Round 1: Genin Bouts - Akihiro vs Aiya

Post by broodboy » Thu Jun 17, 2021 9:54 pm

It was mid-day with the sun just hitting the center of the sky. Several other fights between genin of different countries or even the same country had already taken place, but now it was time for Akihiro to fight. He pulled his hood farther down his head preventing the sun in his eyes. It's ironic that in the academy they promote teamwork, but to advance to being a Chunnin you have to fight someone one on one. What a joke. Maybe he was not interested in the battle because he was being forced or maybe it was because he didn't enjoy these types of things. However, he was a Henrin of Suna and he knew that any hint of non-participation would be looked on poorly. He tempered his resolve and began to walk towards a clearing in the center of the ring.

Akihiro had no special tricks to use as a surprise attack, no devices hidden or genjutsu to use. He had only tempered and worked on his taijutsu so he could, at the very least, hold his ground until a teammate arrived. Which in this situation didn't really work. We probably started on opposite ends of the ring. He stood there stoically with his hands primed at the ready waiting for his opponent to meet her here to clash. His crimson ringed eyes carefully studying the movement of the girl now fifteen meters away from him at the Western edge of the ring.

At this distance, it was hard to discern any specific detail from another but, as his opponent approached he would read him with extreme scrutiny. The way she held her hands, her running gate, and even the way his opponent breathed. Akihiro placed one hand in front of him and one slightly behind that with relaxed wrists. He spread his legs out and bent his knees slightly solidifying his position and inviting the combatant to approach.

Round 1: Genin Bouts - Akihiro vs Aiya

Post by TyDie » Thu Jun 17, 2021 10:43 pm

The young woman known as Aiya had been wandering the event location for a couple of days now, taking in the sights of Aroma country. It truly was a beautiful place to behold, yet her reason for being here was a bit less glamourous. She was fated to fight in this tournament, the first international Chuunin exams in over a century. It was an honor... and a little scary, truth be told. However, it seemed that fate smiled on both her and her opponent, as she found it a bit easier to stomach some friendly competition with an ally to the Leaf Village. With a smile and a small bow as her opponent walked towards the center of the ring, Aiya would call out to her opponent. "Good luck to you, Sunagakure shinobi! I look forward to seeing what you're capable of!" As Aiya spoke, her quarterstaff was held in her left hand, resting one end in the grass. In her right hand was nothing yet, but she was slowly reaching for her ninja pouch...

Then, in a flash of movement, the woman withdrew three shuriken, quickly licked the ends of them, and let all three loose at the boy in an instant before dashing behind them. The shuriken were fanned out slightly, so that one was aiming directly for her opponent, while the other two were aimed for a meter to his left and right to cover attempts at dodging her opening volley. Once within about 5 meters of the boy or so, she'd plant one end of her staff into the grass and heave herself up into the air, vaulting over the remaining distance between her and Akihiro with impressive speed. Her foot was aimed for the boy's chest, but in the event he dodged or redirected her attack, she'd be close enough for some real combat... Already, her skin was beginning to blacken, and the hairs on her arms were beginning to grow. The transformation was starting.

Round 1: Genin Bouts - Akihiro vs Aiya

Post by broodboy » Thu Jun 17, 2021 11:44 pm

It was odd, out of all the Konah genin that Akihiro met every single one of them was brazen, straightforward, and polite. For the most part. Her respect in addressing him did not go unnoticed. She was probably the type used to bouts and that was made apparent by her quick action at the begging of the fight. A fan of shuriken hurled towards him in a spread pattern. Quickly followed by a frontal assault perceived at her top speed. Perhaps she thought the Suna genin might dodge out of the way, but she did not know him well. With the flick of a wrist, the center shuriken deflected into the ground nearby. Akihiro cautious of the bladed edge of it but blades and weapons he knew all too well. Briefly, he noted the saliva on the back of his hand and thought it odd but, did not have much more time to think about it.

The woman launched herself gaining even more speed and was seated to directly hit the Suna-genin's chest. The ninja world was full of trickery. One main reason Akihiro did not like it and instead preferred his workshop, there were no lies or secrets there. His eyes slowly picked up on a transformation taking place and he did not like the vibe he got. The Suna genin pulled his left shoulder back and rotated his torso slightly taking part of the kick as a glancing blow. This was the first time that they met and he used this as a basis for her strength. She was vulnerable horizontally flying through the air.

Maybe I can beat her. He thought as he flourished his hands in a string of quick seals. His inner furnace was starting to come to temperature. A soft chakra emanated from his arms and legs and he made a downward strike with his right arm in a chopping motion, a trail of chakra quickly behind it.

"I've got you!"

Aiya watched as the boy effortlessly deflected her Shuriken, impressed he was able to do so without so much as a scratch. That meant no infection yet, but that would be okay. She'd catch him at some point. As her foot glanced past his chest and she landed on the other end, she was shocked to find that he was already launching into an assault against her. But as the boy's hand was coming down, and both of her hands were wrapped around her staff, It seemed she was about to take a direct hit to her shoulder... Yet, as the boy's chop made contact with her, he wouldn't find soft flesh and muscle... instead, his fist found hard chitinous armor. The woman's hair fell out in one massive clump, and all along her skull, six new eyes emerged and opened, gazing around the area. Her canine teeth elongated into large fangs, dripping with saliva, and her hairs elongated into thick, long hairs. She looked at the boy with a grin, her long fangs pressing gently against her chin as the four eyes on the front of her head zoned in on the Henrin.

"Think again."

The Chitin had been cracked by the two fold strike, but not broken; Aiya hadn't felt a thing. And a moment later, as if from nowhere, more blackened skin burst forth from her sides, taking the shape of additional arms covered in the same chitin. As these arms exploded out, Aiya rose up with the two arms on her right side formed into fists; It was a double uppercut, with one fist aimed for his solar plexus and the other aimed for his chin. This same rising motion would carry Aiya into a rotation, which would allow her to take a slight step back before thrusting her quarterstaff foward, at the ground between Akihiro's legs. The hope was that, if at least one of those fists connected, he'd be too stunned to react to her dirty trickery... The girl slid the staff back and forth to widen the boy's stance before lifting up harshly with her staff, with a strike aimed directly for the poor boy's groin.

Well... Hopefully there's no rules against low blows...

Post by broodboy » Fri Jun 18, 2021 4:34 am

Akihiro could feel the solidness of the black armor. The transformation was extremely surprising to him as multiple eyes stared at him with venomous intent. A quickly suppressed his astonishment at the inhuman metamorphosis as his eyes picked up every detail. He didn't need to see the arena, or the trees, or the birds, just a few moments of his opponent etched into his mind for later evaluation. The tricks continued to come as two arms were rising to meet his chin and the center of his chest.

Nothing so far his opponent did was ever as straightforward as the Suna genin. He knew weapons well and while he did not use one he had the knowledge of how they were used. The change in her hand position told him so much. He moved his arms to brace the hit to his solar plexus as he performed a backflip into the air raising his head to follow the upward motion, the edge of her extra appendage making slight contact with his chin. He continued to flip backward until he was five meters away from her blinking quickly to regain his baring having been knocked slightly off-kilter by the sudden shock to his jaw.

"That's two to one, I owe you a hit." He was used to taking a hit but they were starting to show signs more prominently. He would need to be more careful from now on. A direct hit from her and he wouldn't be able to continue. He took a deep breath and reflected on her new details. The vision that he assumed was all around her judging by the eye placement, extra appendages allowing multiple angles of attacks, and most likely the ability to form jutsu seals by themselves, and again more saliva dripping much like the bit he noticed from the shuriken. There was something about it that he would pay attention to. Not to mention the extremely hard obsidian armor covering her entire body that barely cracked from a direct hit. He could feel his hand throb from the impact.

"That won't work on me twice so I hope you have a new trick up your sleeve!" He regained his stance once more and readied himself for her assault again.

I just have to out last her chakra He thought as he tried to take in deep breaths. His nerves were starting to creep into his mind. One on one fights really were not his strong suit.

Post by TyDie » Fri Jun 18, 2021 7:49 am

Aiya was stunned that the boy was able to so efficiently roll with the force of her speedy blows. Clearly he was a strong contender from the Sand Village, or else he likely wouldn't be here... His flip and avoidance strategies were doing him well so far, he was no doubt figuring out her method of combat and biding time for her transformation to run it's course. After all, at this stage, she could only maintain the Spider Form for short bursts of time, but it also became available to her quite quickly as well, making for a quick "on/off" style of combat. She only had a few more moments within the form for now, and she would have to make good use of it to impress the judges... or get a knock out. Whichever came first. She took a step back as well, putting about 10 meters of distance total between them... About the same distance they started at when Akihiro was in the center of the ring.

Akihiro shouted out a friendly taunt, questioning if she had more tricks up her sleeve, and with a grin her two lowest hands reached behind her, grabbing for three arrows and her shortbow. Meanwhile, her middle left hand would hold her quarterstaff in place, while her top hands - her normal hands, would fly through a string of seals. "Haha, you know I do!" As her seals finished, Aiya charged one of the three arrowheads with chakra, before running her tongue along each of the arrowheads. Then, as she had done to start the fight, she'd let loose a volley of three attacks at once, covering her rushdown assault as she slid the bow back behind her and charged with her staff. As before, the three arrows were aimed in a spread pattern; One was aimed for Akihiro, while the other two were aimed for his left and right, a meter apart respectively. But this time, he'd find a simple deflection to be problematic... The arrow aimed for his chest was glowing vibrantly with chakra, and as it got within a meter of him, a single handseal would cause the arrowhead to explode with powerful concussive force, peppering a 5 meter area around it with rocky shrapnel covered in her saliva.

That would make a great cover for her rushdown assault, twirling her staff around with audible 'wooshing' as she approached, both to protect herself and obfuscate her angle of attack. Once close enough, she'd aim a horizontal strike for the boy's hip, looking to crack a major joint and incapacitate him without too much pain. But already, her hairs were beginning to recede, and her skin was lightening up again... in a few more moments she'd be back to normal, and not at nearly as much of an advantage. So she had to make this count.

Doton • Shrapnel Shot
D-Rank Ninjutsu
Aiya will perform a series of hand seals, funneling chakra within a projectile made of stone, such as her arrows or a weapon created by Doton. Then, after firing the projectile, a single hand seal after the fact will cause the projectile to explode. This will shower the area within 5 meters of the projectile with rocky shrapnel, propelled with strength equal to Aiya's [Control].

Bojutsu • Twirl
D-Rank Taijutsu Stance
A staple technique of any staff style, Aiya is capable of maintaining incredible momentum with her staff by twisting and twirling it in her hands. By rotating her hands, arms and body in various ways, Aiya can spin her staff around her body in large circles. Doing this works as a functional defense capable of slapping away blows and mundane projectiles of a lesser strength than her own. This also acts as a powerful offense, delivering sweeping strikes backed by the momentum of the spins.

Arrow's explosion is gonna be 8 strength, but the arrows are fired with full strength reduced by -2 for firing three arrows so 8 as well. The staff swing is full strength.

Round 1: Genin Bouts - Akihiro vs Aiya

Post by broodboy » Fri Jun 18, 2021 11:45 am

She was probably one of the more seasoned genin that he had ever fought. Her ease in battle and pressing her advantage was clear and her comfortability utilizing the multitude of appendages to her advantage. That had to be draining on her chakra let alone being able to understand everyone all at once. It must have taken her hundreds of hours of practice to use it to this extent. Her methodical way of attacking was unfortunately very orchestrated to the Henrin now. He watched carefully as she pulled out a bow and arrow, something he was familiar with in the smithery but rare un Suna with its lack of strong wood.

First she will use a ranged assault to distract me from her direct attack with her bo staff. However, I can't make light of the arrows from a bow especially with the strength she has behind her attacks. Taking her head on again would be foolish, the slight glow of chakra from the fast-approaching arrow allude to a secondary jutsu should I deflect it. No way am I letting her catch me off guard with that bo staff either

He moved to the right where one of the arrows covered his escape attempting to deflect. While it did not pierce him he could feel that rough edge scrape across the top of his hand as he flicked it away. A burning sensation seared into his hand from the pain of it. He had no time to think about the bo staffs whirling as the center arrow intended for him to face head-on exploded in a cloud of shrapnel that inevitably missed.

"I told you the same tactics would not work twice." His crimson ringed eyes stared her dead in the face as she swirled her staff. flurry of hand seals and his chakra cloak was back on as Akihiro studied the pattern of movement of her bo staff and made an attempt to enter her space. He would meet the edge of her staff with his right forearm reinforced by his trial of the novice, continuing its momentum placed there and getting in too close for it to be used as an effective tool. If successful he would move in to strike placing his right foot forward and attacking with his elbow.

He could feel the tole that his jutsu took on him. He had one more use of it at most if this did not go intended. She always seemed to have an answer and he was sure she would have one for this as well. but if he could land one more solid blow against her. He would be satisfied in losing to someone who clearly trained for these situations more than he did. There was so much to keep track of and remember in such a short amount of time. Mandibles, eyes, six arms, bo staffs, bows, what else could she possibly throw at him. Was he just that un-prepared or was it in his personality and resolve to just take hits and wait for allies to arrive.
jutsu usedShow

*Kūgāpou • Soft Paws
D-Ranked Taijutsu Maneuver
Soft Paws is a bare-handed deflection technique and is used against bladed weapons. At this level, the practitioner is able to read the angles of the attacks to place the flat of their hand against the flat of the blade and push it away without getting cut by the weapon. However, prolonged use of this technique will cause the practitioner to suffer bruises on their hands.

*Kūgāpou • Soft Elbow
D-Ranked Taijutsu Maneuver
Requirement: *Kūgāpou • Soft Paws
After using Soft Paws to slap a blade away, the practitioner will continue moving forwards while jutting out their elbow. The momentum from the target's original attack that was slapped away, coupled with the sudden defenselessness of the target after having their attack deflected, makes for a powerful counter-attack. The elbow can be aimed anywhere on the torso and above, but is usually aimed at the target's face.

Round 1: Genin Bouts - Akihiro vs Aiya

Post by TyDie » Fri Jun 18, 2021 12:24 pm

Aiya had to admit, the last thing she was expecting from this boy right now was to go on the offensive. If nothing else, she figured her form would scare her opponent into maintaining purely defensive techniques while it was active, she never expected he'd eat one of her strikes head on with his forearm to get inside her range. The elbow came in fast against her chest, just as her form was beginning to give way, and for the first time this fight he'd feel her flesh. The first impact hurt like hell, and the second one caused by the tracer sent her sliding back on her feet a couple meters as she winced in pain. But even through the pain, she smirked, as she could already feel her body working to repair any damage or pain... So she had caught him with one of her arrows then. She saw him deflect one this time, and he got away from the shrapnel of her main arrowhead, but she must have scratched him or something. He was poisoned.

That would prove advantageous. She took in a deep breath as her skin returned to normal, her chitin and extra arms faded away, and her extra eyes closed and disappeared into her skull once more as her black hair grew back. "Hehehe... I got you. I can smell it, my venom coursing through your body. It strengthens me." Not only would she know his location even if she wasn't looking at him directly, but the bruise that was already forming on her chest was fading away just as quickly as it had formed. By the end of the fight, it'd be completely gone, repaired by the chakra siphoned off of Akihiro by her venom. But of course, there was still the matter of finishing the fight, and she aimed to really hurt him now. Her staff began twirling again as she slowly walked towards him, the weapon 'wooshing' through the air as she built up speed... then she launched at him.

First came a powerful strike from the right, aiming for the right side of Akihiro's ribs, and Aiya would use the momentum of the swing to rotate her body before delivering another strike from the right side, aimed at the boy's right knee joint. she'd then transition to a strike from the left, aiming diagonally up towards the boy's stomach and hip area, carrying the same force and momentum from the previous strikes maintained by twirling her staff. Tossing in a feint here and there to keep the boy from encroaching on her guard again, she'd make sure to keep proper distance this time, and utilize the most advantageous part of her weapon of choice; it's range. Another strike would come Akihiro's way, a powerful crushing strike from the upper left side, aimed for the boy's shoulder or neck area. And finally, with a leap and a yell of fury, Aiya would aim one last strike vertically towards Akihiro's face, aiming to 'bonk' her opponent on the head.

There were few openings in this onslaught of strikes to take advantage of, the speed and strength with which they were delivered combined with the range of her weapon would make it difficult to move in close as he had done before. She was sweating and breathing heavily now, that much was for sure; the boy's defense was slowly wearing down her energy. But she had only performed a single Ninjutsu so far this fight; her chakra reserves were fine, and the laborous use of her Bojutsu was little more than an extensive workout. If anything, this kind of exertion was rather fun for the young girl; she hadn't gotten many chances to really fight before, outside of basic sparring with Konoha shinobi. It was different for her, to be pit against an opponent with no prior knowledge of who they were or how they fought... exhilarating, truthfully. She was grinning like a fiend the whole time, excited to see what kinds of tricks or techniques Akihiro had planned for avoiding the full force of her assault.
Jutsu UsedShow
Bojutsu • Twirl
D-Rank Taijutsu Stance
A staple technique of any staff style, Aiya is capable of maintaining incredible momentum with her staff by twisting and twirling it in her hands. By rotating her hands, arms and body in various ways, Aiya can spin her staff around her body in large circles. Doing this works as a functional defense capable of slapping away blows and mundane projectiles of a lesser strength than her own. This also acts as a powerful offense, delivering sweeping strikes backed by the momentum of the spins.

Bojutsu • Outrange
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
A staple of Bojutsu, Aiya is well trained in the effective range of her bo staff, and is capable of maintaining proper distance from her opponent to keep them within the range of her staff but outside of the range of their attacks. This training has taught her to backpedal and deliver feints and strikes to prevent rush attempts as well as to advance when necessary, all the while doing her best to stay within the sweet spot where he can strike without being struck.

Bojutsu • Crushing Assault
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: Bojutsu • Twirl
Aiya will twirl her staff with increasing speed as she approaches her opponent, leading into a strong sweeping strike aimed at the opponent's side. This strike will flow into another and then another as Aiya proceeds with a flurry of crushing blows, following her opponent around the battlefield as he strikes at her opponent multiple times. She can produce a number of strikes equal to half her speed during this assault, which takes an entire post. Any opponent who blocks more than one strike of this flurry will suffer a -3 penalty to their Strength for 3 posts, as the force of the strikes jars their body.

Bojutsu . Spacial Awareness
C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
This technique is a kind of mental preparation for the constant movement and spinning involved in the Aiya's Bojutsu style. This enables Aiya to gather snippets of vision, sounds and tactile sensory information in order to be properly aware of the battlefield around her whether standing still or in rapid circular motion. Aiya is effectively aware of her surroundings within 25m of her person, able to recognize when attacks are coming and the body positions of opponents.

Round 1: Genin Bouts - Akihiro vs Aiya

Post by broodboy » Fri Jun 18, 2021 9:46 pm

He felt the solid connection made by his elbow squarely against her chest as he followed through pushing. The trail of chakra mimicking his movements creating a second impact that sent the Konah ninja flying back. That was just pure strength from the boy, no weapons nor fancy tricks. Although one could argue that the chakra cloak he wore for the additional hit counted as trickery, he did not see it that way. After all, it was clearly visible to his attacker. Dust kicked up into the arena from the hit as her feet dug into the ground and flew backwards. Akihiro regained his stance and looked directly on to watch the grotesque transformation recede. She would be far less dangerous than she was before.

A tinging ling sensation over took his right hand that he did not notice before. The pain from the arrow head distracted the subtle hint of inflammation. "So that is why you have been licking all your weapons. Here I thought there couldn't be anything else." Instantly he had flash backs to his personal lessons with Jinto Senpai wishing he had payed more attention to the poison extraction section. Regrets would have to wait. His body felt fatigued as he could feel his chakra drain for an unknown reason. Out of all the things she had up her sleeve, poison too. He lamented while squeezing his fist with a light tremble.

She began to swirl her bo staff once more the speed easily tracked as before. Akihiro's eyes were getting used to the timing, but unfortunately he lacked anyway to close this gap between them. "You're not the only one with multiple arms you know." He tucked his elbow in tightly against his side blocking the hit directed at his rib as it made contact with his chakra cloaked arm. Despite the added protection from the chakra the sting of the bo staff could be felt deep in his core. As Aiya moved and twirled with the momentum of her attack so too did Akihiro. sticking close to the other side of her bo staff the attempted attack onto his leg was seen through. However, he was not fast enough to twirl again and match her speed. He ducked down and tucked his left elbow into himself again to shield most of the damage. Again, he felt the strike through his entire body as bruises started to develop in both places already. Luckily him ducking made the strike aimed for his head miss, but that was not intentional. The woman leapt in the air with extreme force her bo staff over head. Maybe if he had more jutsu or some armor or even trained a bit more in Kugapou he could take advantage of the openings that he saw in her flurry, but he couldn't.

He moved both hands over his head to brace the in coming attack that would break a normal defense. He could feel his chakra cloak fading and this last attack would surely break it. He bit his lip in frustration with himself. How unfair is it to fight someone who is so combat orientated. Where are the support exams that let me show off. His frustration was palpable. The strike made contact with his defense as sharp pain traveled from his forearms down his spine and into his feet. The sound of the strike echoed in the arena as the onlookers fell silent. He angrily brushed the staff to the side and stood up looking directly into the eyes of his opponent and watching the only bit of damage he managed to inflict on her slowly heal itself as his strength sapped. He was breathing heavy, his bones ached and muscles were bruised.

"You win. I don't have any tricks like you and I can't take any more hits." His left hand began to glow a faint green as he waved it over the cut on the back of his right. The blood quickly stopping its dribble as it closed up. "I am not suited for this type of thing. Thank you for the great fight." Akihiro bowed signaling the end of the battle. He had much more to learn before he was ready to fight someone who was so well trained or had different priorities than he did.

Not sure if I could have found any other openings with the one taijutus maneuver I got haha.

Round 1: Genin Bouts - Akihiro vs Aiya

Asawari, Taeko had quite enjoyed the fight up to this point. He had been impressed with the abilities of both shinobi, and particularly Akihiro's ability to make assessments and good decisions against an opponent who clearly outclassed him in many ways. He had a feeling Akihiro would predict the inevitable outcome of this match, so he was unsurprised when Akihiro announced his forfeiture. Smiling lightly, he nodded. "You've both done very well, Aiya advances!", he'd announce. The fight was over.
