Chuunin Exams (Higuto vs. Oriton)

Higuto had been nervous. He was very scared of stepping into the arena once again in order to pit his skills against other ninja once again. The last time he'd done so was a horrible effort on his part and memories of that time filled his mind with doubts going into this one. His heart couldn't stop beating fast as he made his way to the topmost layer of the arena and stood about 10 meters from the center on it. He would stand there, the hood of his hoodie down to reveal his hair and hands in his pockets, as he waited for his opponent to enter.

Stats:

Oriton walked into the arena, slightly stretching his arms. He wasn't sure how strong his opponent was, but he looked formidable. Like a real shinobi. There he stood in his casual clothing. He slightly blushed at the fact but shook it off as soon as it came. He had to stay at a peak mental fortitude if he had any way to win this match. He cracked his knuckles, right now he was fifty meters away from the Aburame, standing on the bridge which they walked into.

The boy nodded towards Higuto, although he wasn't sure if he would respond, it seemed like the right thing to do. Hopefully, by the end of this match they could be friends; even better, if he was able to patch him up after kicking his ass.

He waited for his opponent to make any move, he would respond accordingly.

Stats:

Oriton watched with a frown as the rain poured on his head. He didn't enjoy this one bit. After being surrounded by water for almost his whole entire life, he finally was able to see the trees and the beautiful landscape of Konohagakure no Sato, just to be thrown back into the pouring rainfall. It wasn't pleasant, but at least his opponent made him feel at home. The blue-haired boy took a deep breath and took out his kunai swiftly, grasping two in each hand.

He began to walk towards the boy at [25 Speed]. Not too fast, although this was about as fast as he could go, the other man didn't need to know that. He flipped them around in his hand instinctively as he came forward like a predator, eyes narrowed. Specializing in the medical field, he knew how the human body ticked. He wasn't trying to kill him, but he was aiming to incapacitate him so that he would win the match. He didn't know how strong he was still, he had to test it out.

Once he was 15 meters away from the Aburame, he stopped walking and he threw the kunai in his right hand at [59 Speed], aiming at the center of his chest. He was positive that the [59 Sharpness] of the kunai wouldn't kill him, or so he hoped. He looked formidable enough.

Higuto watched his opponent making his move slowly towards him as Higuto could finally feel Oriton's chakra from his distance of 20 meters. It felt weak but Higuto wasn't about to underestimate his opponent any time soon. Before Oriton could get to the 15 meter position he had intended to go Higuto decided to test him out to see if he was hiding anything. As quickly as Higuto could he took both hands out of his pockets and began to bring up his left hand while quickly forming the HorseHorse, Hare, Ram, and Bird seals. 

"Target locked. Storm Style: Laser Circus."

Upon holding the bird seal a circle would form around his left hand and 15 beams of light would shoot out from that circle. 14 of the beams would move to form a cone around Oriton's position, digging their way through any parts of the arena they hit, while Higuto controlled one of the beams to be aimed towards Oriton's cheek to deliver a powerful strike. He didn't seek to kill his opponent as he chose a spot that was among the least lethal. He planned to do all of this before Oriton had the chance to wind up in order to throw his kunai at Higuto. If he somehow succeeded in throwing it, Higuto would see it slowly approach him, noticing it didn't have any tags on it, and use his free right hand to catch it by looping his index finger through the hole at the base of the kunai's handle.

OOC:

Orition forgoes throwing the kunai and drops both of them. As soon as the words "Target Locked" came from his opponent, his hand settled in the hand seal for Body Flicker while his other hand grabbed an explosive tag from his pouch. The way he held it was so Higuto wouldn't be able to see it. It would be safe to assume that it was another kunai by the way he charged at him next.  He would Body Flicker as many meters needed to get to Higuto, and instantly activate his chakra in the tag. He moved his arm forward as if he was going to jab him, underneath Higuto's eyesight so he still couldn't see the Explosive Tag.

He would channel the chakra and close his eyes, the boom sounding out and darkness entering his vision. Orition knew that he wouldn't be able to do it, he was confident that his opponent was stronger than him, the blue-haired boy was a fresh Genin. He knew that this would hurt, and he might suffer permanent damage to him, but he was determined not to lose. A tie would suffice.

The explosion would travel out too fast for the boy to be able to dodge, as he wouldn't be able to see it coming until it happened, even the chakra he used didn't betray any of his thoughts. They were less than a meter from each other, so he wouldn't be able to dodge the blast either.

Orition? His arm was charred and black, traveling all the way up to his shoulder and staining his collarbone and a bit of his chest and abs from the explosion, his whole side burnt. He would lay there unaware of what happened to his opponent.

He only hoped he made his village proud.

(So this is me assuming that I've won the match. If I am mistaken please let me know and I will happily edit.

The reason I believe I've won is because my opponent does not know One Handed Seals, thus making him unable to form a one handed Ram seal, thus meaning he's unable to use body flicker. He also doesn't know Chakra Infusion which is a requirement for needing to be able to use an explosive tag. Being that he can't use either and he doesn't address dodging my laser or anything I believe he is knocked out this post and out of the exams.)

Higuto could see that Oriton had dropped both of his kunai just as Higuto had finished saying "Target locked." as he continued to state his jutsu's name. "What's he doing?" Higuto wondered. He watched as the ninja slowly pulled something out from his pouch just as Higuto shot his Laser Circus towards Oriton. He couldn't see what he was holding but he had the feeling that it was another weapon of some sort as he noticed Oriton form the Ram seal with his other hand. Higuto knew precisely what kind of jutsu Oriton was going for next. However, judging from the low amounts of chakra coming from Oriton, Higuto had serious doubts that Oriton knew how to properly channel his chakra through only one seal. As a result he would see Oriton simply stand there trying to use his intended jutsu only to fail as Higuto's laser hit him directly in the cheek as intended. Upon seeing the laser hit Higuto looked closely at Oriton's hand, as it began to open up, and he saw an explosive tag fall out. Fearing that Oriton had already activated it, and seeing that Oriton had been knocked out from his move, he cancelled out his jutsu and quickly moved down to where Oriton was at top speed and picked his body up onto his shoulder only to hop away from the explosive tag and land on the topmost layer of the arena where he had been. Now away from the danger Higuto would look at the still falling tag and notice that it was a dud due to no chakra being fed through it.

Seeing this Higuto would sigh in relief as he laid Oriton's body down in the center of the arena. Whilst kneeling he would form the Boar and Rat seals with his left hand while a green aura flowed through his right as he trailed his hand over his opponent's cheek where he had hit him.

"Get stronger, dude. If you ever feel up for a rematch I'll happily accept it."

He would hear footsteps just as he finished healing up Oriton's cheek as the medical team arrived and he stood up to step aside and let them work before turning around, hands in pockets, and making his way to the entrance.

{Exit}

[Claiming victory in the first round.]

Oriton's wasn't quick. His plan for redemption would be of no use anymore. The storm chakra seemed to scream as it flew from Higuto's person, disappeared, and suddenly the world was black. The power from the jutsu could easily explain how Oriton got launched. He had consciousness for a bit, but once he skidded across the ground of the stadium, once, and then twice, he laid there out cold. The grasp on the Explosive Tag fell to the ground. It didn't signify anything. Just a plan that was destined to fail.

God, he wished that there weren't people there to watch his sorry excuse for being a shinobi. That was his last thought before he lost the match along with his consciousness.
