Task: The Bloodworks of Sunagakure have recently begun to gain a lot of traction, the general populous loving the opportunity to watch skilled fighters kill each other for their amusement… but unfortunately there is a shortage of truly skilled fighters. You’ve decided to enter yourself into the fray, whether it be for the money that is promised to those who win, the fame that it could afford you… or perhaps just a simple desire to spill blood. In the end your reason means very little, what does matter is that two will enter the arena and only one will be allowed to leave… so try to make sure you’re the one that leaves.

This mission may only be undertaken solo, it cannot be invaded in any way and prevents those inside from leaving its confines until only one remains. Summons may still be used as normal, but any attempts to summon those within the arena will fail.

Stat Page:

Yuurei had a lot of blood on his hands as of late, and honestly, he didn’t mind it. The thrill to kill was fun, but he drew the line somewhere right? Yeah, he didn’t just go around killing anybody that came his way or did him wrong. It only counted when it was a mission as he was getting paid for it, and then there was the first place he ever took someone’s life, the Bloodworks. This place was a place for entertainment, and right now he had decided to take on a mission. It would prove his worth to his Kage and show that he had gotten stronger. The Bloodworks were short on fighters right now, and they needed people to fill the entertainment of those who paid to watch a good fight. When his parent’s found out what kind of mission he was taking, they wanted him to stop because he could lose his life.

The Genin would smile at them as he understood their worry, but he couldn’t turn down the mission right now. It would make him look weak, and it would show that he couldn’t be trusted to take important missions in the future. Yuurei would make sure that he had everything that he needed. The young blood couldn’t lose a fight and blame it on the fact that he forgot something, so he made sure that he brought everything with him. The Uchiha would leave the house without hesitation as he would climb up to the roof of his house like always. There he would start running through the rooftops to avoid the civilians throughout the village. His Travels to the Bloodworks were simple and his reasoning for there just as simple. One it was a mission, two it paid well, and three he was able to kill at the end of it all.

Yuurei would enter the circular arena once more as he would see the woman that was at the counter once again. She would smile when she saw it was the kid from last time, but there was an aura around him that was different.

“I see you are back to fight in the Bloodworks again, Yuurei was it?” She asked him.

“Yeah, I came here because of a mission. I also need to test my abilities and see how far I’ve come, or else it isn’t worth being a ninja.” He said to her as she was surprised to hear his words.

“I see, well you don’t need to do any registration as we have your information from the last time you were here. If you can please go through the hallway to your left, and wait by the gates until your turn comes. I wish you the best of luck, Yuurei.” She said this to him as he was young, and she didn’t want him to lose his life.

Yuurei would hear her words and he would bow to her slightly as he would start walking through the hallway that she told him to go through. There he would make it to the end of the hallway and he could see that there was a gate that would lead anybody to the center of the arena. His heart racing, his body shaking a bit as he was anxious to get this started. The boy would take a seat on a bench on the side as he waited for his turn to come.

Appearance:

This was Kinosabe’s first time entering the bloodworks, not that it really mattered. He was looking forward to testing himself in the arena, and he know that the fighting would be fierce and that there was a chance he would die. None of that was important to the Suna Genin. He was simply sitting, waiting for his turn in the arena; there were some good fights so far, and he was hoping that his turn would be soon. He also hoped that he would face a strong opponent; there was no glory in killing a weakling after all.

It wasn’t long before Kinosabe’s name was called. His opponent was called Yuurei Uchiha; not a name he was familiar with, but he knew that the Uchiha were skilled combatants so the fight should be an interesting one. He got out of his seat and made his way down into a walkway with a gate at the end. There was no one waiting there, so he figured they were waiting at another gate.

There was maybe a delay of about 5 minutes and then the gate in front of him opened. Kinosabe walked out into the arena; it was much larger now that he was actually inside it. A 200m diameter circle, nothing to use other than maybe the dirt on the ground. Nothing but waiting for this Yuurei Uchiha to show up and get this fight started.

Because the fight could literally start at any point, he wouldn’t relax; he’d keep his eyes open and always scanning the entire arena, ready to react to whatever should occur to or around him.

WC: 270

Yuurei would hear his name soon enough, and the name of the person he was fighting. He would nod a bit with his eyes closed as he was memorizing the name of the person he would fight. He cracked his neck and his knuckles as his feet kicked off the ground as he was hyping himself up for the fight ahead of him. He would slap his face with both his hands as his eyes would open up as the gates were opening up in front of him. Fight with everything you have, and make sure you don’t regret anything. He thought to himself as he would walk into the arena as he could see that Kinosabe was waiting for him in the middle of it all.

He would make his way through the arena until he was about thirty meters away from Kinosabe. His eyes open as he would look at the boy who was taller than him and possibly a bit older than him. He had gotten into a fighting stance as he would wait for the fight to start.

“Let the fights begin!” The announcer shouted out loud through the microphone as everyone inside of the arena would shout with excitement.

Yuurei’s eyes would change as it would go from normal vision to that of the Sharingan. While that was happening, his left hand would grab two Shurikens as he would throw both of them at the same time, but in a way that the first one hid the second one. As he did that, his hands started to make hand seals as his eyes followed the direction of where Kinosabe might go or what he might do. Three seals and his mouth would open releasing water from his mouth as it moved towards his left hand to form a whip. The Uchiha knew the length of his whip, and from there he would run to his right as he was closing the distance between them. When he was at eight meters, the Genin would swing his whip straight towards Kinosabe as he would attempt to smack with the power behind his whip as it could extend up to ten meters

WC: 356 TWC: 929

Calculations:

It wasn’t long after he entered the arena that his opponent arrived. ‘I thought he’d be taller…’ Kinosabe thought to himself as the kid walked over. He was slightly shorter than him, thinner build. dark blue hair and…you know he couldn’t quite pick out what colour Yuurei’s eye colour. He’s wearing a blue and red jacket, brown shorts, and bandages along most of his remaining exposed skin.

Yuurei stopped about 30 meters away from him. Kinosabe would nod to him in respect. The announcer then called the fight to start. Immediately Yuurei’s eyes turned red, as he activated his Sharingan. Kinosabe would respond by activating his Golden Eyes. Immediately after he drew a shuriken and threw it at Kinosabe before making some hand seals. Kinosabe would move 5 meters to the left, drawing a pair of shuriken and waited for Yuurei to move before throwing them both at chest height, making sure to lead them so they would intercept him at 10 meters should he continue on his current trajectory. Should he evade the shuriken and attempt to attack with the water whip, Kinosabe would wait until the whip was within 4 meters of him, form an arrow made of lightning in his left hand, and launch it at the whip before continuing to move to his left away from the whip. Should it connect, the lightning would track back along the whip the its wielder.

Yuurei would see that the young man’s eyes had turned a different color, and it was surprising to see that he was fighting another doujutsu user. When he threw his Shuriken, he could see that the kid would move to the left to avoid the shuriken, which showed that he was quick enough to move away from shurikens that he had thrown. While Yuurei was moving to the right, the gap between them continued to close and when he was ten meters away he saw the man launching two shurikens of his own towards him. He would see the incoming shurikens coming towards him and he would dodge to the left by five meters to avoid the projectiles. The Genin continued with his attack with his whip, and he saw his opponent shoot an arrow straight towards the whip.

The element lightning, and even though he would be testing out Kinosabe’s power, he wouldn’t want them to harm him. It wasn’t just that, but he could see that he was away from the whip's maximum length, so he would pull the weapon back to avoid the arrow from hitting it. Yuurei would slide on the ground as he would over to Kinosabe as he within eight meters from him. Shit I didn’t think he would use lightning. That could have either canceled out my whip or deal some damage to me.” He thought to himself as he was hoping that he would be able to obtain such an element to do combos with.

The whip would disperse though as his right hand would reach out for his katana as he was getting ready to use what he was truly good at. Yuurei would run at full speed as he would plant his feet when he was 2 meters away from Kinosabe. His katana was out at this point as he would try and slash the man with his weapon downward. The motion of his speed was much faster than his maximum speed and power as he had decided to try and get a hit on Kinosabe. When the blade had made its way down he would be ready to bring right up as his eyes were kept on his target and his movements.

His action had the desired effect; Yuurei released his whip, so no more long range to deal with. On the other hand though, the Uchiha had drawn a Katana. Not something the young Akari was equipped for dealing with. ‘Need to ruin his movement and let me get the initiative.’ He thought to himself as he drew another pair of Shuriken. He threw these ones at the oncoming Uchiha who, was four meters away. One aimed for his legs, the other for his torso, before drawing a kunai with his right hand and following them in.

He would charge in on an angle, his kunai held point downwards. He would try to close to within less than a mater so that he could attack without really needing to worry about the katana’s reach. Should he succeed, he would make two slashes, both aimed at Yuurei’s torso. One would be an diagonal slash upwards, followed by a horizontal cut across, like two parts of the letter z.

Yuurei rushed towards Kinosabe and his eyes picked up the young boy’s motion in grabbing something from the weapon pouch. Of course, he would soon see that it was two shurikens. He had done a slight nod as he was understanding what was happening. Yuurei’s right arm started moving the pommel of his katana in a circular motion as fast as he could. His right arm moving in front of him being able to create a pressurized disk that was 1 meter in diameter. The disked was currently formed towards his legs and his torso as he would deflect the incoming shurikens as they both had gone in different directions away from both ninjas.

His eyes widen when he saw Kinosabe ran over to him as he was closing the gap between them even more. The Uchiha would take a deep breath as he exhaled and his body would become more powerful and faster than it was before. Of course, the Genin wasn’t done here; no he had decided to see if this would work as it was a combination that he had thought would work on the battlefield. His eyes would come into contact with the young boy, his left hand would make hand seals even though they were for pretend as he didn't need them, but it was too confused Kinosabe to think it was real and a bunch of crows would appear surrounding him and attempting to attack the young boy before he could close the gap between them, but they weren't truly there. While this was happening, Yuurei would sneak up from his right side behind the crows that he would be seeing.

His moves faster and stronger than they were before, he was now less than a meter in front of Kinosabe. Yuurei’s arms continue to swing around in a circular motion as he would attempting to slice up Kinosabe and ending the fight. He needed to prove to himself that he was stronger and that he could become better than he was.

Yuurei’s blade started spinning in extremely quick circles, deflecting the shuriken as if they were stalks of wheat before a scythe. Kinosabe could barely keep up with it. That wasn’t the issue though. Not long after, his opponent took a deep breath in followed by a series of hand seals on his left hand. Immediately a murder of crows appeared around him flapping, raking him with their claws, and pecking at him with their beaks. He had to get rid of them. He created ten darts of fire that he would launch at the surrounding crows, which didn’t appear to have any effect. Not that it would really matter, as Kinosabe would be too distracted by the crows to notice Yuurei’s spinning blade.
One moment he was cutting at crows, the next was black. Kinosabe didn’t even notice as Yuurei’s katana sliced him into pieces. It just wasn’t the Akari’s time, and it never would be. The light faced from Kinosabe’s eyes as he died, blood spread across the arena. That’s what you get when pride takes priority over caution.

Yuurei’s blade would soon make contact against Kinosabe. The young lad was cut over and over by the young boy in front of him. Things were getting interesting as the crowd was surprised to see the little boy continue his assault without hesitating any of the blows. The Uchiha had learned that it was killed or be killed in this world. It wasn’t going to be him and his hits were clean as they continued to go through. When he saw that it was over, he would jump back a few meters from Kinosabe as the boy had been cut up into pieces as his flesh was all over the place. It wasn’t just that, but the little boy was also covered in the blood of his prey. He would pant a lot as he had his adrenaline go over the extreme as his body was filled with it.

His eyes moved towards the katana that was on his right hand and he could see that there was a lot of blood dripping from the tip of the blade. He had a smile on his face as he could see that the young boy would drop to the ground as he was dead. The crowd was quiet for a second, but when they understood what had happened, they would start screaming and cheering to their heart's content. This was the new Sunagakure, and if you didn’t want to lose your life, then you had to stay away from the Bloodworks. Yuurei would swing his blade downward to make sure that the blood that was on his blade was no longer there. He would move his arm so that his katana would enter it’s sheathe as he would take a few deep breaths as he was trying to calm himself.

Yuurei would shut down his Sharingan as he would look at everyone that was cheering him for his victory.

“That’s it, folks, it seems like we have ourselves a winner in here. Yuurei Uchiha has taken the life of Kinosabe Akari with some fancy movements from his blade. Can you believe it, folks? Both participants were young, and only one will continue on with their future. Let’s give it up to Yuurei.” He shouted through the microphone and everybody would continue to cheer.

Yuurei would start walking towards the exit of the arena, which was the gate that he had come from. There the gate would open and he would make his way towards the front where he spoke to the lady in the counter once again. There she would see that he was covered in blood, which meant that he won his fight. She would move around as she would get the bag of Ryo that he fought for. She would put on the counter and she would have a smile on her face.

“I see you made it out alive, so here is your reward Yuurei. I hope you are fine and if you need to talk to anybody, I’m here.” She said to him.

Yuurei would smile at her as he was glad that she cared about it. The Uchiha would grab the bag of Ryo that she put on the counter and he would weight it into his hand as it was hefty.

“Thank you, but I’m fine. I’m just happy I made it out of here alive. There was a thrill to the fight, but I’m going to be staying away from this until I think I’m ready for next time.” He said as he waved at her as he started walking away and out of the building.

He was heading to his house so that he could shower and such. Aoi Valt and Kinosabe Akari were people he wouldn’t forget. They had fought as equal and in the end, he had respect for both of them. Their lives would be etched into his mind as he wouldn’t forget them. They died so he could live.
