Team 1 vs team 2 forest battlefeild

Forest Battlefield advantages

+10  to Katon/fire jutsu while within the forest.
Futon/wind techniques have -10 power.

Dark forest

Team 1 will be concealed and, due to the poor lighting are much harder to spot visually. (You guys can still be heard and if in visual range seen. Unless sensory/ abilities are used to by pass this.)  Due to team 1 spending  considerably more time in the wooded area. Team 1 has a maximum visual range of 70 in all directions. Should anyone climb in the trees visual range increases by +20 meters?

Trees have a height of 35 meters and are at 1.5 meters apart. 

Disadvantage


team 2's vision range will be 50 meters in any directions. And must spot members of team 1 that are in this range due to the closely knitted trees, and bushes as well as bad lighting. If at least positioned 5 meters high in the trees. Your visual range will increase by +20 meters in all directions. 


The burning woods

The use of fire jutsu will be much more prominent. This may be a good thing in your favor. But also bad.

Katon/fire jutsu will ignite the surrounding area in a distance equal to half the distance of the fire technique used. This will burn trees, shrubs, and bushes respectfully at the same power of said fire/Katon technique. The burning lasts for 2 posts.  After which a thick smoke will cover the area filling up to 5 meters for every meter the fire /Katon jutsu traveled. Should a water jutsu affect the area this will instead not burn the area but will create thick steam instead?

While in the steam/smoke this will by intensive purposes be like wandering within the hidden mist technique. However, all vision is blinded if it is the smoke. Breathing in the smoke results in a -10 RT reduction. This lasts until the smoke clears the area.

Wind techniques of C rank or higher will dispell the smoke/ steam.

* the Battlefield is 300 meters from all ends. Being protected by a barrier ops team. Individuals cannot enter this barrier unless they have tags specifically for this event.*

Rules recap:

Higuto was standing along the trunk of a tree, around 15 meters up it's height, thanks to two kunais he had sunk deep into the wood and thus stood atop them to try and test how far he could look out along the forest from their location. He would look to Feza and nod to signal that he was ready as he had his hands in his pockets. He was cautious of wanting to make too much noise as he was worried about the opposing team they were to face against. Aside from one person he had fought and knew the other three members of the opposing team and knew their strengths and what they could do. Things didn't look good and he was having his doubts but he kept such doubts to himself. Taking in the terrain he would continue to stand at his position along the tree trunk and think of a plan.

Tadashi stood attentively amongst a sea of viridian trees, deciding to reside in a tree parallel to Higuto (15 meters in height, 5 meters to the left of Higuto.) Sekisetsu was held firmly in his right hand, as a kunai laced with an explosive tag was gripped in his left hand. The ginger's red scarf covered his face, halfway up his nose, as Tadashi didn't want poison thrown at his face as he passed out, like a repeat with his fight against Masashi. Breathing in and out slowly, he got in a crouching stance to observe his terrain. Waiting for Feza's orders, he would remain vigilant in his respective tree, mindful to not create a lot of noise.


"...And so it begins, the first round..."  


WC: 226

The team as of question was at the ready as yen had arrived. The time in which the teams were amid planning yen was already well aware of a current situation stirring up. Therefore the duties of ita uchiha the team 1 leader acceptably transended the duties for this. Kinzoku was notified reasonably amid yens travel from the makeshift city to the dense location of the forest in which the first test of the  genin and chunin chosen were gathered.

 While as such the dark forest was indeed what it was l. Dark and otherwise difficult to traverse properly. Snags and branches amid the area as it was forbidding, and yet tranquil. The aburame with casual ease piced up the signatures amid the forest. Alone and well as expected together.

Good they seem at the ready. This will sumise a bit more of a work out this way. With me and kinzoku alternating between the teams.


Yen thought as he closed the distance and his black cloak hid his figure amid the darkness of the trees. Only revealing his single eye as he quietly studied the trio. The other two were on the forest ground. While higuto was  15 meters below him  as he was 30 meters above him in the tree line. His black hat  surmised as it was dark enough to blend the aburame in the dark trees.

"Looks like you guys are ready. Ita had important buisness to attend to so me and the hokage will be keeping full tabs on this. As such be at the ready."

His tags were respectively still in the same spot he placed when he placed them in the city. Lining his chakra charm necklace along the gem which was hidden under his jouninn flak jacket. Right beneath his black shirt. Also as he had traveled he had retrieved one of his name sake ties prior to arriving at the designated spot. But it was well hidden around his neck protected by his flak jacket as well. A  white tie  wrapped loosely around his neck, Yet secured. He did not however need to utilize his chakra charm for the time. So he ignored its benifits. Forgoing for his white tie.

(White tie grants yen a passive +25 to his speed, but not needing his chakra charm +25 chakra for topic.)

Wc:348

His crimson red eyes scanned the dense canopy of trees that surrounded him and his team as they slowly traversed the forest. "I should just burn this whole fucking place down and them along with it, these fucking pussies, just hiding like rodents." Annoyingly uttered the Uchiha, irritated by the fact that their opponents were clearly hiding. If he did not find them soon, he would not hesitate to torch the entire place.

"Stay frosty people." Suddenly spoke the team leader as he came to a halt, slightly shifting his gaze over towards Kinzoku to see if he picked up on the chakra signature as well. Focusing his gaze on the surrounding tree's once more, he would continue "Im sensing someone's chakra signature about 62 meters out. We're getting close." With that, he would continue cautiously onward, always ready and expecting an ambush. If the team remained hidden, Kisuke's team would not close the 60 meter gap in between them anytime soon therefore they would continue sitting up in their trees, doing nothing.

Jason was probably the only member of his team that felt completely at home here in the forest. The trees might as well have been an extension of himself at this point, considering his wood style. Still, that didn’t help him in finding his opponents. It was a shame he couldn’t just destroy the entire forest and regrow a new one.....or could he? Ironically his musings were interrupted by their team captain voicing nearly the same thought.

”Hey now, let’s not set anything on fire just yet. BUT I could use my water style to flood the area and flush them out that way? Actually you know what, why don’t we just do both? Do you have any widespread fire style jutsu?” His eyes continued to scan the area furiously as he spoke, not wanting to be caught off guard by anything. Soon enough though Kisuke would mention sending someone’s chakra signature almost seventy meters away. Jason could feel his muscles tense and his heart begin to pump faster as the excitement of this long anticipated battle was about to commence.

”Which direction? the Senju asked, already beginning to perform a rather larger number of seals to launch a surprise attack that would undoubtedly take care of some of the tree issue as well. ”Get me within fifty meters and then stand behind me.” Hopefully his leader would comply and understand what he was about to do.

Nekrun felt like he was acting as a drone in this battle, just taking orders from his peers without question up till now, but he had not problem with that as he was obviously inferior due to the position he was given. Nekrun followed through the trees, he didn't quite like it in the trees, but it was fine as long as he got to battle. 

Nekrun would listen to the conversation between the other two, and concluded that he wouldn't be able to help with the clearing in as easy of a way that the rest could as he could only boost his strength and health. Kisuke said he could sense a enemy, this got Nekrun excited and he was ready to finally start this thing.

 Nekrun noticed that Jason was performing handseals, but he couldn't tell what jutsu it was from where he was standing. Nekrun was glad that Jason proposed us getting closer, because close range was where Nekrun shone the brightest and fought the strongest.

Kinzoku followed from behind the three other members of the team he was to watch over. He stood behind them no further than 3 meters for a number of reasons. But the main purpose was so he could properly observe his three team members and how they proceeded through the forest. The forest was extremely dense. More so than Kinzoku was use to himself. He found his vision was noticeably hampered by the dense canopy of trees. Even so senses were on full alert. Although this was meant to be a test for the genin and chuunin, it did not mean he could let him and relax on them. After all he was one of the obstacles of this test. 

Twirling a kunai with a single finger through the loop at the end of the handle, Kinzoku couldn't help by smile at Kisuke's remark at simply burning down the forest to smoke the other team out. A crude way of going about it but surely effective. Vice captain Jason initially opposed the idea, opting to flood them before realizing they could do both. His gaze met that of Kisuke as he spoke up adverting the rest of the team to stay frosty. It would seem he had detected a chakra presence approximately 60 meters out. At his base chakra Kinzoku could not sense that far our, further showing the power of an Uchiha's chakra. Thus the team continued onward more cautious than before. "We're just about 50 meters out" Kinzoku informed the team, mostly Jason since he had asked as they now entered his chakra sensory range as well. If they could sense the other team, then the other team could surely sense them approaching. Kinzoku had his chakra suppressed so he would go unnoticed by chakra sensing methods. One way or another they would find out he was there.

Not too far away, Suzume could also sense the presence of other shinobi by their chakra signatures. There were multiple (of course), and while she couldn't pinpoint it something felt familiar about their signatures. She figured they were shinobi she had met before. That didn't mean a whole lot to her at the moment, although gave her hope that not everything was a disadvantage in this trial. If she knew something, it could be used against them. 

Standing still was never recommended when in battle. While Suzume never had been in any serious or even real fight yet, she wasn't about joke around about it now. Not wanting to give away their location, she wrote on a small paper a plan. "Let's get some distance and surround them," she wrote, passing the note to Higuto who was not too far below from the tree she was in.
