The second day of the Chuunin Examinations came around quickly. The Mizukage settled back in his seat with Ahora by his side once more, the Raikage sitting in the box next to him and the Kazekage in the next. Curtains separated each of them but Arashii wanted nothing more but to leap over past the Raikage and rip the hat of the Kazekage off revealing his full face. Causing a scene here was not something Arashii was willing to do. The anticipation for the Semi Finals was even bigger than the Preliminaries. Arashii sat with his arms folded in his lap, he was extremely happy that Jinno, the last Genin represent of Kirigakure no Sato had pulverized his opponent and advanced, now facing another Sunagakure Genin, the last Sunagakure Genin. The Semi Finals would eliminate one of the two Genin which meant one of the villages had no more representatives, so the pressure would truly be on for those two. But you couldn’t look past Kyo and Kinu. Kyo almost effortlessly aced the Second Exam but in the Preliminaries seemed to struggle with his opponent at a constant stand still, he eventually got the better of the two Genin but he showed concern while he went up against his new opponent, fellow Kumogakure Genin, Kinu.

The four Genin were top of their generation it would appear, but Arashii still wasn’t sure if any of them truly were Chuunin material, hoping the Semi Finals would shed more light the Mizukage stood from his seat and projected his voice, like he had done yesterday. “The first match has come to a close and it now time for our second!” Arashii yelled as the crowd roared. Once they finally calmed down, he would introduce the second match. “Our first match participants will be Ryuzaki, Kyo from Kumogakure.” The Kumogakure ninja in the crowd went cheered for their Genin, but they knew who his opponent was. “And his opponent, also of Kumogakure; Yamazaru, Kinu.” The cheer for Kinu just as loud as Kyo’s, their home wished both the Genin best of luck. Arashii sat back in his seat as the Genin approached the centre, Kyo from the north and Kinu from the south, meeting only a few metres away; the stadium floor only had the damage caused from the last match, though any projectiles were cleaned up and sources like water were refilled, it was ready to host the second match. The bell was rung as the vibrations of the sound hollowed throughout the entire area, the match had begun.

The next day of the Chuunin exam has come quickly. Kyo was grateful enough to go into the second round of the Chuunin exams. The Chuunin exam’s first match was very interesting to him. The match took a bit longer then he expected. The opening of his opponent was hard since she was a close range fighter. He finally got her on a bomb after her last attack. He was re stocking his ninja gear with everything that he normally got and the extra ones that he had prepared for the first match as he was in the motel that Kiri has provided. He smiled as he was done as he was excited that the second round was coming in close. He exited after saying goodbye to his mentor. His mentor could not talk much because he was sleeping in. He shakes his head as he traveled for the Chios Arena for the second match. As he was traveling he remembered what happened yesterday. He remembered everything of this match and then stayed for the rest of the matches. Luckily his battle was not so damaging that it did not prevent him from leaving the arena. The sights of the rest of the round were fun and exciting as well. He noticed that most of the matches gave him aspects to study over. He in turn thought that the rest of the genin absorbed all they could out of his match. After his short flashback was over he was once again in the arena as they started to announce the next match.

As the match was called it was Kyo’s match versus a fellow Kumo shinobi. He left to go take his place in the arena as he thought that Kumo would get a spot in the last round. The only problem is the one who would go would be the victor of this match. It was a shinobi of his own village; he had to shake his head. It was an exam and it was possible that the match had to get people of the same village to after each other. He started to look at him and remembered parts of his match and analyzed what he had to do from the match. He walked up to him as he extended his fist to him and spoken. Let us show Kiri what Kumo shinobi can do, Alight? Once that happened he step back after his opponents results and waited for him to make the first move. It was time for the second match to begin.

The sun bled through the partially open blonds in the hospital room and lightened Kinu's linen blanket with golden radiance. As Kinu rested on his hospital bed he could only appreciate the fine hospitality the nurses of Kiriagkure had shown to him during his near death experience. He was highly astounded by their hospitality and catering to a foreigner such as him. But even through the welcoming energy of the medics and lavishly furnished room he still could not shake off the trauma of the day before. Adjusting the over sized pillow from under himself the faded memories of the day before recoiled began to drift back to him. Fire, explosion, and blood was all he could piece together from the altercation. Then suddenly the memory of a kunai lunging into his heart came smashing into his mind. He left hand quickly grasped his chest by the memory and his breath started to hasten under the memory. Hours later it was time for briefing and it was discovered that Kinu was in fact the declared winner of the match. He smiled dimly at the news and sluggishly walked back to is ER room to prepare for his next fight. Being fully healed from the last battle he was now both physically and mentally prepared to once again prove his strength in the arena. Gathering his now clean clothes from the brown cabinet, he gingerly put them on and hosted his weapons in their respective pouches. He then left the hospital and proceeded to make his way towards the stadium.

~~~

The match had been announced by the mysterious Mizukage and the door to the arena opened soon after. Soothing winds tasseled about the field and the grass around Kinu swayed along with it. The emerald eyes of the monkey ninja were constantly scanning the field for any discrepancies from his last much. Not much had changed since yesterday besides the fires being doused and the blades being removed. Looking along the edge of the arena Kinu could see the withered remains of his tree sitting awkwardly in a pile of dust. He smiled at the remembrance of him igniting that tree and hurling it at his cousin in his last match. As he walked towards the center of the arena to meet Kyo face to face he studied the faces of the crowd one last time. Such an array of people sat amongst the stands but all of which had glimmer in their eye for the bloody entertainment in which they paid for. Many faces in the Kumogakure side however remained blank with expression. Unlike the other matches they were incapable of picking sides for this fight seeing as how both Kyo and himself derive from Kumo. Although their cheers didn't compare with the other stands, the glow in their eyes to see their two brethren fight to the fullest out shined the roars of the other villages. Finally making his way to the center of the arena Kinu stood parallel to that of his opponent. Kyo and himself were both from the same village and have encountered with each other one time a few months ago. It would be interesting to see how this match turns out between the two ninja and also see who truly holds the spark of the Lightning Country.

"Let us show Kiri what Kumo shinobi can do, Alight?" Kyo said while both of them exchanged a friendly nudge of the fists. Kinu took a step backwards and smiled with his boyish innocent charm. Standing in a casual stance with his hands folded behind his back Kinu paid notice to the particular stance Kyo displayed. He made no attempt to guard himself from Kinu even in the relatively short distance between them. Just two meters lingered between the two which was nothing but cakewalk for someone as fast as Kinu. He apparently waited for Kinu to make the first move which would be his downfall. In that very second Kinu vanished from sight, leaving only the tattered remains of dust specks in his place. Flickering directly behind Kyo, Kinu retrieved a kunai from his sleeve and lunged it at Kyo in very close proximity. Vanishing from sight instantly and appearing silently behind Kyo, one of his plans were already set in motion. Using his 'Ninja Thrust' taijutsu form Kinu planned to silently assassinate Kyo without him even knowing he's behind him. Even through this process Kinu's eyes remained glued to Kyo as his blade crept closer to his neck, for any movement he shall perform Kinu will equally match. Being a one-motion process Kinu was sure Kyo won't be able to formulate hand signs fast enough to escape before the blade pierces him.

Justu Used;

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.

Name: [Taijutsu Art: Ninja Thrust]
Type: Taijutsu
Rank: C
Description: This is a physical technique which simply is a very quiet method of knocking someone unconscious, usually from behind. Additionally, because the user is very silent, it cannot be defended against. The Taijutsu user of this technique will instantly hit the opponents neck with powerful raw force, knocking them unconscious. This technique could be used in conjunction with area coverage, providing a illusive unsuspecting knockout.

As he walked to his opponents and said his words he waited for his opponent to show some sign of a response of what he has done. He was thinking about the last match that was with his opponent. It was a great match that seemed to go with strength then strategy. Although they did have strategy the two of them fought an crazy and great match. The surrounding of the Chuunin exam was a bit different then the other match that he has had. There were signs of use from the previous matches and even some of the trees have taken differences then the others. As he was thinking all of this the bump was made to his fist as the two of them had some distance now. It was true he waited until his opponent was to do something but he was not going to leave himself unguarded. He placed his thumb next to his middle finger then waited for a result to him going first. He knew what opinion was obvious, get away with limited time and find distance then go on for an attack. A full on strategy was not going to help him here. The strategy he has given takes time, time he does not have for no reason at all. The shinobi waited and then he was gone, poof in the air. Just as his first opponent did just like yesterday.

It was his turn in response in what he was going to do. He focused his chakra to his feet and ready to flicker as he senses his opponent behind him. He flickered himself to the left direction about five meters away from his opponent. When he repapered he was turned 90 degrees to the first facing him. As he did so he noticed a kunai fly towards the direction that he was just in. He then knew he did not have time to do what he wanted to do. He then snapped his hands as his hands and feet were engulfed in flames. This was the basis of his KKG he was a control of flames if you will. He then let the flames expel from his hands towards him There were four flames set off towards the direction of Kinu. They were the size of four fireballs just like the size within the mystical flower jutsu. He then started to snap his hands once more as the flames were heading to Kinu. His hands and legs were engulfed in flames once again looking towards him as he watched and see what his result was. He knew that the two of them would have to go head to head so he was trying to be prepared. As he would direct his attention towards Kyo fireball, Kyo himself started to take out two kunai and had one in each hand. One of the kunai, within his right hand, held the potassium bomb within it. The two of them would seem to go to hand to hand combat in this match.

It was just his luck, another shinobi with Taijutsu. He remembered that, in the last match, Kinu had used a great powerful jutsu within the last match that caught a huge Awe within the exam’s spectators. Kyo gritted his teeth as he was wondering what else to do, within his arsenal only one of his jutsu would go hand to hand with that jutsu. He just hoped he was able to prepare himself against it. Until then this match would be about speed and power. Speed is something that he thought he had, but he noticed Kinu’s training. His last flicker was used just right after Kinu appeared, usually he was much faster then that but it seems that Kinu might just be as fast, if not , faster then Kyo. Strength, well he was smart and strong in the head, he was not as strong as Kinu’s animal changes. The two of them had similarities and differences but it would be greatly tested out. He wondered if the two of them would impress the Kage’s up in the arena, but that was a silly though. The two of them had a lot to lose and a lot to gain within this match. This match would decide who would go to the finals. He had to make this match last, he knew it himself, from all the thinking doubt was now clouding his mind.

The grip of his blade tightened with the malicious intent of murder as Kinu prepared to behead his fellow comrade. Losing all remorse and sympathy for Kyo and his own conscious, Kinu transformed into the beastial killing machine he was taught to become. His green eyes were fixed on Kyo as the blade was about to penetrate his neck. The ghostly images of the soon to be rippled skin was almost physical in his cold and focused mind. But just before the clash between blood and metal was set, the slippery prey escaped from Kinu's grasp. Pugh! Kinu managed to grog from his clenched teeth. But preparation was one of Kinu's most profound traits in combat as shown when he instantly managed to pick up Kyo's direction as soon as his amateur flicker was utilized. Twirling the metal blade with his index finger in one simple revolution he lunged it towards the ground where it stood handle up near his feet. His innocent cherub face stood still as his jaded, piercing eyes peered at Kyo from their corner. Kyo managed to save himself from Kinu's secretive attack, which was quite a awesome feet from such short distance. But Kinu couldn't shake off on how Kyo managed to sense he was behind him to begin with? The technique he performed was done in complete silence and subtlety, yet he just managed to sense him from the clear blue. But none the less a mediocre withdraw such as that wouldn't tarnish his flow of he was beginning to have already. He was going to show Kyo what a soon to be Chuunin is really capable of.

Kinu watched as Kyo clasped his hands together and instantly ignited them in lively colored flames. Kinu regained his physical composure instantly and released the power of his second staged seal. The seals markings erupted from his stomach and enshrined his entire beings with the power of the primates. Instantly his nails grew into black crystalline talons, his hair became bushy green, and his face became tainted with the essence of monstrosity. With his obvious advanced muscle growth his feet managed ti rip through his sandals upon his transformation, which was in his ideal anyway. Kyo proceeded to release his fireballs at Kinu in a series of two from his inflamed fists. Formulating the monkey seal with his hands, Kinu darted at Kyo eyes glaring with power. While in motion he summoned Kanye who instantly appeared from the pearly smoke and ran directly in front of Kinu. Using their telepathic link, Kanye instantly picks up Kinu's tactic of dealing with the fire and closing the distance at the same time. Nodding his head with fine understanding, Kanye ignited his hands with blazing fire which matched that of the fireballs Kyo produced. Smashing his fists against the fireballs in wide exuberant arcs Kanye dispersed the flames by overpowering them with his own. Kinu running directly behind Kanye noticed Kyo's hands were still ignited, while also holding weapons. Picking up on his speed now that the fireballs were dispersed, both Kanye and him finally closed the distance between them and Kyo, both ready to strike.

Thinking as one talented unit, both Kanye and Kinu clashed into Kyo despite his oh-so intimidating weapons and flames that he manged to retrieve while Kinu was making his way towards him. Splitting themselves to each side of Kyo, Kanye and Kinu was going to hit him in inflexible and lethal locations in the body that he couldn't avoid with the two of them. Both striking at the same time, Kanye aimed high while Kinu aimed low. Kani flipped above Kyo and performed a series of blurred fiery punches which catered to his advanced boxing skill. Kyo would prove incapable of avoiding the flurry of punches, for if one of them were to hit, the destruction of his face was surely on the horizon. Being completely upside during the flip maneuver his body area was unreachable by Kyo. Kinu on the other hand took the low portion of Kyo's body. Using his monkey traits he balanced himself on his two hands to allow himself to perform two kicks at tone time. One kick aimed for Kyo's grown area while the other towards his exposed shin. If either one of them were to land Kyo would suffer either a broken shin or a one hit K.O, or possibly both. With a attack from high and below from two elite taijutsu forces his chances of escape where slim to none. His escape routes were closed, with either direction he turnned he would face an attack, along with the attack of the other. Judging by the quickness both monkeys performed their attacks, Kyo would only have a few moments to to react to both assaults. Kinu paid extremely close attention to Kyo's hands however for any strange activity Kyo may perform.

“Kyo, kyo what is wrong with you? Are you giving up, not after all you have been through? Big brother I need you.” The voice from the younger brother started to appear in his thoughts. The two of them wherein a time that Kyo just reached his teen years. The two of them did not have much of a home and had to fend off the streets. The two of them seem to be in a battle against some men. The two of them were filled with dirt as Blaize right arm was shot and could not be used. Kyo on the other hand was knocked out cold, or so he thought, until his brother had waked him up. He looked at Blaize as Blaize was giving him a speech on not giving up. “We have faced so many opponents, and now that the tables has turned against us and you feel like giving up? That’s not like you, maybe that is the thing. We had so many victories that you do not know what to do when your back is in the wall again. Is that it? Come on big brother, you must have a plan in your head on what to do. You can’t give up, we have to live. To live to find out what the worlds entitles for us, for our parents.”

The flashback had now been just a memory as Kyo was focused on the match once again. The doubt and emotion he had within him was something that needed to be cut. A shinobi must cut off all emotions in the field and this were he was in. This arena was a field that is typical in the everyday shinobi world. In this world there was no room for negativity and Kyo just played host to negativity. Well not no more, there is no needing for him to doubt himself if his dreams and goals are suppose to push him to positivity. It was points in the match were he had to make sure he used his assets instead of being upset of what he did not have. Or even be envious of what he did not have. He had much to show. He had his intellect, his strategic mind, his power to manipulate flames. All of this equals a shinobi that is Ryuzaki and he had bear that name. His name was Ryuzaki Kyo and the match was now just getting exciting for the two of them that represented Kumo.
Of course with this sudden burst of clarity things have started to move along the exam rather quickly. The opponent now was starting to change form. This form was seen in the last rounds, this animal state would grant him extreme power with bulk you cannot believe. The drawback should have been a loss of speed, but because of his training and abilities it would seem that none of the speed has been gone, given a look with a normal eye. Kyo started to prepare himself as he was focusing chakra within his feet as a spiral started to form. He watched as his flames were getting close to him and final his opponent made a response to that flame of his that was after following the transformation. As he was running he had a monkey hand seal within the waits as he started to rush towards him. Once again another attempt was made for a close range combat with Kyo. With the speed and power that he had this was going to be hard to get out of. The only way he has is one way, a way that plays in favor of his opponent then his.

As he rushed he was preparing for his next strike. It seemed that the only target of Kinu was Kyo himself and for that he was rushing in one general path. As that happened, he was going to go to the next phase of his plan. Just then a poof of white smoke appeared and disappeared just as quickly as a monkey appeared right next to Kinu and was already darting against him. Kyo watched as his flames were punched away as they were gone, well kind of. The flame went head to head with the flames of the monkey and the two were one. It was true that the flames of the monkey grew from his hands as they started to form a straight line. The one in the front was the monkey, the other was Kinu. He had to change his plan to match his and he knew one way to surprise him.

The Ryuzaki clan had one major aspect, flame manipulation. Now this may seem just like a clan with only one good thing about them. The whole point is that they use flames in ways that others may not even think of or have time for. One of these was absorbing into other flames. With his monkey punching the flames away was now luck. Not only did it help the monkey but it helped Kyo as well. The chakras within the flames were now inside of the monkey’s fire and now Kyo had control of those flames. As the two rushed for him he started to make his move and focuses his chakras from the monkeys hand and forced the two flames to the monkey to stop his momentum and force it back to kinu. Weather it would be enough to make him fall or not is, for now, not sure. The one thing he knew it would slow him down enough to interrupt Kinu and this was his second chance. With the result of the surprise attack he started to throw one of his kunai with the bomb in it and directed it at the pair. As soon as it got close enough he started to let off the bomb that was attach the ending of the kunai. The blast was a medium size blast of flames that should/would engulfed them in flames if they have not found a way around it. Speed was something that Kinu had, that was true but it only means that the opponent must be quick on his feet. This was something Kyo had excel in and with that he did not stop planning. The spiral that was set in motion was now already reaching the top of his body. The flames at the top produced a dragon’s head as the offence/defense jutsu was going to be used for Kinu’s close range abilities. On top of that with the waiting on the results to happen Kyo started to take out his sunglasses and place them on as he started to jump back to gain more distance from the two. Now in the general location of some of the trees provide in this arena. To his fortune this was part of the area that the trees did not feel the wrath of Kinu earlier.

Kyo Knew himself that he had no time to fool around in tricks of hiding. The only thing he had to do now was fight the way he normal did and try to make each one of them stick. Even if he was to evade the bomb his dragon spiral was ready to help kyo counter kinu and attack with an opining. The battle was heated, a heat that the fire cannot produce. This match was already starting to make the crowd go banaza.

ooc; for those curious, there was an issue with our posts and I'm currently waiting for Kyo's edits. Fight will presume accordingly once handled.

ooc: It has been three days and a edit by Kyo has yet to be made. Due to my courtesy for the spectators and the honor I take for the exams, I will continue my post from his last post that required major editing which was not performed. Due to the time limit there is a strong possibility that this will be my last post. So thank you Kyo for our short yet warped match (lol), thank you Lord Mizukage for aiding me in this posting quarrel, and thanks to the readers of course.

IC:

"Come on Kinu! For Kumo!" Chanted the overly felicitous crowd who ceased to remain in their chairs after the battle 'officially' began. Such odd customs villagers pertained within their traditions that a clash of the blades was the true beginning of Ninja entertainment. Throughout Kinu's short and training filled life it was true that he had never felt purpose or thrill unless it tied into some sort of combat or Ninja politics. It was the only life he knew, and the only life many villagers spectated from their safe homes. They could never really understand the pain, frustration and fear that came along with wearing a headband. They looked upon both the young boys faces in the arena like money sinks overflowing with their riches when one of them wins the exams. The popularity a village faces when one of their children wins the Chuunin Exam was more astounding then people like to presume. Money, fame, honor and all the glory of world marketing and media would be fixed on the village whose heirs overpowered that of the other villages. Kinu paid them no attention despite his eagerness to give his elders a fierce look of agitation. But his concentration had to be pulled elsewhere, somewhere where it actually matters at this second. His beloved comrade and now his prey; Kyo.

His grip on his rugged edge kunai tightened around its bandaged wrapped handle. He could feel the sweat pebbling in the creases of his grip and flexing to the creases of his palm as he squeezed tighter into the fabric. The kunai slide through the air with the momentum of Kinu's raw strength. It had only been a mere second interval between the blinking flicker he performed and his assassination technique. The 'Ninja Thrust' ability was one of Kinu's recently trained techniques which of course had yet to be perfected by the every busy Kinu. Despite this though he has proven himself sufficient in killing wild animals with this quite technique without much problem, so he suspected it wouldn't fail him now. Usually done with his hands however, making a small alter in the base technique to using a kunai would be a change thats new to him from this encounter. He wielded the blade equivalent to the movements of his fists, forming a chopping angle that would slice the back of Kyo's neck if unavoidable. As the Jutsu took its epitome stage of reaching the opponent however, failure dropped upon Kinu like a of wheats.

*Kyo Vanishes*. "Oh snap well... that's not good-" Kinu said while looking, trying not to show the worry that was prowling in his mind. Finally focusing his eyes upon a direction to the east, he could see Kyo standing in his presence just a few meters of Kinu. The young taijutsu talented boy was astounded that he managed to avoid such a quick and silent technique that has never been avoided with such success. His green eyes scanned traces on Kyo's neck just in case he did hit him and his head was about to roll off like he sees in the cinemas. However it didn't happen, and it appeared as though Kinu must enter the offensive once more to keep his opponent on his toes.

Reviving his warrior alter-ego from the embarrassing ashes of instant kill failures, he shifted his feathery wait off his legs and sprinted towards the flame ninja. The grass mushed between his sandals and the wind felt as though it wanted to give him a facial. Reaching Kyo with rather quick speeds Kyo paid notice to his hands erupting in flames. The shined and flickered with vivid and alluring spectral colors that flames were blessed to posses. "Whats he planning.." Kinu thought as his fingers formatted a seal in front of his stomach. If he was about to do what Kinu thought he was going to do, his prized summon may be put to some good use. As soon as the fireballs hurled out of the fists of Kyo they were instantly combated the the flames of the boxing monkey summon, Kanye. Entering the field from the pearly white smoke beside Kinu, Kanye came fist blazing and whacked the lame fireballs of Kyo with his own fiery fists. After exchanging a brief telepathic greeting between the two, both Kanye and Kinu formed a line and continued to make their way towards Kyo.

In mid motions something else happened that Kinu didn't anticipate nor did Kanye feel comfortable by. His flamed hands started to cause him problems which he didn't specify in their linkage, all Kanye managed to say was that it felt corrupted by foreign chakra. What? Kinu managed to reply back to the strange message of Kanye. Then in one fiery second the flames of Kanye left his hands and closed in on Kinu. Widening his emerald eyes revealing his brilliant colored iris's only fear could be seen in their depths. Using his natural reflexes however, Kinu managed to cartwheel to the left and avoid a fireball as it sailed past him. The flames of the fireball were still too close for combat, and the irritating burn from their flames was felt by Kinu in his right leg. It was highly a painful feeling but surely not enough to hold him down. "I'm alright Kanye, close in on him." Kinu commanded as both of them picked back up their stride. Kanye's hands were no longer ignited and like a smart ninja, Kinu made note not to use his Katon attacks during this match.

The next addition to Kyo's assaults started as he balantly released a explosive kunai at the pair. Both Kanye and Kinu split apart to avoid the explosion, spreading themselves further around Kyo's focal point while avoiding the blast. A ear shattering bang ripples through both monkey ninja's ears and a shock of sheer force blew the clothing to another side of their body. Not was the time Kinu thought. Kyo seemed successful to attack from his openness that Kinu has yet to see since the start of the battle. He had immense dexterity which Kinu respected, a true characteristic that truely defined a exceptional ninja. Deciding that a close range attack would be too risky even with his surety that Kyo was open, he didn't take chances of harming himself or his monkey friend. Taking out a explosive kunai from his pouch he hurled it at Kyo who was now immersed in the head of a fiery dragon. "Whoa!" Kinu said before the tag went off by the fire. A huge explosion ringed througout the arena and Kinu flung back from the power of the impact. Kanye was next to Kinu aiding him in getting back to his feet. Being blasted a few meters away, through the thin layer of smoke he could see Kyo standing amongst the trees.

Standing crookedly with the aid of his summon, Kinu picked up his fists and hoisted them in front of his face. He wasn't going down even if were to be burned alive by Kyo. He had the will to overcome this exam and the will to fight with the pride of his village, their village. He had the will of a Chuunin.

His mind was in the battle but not at all focused within them. He had chosen to give up the fight right after his last plan had been established. To the truth of the matter his arms were killing him. The last match must have taken his toll on him. When he flicked his wrist to give out the bomb to his enemies he felt a sharp pain within them. It must have been from the last match when his opponent kicked him off from the tree to the ground. He had taken a day to recover but even with his medical treatment the wounds did not seem to heal. The match itself was a match that would last for a short time or forever at this point. He looked at his opponent as his opponent was now directing his next move. What was this move? It was a kunai that was being aimed at him with something at its end. He did not want to test what it was he feared the worst, exploding tags.

Exploding tags were used in the last match as well and he knew that he had to focus every attack as a big one. He focused his hands and let the fire from his right hand and directed it at the kunai. Once the two hit each other the two made a blast that sent him flying back and hitting the back of the tree that was behind him just a few meters. It started to ache his back a bit after being blasted but he knew it wasn’t that serious enough. For that he continued on with his original plan. The plan to move forward and on with the exams.

His plan has worked, to an extent. He was able to keep the enemy at bay but how long was that going to last him. He had already used numerous amounts of chakra and jutsu. Even if he still had more to use, he knew he did not have enough to play all of his planning’s. This man, this enemy, this comrade in front of him excelled in Taijutsu. His old style of formulating plans and getting information was getting the best of him. If he was to continue he would just look for a perfect opportunity to attack while burning off his remaining chakra. Since his opponent excelled in Taijutsu, close range combat would just be suicide. He knew if he and his fellow comrade would go at it the whole stadium would go nuts but their physical abilities would be tested. Then with only one day left to rest, he knew that Kumo would have had a lesser chance to advance to the exams. He started to shake his head and raise his hands as he spoken out to the proctor.

“I know I may not be a Chuunin after this but know that I don’t want my village to lose its chance to be the winner of the Chuunin exams. If we keep going we will test our limits. Once we have, the next opponent will take advantage of us. We already know Kumo will make it to the finals. No need for us to work ourselves over it till one of us is completely knocked out. Take care of the last shinobi will you, or I won’t forgive you” Pause “I give up in the favor of my comrade Kinu of Kumo”
He waited as the crowed reacted to the impact of his words. He looked over at Kinu and started to toss him a scroll. If he or his monkey would have caught it, the words would read medical cabinet. It was a sign to help out kinu with his injuries. Kyo, of course had injuries but right now it seems to help out the finalist of the Chuunin exams was more important than to take care of his own. He was stable enough to help someone before he goes on to take care of himself. He just hoped his comrade was alright with his sign of gratitude.
