Stats and Stuff:

The finals of the Chuunin Exams were upon Hoshigakure. After the ever-so-eventful first matchups of the third round, all of Hoshigakure and all who flocked to see the Chuunin Exams were thrilled to witness the strongest Chuunin prospects in the Ninja World duel to absolute exhaustion. Each fight showcased the sheer talent of all five villages, making the inevitable "final fight" more and more anticipated as the matches progressed. In the hard-fought first matches of the third round, only four competitors came out victorious: Souji Hyuuga, Gin Akimichi, Enishi Kurosawa, and Yuuma Fujiwara. However, it seemed that Souji wouldn't attend the rest of the exams, leaving those competitors left. That was the only form of information the audience had left, forced to wait until the next and final day of the Chuunin Exams to see who would become victorious...

As the silver-haired understudy entered the arena with his Chakra Sensory activated, the boy would instantly notice something: the wind was uncharacteristically still. What a shame. Enishi was well aware that the finals were arranged so that each competitor would be sent out at different intervals so as to prevent instantaneous carnage; however, this created an inherent disadvantage to the competitor that would be sent out last as they would have less time to set up their location in the environment while being more susceptible to enemy sneak attacks. This was a battle between shinobi after all, and shinobi were notorious for killing ingenious and without any sort of honor. These thoughts scurried like electric waves throughout the Medical Genius' mind. If the wind wasn't so unusually still, then the understudy would have used the moving dust particles in the air to outline the body of enemies, visible or not. But with the wind not working in his favor today, he had to think of another solution. It was risky, but he needed to rely solely on his Chakra Sensory against sneak attacks. He entered through Wedge 4 and he wanted to get to Wedge 1, so he needed to walk forward, directly towards the small boulder in Wedge 4 to take a turn to the left. Still keeping the ten-meter version of his sensory activated, Enishi continued walking at a steady speed directly forward towards the boulder, estimating that it would take about twenty meters to get there from his position at the entrance of the arena.

With a bated breath, the understudy advanced.

Keeping his hands in his pockets as to not be suspicious to opponents, Enishi walked towards the boulder at his steady speed. It was completely silent, spare for the occasional crunching of the boy's shoes against the sand. It almost made Enishi lower his guard, considering that his sensory couldn't detect any signatures. But instantly, his world turned upside down as he reached a little below five and a half meters towards the boulder.

Latched on the boulder, was Gin Akimichi.

No, it wasn't even Gin Akimichi that instantly made Enishi's eyes widen in fear, but it was the arrow beginning to move from the crossbow that his opponent was wielding with crafty hands that made the understudy want to get away as soon as possible. But, before a single thought could come from the Medical Genius' mind, the Akimichi would form the Rat handseal at blinding speeds just as the arrow was beginning to escape from the crossbow. At that moment, the only thought that was in the boy's thoughts was fear. It wasn't some sort of insidious fear that slowly made one succumb to despair, but it was a type of fear that was sudden, instant, spontaneous. The fear instantly violated Enishi's body, ripping through him like a knife cutting butter. The fear overloaded his body that immediately, his nerves ceased. Only fear existed in Enishi. For any normal person, they would immediately succumb to insanity and take the arrow to the chest. But, even though his mind was clouded in fear, another thought came to Enishi as the arrow escaped the crossbow. 

Get the hell away.

As Gin activated the Genjutsu to paralyze the understudy while launching the arrow towards him, the very earth three by three meters for a grand total of nine square meters centered on Enishi suddenly would rise, elevating the understudy as well as everything within three meters of him, excluding Gin and the arrow which would be about 2.5 meters from the earth and 5.5 meters from Enishi the moment the earth began to rise. Even though the arrow was nearly double the speed of the earth shifting upwards, the speed of the earth rising was enough for Enishi to successfully evade the arrow. For every two meters the arrow traveled, the earth would rise a little over a meter in height which would be enough elevation for the 1.5-meter tall boy to dodge the arrow aimed at the chest; by the time the arrow traveled four meters, the earth would have traveled a little over two meters in height as well. Even when the arrow would inevibetely collide with the rising earth upon traveling 2.5 meters, the small size of the arrow would have only pierced a small hole through the Moving Earth Core - not enough to impede the structural integrity of the rising earth. It was safe to say that Enishi would be safe from Gin's arrow for the time being.

The Moving Earth Core would rise to a maximum of five meters should it not be interrupted by his opponent, leaving the understudy to have the high ground for the moment. Unfortunately, he couldn't move to form any handseals because of the fear still resonating in the Jugo, so he had barely any chance to setup attacks. All he could do now was being reactive. So for the time being, Enishi would narrow his eyes to see whether Gin had any attacks up his sleeves, ready to react to anything while having the now five-meter version of chakra sensory active due to utilizing a jutsu.

A disgusting smirk would appear on Enishi during all of this. It seemed that his opponent didn't have a single shred of honor, attacking him in complete stealth without any form of introduction. Typical of Kumogakure shinobi. Nevertheless, Enishi wasn't angered by this...but instead, a new feeling overpowered the fear lingering in the Jugo's mind.

Bloodlust.

OOC –
GG, I think? As you don’t have sensory…
Chakra Sensory -
“Owners of this skill can actively sense chakra around them, bypassing the passive route's limitations and extending their reach to 10 meters in all directions of their position. This, in turn, comes at the cost of being unable to activate/upkeep any techniques aside from boosters or utilize AP during the same post.”

So you can’t use AP in this post, thus no Earth Core, resulting in an arrow to your chest as you need to cancel the Sensory and wait one post by which time be finished off?

Edgy Music:

The fight was over before it even started. 

In an instant, the fight already ended. Despite Enishi's best efforts, he couldn't correct the fatal mistake that he made. By being too cautious, he utilized the extended version of his Chakra Sensory, allowing his opponent to debilitate and lethally strike him in one fell swoop. Chakra Sensory was a useful tool, however, it prevented any shinobi from using any jutsu in that instance; Gin might have caught on to that, so he used Enishi's technique to force the Medical Genius' in a most unfavorable situation. Even when forcing his body to use Moving Earth Core while counteracting the fear rising in him, it was no use for Enishi. 

There are holes you can't climb yourself out of. 

That was the harsh lesson the young Jugo learned today. Realizing that his Moving Earth Core couldn't be used because of a mistake he made mere minutes ago, a hardened expression appeared on the boy's visage as he looked on towards the arrow barbed with poison, inches away from striking him. "Endure it." Enishi solemnly thought, resigning himself to both mental and physical anguish. With resolve, he grit his teeth and sunk his feet against the sand, not shying away from the pain that would ensue. At that moment, the arrow collided against the chest of the understudy, tearing away flesh and bone as if they were shrapnel. The vibrations of ripping metal and slushing poison echoed throughout Enishi's body, infiltrating his pale ears like a demented melody.  The projectile punctured organs and flesh alike, indiscriminately slicing through Enishi's center mass until it reached the spinal area where it would rest and inject the insidious poison inside of the understudy. The sheer power of the bolt pushed the Jugo back a few feet, nearly sending him flying to the ground from its impact force. But...by sheer force of will, Enishi held on.

Blood dripped down the mouth of the expressionless Enishi. This sort of pain wasn't unusual to him, hell, the headaches from going berserk were at least ten times the pain of the arrow...yet the cold feeling of a foreign object puncturing through organs and liquid paralyzing the body was nigh unbearable. "So this is what death feels like..." The Medical Genius' mused for a moment, trying to ignore the blizzard-like frigidness from within. It wouldn't take long before another layer of paralysis binded the boy's body, further digging the insurmountable hole he was stuck in. Soon blood filled his entire mouth, forcing him to spit out an ounce of blood to the ground in ire. Even if he lost, he wouldn't let his opponent walk all over him - as he represented Hoshigakure; that was the pride that lingered in Enishi Kurosawa. 

“Surrender.” Was the sole word that escaped the Kumogakure Genin. The word struck Enishi like another arrow. It wasn't cruel nor kind, neither soft nor rigid. It simply was the truth. Enishi Kurosawa, Hoshigakure's final Genin in the Chuunin Exams had failed in the final match of the Chuunin Exams. So close to taste victory, yet so far away to grasp it. Everything that he had been training towards for the past months was all for nothing. His pride, his resolve, and the reason he wanted to be a shinobi in the first place shattered. He thought he could rival his peers, but no, he was so unbearably weak that he lost in the final round. Struggling to swallow the pill of truth, Enishi would chuckle darkly - well it was more comparable to a gargle due to the amount of blood in his ruptured esophagus. "I thought I could rival my peers and bring glory to Hoshigakure... But no, it was arrogant to assume that I'm even in the same league as them." Dejected, the silver-haired boy's emerald eyes would rise to meet the Akimichi, struggling to regain consciousness from the amount of blood he was losing as well as the paralysis poison wrangling out his nerves. However, two words came out of him with lingering fire left in his tone.

"I surrender."

Enishi's body fell to the ground, his legs unable to sustain his weight anymore. "Congratulations, you're the strongest Genin in the world." The Medical Genius said with finality, a sense of respect in his voice. The Jugo's vision soon blurred and darkened, unable to see anything else as the understudy drifted to a comatose state. Everyone was probably extremely disappointed in him, and rightfully so. He failed at the biggest stage and was unable to usher glory to his village. Such an underperformance was disgraceful. Even if he was a finalist in the exams, there was no solace in taking second place - absolutely none.

After all, second place is just the first loser.
