quote :: 1st Seal Release: This stage of the seal is active since being applied and allows the clansmen to gain the basic traits of a primate. The clansmen gains enhanced reflexes like a monkey able to move like a monkey with ease, they also gain an enhanced sense of smell and hearing stronger than any ninja hound.

Looking over his shoulder the peripheral vision of Kinu was able to identify every movement of Seoul in nigh perfect accuracy, even when moving. Darting towards the awkwardly places trees beside the arena walls he was glad that the gullible Seoul took the bait in which he planted, but that would surely come later. He was more surprised however that he didn't decide to chase after him, rather then stand there and continue his talk with his egotistical warrior quotes, so cliche. Making it over to the trees with sooner expectancy in which he anticipated, he leaped over a small couple of bushes and landed behind the tree away from the vision of Seoul. Although not nearly as stern as the trees in his home village, Kinu surely hoped that they would provide some decent protection for need be of a range attack. Pinning his back to the tree a smile accumulated on his face and a childish giggle tickled out of his throat. Activating a few hand signs he leaned over the tree and blown a frenzy of small fireballs from his mouth. The small balloon sized fireballs shot towards Seoul and a few yards of his focal point. Dodging the technique may be simple for an agile ninja, but given that the fireballs covered a considerable distance even around Seoul the odds of hims escaping without burns could be slim to none. Even if they miss Seoul, the grass around him will be ignited by the other dozen fireballs, creating a ring of fire in a matter of seconds. But not only that, but the tree in which Kinu stood behind also started to accidentally catch fire by his flames.

OCC: I can't believe I over-read the part about you hiding....silly me lol.

After a century long speech Seoul opened his snapped out of his egotistical zone noticing that his opponent had already taken off and was in hiding. Seoul was stand there in a stage of awe realizing that his opponent had gained the upper hand on him quickly due to the fact that he himself wasn't paying any attention during his speech. I wonder if this guy even heard what I said. Seoul though as he didn't have a clue what to do next.

In the middle of the arena Seoul was scanning about trying to cover himself from all angles in hope to avoid any sneak attack. Suddenly a sound from the trees in the distance as if someone made a scuffle possibly tripping over something. Idiot. Seoul though of Kinu as he figured he was hiding within the trees. I know he doesn't think hiding will work on a Yamazaru. Seoul then pulled out two kunai prepared to fight.

Standing in a defensive stance Seoul inched over toward the wooded area when suddenly two fire balls came rushing toward Seoul. He had to quickly make a decision and possibly dodge the incoming attack. With the kunai he had withdrawn Seoul threw them both directly into the incoming flames which disbursed them and continued forward into the direction of Kinu hiding within the trees. As well at the same time Seoul and himself jumped a backward left angle dodging what was left of the flames. He then found himself standing near a body of water close to the edge of the arena.

Seoul was now thinking attack, The enemy has given away his position. The trees started to slow simmer but eventually grew into larger flame. The enemy has to come out of the eventually. Unless he want to burn himself alive. Until then I guess I'll make this a long ranged fight. Coming up with a great plan Seoul decided to draw his opponent out with some of his own medicine. Assembling his handsign at such great speed the entertained audience could barley tell he did so. Seoul performed a special jutsu in which he created himself named "Fire Planes".

Seoul spit out five planes in which traveled at an above average pace into the flames where is opponent was hiding. Seoul knew that his planes would blend in with the flames of the tree so his hidden opponent wouldn't see them coming even if he tried. Controlled at his will Seoul would wait for the perfect opportunity before his strike with them. Tss, Try to sneak attack me, lets see, come get some buddy. Seoul knew from then on what his plan was going to be. Time fore me to take this match away.

Quote :: Name: Fire Planes
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu
Element:Fire
Description: Seoul focuses his fire chakra into his mouth, then concentrates on little planes. He then exhales releasing his chakra in the shape of Planes. He can send up to 5 at a time, and control them to do what Seoul wills. He can control the flames to follow the opponent, and hunt them. They are about the size of a fist, and explode on impact. The impact is about the same as an explosive tag. This also has a E-Ranked chakra drain if used in more than one post.

Kinu eyed his fireballs with grim expectancy for them to hit, and as he watched Seoul prepare to easily avoid them we was then confirmed. Peeking around the corner of the slowly igniting tree he caught sight of Seoul's bold tactic of throwing kunai's into his spherical flames. Kinu scoffed under his breath and then laughed his childish chuckles. What strange obtuse individual would think ninja tools could diminish chakra infused flames? It was a very naive thought and a tad bit soft headed in his opinion. But for whatever reason, as Seoul's kunai glided through the fireball for its split second duration, it simply dispersed it. Although it was a just a small rapture in his over plan, it was a incredibly confusing situation. "Hm?" was what Kinu managed to hum under his breath, peeking further around the tree. Typically, if a small object shot through condensed fire, it would simply slide through, whilst the fire reforms to its original chakra molded shape. But not only that, Mythical Phoenix Fire was a accustomed technique for concealing weapons and yet his weapons seemed to somehow slide through that trait. But whatever the case was, his eye-opening trick was accompanied by his displayed athleticism as he managed to avoid the other fireballs while flipping to a angle.

The kunai that dispersed the flames continued towards Kinu's direction with predictable movement speed. Kinu could hear the wind currents rippling around them, and easily caught one of the kunai's by its handle as it slid pass his face. Even if he couldn't manage to catch the weapon he still could have easily took coverage behind the tree. But the difficulty of the situation so far was not up to par with his expectations. The flames that he launched took on their desired effect and ignited the ground in front of Seoul. Their orange and red color danced in the space that was once occupied by the arena's grass. The heat from the ignited tree became more and more overwhelming for Kinu, and thus he had to distance himself a tad bit from the bark. But even through his uncomfortable transition his eyes were glued to Seoul who he peaked around the tree to see. Unfortunately the flames in which he created served a negative purpose of clouding whatever motion Seoul performed. But Kinu decided to use one of his cookie cutters to alter the fight once again.

Releasing the power of his seal, the surge of animosity once again consumed him and his hands started to tingle with morphism. Standing behind the tree for Seoul his transformation would sure to be unknown to him. Horns sprouted from his knuckles, and his fingers melded together creating the face of the stern creature in which he was evoking. Within a moments pass, the technique in which he developed while gaining the title of Konin was introduced to the field. Clanking the two heads together, the monstrous boxing gloves of pain was ready to do their job.

Kinu's atmosphere inside his little tree domain began to turn more and more devilish as the trees flames molded across its entire shape. Orange lighting shined through the leaves and bark and illuminated the other trees and bushes beside it. The rustling of the flames and leaves became more arithmetic as Kinu proceeded to execute his interesting plan. Near the baseline of the tree was a small untouched spot where the flames had yet to consume, perfect size for a fist. "Perfect." Kinu thought grinning his monkey smile. He could only imagine what he looked like with both his transformations active. His monkey body toppled by his buffalo head arms, he could only imagine he appeared to be somewhat of a chimera warrior of sort. Nonetheless, he set his plan in motion by punching the bass of the inflamed tree which easily broke it out of its roots. The tree snapped sideways by Kinu's devastating force, and Kinu reacted instantly by punching it once again, sending the massive burning tree rocketing over towards Soul. Only seconds have passed since Seoul landed near the water, and Kinu was secretive with his attack, until now.

The tree spun and twirled as if it were a child's baton being tossed through the park. It spun along the surface of the ground in clockwise sweeping motions. What made this technique more awe-dropping was that obvious fact that it was on fire, creating a humongous spinning disk of flame making its way to Seoul with both pulverizing and burning force. The 'Burning Tree Combo' which Kinu just named covered a noticeable majority of the arena as he utilized the trees great size to its advantage. The leaves in the head of the tree was purely engulfed in flame, which one could only think of as a revolving sun. The body of the tree was also engulfed in flames but not nearly as much as the crown. The flames of the tree produced smoke which quickly engulfed the field with a light layer of smog, although its toxicity was non lethal. Dodging this technique would indeed be a interesting sight to see. The distance that the tree covered wasn't long compared to its size, plus with Kinu's most powerful technique behind it, it would surely approach Seoul in a few seconds. If he managed to dodge this technique by jumping over, ('if' he was fast enough) the tree would nearly revolve right back and hit him while he came back down. Even if the tree lands, it would pack enough force to shatter its burning composition to something similar to that of a massive explosive tag. The embers of the bark would shoot with its cutting impact to anything in its relative area, scorching everything within its relative quarter of the arena. "A substitution or flicker would work either" Kinu thought while making his way around the arena. "Seeing as how everything around him would be equally destroyed." But Kinu felt as though he needed not to worry about Seoul performing more Jutsu. From his last image of him he appeared as though he blown something towards him that blended in with his fire. If that were true, that Seoul would be unable to perform any other techniques due to one of his already being active, sad. He also thought about the body of water close to Seoul, it could be a problem, but then again the tree would probably cover the water and trap him in it and thus drown him. Plus if that were to happen, he'll have something waiting for him once hes submerged.

Hmph, burned, shot, and pulverized. What a beautiful way to die.

Standing their focused, Seoul had just released a jutsu in which he though would surely capture this opponent guard as he wouldn't be able to see it coming. The flames of his Fire Planes jutsu was a perfect plan to land a sneak attack upon his opponent considering that the flames themselves would hide within the natural flames of the burning tree. Genius, no way he is getting out of this. Seoul thought he that he had this match in the bag.

The flames of the tree created a natural smog that would surely cloud the vision of both opponents. Not only will this vision be clouded but the difficulty of breathing was little to no air at all. This would cause a natural choking effect to both participants thus defeating them both within minutes. Seoul began to hold his breath for more control over himself as he didn't want his breathing to effect him as he sight was nearly gone.

I need a quick plan. Seoul thought as he was intelligent enough to formulate an idea. This may not be my best option but it's my first one. Seoul had his opponent all figured out. He then knew that his opponent wanted a fight with considerable distance. Distance must be his strength. Seoul had all of these thoughts rambling through his head in the matter of seconds and before he knew it a loud rumbling of something clearly heavy was headed his way.

Seoul quickly turned holding the monkey seal releasing Wukong and they both jumped into the water-bed that laid behind him with immense urgency. Due to the thick fog and the rolling tree his opponent Kinu wouldn't have seen Seoul summon Wukong. Clack, clack, BOOM! A loud bang as if some crashed into the wall above Seoul. This clank would surely do some damage above the land but below the waters of a few minor cracks would crevice the wall. Seoul total darkness Seoul swam up to see if he could escape what would be his grave if he didn't think of something quickly. To his notice the loud banging object felt as if it was a large boulder. All Seoul knew is that it was a heavy object much too heavy for him to lift without any foot support or activating the clans second seal. Doom, Seoul's end was nearing and all he could think is why and how. Why couldn't I defeat my opponent? How can I get myself out of this situation.?

Above the arena

Above in the arena the flames were still flickering in the grass without any urgency of dieing out. In-fact the flames would start to grow even larger due to the trees that ran along the stadium wall infecting all the viewers lungs like a soft poison slowly drifting their lives away. At this point Kinu was probably thinking of rules number two of the Chunnin Exams. BY NO MEANS SHOULD ANY OF THE PARTICIPANTS HARM THE AUDIENCE. However this rule was broken from the moment Kinu set flames into the arena. However the half past out audience was in complete silence to the fact the this match was over. No, only that it was over but the way it ended. They had no idea the children growing up these days were so violent and careless over others lives. Most were in disgust at Kinu as the began to boo him along with raged slurs that were too much to television.

Beneath the water once more.

How can I get myself out of this situation? This was the last thought of Seoul him as he then begin to to telepathically talk to Wukong. Find me a way Wukong. I need to get out. I Seoul Yamazaru one of your faithful students needs a way or this is the end. Wukong was heartfelt as he was just beginning to understand his new master and learning to love him he didn't want Seoul to die. The elderly Wukong was intrigued in how much this inevitable battle was so important to Seoul. Thus feeling his master was in need Wukong quickly made a vow to Seoul. Even if it means death I will get you from within liquefied fate. Seoul bowed his head to Wukong and released him with a few words of his own. [i]Just get me out of here, I will be fine. I'm trained for this. Their is something blocking my escape up top. Release me and make sure you have a certain plan before you have no choice other than being killed. Wukong then bowed to Seoul and begin to burrow his way toward the surface.

Moving his way beneath the surfaces of the ground Wukong thought deeply on what Seoul had said to him. Make sure you have a certain plan before you have no choice other than being killed. With this in mind Wukong would surely located and execute an escape before revealing himself to his opponent.

Soon enough Wukong had made it to the surface but only to sneak a peak at the surrounding area. Lucky him that one Kinu wasn't near his location. Two the vision was so blurred in smoke that vision was limited to that of 5meters at the most. Three he had risen his head out from within the ground in one of the dirt patched that hadn't been caught on fire. Four Wukong was 2meters away from the tree that covered the water trap that held Seoul within it. Wukong was as silent as a whisper from a fly as he came fully from with the ground only to climb on top of what was a tree blocking Seoul's only escape route. I found it Seoul. Now I will get you out. Surely Wukong could have been notice by anything or anyone at this point. the smoke was much to thick for the audience and Kinu wasn't close enough to notice what was going on.

Seoul stay near the top of the waters and waited on his release. Wukong then assembled a few handsign, and then use his lanky arms to softly place his hands on the ground before him. Come master near the front side of the waters reach for my hands. Wukong had made a quicksand trap in front of himself leaving no space between the sand and the log, However the concrete surroundings of the pond kept ground for the logs support. Wukong then merged his hands within the ground reaching deeply for Seoul and his feet were supported by two sturdy limbs that were surely not to break.

After hearing Wukong's accomplishment Seoul quickly swam to the top and dug with in the quicksand eventually grabbing hold to Wukong as he pulled Seoul through the rough sands.

Seoul's body was cover in sands in which looked like sludge and tar but he was alive. With not notice Seoul withdrew another kunai and an explosive tag and readied to engage into a close ranged battle. Before he was even able to move however Wukong gave Seoul a fair warning.[i]Child I am old. I can only bare so much with this frail body of mine. I'm afraid that I only have enough chakra to deliver you one more jutsu then I'll poof back into the Planet of the Apes.

Seoul could really careless about the words of Wukong. He was about tired of Kinu getting the best of him. It's time to get serious. Seoul was then took a defensive stance reading to kill his opponent. Wukong being the noble primate he was took stance in front of Seoul. Let's go master. Seoul then reached patted Wukong on his back. Forgive me buddy, I mean you no harm. Wukong only nodded as the both now side by side watching one another back prepped for Kinu's assault in the thick foggy smoke.

Jutsu Used:

Quote :: Name: Kuchiyose no Jutsu - Summoning Technique
Rank:C
Type: Ninjutsu
Element:N/A
Description: A powerful jutsu, Ninpo Kuchiyose allows a ninja to summon animals, objects and the dead to fight on their behalf. There are many ways in which the ninja can sign a contract with a summon but it is usually done with the ninja signing a blood contract with the animal species. This allows the user to summon different size and skilled animals to fight along side them, or on their behalf.

Summoning Jutsu Used:

Quote :: Name: Land Shark
Type: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Element: Doton (Earth)
Description: The user manipulates the earth around them, turning dirt to mud before diving in. The user can then swim through the earth using a special method of propulsion that uses a very small amount of chakra to propel the user through the mud. As the user moves they leave a trail of mud behind them where the earth was morphed. While near the surface this causes mud to bulge upward in a spray. Thus it is only possible to tell where the user is while they are close to the surface. This is often used for ambush style attacks. His swimming speed while underground is as fast as a person running, but can be accelerated to easily double that for short bursts. Like a great white, he can breach the surface with such force that he can hit a person and send both the target and himself air born.

Name: Quicksand Pit Trap
Type: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Element: Doton (Earth)
Description: Three hand seals preempt the creation of a ten foot diameter pit tap anywhere within two hundred feet of the user. The ground in the area that the trap is used can't have a steep slope or be rocky. Quicksand forms in the desired location, the surface becoming flat. The only visual cue of the trap is the all too flat look to the ground. When a person steps into the trap they plunge down into a ten foot deep pit of quicksand. The person caught starts with their arms and head above the surface of the quicksand, being engulfed up to the armpits. Over the course of five posts the caught person will be sucked down and towards the center of the pit. At the end of five posts (thirty seconds) the person will be in over their head in quicksand.

A typical person would need something anchored outside the trap to pull themselves out. Lowering ones arms under the quicksand (to get to a pouch, etc), will result in not being able to pull it back out of the quicksand. Since the average person falls in face first, they are often a few feet or more toward the center of the trap, not near the edge. This trap lasts for the duration of the topic it is used in.

The eye-pleasing devastation had occurred, the blazing tree of deadly inferno hit its mark and brought destruction on its impact. Flares of fire and wood shot through the arena like a cinematic light show. The walls who lay victim to the assault began to crack with the sheer force of the explosion, and fire began to slither through its extremities finding a outlet to exhale. Countless pieces of twigs hovered in the air and feathered back down to the ground leaving chips of char descending along with it. What remained of the tree was now a destroyed and blackened shell that lay dead amongst the grass. Its very life had decayed with the flames but its purpose had remained strong. The poetry of the situation started to sink in with Kinu and probably along with the crowd as well. How such a powerful and beautiful young tree had the potential of being the most horrific weapons that a person could face. Its relation to Kinu was somewhat outstanding, but the only difference was Kinu wasn't going to be the one dying today.

The crowd began to boo and slur with the passing smog that erupted from the arena and made its way to the sky. Although Kinu understood their inconvenience he figured that they were probably more upset at his devious actions. Looking up into the audience more closely after the first round of remarks he discovered that only the Suna civilians were doing such childish actions. He scanned the faces of the audience in the corner of his eye. The Kumo side, graceful as always, sat silent and sophisticated through the entire altercation and even the entire match for that matter. The hundreds of faces that shined with the spirit of Kinu's native village were unstained by shame or discouragement, but only focus and pride for their youth; Kinu. The Suna side however lived up to Kinu's expectancy of being weak by their sensitivity. Kinu was a Ninja, a warrior for the Village Hidden in Clouds. If they thought he was there to play games with their pet monkey, they were wrong. He had the honor of his village and kage on his back, he wasn't backing down to anyone.

The darkness of the arena began to thicken with the passing seconds. The once hazy sheen of smoke began to create a dome of darkness that filled the battleground. Kinu ran silently across the walls with swift speed and swan like grace. He moved through the pitching darkness as though it were day, his surety of where he was going was definite in his opinion. Finally making his way to the point overtop of the destroyed tree and squated down patiently and activated his hearing technique. This was extremely beneficial given that his ability to smell became neutralized with the smoke. Resting his feet upon the stern bark of the tree, he proceeded to close his eyes for better focus on his sonar. The tingling vibrations of a small and primal presence ringed through Kinu's eardrums and created vivid pictures in his mind. It seems as though his opponent had called upon a monkey summon to aid him in his futile escape, how cheap. The monkey anchored Seoul out of the soft dirt and both proceeded to compose themselves after having a brief exchange of words. Kinu tilted his head at the disbelief that Seoul was still standing after his powerful attack, maybe he was stronger then he'd anticipated. But nonetheless Kinu wasn't a quiter either, it seems as though both these young men had talent.

It was time for the offensive once again for Kinu now that his dear cousin and his monkey pimp stood in their little 'ready stance'. Already Kinu was calculating the advantages he had and what method of attack would be best suitable or their environment. One of them was that the entire field was coated smoke that still partially erupted from the tree Kinu was still standing on. Although he had to hold his breath extensively to avoid wheezing he found that job a bit simpler to handle with covering his air passages with his shirt. But on the flip side he was masked in total darkness, or at least away from everyone's visible spectrum. He also knew the location of Seoul from premeditating his hearing enhancement technique from when Seoul he made his way out of the ground. This provided a one sided sight which is a major bonus for providing a unsuspecting attack. His third was the physical condition of Seoul and his summon. Kinu could hear the drips of and mud dripping off of Seouls clothing and even the fur of his summon. Unfortunately his little escape plan couldn't reconcile for the unwanted effects of being dowsed in both water and soil without treating yourself. Although Kinu's vision was far from clear, it was apparent that Seoul hadn't attempted to clear the mud from his body and more importantly his ears. Kinu shook his head at his dear cousin, it seems as though common sense was a another characteristic that Suna Yamazaru didn't possess. With that Seoul's hearing was far from sufficient, not providing Kinu unable to be both seen and heard from Seoul and his summon.

Kinu hopped down to the ground, and instantly with the his unmatched speed and agility charged at Seoul through the darkness. Enclosing their gap cursorily he prepared to execute Seoul right then and there. With both his fists pumping with power he moved straight towards Seoul along with his devilish speed. The now deaf and blind boy's fate was sealed in Kinu's opinion. With him only a few meters away and tasseling in the darkness he prepared to deliver him a finishing blow to his torso area, a place not so easy to dodge from. It would be nigh impossible for him to know Kinu was rearing in on him from the start, but even if he did know, he wouldn't react quick enough to dodge Kinu anyway. And then, only a yard away from Seoul, Kinu vanished with the puff of a flicker. Where he will appeared next was directly behind Seoul, a mere moment away from delivering a exploding punch.

Quote :: Name; Animal Sealing: Twin Buffalo Fists
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Description: This is a technique utilized by Kinu of the Yamazaru Clan. By releasing the seal that takes the form of a intercepting triangle on the clan members body, they can release the special abilities which were bestowed within the seal using the clans unique Animal Sealing method. This technique turns the user's fists into the heads of buffaloes. With this ability each strike with the users fist is amplified to a pulverizing degree. The skull of the buffalo heads are incredibly thick and the bonus of two horns sticking from the them. This makes them wrecking balls in combat and gives Kinu a advantage in close combat. They have been shown to create large craters 15mtrs in radius and 3mtrs in depth. This technique can easily break bone and decimate an individual depending on the momentum Kinu puts into his lunges. This ability lasts until canceled but at the cost of Kinu not being able to utilize hand-seals. If Kinu punches something that is incredibly dense (ie. steel or impenetrable barriers) his wrists is damaged in the process. If continuous punches of exerted on the dense object then Kinu will eventually break his wrist in a couple of strikes.

Name: Sound Intuition
Type: [Academy]
Rank: E
Description: This technique is used to detect the movements of another person if they are blocked from visible view. Focusing chakra to the users ears, he are able to slightly inhance their hearing and become more sensitive to vibrations. This will give them a faint second sight ability that allows them to see their target if invisible threw physical means.
Owner: Jasku Sage [Pemission]

Speed Buffs:

Quote :: Name: Body Flicker Technique
Type: [Academy]
Rank: D
Description:This jutsu is a high-speed movement technique, allowing a ninja to move short distances at an almost untraceable speed. To an observer, it appears as if the user has teleported. A puff of smoke is occasionally used to disguise the user's movements. It is accomplished by using chakra to temporarily boost the user's reflexes. The amount of chakra required depends on the overall distance between the user and their intended destination. Shisui Uchiha, one of the most talented Uchiha, was feared as "Shisui of the Body Flicker" (瞬身のシスイ, Shunshin no Shisui?) , likely referring to this technique

Speed
Despite Kinu's age he is very quick and lethal in his physial motions. His speed is unmatched to those of his level and he can be a blur to the untrained eye. Threw vigrous training and tactical teaching his movements have become fluent and sharp. He can accelerate his run speed at a shorter pace then most people and at a greater ease. This by no means makes him a 'speed demon' but he is light on his feet. 20% average speed increase of Kuni's rank.

Name: Experienced Genin
Type: Rank Trait
Description: A character with this trait are highly experienced by the standards of their rank. To reflect this they are consider 10% faster, stronger and tougher then the average Genin without this trait. This trait is automatically lost on attaining the rank of Chuunin

Name: Primate Seal Activation [Stage 2]
Type: KKG
Contract: Primates
Clan: Yamazaru
Description: When this stage of the seal is released the outside decorated layer of the seal lights up a blue colour, the same as chakra activation. The clansmen's primal traits strengthen and they soon look more like a primate. Their hair will grow long down to their back, thier pupils will become smaller, they grow long sharp fangs, nails grow longer to a claw-like length, they grow long sideburns and their hair thickens and grows in length on their forearm all they way down to the back of their hand and on the tops of their feet. The most startling monkey trait they gain is that of a tail, a long tail grows from their tailbone. In this partial primate transformation they gain an even sharper sense of smell and hearing. They gain greater speed and strength and a superior climbing ability. In this state their balance and agility is greater then that of a monkey, combined with all their other trait increases they become very difficult to deal with.

I know you posted that you stepped off the long but I had to say we were on the log....Adams call. This is also BTW a complete modded post and my first one made more sense but due to Adam's call I changed it up. The whole ending was completely changed

Seoul had just been pulled up from beneath the ground by his senior monkey Wukong only to be angered more by his cousin. Seoul this time decided to take a defensive position in hopes for fist finding Kinu's location in the smoke before Kinu fond him. A kunai and an explosive tag had been pulled from within his ninja pouch as an offensive. It was time for him to make his first true offensive maneuver. Standing ready Seoul waited patiently on his overly aggressive cousin to attack again without thinking his attack through.

The arena as Seoul was pulled from the ground had thicken even more with every passing second. The continuous smoke made things more difficult too see. Not only the vision was getting worse but breathing would be even more difficult. Seoul would communicate with Wukong once more to ensure his hopeful victory. Do you sense him? My hearing is impaired at the moment. Yes, he is just beyond the way abut ten meters. Wukong responded respectively to Seoul.

Seoul and Wukong were standing back to back with only 1 foot separating the two. Knowing the acknowledgment that Wukong felt the presents of Kinu, Seoul wasn't worried the least bit of an attack from any angle Kinu could possibly come from. Seoul would then place the kunai within his mouth and begin a jutsu that was simple and almost seemed as if he did nothing. Come get me cuzo. Seoul thought lowly of his cousins skeptics as they were an over aggressive a much common trait of those Kumo shinobi. This time Seoul was rather prepared compared to those attacks of before.

Kinu must have made his first movement because Wukong quickly notified Seoul of Kinu's vibration movement as soon as Kinu lifted so much as his toe. Here he comes. Protect yourself. Seoul would just smirk and and reply back. I'm way ahead of you. He's residing on the tree as well. Wukong knew this because of two reasons. The first was that he could tell the vibration difference of direct ground contact and the vibrations from connections of the wall and the log. {Kinu running across the wall for example} Secondly it was still a pile of quick sand just i front the trees so if Kinu was to step down he would surely be trapped or slowed down by the sand. Ready? Seoul would only give a slight chuckle.

Kinu was standing an exact five meters away from Wukong as Wukong was guarding Seoul's backside. Wukong taped Seoul in which made Seoul half turn to the right leaving him open defensively on his left and backside. With no time wasted Seoul assembled hansigns so quickly it seemed almost as if it was a blur. Now! Wukong notified Seoul within his mind. Seoul with his left hand withdrew the kunai from within his mouth with extreme haste, before he could even think straight Kinu dash toward Wukong and instantly appeared directly behind him attacking his what seemed to be a defenseless backside.

Gotcha! Seoul thought as Kinu came into direct contact. Only to what would be a total surprise to Kinu is that Seoul had performed his clan's " Animal Sealing: Strike of a Snake Jutsu". This jutsu granted them speed among most at their best for a single strike. So as Kinu came in with his striking jutsu, at the same time Seoul took a strike at Kinu with his wielded kunai. However, Seoul didn't try to stab Kinu instead he threw the Kunai dead center of his as he took on a devastating blow. The speed and accuracy of the kunai was was go great that with the speed Kinu closed in at it would be 99.9% impossible for him to dodge the kunai lunged at his sternum. A sure piercing had to be the ending result.

The blow given from Kinu was just as well Devastating to the young Seoul as he went crashing into Wukong's back and furthermore into the wall. After taking direct contact fro the fist Seoul was lucky that he didn't take direct contact into the wall as Wukong was there to provide a hard cushion in which Seoul would still take damage but not as great as the solid wall. With a dislocated shoulder, a broken jaw, and a few broken ribs on his left side, Seoul's eyes started to fade as he was dreaded wit pain that he could not suffer. Humf, at least I kept my promise and didn't lose to someone outside of the Yamazaru clan. Seoul then looked up into the sky for his final thoughts. My opponents has to be tired, two jutsu in a row that powerful. Their is no way he can go on. Seoul then rested there in sure pain and in need help of a medic attention. He really is a Yamazaru after-all.

The thrill of anticipation diminished form Kinu's eyes in a slowly as despair crept into his youthful soul. He thought he played his cards well, he planned everything out perfectly and followed them without remorse. He demonstrated his skillful athleticism on the field and unleashed the bestial strength of his second stage, yet.. it wasn't enough. From the second Kinu landed his devastating punch to the chest of his cousin Seoul, he unsuspectingly got stabbed with his kunai in a ultimate collateral damage. As the blade slid inside his sternum Kinu could nearly smell the pain surging through every extremity in his body. The cold blade sizzled around his bone while his flesh folded around it in a painful attempt to rend itself back together. In that moment Kinu replayed the scenario over and over again in micro second processes. He just moved so fast, he thought. It even took a moment in the midst of his shock to realize that his punch to Seoul managed to harm him as well, hopefully just as bad. He found it odd that he'd missed seeing his cousins frail body being flung to the wall along with his monkey.

Kinu's seal reverted back to his stomach in a slow leery transition, removing his monkey qualities and transforming him back to his human state. Silence swept across his mind which eradicated all emotions and feelings from his essence. It was the silence of near death. Through this silence Kinu peered out into his vision as if in a third party. He watched as his hands moved and came together, ignoring the gushing blood pouring into them. His fingers did something odd, they formed just one seal with their bloody tips. Kinu didn't remember what happened next, but he did remember the ground plummeted to his face in one large bang.

Kinu laid in a abyssal state for which felt like eternity. He couldn't move nor think clearly, but yet he still managed to hold on to what life he had left. He had faught a great battle, he utilized every advantage he had and struck with deadly and strategical force. Seoul was a great opponent he thought. Which indeed he was, Kinu had never met someone who managed to overcome so many obstacles and still have things up his sleeves. He never expected such a quick attack like that, nor honesty him burrowing himself from the ground with the help of his monkey summon. He was a true Yamazaru, and Kinu was proud of him.

But all aside, he hoped these damn medics would hurry up.
