Jounin Tournament: 3 way battle

The locking BoKali lay under her hoodie, already in two pieces. Her weapon pouch lived within the pocket of her hoodie. And, of course, her clothing was not normal clothing. She had grown it earlier this morning with her transformation technique. That was the smart thing to do, for her. Easier than having to strip naked mid fight, at least. Within the weapon pouch was five kunai, five shuriken, two explosive tags, and two smoke bombs. She did not bother with having the Katana on her, as she was poorly skilled with it and truthfully it just got in the way. Her headband lay on a normal piece of cloth underneath her hoodie. Currently, it was barely visible, but she just needed to adjust her head a bit for it to fall within her shirt and be completely hidden. She stood with her hands behind her back, waiting for the match to start.

(TLDR: It is about sunset, only shinobi are in the stands, and the last paragraph is important)

As per formal combat rules, I am posting my stat page here:

…… Wait, this was optional?

The Sun was setting after a long day of fighting, however, the sun was still high enough in the sky that the arena was still illuminated by its warm rays. If the girl wanted to be truthful to herself, the Jounin didn’t want to be in the battle, heck, if she wanted to come back to the main realm today, it was to see how Sanae Kaguya, Yurei Uchiha, Miyamoto Termui, and Kotetsu Shinogami battle in the chunnin tournament. However…. The girl actually hadn’t fully seen the tournament poster, she just saw a glimpse of it as she was watching the gates of Hoshigakure from her alternate dimension, and misread that the tournament was mandatory. As such, the girl signed up, and had only just found out today that it wasn’t optional due to the fact that neither Shina nor Valen was around. Honestly…. This would probably be for the best, Hikari always felt useless around Shina, perhaps not anymore, but when Hikari was starting out with practicing fuinjutsu, the woman’s seals always surpassed her own. Prehaps this was no longer true, but being around her always made Hikari’s presences seem….. redundant. And then there was Valen…. Hikari really needed to stop avoiding him and just talk to him about their last conversation.

However, it wasn’t wise to think about who wasn’t there, but instead the girl should focus on who was there, because neither of her opponents were something to laugh at. Her first opponent was Kenshin Uzumaki, the Albino that had intervened in her Chunin exams.  The chestnut haired girl’s other opponent was Shiroi…. one of Hikari’s most dearest friends. Hikari had once spared with the Jounin Loli back when the Fuinjutsu specialist was only a genin. Of course, the young tavern girl had gone a long way since then, so perhaps she stood a chance now?

This entire tournament seemed…. a little bit pointless to the girl honestly. Since the girl moved into her alternate dimension, rent was no longer an issue which meant the girl had more then enough finances to fufill any desires she wanted. As for the rank….. Well, Hikari didn’t have a big desire for it. To be promoted to the rank of queens guard….. was an honor to say the least, but it came with a lot more responsibilities. While the chestnut haired woman would be more than willing to take up any responsibilities she needed to for their great village as needed, she was a little reluctant to volunteer to take on extra responsibilities.

The best choice of action would have been to just drop out of the tournament right now and not bother with it, and if this was her Chunin exam, she might of done just that. However…. There was something that made the girl reluctant to do this, and that would be that the girl heard that there was an audience. This audience would have been completely made up of shinobi of course, as there would be no way that civilians would be willing to watch a tournament with people that practiced the dark magics that shinobi utilized. That being said, pretty much everyone in the stands would be either students, Genin, or chunin, probably wanting to see what a shinobi that had obtained the rank of Jounin would be capable of, and perhaps inspire them selves to train harder, to put more effort into their training, and strive to reach greater heights. Of course…. That would all go to waste if Hikari dropped out so suddenly….

After thinking about it for some time, the girl came up with a plan, a few flashy ninjutsu, and then flee. That would be all Hikari needed to do in order to boost the morale of the village, and that she didn’t need to put to much effort into the battle, or worst win and take upon herself more responsibilities.

With this resolve, the reluctant Jounin would activate her golden eyes and enter into the arena, climbing the stairs to avoid the clear water that surrounded the arena. Activating her golden eyes, the girl would walk 15 meters towards the center of the arena, so about 20 meters from the stands, and about 20 meters from the center of the arena. To her left  she saw Shiroi standing about the same distance away from the center, about 28 meters away from Hikari, (I know that is off, and wouldn’t put us quite in the center, but I am just being lazy with the numbers). Hikari would give a soft smile and wave at her, although, it was a bit of distance between the two, so Hikari couldn’t tell if the girl was able to see the friendly gesture. Prehaps Hikari felt a little bit more safe around Shiroi this time because she knew for sure she was going to get to keep her clothes on the entire time. As for Kenshin, it appeared like the The Uzumaki hadn’t made it to the arena yet. Looks like the two girls would have to wait for the albino so they could start their dance.


Ap -5 for golden eyes.

It seemed that all three were intent upon waiting. At least for a bit. Shiroi debated waiting similarly, but decided that this solution seemed more... Well, she would take the initiative in the least interesting way.

With a jump, she would climb eighty five meters in the air, and with one arm around one half length of the BoKali, would reach up and lock it in place, before swinging herself around to stand on top of it, in a handstand. From there, she would once again launch herself, jumping off of the rod, but using her arms to do the push off. At the last possible second, she would release the BoKali's grip on... whatever it gripped to remain completely stationary, and launch herself up another eighty five meters, doing a small flip to once again be right side up. She would repeat this process three more times, continually going straight up. On the last one, instead of jumping off of and releasing the BoKali, she would let it stay. She would swing around to sit on top of the weapon, and with one arm behind her, lock the other piece in place, giving her a backrest. As such, she would sit quite far up in the air, barely a spec to observers, but certainly still there, and as there was no height to the event field, still technically within it. Plus that flag pole on the side rose pretty high. She was not far above that, so she should totally still qualify.

It would take a little bit of time before anyone actually started to do anything, the three Jounin waiting for someone or something to start things off.....


It didin't surprise Hikari to see Shiroi start the battle off, However, what she did was to start the battle off was quite surprising. She would jump, straight up (At a speed of 42, or so I am told, but if not Hikari would adjust accordingly).  The chesnut haired girl wasn't sure what this was about, but  would seize the opportunity as it presented it self.

Without forming a handsign, Twilight would form at a speed of 150 about 5 meters away from Hikari and in between the two jounin Konochi, and instantly sail through the air at a speed of 187, its metallic blade having a sharpness of 221. If left uninterrupted, the blade would catch Shiroi as she was about 20 meters in the air in the thy, diging itself into her flesh. It wouldn't go all the way through though, as the hilt would stop it, but the impact force force the girl's leg, and by extension, the owner of said leg flying with the weapon. This would in turn carry Shiroi through the air until it reached its maximum distance before disappearing. which would be about 90 meters. Draging the girl over and out of the stadium, Which would of been enough for the girl to be eliminated via stadium out. Normally, the girl would feel bad about causing so much damage to her freind, however, Hikari knew Kyousuke was around, and a wound of the size that would be left on her would be easy to heal by the Hogokage.

However, the loli wasn't Hikari's only opponent.

Not waiting to see if the golden blade connected, the Akari would pull out a kunai and infuse it with wind style chakra and place it on a small plate that Hikari made with her chakra, in front of her and would chuck  it at Kenshin (Speed of  162, sharpness of 136, Who was, by Kenshin's calculation, about 35 meters away from Hikari or something like that.), before instantly starting to make the hand signs for one of her favorite jutsu, the shuriken clone jutsu. (Speed of Handsigns 120)

Once the weapons got about 10 meters away from Hikari, the weapons would multiply, creating a storm of 1000 Kunai, the cluster extending  about 3 meters high and about 20 meters wide. If left unattended, two of these kunai would connect with Kenshin's flesh, one connecting to his left shoulder, and one on the right knee. due to the location of the attacks, the albino wouldn't suffer any fatal injuries, but it would be enough to dig into the albino's shoulder, probably taking it out of the fight, and blow out his knee and make it very difficult, if not impossible, for the teen to walk.

Of course, as everyone says now, Hikari's actions might change based on what actions others take, and anything number not listed should be presumed to be its maximum possible value (Unless it would kill, in which case, lower it to something that won't.)

ap:

Shiroi saw the formation of the blade, pointed roughly in her direction, and saw it begin movement. And while it was hard to track due to its sheer speed, she had a rough idea of where it was headed from those first moments. And so she stopped, locking the bar in the air and rotating around it, narrowly avoiding damage from the technique. Before unlocking the staff from the world, she would push off, effectively jumping down, though not straight but rather laterally, pointed towards the other kunoichi, and proceed towards the ground, while slipping the staff piece once again under her hoodie.

While Hikari was messing with Kenshin, and Kenshin was appropriately responding, or well, would be soon enough, though she did not personally know what Kenshin had actually accomplished whenever and if that did happen, Shiroi formed a single, powerful, hand seal.

Several things happened in quick succession. First, Shiroi's body became a rainbow of colors, placing the audience in momentary awe.

Next, her knee abruptly bent the wrong way, placing the audience in momentary disgust.

The final step was for her entire body, hair, clothing, and all they covered, to seemingly disappear. And while the astute in the audience would know the disappearance was a mere trick of the light, a trick of the eyes, anyone unprepared may not realize it as such.

And such was how she fell back to the earth, landing a roll and immediately breaking out into a sprint. Running now at her max speed, with a strength well outside the realms of normal humans, even her more average chakra stat was acceptable. And such was how she would approach Hikari, who was still looking away from the smaller girl, having only just launched her volley, not yet having cloned it. Shiroi's end goal was a swift as can be kick to the lower jaw with enough force to send her flying, but not enough force to kill, but only barely. Though a broken jaw was not entirely out of the question. The plan was simple: cartwheel to victory. To put it in more words, she would perform a partial cartwheel, ending on one hand, around which she would twist in an attempt to land her foot in Hikari's lower jaw. Should the taller girl rely on vision alone, she would notice the attack too late to respond, due to its quick appearance within her field of view, and how close it would be to her face when this happened. But who ever used only a single sense?

OOC Note 3:

Th chestnut haired girl would notice Shiroi suddenly changing directions and heading right at Hikari thanks to her chakra sensory. The Hiyu would land and dash towards the Akari (Speed is 170 if I recall correctly.) The Jounin would be about 10 meters away from Hikari as she finished her cloning Jutsu, and the moment that was up, Hikari would activate her Shield of Haven, a golden dome of light would surround the girl, forming at a speed of 150, so fast enough that Shiroi would still be about a meter away from where the shield formed by the time it was complete..  At this point, Hikari would presume that Shiroi would halt, after all, if she continued the attack, she would be very likely to injure herself on the golden barrier that separated the two of them.

(So... I just realized a small problem on the jutsu page. It doesn't specifically say if the shield is able to be seen through or not. So, in order to keep this thread moving along, I am going to say that it can be seen through by all because of the image that I linked to it, but if you guys want to argue that or call in a mod, we can do that as well.)

Now, in side her little bubble, Hikari waited for either Shiroi or Kenshin to make a move, since her options while inside the barrier were very limited.
