chunin mission Part 2 (Cole, Satoru, Xuba)

xuba scooped up the last bit of egg from his plate. it was a quiet breakfast he was finishing as across from him his twin xabi was busy chowing down on his plate of bacon. As he saved the meat for last in his breakfast.  The two brothers were now nearly done with breakfast as the sun continued to rise in the east. The small diner was basked with sunlight from the east bringing a soft warmth to the diner.
 
 The two brothers tipped the diner, and xuba and xabi proceeded on to prepare setting up the weapons and items necessary for today's events. Mainly to prepare his weapons properly as they were secured on his cloak. Thus the brothers headed towards a quiet place in the training grounds xuba was Shifting to make sure he could move easily, and safely in the armor. While not disrupt his weaponry and quietly practiced retrieval of the weapons in quick, and efficient ways. Before he was satisfied with the results. 
 
 
After rearranging the shuriken’s, and other weapons strategical.  Xuba fashioned on his grey cloak with his shuriken’s lined on the inside of his left sleeve for easy hidden accessibility. The two kunai and 2 of his smoke bombs were lined on the inside of the right sleeve of his cloak. with the large fuma shuriken secured on the back of his black armor. The fuma shuriken was in it open form where xuba could easily retrieve it and throw the weapon without any difficulty at all. Meanwhile his last kunai and smoke bomb were looped along the wires that were in a roll on his left hip. His katana was in its sheath on his right hip, and easily accessible for xuba after he had practiced in the armor a bit. He had an nice set of 8 meters of wire on his left hip in a roll with the kunai and smoke bomb lined with the wiring. so that if thrown or in the case of the kunai wielded.  The wire would begin to extend as an make shift additional extendable weapon. 
 
Underneath his armor was his black shirt which hid his flak jacket. Under the protection of the armor, and his gauntlets were his Strong-arm bands. The gauntlets being fashioned and re-secured on his hands. melding the black of the the armor, and gauntlets so if one were to look it looked as if there was not a single difference and the armor looked all the same.  As the two brothers made it to the entrance of the stadium.
 
"well this is where i will see you after the whole thing xabi. observe from the stands"
 
xuba stated as he walked through the entrance, and xabi headed towards the stands. Here xuba walked through the entrance his metalic boots echoing through the tunnel and one could hear the clinks and clanks of the chain link weapon that was hanging loosely on his shoulders for easy access to the man. The helmet was over his head providing xuba with the usual head protection and hence showing little to no weaknesses with himself fully geared and mentally ready to fight.
 
Although one opponent was known which was cole. He knew cole like himself preferred close combat. the other boy was a mystery to him. Which made xuba consider his options on handling and approaching such an situation. For the most part this looked to be a simple free for all. Which made things both easy, yet a tad bit complex So he would mostly go with the flow of things
 
 The arena was pretty large, so he took it in as for every detail of the arena he could take full advantage of as he made his way into the place.  With that being said xuba would position himself an moderate distance of 35 meters away from each opponent, with the distance measured in full between himself and the wall at all angles so to not of course tragically cause himself some sort of mishap in his positioning. Each opponent would be within his visual range. So he could take note and respond to each action as need be.

Mission:

The Arena:

Well, this had taken some time to get together!

It was a sunny day in Hoshigakure as the heat bore down on Namikaze's bare shoulders. With Valen Akari and Company out of the village, she honestly had a lot of other things that she should of been doing rather than taking care of a chunin selection exam. That being said, the Deputy Kage of Hoshigakure knew that all three of these gennin had been patiently waiting for a long time to have an opportunity to show to the village that they had what it took to become a Journeyman level shinobi. A right that these young men had been denied for far to long. Hikari stood among the stands along with 3 royal judges personally appointed by the royal family to oversee this mission. Once the three gennin entered the ring, the Maiden of Light would turn to her the high overseers to see if they were ready, which they all confirmed with a nod of their heads.

With that, Hikari would rise from her seat and move to the edge of the balcony, raising her voice so that the "Brave men of Hoshigakure, I welcome you to the second part of your Chunin selection examination! To arrive at this point, you must have shown great skill in your missions up to this point, and have shown great restraint while under pressure from our civilian population. However, those skills will not help you here. This exam is a free for all battle examination, where the winner will be the last among you that can continue to fight. That being said, killing of any kind will not be tolerated in this arena. Any attempt to do so will result in your immediate forfeiture of this exam and other consequences. I expect each and every one of you to fight with honor and bare the pride of Hoshigakure on your backs during this examination. May the battle began!"  

With that, Hikari would return to her seat and activate her golden eyes, casting her gaze upon the battle field.

[-5 ap for GE Activation]

(OOC: At this point feel free to skip me unless an attack comes upon the Judges or Hikari herself, or she may be needed to intervene. Good luck and remember to have fun! )

The anmouncer stood up and spoke their speech. It was defintly a well thought out speech say the least, but a bit rehershed. At this time xabi quietly observed xuba from the stands as the twin was curious to what may happen in this exam.

Xuba in the meantime now being at an adjusted 100 meters from each of his opponent. He heard the girl speak out having understood the rules as well it was now the tricky part.

The first move. Also known to xuba as tbe deciding move in any combat senario. For he knew that having been out numbered before. This was a cautionary point, but also he needed a way to simotaniously strike out at his opponents.

hmmm well lets see

The man thought as his armor. Clinked with each step he took. Now he was merely walking backwards at a speed of 1 as he decided to head not towards the center of the stage, but backwards about 10 meters. Placing him 90 meters from the edge of the stage should he not be interrupted.His body facing the center so he was able to get a wide cone view of each contestant. Allowing himself if permitted without any complications. A solid 110 meter gap between himself and each other conteatant.

Especially since cole decided to advance, and as xuba noted cole drew a blade now visibly glowing with chakra. He would then assume that by observing each induvidual he would get a solid grasp of if cole improved, and how the two others will interact.

observe the opponents and lets see them react. Should they react to each other? Unlike a "spar" one must know when to strike. It can be at any time, any angel. But at the start you must observe. Seals will be seen. A hand may be compromised by a weapon.

Xuba thought as his right hand instinctively shifted towards kunai wrapped and tied with wire on his right hip. Yet this was a simple swaying motion. Testing what each induvidual would notice of his movements. A trick of the hands. Seemingly pointless to the observer.

Since this was a 300 meter stage he would be using the large gap of distance to his full advantage. His mind flashing back to the world outside of the village. He would not kill the contestants. Thats for certain, but he was slowly reverting if not for this moment. The fight. Back to the tactics he would use.

[I] yes... a step back to when i actually had to fight... now lets see.[i/]

Years of experience out in lawless territory was within him. Survival tactics. Escape manuvers. The whole nine yards. Now it was to see what they would do. Their actions would determine if they would be the ones to susceed as there wpuld not be a shred of mercy for the slightest mishap.

Xuba was able to see their eyes and what they were following with their gaze. Assuming the peripheral range of their vision. The slightest shifting of their eyes to the instinctive twitching of his right hand. His knees slightly and he would tap the ground slightly but with a soft "clink" of metal from his silver boots as he would tap his left foot on the ground.

The actions of his opponents are of concern to Satoru, but not of such great concern that he will base his actions on them. He knows quite well what he wants to do in the first few moments of this contest. When the signal to commence is given, Satoru immediately puts both of his hands together and performs the summoning technique. His focus is still on his opponents as he leaps backward by three meters to allow for the white smoke from the summoning to disperse without affecting his field of vision too heavily. With his summoned companion on the battlefield, Satoru now feels more comfortable fighting this unknown variable that is the one clad in armor.

Hisato, the black and blue salamander who hails from Rain Country, stands at the same height as Satoru himself. The Nara walks forward to stand next to his partner. He also draws the large fan from his back and places it vertically upon the ground such that his elbow rests upon it. His hands are close together in preparation to perform hand seals. The actions which Satoru has performed up to this point have all been in succession without pauses in between.

AP:

Cole kept his pace of slowly walking forward waiting to see what the other two was going to do. He did this because cole was a close-range fighter and he knew that Xuba was also and that Satoru was a medium range fighter. From the distance that he was at it left to much room for either of them to act before he could close the distance. Leaving the slow walk as the only real option or nothing would have gotten done. He noticed that Xuba had started to slowly walk backward away from the center making more distance. Cole figured as much Xuba was a smart fighter and he knew how this would go down. Either two would team up on one of them or one would wait out the other two and let them tire themselves fighting each other before coming in to finish them off. Cole knew that he couldn’t let Xuba do that and would have to get him into the fight as well but that would depend on what Satoru was going to do. For now, though cole would keep walking forward at the slow pace that he had set at the start of the fight still channeling his chakra into the katana he held in his hand.


Cole then noticed that Satoru was up to something as he made a few hand signs and jumped back a few meters while a puff of smoke rose up from the ground revealing a huge salamander. Interesting cole thought to himself he didn’t know that Satoru had Summons. “I think I will follow suit” Cole whispered under his breath. With it now being three other people in the arena to defeat cole gained an awesome idea that would even the odds possible even in his favor if ever so slightly. Cole would slice the tip of his thumb open on the blade of the katana as he stopped walking after crossing 30 meters from his starting position. Putting him about 80 meters from Xuba and only 70 meters from Satoru. Cole would slam his left hand on the ground while holding the katana in his right hand. Letting two puffs of smoke rise up on both sides of him but slightly behind him so that he could keep both Satoru and Xuba in his field of vision. To the left of him, a giant ten-foot tall scorpion would rise up out of the puff of smoke. The tip of his tail missing and covered in battle scars from his head to his tail. While to the right of him a smaller but still massive scorpion in its own right would rise up as well out of the smoke. This one around the 7-foot tall mark with a black sleek body and not a scar one on it. “Is it time to fight again” the taller one would ask. Cole wouldn’t look away from his opponents making sure they weren’t going to attack for the time being. “Not a lot of time guys I'm in a tournament for a chunin rank up and need you guys to help even the odds. Shingui he said to the bigger one to his left I need you to keep Xuba busy and try to eliminate him from the fight. Either by knocking him out or throwing him from the arena don’t care how just don’t kill him. Meanwhile, I and Kajiun will go after Satoru. Kajiun I need you to take care of his summon and keep him out of the fight as much as possible if you see an opening though Sting Satoru the poison won’t kill him immediately but it will take him out of the fight the medics can take care of the poison. I'll take care of Satoru if anyone is able to take out someone come to help they others” cole would give his orders to his summons in a matter of seconds while he kept an eye on his two opponents.


Shingui would charge at a speed of 75 towards Xuba location until he hit the 30-meter mark away from xuba. Where Shingui would use his Pincer attack increasing his speed to 145 as he closed the distance. When he got within ten meters of Xuba Shingui would sling his right pincer at Xuba at a speed of 145 and enough force to knock him out but not kill him, as Shingui would hold back on the power as he was ordered to do so. Shingui would keep an eye on Xuba and would change tactics according to what Xuba did.


Cole and Kajiun would charge at Satoru. When both Cole and Kajiun got within 30 meters from Satoru and he summons Kajiun would burrow underground staying below Cole while activating his Poison tail mass jutsu growing 4 extra tails to make five in total. Cole and Kajiun would charge straight ahead at Satoru. When they got within 15 meters Kajiun would start to grow his tail out to the 20-meter range at a speed of 100 all 5 of his tails would extend under the ground below both Satoru and his summon. Once they closed another 5 meters the tails would be behind both Satoru and his summon. Kajiun using cole as the distraction would rise a tail up out of the ground in both Satoru and his summons blind spot behind them at a speed of 100 and aim to sting both of them in the back missing any armor that they might be wearing by aiming for exposed areas of the body such as the back of the neck.

Cole in an attempt to be the distraction for an attempt to attack Satoru head on holding the chakra infused Katana out to his right like he was going to attempt a slash of the blade from the right side.

So the exams were underway, and now it was time to throw in the twist. This was easily the case as xuba had stopped upon taking 2 steps. Ending 101 meters from the center as he had observing 2 things. The boy saturo whom would be on his right about 102 meters away from himself. And he decided to hop backwards. Which was a very costly move. As to "hop" normally classifies as a jump. Which would put him at his jumping speed of 13. Going back the 3 whole meters. (Best not to hop satoru man) 

Then there was cole whom was on his way towards the center of the arena. Stopping 81 meters from xuba and proceeding his summoning motion by of course nicking his hand, and then kneeling while his blade was still raised.  Each person was cautious, but action waited for no one. This was why xuba knew that to survive and be of any grain of worth. The initiative must always be held and maintained with an iorn grip.

This here was where xuba began his own motions before cole's hand reached the ground, and while satoru was still midair.  xuba would’ve already had shifted his hands to a unique hand seal motion and inhaled through his nose deeply. Initiating the seven heavens breathing method. His muscles would bulk under his armor and under the visor of his helmet one would see the glowing eyes. All occurring while saturou was still traveling in the air and cole was finishing his setting up for the weaving of the seal(s) required to summon.(+60 speed and strength, final strength:130, final speed:185, reaction time: 255) 

 As the He would be buffed simultaneously shrug his left shoulder initiating the hidden arms technique.  Thus 2 shuriken’s from his left side of his cloak would slide into his the safe grip of his gauntlet covered left hand the gauntlet with smooth ease. As satoru reached the 2-meter mark and Coles hand was reaching for the ground. As the summoning seal was forming.  Under cole’s hand, but before the smoke would occur initiating the summoning. (Hidden arms technique: speed: 100)

Now with his right hand xuba with speed and ease reached for the kunai handle of the kunai looped with the steel wire and the smoke bomb attached to the other end of the 4 meters of wire.  As the boy saturo's feet would be a couple inches from the ground.(Speed: 185) 

Thus with  a motion that moved faster than both other contestants could process. Xubas both of xuba hands would launch their respectively held weapons, left hand the 2 shruikens, and right hand the  kunai with wire  and smoke bomb attached. Obviously these weapons are secured with care not to slip while traveling through the air. The two shruikens would be formed in the formation of the shadow shuriken technique.  With one shruiken on the bottom and the other on the top. As they will have a hint of a curve thanks to xuba’s art of the trick shot. Requiring very steady eyes to keep track of the thrown weapons.  These two shuriken would do a 1 degree shift downward a bit. As they would respectfully be aimed towards satoru’s gut, and the lower one would be hitting towards the hip middle of saturous hip level aimed for the socket joint area. Should they make contact these will deal devastating damage to the boy, perhaps putting him fresh out of the fight. 

(shadow shruiken: + 10 to throwing speed -10  reaction time to satoru, final throwing speed: 242 sharpness:  123, max throwing distance: 121 meters, reaction time to track shruikens thanks to art of the trick-shot: 252)

The kunai with the 4 meters of wire attached and tied with the smoke bomb at the end Were sent well sailing towards Cole and adding a solid curve to the throw with his art of the trick shot. This would be a slight 1-degree shift to the left and down. Turning this from being a lethal head shot. To a ghastly wound. The kunai unless stopped would tear through cole's  right collar bone,  tearing through the bones, muscles and tendons, while sailing downward to go through the right side of his back creating an horrific hole, and strike into the scorpion that would be summoned on his right side *kajiun*( and probably through that too if it’s health stat was not high enough.) The attacks Striking as  the smoke would form, and the scorpions are summoned. Of course, it would be a dreadful, but not fatal wound. As per the proctor’s request. The results however would’ve been different.

 The smoke bomb upon the kunai hitting cole. Would with the thanks of the wire swing to the right, and hook around cole, and then strike the scorpion on the left side of cole *shingul*  (see below for throwing speed) the following impact would be a deafening “thud.” Followed by a nasty “crack” from the in the scorpion’s shell. Creating the smoke cloud that will envelope the trio.   The wire in the meantime would wrap around the scorpion’s claw and tie his claw to cole should his strength stat not suffice. The wire and smoke bomb would be considered blunt force as would the impact of the smoke bomb.  As the claws would be restrained and a harsh cracking of the claws from the initial impact and tightness behind the wires. 

 (final throwing speed: 232, final kunai sharpness: 140, max throwing distance:116 meters, steel wire and smoke bomb blunt force impact damage: 181, reaction time required to track the weapons: 242)
 
 With the weapons being thrown xuba would retreat an additional 10 meters setting himself 111 meters at a speed of 185. from the center of the arena and 90 meters from his end off the arena. His eyes scanning the area of both satoru and cole respectfully for any additional motions and his sensations top notch as he was ready to fight.

It may prove interesting to some to know how Satoru often looks at his surroundings during combat. If he is forced to concentrate on more than one object at any given time, he chooses a point between the two and looks off into the distance in that area. This relieves him from needing to switch between looking at two objects. When one makes a move, Satoru notes the action as he perceives it in his peripheral vision. In a case such as this current contest, the Nara actually finds it pertinent to glance directly at the opponent whose technique is yet unknown when this person moves suddenly.

Satoru’s eyes dart towards Xuba as he performs a unique hand seal. In response, the Nara claps his hands together, taking a breath which causes his skin to take on a dim red tone in combination with his brown skin. Though he is unable to see the oncoming attack, Satoru understandably feels the need to defend himself after an opponent with unknown abilities performs an unknown hand seal.

To do this, he weaves three seals and blows forth a stream of dust traveling at a speed of 60 meant to put a soft barrier between the two. The stream spreads outward in a cone that travels for a total distance of 10 meters. At this maximum distance, the base of the cone has already grown to a diameter of 30 meters. The dust particles continue to be blown forth as the oncoming projectiles pass through it. As a result, the metal is scraped away and disintegrated by the 85 power dust storm of a jutsu. Of course, this occurs because the health of the projectiles in question is 30.

Satoru’s feet touch the ground very shortly after this. The stream ceases to be released but the cloud remains covering an area roughly 30 meters by 30 meters by 30 meters. His summon hears the tap of his toes upon the ground with a force indicating that the Nara has been off of the ground.

“This idiot jumped.” Hisato thinks to himself while performing two hand seals and placing one of his palms onto the ground. This causes a circular wall of silver water to erupt from the ground. It tops off as a dome, making the entire structure 20 meters tall. The area within the wall is 10 meters wide. These dimensions are such that the dust cloud completely obscurs the water jutsu from view on one side. The center of the jutsu is Hisato.

Satoru walks forward to stand next to Hisato. The salamander takes on the task of watching for Xuba if a visual is ever obtained. The Nara keeps his eyes on Cole.
