Jounin Exam Hikari vs. Kyousuke

Kyousuke could hear the crowds outside of the arena cheering. There was a fight today for the rank of jounin and he would be one of the gladiators. The large man decided against his queensguard armor for the day instead opting to wear a gold-plated suit of armor he found within the arena’s armory. (Same statistic’s as the QG armor it’s just a cosmetic change.) He counted out his weapons and other accessories as he heard his name announced over the loud speaker to head to the arena.

Picking up his bloody knuckles he would place them upon his hands and then take the golden purple plumed helmet into his left hand and walk to the entrance. He would nod to the announcer that he was ready and the man would call out his name and title. “Introducing a queen’s guard of the village hidden in the stars Kyousuke Snow!”


The ninja would run through the tunnel exploding through an inch-thick wall of concrete and flexing his muscles. The crowd would roar at the theatrics and look in awe at his strength. Some cheered his name while others booed and cursed it. Perhaps the other competitor would have more luck with this crowd around.

Waiting for his opponent the man would take a cigarette from his pocket and light it by banging his brass knuckles together. Inhaling each breath slowly as he waited for the name to be called. The name was one he was familiar with as he was the one who approved her genin examination. She seemed like a good kid at the time. Since then though it seemed she had been having problems with her clothes. Stopping fires in lingerie, entering bikini contests, the man couldn’t tell if that is simply how she dressed or if the times had hit her hard. Either way the man made sure the girl would have plenty of choices in clothing waiting for her in the arena’s changing room. Even if she did prefer to run around showing skin though who was he to judge, he was a very stern fan of not a wearing a shirt. If no one was around he might even go pant-less.


Whenever or however the girl’s name was introduced he would toss the cigarette to the ground and stomp it out lightly. “I hope you remember me, from before. I am going to work you out so good.” He would say before realizing that came out wrong. “You know but like your body.” Wrong again. “Just fight your best.” Hopefully Aki had received his letter that he would be using the eight gates in combat and she would be there in case his body began to fall apart otherwise he was in for a world of theoretical pain.

It was about 8 in the morning as Hikari was going through the books in the library. If one was to ask the chunin what she was doing up so early in the morning, the chestnut haired book worm would explain, (After explaining that she had been up for the last two hours doing research… and then asking the person who asked the question about what they were doing waking up so late.) that she had been a mission for to learn two techniques. Perhaps it would have been a better idea getting some last minute sleep for jounin exam she was supposed to do later in the day… or if she was up, do some last minute reading on jutsu that she could use in the battle that was to come, she never did finish getting her chakra infusion skill ready for the exam, or learning how to do the lightning element, let alone any jutsu that had something to do with it. If she didn’t do that, then she could be doing some last minute weapon prep to see what she could do to be ready for the exam, or at bitter least go talk to one of her old instructors, trying to figure out some sort of game plan on that matter. However, with the possibility of her being a jounin in the next few days…. It bothered the girl that she hadn’t learned any of the jutsu that the queen had asked her to learn, despite having about 2 months to attempt to learn them. This wasn’t because of lack of effort, no, Hikari had spent multiple hours each day trying to figure out about the two techniques. No.. it was just these jutu’s were so difficult to learn, she had just not been given the proper time in order to learn it.

The first technique, which she had spent the last weeks on, was a seal that would be able to seal a large amount of free chakra into a person. Hikari didn’t know what this, ‘large amount of Chakra’ could possibly be… another person? A powerful jutsu? A massive energy cloud just randomly flying around? Who knew…… however, after researching the jutsu for what had now become many weeks, Namikaze would decided to drop that jutsu and move on to the other jutsu the queen had requested of her…..


The curse mark sealing jutsu.


The Chestnut haired had seen the jutsu mentioned in a few books, however, the girl had no idea what the curse mark actually did, and no idea of how do preform the technique. Heck… if it wasn’t for the fact that the queen had asked her specifically to work on finding the technique, Hikari probably would of completely just written of this as another random rumor of a jutsu but since the queen had brought it up herself, the girl felt like she needed to be sure about it.(Believe it or not, the Kozai Yuuki archives had quite a few books that turned out to be a wild goose chase. There was something in here about something called limelight…..? A jutsu that was quite easy to use, but could destroy an entire village. That was a bust. Also, there was something about a powerful Dojutsu…. Called the rinnengan? It was said to be the most powerful jutsu of all…. But then the how to learn it part was completely blacked out, with a small note on the side of it, and scratched in on the side of it had a small note, it looked like it had been written in by a librarian. It read as fallowed.
‘This jutsu is nothing but a hoax, it isn’t real, and is fake. Please ignore and never look into it again. Also, if you saw something that you thought was this, you are mistaken and quite insane. No matter what kind of proof you have or how many of your friends saw it with you, you are insane, so you should probably not say that you saw it and pretend it never happened. With that, nothing to see here, keep moving right along.
Signed, your friendly neighborhood librarian, V. U.’

Also there was an entire section after that on something called Burger physics that followed that, but after a few minutes of reading, the Akari would close the book, there was a level of insanity that even she couldn’t follow in.)

It took the chestnut haired girl hours of looking through books, trying to find the slightest hint of what this jutsu was capable of… or how to preform it, when she found something on it…. Or at least someone did. However, after many hours of looking, one of the librarians kindly came up to the girl, holding a file with a shinobi’s record on it.

“Mrs. Namikaze?” The librarian would say. “I found a slight reference of the jutsu you were looking for in a certain shinobi’s record logs. We usually keep a record of all of our hoshi Shinobi… and we found one that has the curse seal jutsu referenced in it. If you wouldn’t mind taking a look at it.”

‘Shinobi file?’ The Jounin hopeful would wonder, “Thank you su much….” the teenager would say as she took the file and opening it, if someone possessed this seal…. The perhaps the girl would know the owner… and if she did… going to see the shinobi would make learning this seal quite a cinch. Even if the owner of the seal didn’t know much about it, having a refrence point would make this quite simple.

Unfortunately, Hikari’s high hopes would come crashing down to the ground when she saw the name on the seal…

Shiro Kaguya….

The dark skin teen that she had gone on a mission with a few weeks back, before she was even a Chunin, the bone user had led a team of herself and two other genin to find and protect a priest that was supporting shinobi, and safely evacuate him before he was to be assassinated by his own people…. Usually, It would be no problem for Hikari to go to the boy’s house and just ask him a few questions….

However, about a week or two after the mission, Shiro Kaguya had been asked to investigate some strange occurrences that had been happening in the nearby area. It didn’t seem like a big deal, so he had been sent out on his own, however….. the problem was that the boy never returned from that mission. Perhaps he found the cause and died fighting it. Perhaps he had solved the problem but decided to go Rouge after that, or maybe he was captured by the enemy.. being held hostage and the country would receive a ransom note soon. Either way…. The boy was out of Fuinjutsu user’s reach… so going up and asking him about the curse mark seemed out of the question.

Anyways though, the sixteen year old girl would look through the file, perhaps there was a hint to how to preform the technique in here.
Looking at the file, there were a few photos of the boy with seals all over him…. It gave Hikari an idea of what the jutsu did, it apparently boosted the users physical abilities…, taking a few notes of this, the girl would open continue to look and see if she could find anything else…. And at the very end… she did notice something, but something that she found quite scary….. the facial pattern what that of Shiro… but… he looked like he had become some sort of demon….. his skin had changed to a darker grey… his eyes were a golden color… no… not golden, more of a dirty yellow. This definitely pushed the human body further than she had seen someone go before. Seeing this, it gave Hikari an idea of what the curse seals did…. but what it didn’t do was give the girl any idea on how to physically create the seal.

Sighing, the chestnut haired girl would close the file and put it in her backpack… it wasn’t much of a start.. but it was the best lead Hikari had since she started doing the research.

Rolling her eyes out of boredom, the girl would lean back in her chair, and look over to the clock… wait… was it really that late already? Hikari had 30 minutes to get to the arena before she was late for her exam! The girl would quickly grab up all of her bags, her weapons, and everything, before heading out toward the arena.


……………………………………

The Arena:

The teenager had to rush to the arena as fast as she possibly could go, and even then only just barely had enough time to make it to the arena just seconds before she was called to enter the ring. She would head out to the arena, at the said distance away from Kyousuke…. And seeing the massive queens guard… the young chestnut haired girl would gulp. This was the man that she had done her genin exams with… the man that made poor friend from the academy, silver, run laps around the village. The girl wondered if he would do the same to the chunin now if she messed up the exam. Anyways… the former Maid now gone Shinobi was worried… but not as much about that… but more about the fact that the chestnut haired girl had been kind of avoiding Kyousuke for… what… a month now? Ever since Hikari had done that mission with the fire… where she had accidently left the house without any clothes on… she had been told to report to Kyousuke Snow for a mission debriefing…. But Hikari always found an excuse to get out of it. (Usually by taking up extra shifts at the Ninja academy.) Heck… at one point, the girl had come across a massive group of shinobi attempting to enter the village, and rather than going to Kyousuke like Hikari knew was protocol in this situation, Namikaze went to the queen herself and got her to give Hikari permission to let the group in. But surely “And making her way into the ring…” [/color] The announcer would say, “She is a Chunin from the village hidden in the stars… weighing in at fifty five Killograms, standing at one hundred and sixty eight centimeters…. She is a ninjutsu and fuinjutsu user…. And the winner of the second annual Hoshi bathing suit contest. It is…. HIKARI NAMIKAZE!!!!!!!!” [/b]

…….

‘WHAT THE HECK!”

Why…. Why…. Why?

There were so many problems with what the announcer said… it wasn’t even fair. First… she gave out Hikari’s Height and weight? WHY? You are never supposed to do that to a lady, even if she is about to go into a fight! Who did this announcer thing he was? Bruce Buffer?
And another thing….. She is a ninjutsu and Fuinjutsu user? WHY WOULD HE TELL PEOPLE THAT? It gave Hikari’s only real chance at this fight out… seeing that now Kyousuke would know for sure what was coming at him. Prehaps he had done some research before on Hikari and knew all of this… perhaps not. Either way, now it was for 100 percent sure now that the man knew about this. So surprise was out the window…. But still the young tea shop waitress still didn’t explain the biggest thing….

WHY DID HE MENTION THE BIKINI CONTEST!?

How did he even know about that? She had been under a fake name at the time…. And had hidden the fact she was a Shinobi, the only people that she thought knew a shinobi had won that event was her and Shiroi… the crazy jounin instructor that made Hikari strip in front of the entire world! So how did this man know? But more then that…. Now Kyousuke knew… and there was a possibility he knew about that mission from before… and this would trigger that memory if he did.


Hikari did not like where this exam was going on right now…

(The next part is presuming that Hikari’s actions didn’t change Kyousuke’s actions at all.)

Kyosuke was wearing… well… what appeared to be a royal golden plaited suit of armor.. what didn’t appear to be something a shinobi should wear, but perhaps something a knight in shining armor would wear. Hikari would adjust her own chunin jacket…. A little bit concerned that it was all that was protecting her… but now wasn’t the time for that. Now was the time for the young girl to do everything in her power to show what sort of techniques and jutsu that she had up her sleeve, and show that she was ready to be honored as the jounin in Hoshigakure.

Tossing his cigarette down into the sand, the man would stomp out the flames onto into the ground. Saying “I hope you remember me, from before. I am going to work you out so good.”
Hikari was about to say something about how she had remembered the Queens gaurd as the man who had given her genin exam about 2 or 3 months ago… but before she could…. He would continue on about working her out…..

Hikari would tilt her head a bit… not 100 percent sure what he meant, until he said something else.
”You know but like your body”

….

“Ehhhhhhhhhhh?” Hikari would groan out…. Did this man…. What did he mean by that?

“Just fight your best.”

Hikari have to take a second in order to get her mind back on track. Fight her best… got it… all you have to do… is take out the man who probably weighs twice as much as you do, if not more…. And who has like a literarily bazillion centimeters on you. No problem. You got this Hikari.


Taking a deep breath, Hikari would draw her faithful sword, the one winged angel, and get ready for combat, awaiting the announcer’s call to say that it was time to start the exam.

WC: 2518
(OOC Note: Sorry, Had to finish writing this late at night, and just wanted to post, I shouldn’t take that long for any other post now, even more so over the weekend. Also, if you want to just talk before the battle, that is cool with me, or we can go ahead and just start the exam, whatever you want.)

Well even if he couldn’t tell he had something weird, the girl could. Tilting her head was a sign that she had not quite understood what he had meant. The man’s attempt to rephrase what he had meant came off no better as he received a groan. The only thing she did understand about what he had said was the fight your best part. She didn’t use anything verbal to signal that she was ready, just drawing her sword was enough.

As the girl did so, the crowd would cheer preparing for some violence. Kyousuke would raise his hand and the cheering and whooping would cease. “I am ready.” He would yell out, before placing the purple plumed golden helmet upon his head. The announcer would then count down from ten for the match to start. “Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. Fight!” The announcer would yell as bells began to ring to signal the start of the battle.


Currently, Hikari and Kyousuke would be 75 meters apart the man would begin walking towards her with a speed of ten. At the same time he would activate his sage transformation, turning his skin grey, his sclera black, and his pupil golden. “Show me what it means to be a jounin to you!” He would yell while touching the sand rectangle around his neck, ready to activate the assimilate all creation technique if required.

(Sorry, thought I had added that thing you told me, to, but looking back I didn’t, so just going to do it now.)
Looking over at Kyousuke, who apparently hadn’t cared tat much about the bikini thing, Hikari would take a sigh of relief. Well…. at least the man didn’t seem to care… which made this not the worst thing in the world. Unless…… the man was only acting, and was actually planning to absolutely kill the girl as soon as the fight started! These thought put a shiver down Hikari’s spine, but then realized that was probably what the red headed Giant was planning to do to her anyways….

And then, she realized something…..

‘Red Headed Giant…..’

Thinking back to when she had gone to the library today, she had been given a piece of the puzzle when it came to finding out the curse mark jutsu Akihana had told Hikari about. Right after Hikari had closed the file of Shiroi Kaguya.
“Hey…. Mrs. Libraian?” The Chestnut haired girl called to the young woman, who would quickly come around the corner of a book case and put her hand up to her lips, making a ‘shhhhh’ sound, pointing out the fact that Hikari had made quite some noise as she had called out for the librarian. “Gah….” The girl would say, talking in a hushed voice now, realizing that she had raised her voice way to loud for the library. “Sorry….” The girl would apologize, but then continue. “But…. I think this file you found for me will be very helpful. Is there any other files with someone listed to have this ability?”

The Librarian would shake her head “Um…. No my lady…. At least… there is no one we have access to that has it listed in their profile. However… there are many active members of the shinobi base we do not have a copy of their file for, you have not been given access to active Jounin or higher rank files, and as such we can’t search through them.”

‘Drat.’ Hikari would think. ‘So… some one like Shiroi could have this seal for all I know, and I have no way of knowing! Dang…’

However, the Chunin would think more about it, and realize that it could be even worst then that. Just because someone’s file doesn’t say they have a curse mark, doesn’t mean that they don’t. Perhaps that person didn’t know themselves… or maybe that person didn’t want to let the village know that they were walking around with something called a curse mark.
However… just because it isn’t straight up listed… perhaps there was another key behind it.

“Ma’am…. May I ask you a question? On Shiro Kaguya’s file, it says that he has the curse mark that I am looking for on it… what would you think the reason he has it on his file would be?”

“Um….” The woman would think, probably not fully understanding the question. “Because he has the curse mark….?”

The Akari would shake her head. “No no no no no……. Not like that, think a little deeper, so he has the curse mark…. Ok, great. But how would that information get into his file?”
Looking at Hikari, the librarian would continue after taking a little time to think. “Because someone told whoever was writing the file about how he had the mark?”

The chestnut haired girl would nod.

“Yes… so Imagine what would happen if the person that had the curse mark had was trying to hide it, or that they somehow didn’t know about the curse mark being a thing, or by some natural phenomenon, the curse seal jutsu was somehow in someone from the beginning of their life and that person didn’t realize it… how would the jutsu appear on the file?”

“It probably wouldn’t” The woman explained. “Since the one who wrote the report didn’t know about it, then the file wouldn’t have any way to have it on there.”

Hikari would smile, and say “Exactly… so with that in mind, I think we should stop looking for the curse mark being mentioned in all these files and reports, and look at what we now know are the effects of the jutsu in said reports. Look for someone with Grey skin, dirty golden eyes, and maybe massive wings. If we can find this, then we probably have a lead on what how to use the jutsu. So don’t look for the jutsu being named, but those qualities instead.”
And with that, the two got back to work, reading over mission reports and dozens of new reports in order to find the technique that she had been searching for.

After some time, Hikari did find the hint she was looking for… surprisingly, in a newspaper article, dated a few months back. It was quite interesting, what it basically said was that there was a shinobi at the gates, who during an altercation started to show the features mentioned before, skin turning dark, eyes turning a dirty gold. Probably what they were looking for. The shinobi’s name wasn’t listed…. But it did give a description of the man, a huge man with Ginger hair.

The Chestnut haired girl would take note of this, and write this down. She would need to keep an eye out for this man…..

But at that point, Hikari would notice that she had her exam to go to so the girl had to rush out quickly to that.

And Hikari realized it seconds before it happened.

………………………………………………………………………………………………..

After Hikari confirmed she was ready, the Annoncer would start to count down.

” Ten….. Nine….. eight…. Seven…. Six….”

It was at this molment, Hikari would realize that Kyousuke had been the man she had read about. Activating her Golden eyes, The girl would start to use her chakra vision in order to look over the Giant Ginger man, seconds before it Kyousuke activated his sage transformation. Having allowing herself to see as Kyousuke started gathered the Nature energy around him and forcing it into his body,

“Five….. four…. Three…. Two….. one….. Fight!”

It was at this moment, that Kyousuke would fully activate his sage transformation (Not that Hikari understood what that meant.) And his skin would turn into a dark grey, his Scelra would be black. And his eyes would turn that dirty shade of Gold, just like the reports said.

Looking at the man’s body, he could see the nature chakra pouring into him, strengthening his core. It was at this moment, The Chestnut haired girl knew for sure that Kyousuke Snow was the shinobi she searched for. With all honesty, Hikari almost signaled the Ref that she wanted to give up already, and wanted to go over and ask Kyousuke more about his ability to gather Nature energy, but that was something she couldn’t do. On top of so many people arriving today to witness the battle being let down, even if the chunin had asked the behemoth of a man more about how he was doing his nature energy gathering, there was no guaranteeing that he would tell the girl. After all, Shinobi techniques are supposed to be kept a secret, and the Fuinjutsu user didn’t know whether or not Kyousuke would give out this kind of information just because Hikari asked nicely.

The Queens guard that stood 75 meters before her was the secret she needed in discovering this jutsu that was for sure, and, without even realizing it, this exam became much bigger than just an honorary tradition to prove if Hikari was strong enough to become a Jounin, on the contrary, it could very well be the difference of life and death itself when it came to the village itself. Since Hikari wasn’t going to stop the fight, she was going to have to watch how Kyousuke gathered Energy around her during the battle itself, and while fighting with the queens guard, Hikari was going to have to test the man’s abilities as they fought, taking mental notes on his chakra levels during the fight, and try to figure out more about how the man was able manipulte nature energy. If this worked, then the village would have a new weapon to be used to defend itself.

As Kyousuke called out to Hikari, saying ““Show me what it means to be a jounin to you!”
Hikari would respond back with a “Sir yes sir!” However… that was sort of a lie. With all honesty, Hikari had lost her intrest in becoming a jounin, and was completely focused on learning more about Kyousuke’s nature gathering ability.

The moment she was done saying that, Hikari would pull out a Smoke bomb from her bag (her hand Speed would be 135) and instantly throw it onto the ground in front of her (The speed and power of the throw would be 120,) causing an explosion of smoke and covering up her entire body and about 10 meters around her completely with a thick layer of smoke. At this point, Hikari would with a single hand make a clone symbol, and Create two exploding clones as close as her as physically possible, before suppressing her own chakra. Most likely, Kyousuke would just notice a giant form of Chakra from the two clones, and hopefully not notice Hikrai’s own Chakra going missing due to how close they were to her. The clones (Who would be summoned, and immediately turn off their Golden eyes,) Would then each come out of the smoke, running diagonally from the smoke, one going to the left and one gong to the right. And would both travel about 30 meters (Speed of 62). At this point the giant android, if he didn’t stop or speed up, would have moved about 10 meters (Hikari’s clones are moving 6 times faster than Kyousuke, and Hikari took a little bit of time to make the clones and throw the smoke bomb on the ground) being 65 meters away from Hikari and about 35 meters away from her clones the clones would both start to form handsigns at the same time, One clone forming the sign of confrontation, then the sign of the Tiger, the other forming the same sign of confrontation, followed by the following handsigns, Rat → Ox → Dog → Horse → Monkey → Boar → Tiger.
Both clones would stop the moment they finished their hand signs and take a deep breath, one would start rapidly firing flaming fireballs at Grey skinned man, the fireballs would come out at 2 meters in Diameter per fire ball, and come out at a power of 85, and a speed of 100. The other clone would shoot out a stream of fire, going out for 40 meters, at a power of 90, and a speed of 105, With luck, the flames would hit Kyousuke, heating up his skin to the point that he would take massive burns. Hikari didn’t know if it would be enough to end the fight, but if it did hit, then she would have a better idea what would happen to Sage enriched body parts that was exposed to extreme heat.

(Note: the Clones should be abut 30 Meters apart from each other.)

Also, since a lot of people are bothering me about it.

Mid Post claim,
Orochimaru’s Juinjutsu 3750/3750

There were quite a few odd stares coming from the girl as Kyousuke just stood there ready to battle. They began to make him feel a little odd. Is she seriously checking me out right before our fight? That is… That is… So, infuriating. “My eyes are up here lady. I’m not a piece of meat you can just look and gawk at, I am a human being.” The ginger would say with a bit of force behind his voice.

He would then do the actions as described earlier in touching his necklace and begin to move the ten meters. Apparently even though the girl was a bit of a perv she could still follow orders, yelling out sir yes sir. That was when she got ready and began to pull out some weapons. From what Kyousuke could see it was a smoke bomb, the girl tried to pull it out quickly likely to see if he wouldn’t catch the movement (RT 155) At this moment the ninja would take his hand off the necklace, but not before the girl would throw the ball and create an explosion of smoke.

Sensing a flare in the girl’s chakra, Kyousuke would be on high alert for anything coming out of the cloud of smoke at him. He was aware of the girl’s doujutsu and its enhancing abilities the queen was an Akari after all, so he was no stranger to the power of the golden eye. With the smoke just thrown, the ninja would pull a kunai from his side pouch flip it around in his hand and just continue moving towards the smoke this time at a faster pace.

Seeing two Hikari’s run out of the smoke, it was evident at that point that she had used a version of shadow clones. He could tell that it wasn’t a simple clone as this one had a chakra signature he could feel. Coupled with the chakra flare created within the smoke being way too high for a simple clone further indicated its corporeal nature.

“Clones huh, let’s see what they’ve got!” As each clone began to make handseals Kyousuke would turn toward the one on the right and yell. “Gate of Pain, open!” Kyousuke’s skin would go from grey to a reddish brown and his golden pupils would no longer be there. He would then charge full speed ahead to the clone he was moving towards (speed 130) There would be no attempts to stop or avoid the fireballs the man would just charge through the stream or balls of fire to reach his target.

As the fire was formed Kyousuke would throw the kunai in his hand at the clone that he was not running toward. With the fire in front of her eyes it would be hard to see the incoming kunai. (Speed is 170, health is 50, but to break it requires another 50, sharpness 82)


Once, or if Kyousuke reached the clone he was running toward he would use his fist and punch upward toward the girl’s midriff. This in a normal person would force the air out of their body and leave them gasping for breath briefly. (speed 185, power 160. Using Sucker Punch +30 Speed and strength, +25 speed from item, +60 speed and strength from 4^th gate and +20 DR 4^th gate.)

Keeping a close eye on Kyousuke.... she realized something strange was happening the moment he yelled out. As he bellowed the words, 'Gate of Pain, open!'

As soon as he did, his mussels expanded his body changed from the dark grey to a mixture of that and Red. What.... what was the man doing? It didn't appear like his chakra or natural energy was going up any more, but it did appear that the man was gaining mussels, as if he was put on some sort of weird steroids. What was wrong with this man?

As Hikari stated, it didn't look like he was gathering any more energy then before from the surrounding area.... What was going on?

The man charged at one of the clones... and to the young girl's shock the man didn't look like he was even going to try to doge the attack. The Chunin was about to scream out at the clone to stop the attack, but before she could, The ginger ran head long into the the great fireball that was heading toward him. Hikari would gasp, thinking she had killed the man, but out of the smoke of the first fire ball, the man bursted out, and ran into the next one, before doing the same. The Man took 5 fireballs that way, yet showed no sign of slowing down or being stopped. At one point, he would throw at a kunai and send it flying into the flame. Watching it, the young girl would see it go through the flames, aimed at (If I recall what Kyousuke told me OOC correctly) toward the leg of Chestnut haired girl's clone. The real Hikari, would send a message over her telepathy link to Dameon, and since the clone was on the link, she would receive the same message, saying 'Hey Dameon, please ignore anything I send over here for the next few minutes.... CLONE, KUNAI TO YOUR LEG WATCH OUT!' With that, the clone would move her leg just in time to dodge.

Meanwhile, back at the other clone who was shooting fireballs to Kyousuke, she wouldn't be able to tell that Kyousuke wasn't taking enough damage to stop him, and wouldn't notice until he was right up on her. She would attempt to make the sign of the ram by reflex to try to escape, but at that point, the goliath of a man was on her, and was already in motion with his sucker punch attack. The Punch would connect with the clones mid section, and would cause her to instantly disappear, leaving only Hikari who was in the smoke, and her clone who was at this point about 35 meters away from Kyousuke.

The remaing clone would think, her two strongest fire style jutsu were in effective.... so the girl was left without much of an option at this point. Perhaps a war of attrition then like what she tried at her chunin exam? Pulling out her Kunai, the clone would try to throw it at Kyousuke's Knee, hoping if she could hit, that it would at least slow the man down, so the real Hikari could gain more information on the nature energy coming in.


Pulling out a single Kunai and moving along the path she had been running before (Runnig in a line that went parallel to the wall of the arena, and away from the real Hikari) , trying to get some distance on the ginger giant, The clone would throw her Kunai at Kyousuke's Knee. (Speed of 115, Sharpness of 87 Also, the clone was running at a speed of 62)

At the same time, The real Hikari would sheath her sword and pull out a kunai, the smoke screen was still there, but wouldn't be for much longer, she had to get prepared for once it left and Hikari was going to have to start dodging The Queens Guards attacks.

AP:

WC: 745

TL DR:
The punch hit and destroyed the clone, while the other clone was able to dodge the kunai, and started to run away from the smoke, and threw a kunai toward kyousuke’s leg.

Real Hikari is still just watching.

745/5230

Well the poofing sound made the fact it was a clone obvious. As Kyousuke hit the clone in the guts he would laugh a little, the nature energy going to his head a little. Calm down, she is one of our friends. Lets see how much we can handle here though, lets try the laser beam in this fight at some point. Even give it some sort of flashy name besides the laser beam.

The Jugo would think all of this while beginning to move towards the second clone. At this point he would see the kunai drawn and thrown, before it crossed the gap however he would create a sword from his hand (Speed 130 for creation and 155 for swing) a meter in length and then cut the kunai in half, while moving his leg out of the way of the incoming shrapnel. (Sharpness 201 {130 from strength + 71 sharpness booster})

The girl would then hear what sounded like a jet engine, as a large cannon in the center of the ninja’s chest formed. Of, course the girl couldn’t see this cannon, but she would see nature energy gathering from where the sound was being made and it poured in quickly as the sword receded back into the ninja’s body.

As Kyousuke reached 20M’s away from the clone he would turn and just begin to circle the clone, hoping she would predict his path and attempt to hit him with a jutsu or even weapons. For this reason the jugo would draw another kunai and move with it. If, he needed to make seals he could and if he needed a tool for ranged attacking he would be ready to go.

The fifth gate is the gate of limit. Its location is in the abdomen. I should attempt to open it soon, right now this girl can follow my movements, as she dodged that kunai or got incredibly lucky. “The fifth gate, gate of limit. Open!” Surging chakra through his abdomen Kyousuke would not be able to open the gate, but he could feel that he was very close. Perhaps one more attempt later and he would succeed.


The pain was not yet affecting him, so that was good. Usually the gates only were a problem when they remained open for a long period of time. The higher the gate that was opened the shorter the amount of time, before he could feel pain. For instance, Kyousuke could hold the first gates for an hours, but the fourth hurt after twenty or so minutes. In time, his body would adjust to meet the demand hopefully.

The kunai flew from the girls hand and was on track to hit the deputy Kage's knee.... it was actually a little bit scary how close it was getting to the man's knee.... was it going to hit him?

However, at almost the last second possible.... the man used his sword in order to cut the Kunai in half. While the fact that the man had used a sword to didn't surpsie the  girl in the slightest, the fact THAT KYOUSUKE PULLED THE SWORD OUT OF HIS HAND did. At first, the girl with the golden eyes wondered how on God's green earth (or whatever Ninja's call the planet) the man was able to do that... however, Thinking back on it, it wasn't unlike the wings that sprouted from the boy's back. Perhaps part of this was the ability to make crazy extensions of ones body?

As quickly as the sword came out, the sword returned back into the Queen's guard's hand.... The chestnut haired girl knew she was going to have to pay attention to this for now on... if it wasn't obvious already, Hikari knew she was going to have to stay out of arms reach of the Ginger, her best chance seemed even more and more likely to be the war of attrition that she was talking about earlier.

However, then something completely out of the blue happened. A loud noise, one that shook the Chestnut haired girl entire form... no... the entire arena.


VRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM


A massive noise came from the man, at first, they young chunin couldn't tell what the noise was, but looking at it, she realized that the man was gathering nature energy.... like... ALOT of nature energy. Like... the man's chakra was reaching that of Bijuu levels. (Not that Hikari knew what those were) The man's entire body was steaming with it. The young girl didn't know how, but the man appeared to have more chakra in his body than he had even at the start of the fight!

Which lead Hikari to a serious problem... The man had the ability to recover Chakra increadbly fast... he had the ability to move alot faster then the young Chestnut haired girl, and on top of that, the Man was so much bigger than the young girl, so a melee battle was out of the question.
'Well, war of attrition is out, Deep end it is!'

These thoughts poured through the girl's mind as she moved a single hand in a clapping motion and activated her Wind Rejuvenation Jutsu, making her stats as followed

Health: 50
Stamina: 50
Chakra: 150
Speed: 185
Strength: 25

The girl knew that if she kept this observation tactic, that she was probably going to loose fairly quickly (Even more so since the smoke screen was almost gone at this point. She kept looking at the man's ability to gather up energy, she felt like she had learned everything she could by watching him, now, she had to basicly push him to see what other abilities the man had.

The molment the girl finished activating her booster, she would then with a single hand to form the single hand sign needed to use Body flicker to go to her left, the way that was toward her clone and her opponent. This was done not to catch up to them, but to get  a different angle at kyousuke rather then to gain or loose distance on him. She once the body flicker was finished, Hikari would get ready to preform her asault The clone at this point was 100 meters away from Hikari, and Kyousuke was about 20 meters to her left, and about 95 meters away form the real kunochi (Kyousuke didn't really give the distance to how far he was when he started circling, so I a just did some quick math and Vauged it, feel free to let me know if you feel this is unfair).

Hikari would place create a small disk of her chakra and place the Kunai on it, it was a new technique the girl had been working on called Manipulating Attack blades After placing the Kunai on the disk, she would then use Wind Release: Gale force palm A mere millisecond before blasting the kunai out of the disk toward the deputy kage. The Kunai would get caught on the wind as it went forward, increasing its speed and power, and would go at the Deputy Kage at  a speed of 300. ([185 + 150 / 2 =] 167 + 40 + 30 + [49 + 10 + 10 =] 69 = 306, going down to 300 becaue of max speed rule. Also, Sharpness at 102) Also, it should be noted that anyone who is trying to see this attack will be taking a - 3 to RT.

The momlment the Kunai started to blast off, Hikari would then start to rapidly form hand signs, creating the 5 Hand signs required (Ram → Rat → Bird → Boar → Tiger) all while sending a message to her clone to tell her to attempt to attack Kyousuke now, so that they could have a pincer attack, in order to preform the most powerful jutsu in her arsanel, the Shuriken Shadow clone jutsu. In order to create 1000 clones of the Kunai, all of which going at 300 speed straight at Kyousuke. They would travel 150 meters before stopping (Which Hikari was worried about might hit the civilians watching, which is why she body flickered in order to be in a position where she could throw the Kunai with out fear of causing any casualties.) At the same time, The Chestnut haired girl's clone would turn around, and use the same manipulating blades attack jutsu, in order to throw a Shuriken aimed at kyousuke's head. (Speed/power 182, Sharpness 67.)

Usualy, The girl would be scared to death to preform this attack on another living human being... however... she saw the way the man was able to pull out a sword from his hand and cut the Kunai that was coming at him, if the sword was made of his own skin, then his skin had to be strong enough that he could take the attack without his skin being penetrated... however, the Akari doubted that anyone could just walk off anything coming at someone so fast and with such force. It would probably be enough to give the a few broken bones, some bumps, maybe if the girl was lucky knock him out.

TL DR

Hikari activated her boost and body flickered out of the smoke in order to get into position to throw a kunai at Kyousuke without hitting anyone else, and throws at a speed of 300, and clone that shuriken 1000 times.

Also, clone Hikari threw a shuriken at you. speed power 182 and sharpness 62, if I did my math wrong (Which I think I did), feel free to say what you think the speed is in your post.

Clone: 362 - 3 = 359

(Sorry this took so long, I Actually wrote it 3 times, and it got deleted all three times. Will be more active in the future)

Sensing the chakra spike within the cloud of smoke, Kyousuke would notice some of the smoke pull in the direction the girl had gone when using body flicker. He could see the girl at this point and noticed how she created a disk of chakra and moved to place a kunai upon it.
 
Without a word, the ninja would turn on the girl (real Hik) as she prepared to throw a kunai and yell. “Hell’s Flash!” The cannon would erupt from the man’s chest at 140 power and speed. The beam would cover the ninja’s body as it was 5 meters when fired. The laser would travel until it hit something solid and exploded or travel its full distance of 70 meters before exploding, leaving a massive crater in its wake.
 
This is what Kyousuke had been looking forward to. If the girl managed to survive she would be a jounin in his eyes. Especially, if she did so without the body flicker.
 
As the smoke cleared if Hikari was alive, Kyousuke would raise his arm to silence the crowd that had grown excited by the explosions and all the other stuff. “Hikari Namikaze, I hereby grant you the rank of jounin and all the authority it commands.” Lowering his arm he would walk forward ending all of his transformations. Upon doing so, he would feel a pain shoot up his leg and he would stumble slightly and recover quickly. The crowd was likely too far away to notice it however.
 
“You have proved yourself capable, I wish you well in the future.” Kyousuke would say standing before the girl if she allowed and offer a hand to shake.

Hikari stood there like an idiot, looking at the bright flash of light, thinking 'OHHHHHHHH!!!! Look at all the pretty colors!' then, the strike would come in and completely envelop the young girl, once the smoke cleared, there was nothing left of the chunin.


As Kyousuke shot out the canon, The Chestnut haired girl would blast out her Kunai, all aimed at the Jugo, but even as the girl blasted them out, she knew that the blast.... Hell's Flash was it? Was more than powerful enough to break through the Kunai because of how much pure energy was being shot out of it. Looking at the explosion through the girl's Golden Eyes..... the amount of pure energy scared the girl..... Just.... wow......  Forget the Kunai, the girl herself would probably be completely destroyed by this attack if it hit. Prehaps it was time to activate the Fuinjutsu protection seal?

No.... if she had done that... she would probably survive the blast, but no, with the pure amount of Nature energy being shot at her, the blast would be enough to take her out of action. She had to dodge this.

As the blast was about 15 meters away from her the girl would quickly run along the same path she had body flickered from, heading toward where she had started the Body flicker from at a speed of 92. She would move about 7 meters by the time the laser got to where the girl was standing before, just barely getting out of range of the attack. As she did, the girl realized something looking back at the man. (Also, For the record, the Kunai Got destroyed by the blast, 140 Damage and 100 was what was required to break them)

Kyouske No longer had the insane amount of Nature energy that he had before! The man had probably been charging up for that insane attack he had taken. Perhaps This was the opportunity the girl had been looking for! Surely the man had to be tired after the strike, it was probably the best chance to take a shot at him.

The girl Quickly extended her hand, and started gathering wind into it, thanks to her natural ability to master wind ninjutsu, this power of the technique was... well.. going to be the strongest technique in her arsenal, (Besides the one she just showed.) A ball of wind chakra would appear in her hand, as the girl started forming her  spiral ring jutsu. If the jutsu shot out sucess fully, it would come out at a speed of 130 and a power of 125, however, something would stop her as she did. The man would hold his hand out and silence the crowd, and would bellow deeply, "Hikari Namikaze, I hereby grant you the rank of jounin and all the authority it commands"

....


Was this man serious right now?

The Chunin / Jounin's clone would disappear (In case anyone is wondering about the shuriken the the clone had thrown, it was probably thrown off course by the vacuum) Surly this couldn't be it! Hikari had almost forgotten that she had been in the exam, She needed to see more of strange energy so that she could figure out how to harness it herself!

Suddenly, Kyouske's skin would turn back to normal, and the man would stumble a bit. As Hikari saw this, she knew (or at least in her mind thought) that this was limit of the queens guard, even if he was insanely powerful, the battle must of gotten to him, perhaps exhaustion, or injury to the man's body was what caused the early stopage.

The red hair man would approach young teen which he had made into a Genin, and now a Jounin and she would turn off her golden eyes and wind rejuvenation. “You have proved yourself capable, I wish you well in the future.” Would offer his hand out for a hand shake, and the girl would be in so much shock, that she wouldn't be able to even react at first... but then would say something, without taking the man's hand (More out of shock and desperation rather than trying to be informal) "I'm.... I'm..... I'm grateful for this opportunity sir, and I accept! But sir? Could I ask you a favor and request that we continue our battle? My research isn't complete yet!"

Presuming the man would question this (After all, Hikari didn't make a lot of sense, she was here for an exam, not research!) she would gulp and continue with her explanation.
"Well.... back when I first became Chunin, Lady Akihana requested that I learn two techniques. The main one she wanted me to learn was a forbidden Jutsu called The Curse mark seal jutsu. Basically... I'm still confused about it... but from the information that I gathered on it, it can make someone who has the seal on them incredibly powerful, as in, give a Genin the power level of a Chunin or even a Jounin. I have been doing research about it, but the only thing I have really been able to find out is that the jutsu's power has a side effect that changes your skin to a dark grey color, the color of your eyes to a dirty yellow... similar to how your's just changed during the fight. You.... I was able to see it, somehow, you were able to gather Chakra from the surrounding area, and that somehow made you stronger and more durable, I don't know how you did that, If you have the seal yourself, or if you have some sort of natural ability to allow yourself to gather this energy, but please! I need to be able to study it a bit more. Could you perhaps allow us to continue the battle?"

The Chestnut haired girl felt terrible asking this, after all, the man looked really tired and exhausted, but this was the best lead she had for a long time! And this was her best opportunity to learn the Seal!

(OOC: Sorry, Just got back from a con and wanted to post this for you, also, will redo AP if needed)

TLDR
Hikari barely dodges the blast, and is about to throw a wind rasengan at Kyousuke, but Kyousuke stops the fight and ranks her up, Hikari accepts the rank, but begs him to continue the fight as she still needs to do her research on the Curse mark seal jutsu, and explains about what she learned about it so far.

Claims:
Also, going to do a mid-thread claim and claim Jounin rank, as Hikari has been officially been ranked up, will make other claims at the end of the thread.
