Genin Exam Final Stage: Elimination fight

Haru stepped in and paused a moment as he took in the large arena like room. he took in the depth and width of the water and the height of the walls. Haru felt confident in his abilities and trusted himself not to hesitate but his lack of knowledge regarding his opponent troubled him slightly but he would win the fight or he would die trying.

He walked over towards a female instructor that was unfamiliar to him and handed over the headband he had received and like many others before him gave his name and waited to be called. It seemed that he had missed Tsubaki's fight which annoyed him a little as it wanted to gather as much data on the Hyuuga clan as possible. unfortunately Haru understood that their bloodline abilities would always give them an extraordinary advantage over him yet he was still determined to find a way to made it work in his favour. He watched  some of the students from other classes reactions to the fights, most of them looked a little nervous but held it together well but he noticed a couple flinched a little when one of the students screamed after taking a kunai to the stomach and one of the kids looked like she wanted to vomit.

The fight was called to an end as the injured examinee was carried away and medical nin began healing him. Haru waited with a hunter's patience and moved quickly to the opposite side of the ring of a tall brown haired girl. The girl seemed confident as she twirled a pair of kunai around the index finger of each hand and a slight smirk pulled at her lips as she looked Haru up and down like a predator. Somehow seeing her a s a predator helped him to focus and stimulate the innate fear that his clan used to channel adrenaline.

Haru closed his eyes and let his other senses filter through the noise of the waiting students to focus on his opponent. He opened his eyes in time to see her fling one of the kunai towards him as she  dashed in with the other kunai gripped tightly in a reverse grip. Haru ducked low and took a leap forward as he felt the weight drop from his sleeve. Time seemed to slow down for Haru, each movement of the muscles in her arms and legs seemed distinct and clear. His right arm flicked upwards and he felt the chain slide through his loose palm as the metal weight shot upwards towards the center of his opponents face.

The girls managed to dodge to the side narrowly avoiding the projectile, though the attack missed her momentum was stopped and she quickly threw three shuriken with her free hand. one of the shuriken appeared to strike him in the chest before the substitution technique dispelled and a cloud of smoke revealed a small log with a shuriken embedded into it. Haru whipped the chain back into a large overhead swing that cut through  the smoke and descend towards the girls leading leg. once again the girl narrowly dodged the weight and there was a loud sound like a thunderclap as it struck the stone leaving a small crater in the stone floor. the girls eyes widened and she leaped backwards to create some distance as a small bead of sweat formed on her forehead.

Haru pulled back the chain and began swinging it in a fast circle until it began to blur and emit a high pitched whine. Haru stood still as he waited, he had changed the pace of the fight as well as making her acutely conscious of the threat posed by the Mist Singer. the girl was starting to get uncomfortable with the wait and quickly darted forwards again, making quick hand signs and creating two clones that split attacked form three separate directions. Haru's sharp hearing could only detect one set of footfalls heavy enough to belong to the real girl he reacted sent a kunai hurtling through one of the clones before using the recoil to place his hand into his jacket as he sliced the weight through the second clone. He put a surprised look on his face as he turned to face his opponent just a few feet away, thrusting the kunai at his heart. Haru saw  the look of victory in her eyes and moved a few inches to the right taking the kunai deep into the flesh of his shoulder. He gritted his teeth against the pain and let out a low growl as his left hand  appeared from inside his coat holding the kama in a reverse grip. Haru dropped the chain and clinched against the back of her neck as he slashed upwards and eviscerated the girl from hip to shoulder with a deep cut. the girl's eyes widened with shock and disbelief before unleashing a scream that cut off abruptly as she went limp against his body. He removed the kama and switched to a regular grip before bringing it down upon her head.

As the blade was inches from making contact with her skull Haru felt a presence behind him before he was thrown backwards to the ground by one of the instructors. The impact winded him a little but he was more shocked by the fact that he didn't have time to react just as he had witnessed with Ren and Shi in the classroom earlier that morning. as he had watched several times before the instructor called out to the room. "The match has ended. I declare the winner,....Torikabuto Haru". A slight pause before speaking his family name made it clear that the instructor knew who he was but chose to spare him the shame, Haru wondered whether she would be so kind if he had lost. haru winced as he removed the kunai from his shoulder and placed it in his weapons pouch. Medical nin were already gathered around the girl and they rushed her out of the room. Haru politely refused any medical aid and reclaimed his kunai and stowed Mist Singer back in its sheath before reclaiming the head band that Ren had handed to him earlier form the instructor at the entrance.

He sat there for a while staring at it as if it were a dream and would suddenly crumble into dust before his eyes. Haru closed his eyes and placed the protector tightly against his forehead and tight it at the back. it felt heavy upon his head and it had little to do with its actually weight, Haru had taken the first step to personal redemption and clearing his name of a lingering stigma and he left the room riding on a slight high. the throbbing pain brought him back to reality and he head back to the classroom where he found the instructions for the medical jutsu still written on the board. haru gritted his teeth once more as he moved his hands to make the required seals. Boar ->Rat ->Snake. he focused the chakra in his hand and it glowed with a slightly green tint as he pressed it against his wounded shoulder. the chakra faded quickly and he repeated the seals and focused more on maintaining the chakra over his shoulder, trying to force it against and into his wound. After several more attempts he noticed that the blood had began clotting throughout the wound and the skin had nearly completely scabbed over. The wound wasn't entirely healed but Haru was pleased with his success. he made sure he wasn't smiling as he left and headed back to the examination room to watch the remainder of the matches. As he took a seat just in time to watch the beginning of the match between Hinoki and Azure.
