Fu vs Enishi [Observation Thread]

[AkaboshiNova Captain]

The dragonpit, a location more than fitting for the Dragonrider of Haven. The vast, cavernous building that sat atop the Hill of Burning Trees in the City of Stars held a name that appealed to the Nova Commander quite a bit. Once a home for magical beasts, ones he was now able to bond with and mount. Together they would spread their red, majestic wings, taking flight as they soared through the sky. A dragon would cry, not out of fear or pain, but rather from joy. Akaboshi was one of the first to arrive, landing from above after taking in the view of the Tournament.

For now the Red Nova had decided on Arena 5, a fight that would take place between Fu and Enishi Kurosawa. "Let's see how far you've come" Akaboshi voiced out loud, keeping his former student in mind. It seemed like it was only yesterday that the Captain welcomed the lost son back to Hoshigakure. It would be interesting to see how much the boy had grown, even more so considering his opponent was not to be underestimated. After all, the kunoichi known as Fu was one who contributed a great deal during the most recent assault on Hoshigakure, already having proved her worth to the village. 

He would inspect the arena from his position at the stands, noticing how the environment resembled a swamp with trails of mud running through the area and a large forested area starting at the edges and spreading out 10m, leaving an open spot in the center with a 15m radius which was covered by tall grass reaching up to 2 meters in height. "Let's see if and how they'll use the surroundings to their advantage". By then Enishi was the first to enter the stage, setting foot onto the battlegrounds as now the only thing left for him to do was to wait for his opponent to show up.

“One of the defenders of Hoshigakure is going to make a debut here it seems…this should be a good chance to see what they have hidden up their sleeves.” He said as he took a seat and crossed his arms as he watched the fighters enter the arena. He noted the size of the area and smiled to himself because he was excited for those that favor close quarters combat…”This will work in my favor if I am faster than others… or can at least back them into a corner. The name of the game is making a name for myself even if I do not win. However, I did not show up with the intention to lose either.” He thought to himself as he did not have much to go on just yet, but he did have other matches to observe during the day until it was time for him to of course go in and show his cards.

[Atarashi HiyuCitizen]

“I’m not entirely sure if that’s fair, or not, Nova Commander.” The voice of the Gravedigger would manifest to the right of the Uchiha. Atarashi, catching an eye-full of the one, Enishi. He looked to show some promise, a strong nominee for the running to become a member of Nova. Those grey eyes of the retired Nova would lazily wait on the boy, before long drifting off to find the woman - newcomer to the village. She showed heart and promise on the battlefield during the invariant, kept a level head and took to the commands given. She was also a strong candidate for the cloak. “Indirectly boosting the morale of one combatant over the other. You’re suppose to remain unbiased in these festivities. Kyokokoko.”

Though, he understood how the young Uchiha might have felt, without assuming as much. One  mentor to another, he couldn’t help but to feel a sense of pride towards the progression of their disciple. Even if that disciple was not official. Should it be Ryumi, Atarashi would have held the same hint of favoritism. But, she wasn’t, so one could never know what the Nova Founder would have done.

[Akabayashi TerumiMizukage Survived 2021 You've completed the Christmas Event of 2021 and qualified for the last reward, by partisan you are awarded this fancy badge!]

The fight was interesting enough, but presently something was on the Doctor's mind. Fu possessed what looked like the eye Kizmaru sought and found. An eye practically confirmed to be an evolved Sharingan. Activating his own EMS he attempted to get a good look at the rings within to confirm this one as the same in his drawing.  He could see them clearly all six thin black rings within the eyes. He would have to ask Fu about how she had evolved her Sharingan.

So far the Doctor had met four people with these eyes one of them being Kizmaru who initially gave him the task of searching for it. The first person he met with the six ringed eye was Taichi Uchiha who all, but confirmed his Sharingan had changed. He said it was caused by prayer and faith he was the one who taught Akabayashi wood release and was the Nova's best information source thus far.

The second was Stein a heart eater like the Terumi once was. His eyes were seen during the attack he started attempting to kill Hoshi's council. Whilst the Terumi agreed with their deaths he would have attempted some nuance like hiring people to kill them. Unfortunately, he didn't get any information from Stein as he died a rather quick death along with his daughter. They were almost helpless even with his reputation. The man's reputation surely proceeded him, but was full of falsehoods as a demon.

The third was Kizmaru himself who attempted to barrel through the village atop a giant wooden Buddha. His eyes were almost guaranteed to be sharingan as when they met he was suffering from overuse of the basic mangekyou and was given the method for a cure. The man then returned with his purple ringed eyes along with some friends and had died just before this Nova tournament started.

Lastly, there was Fu her purple eyes focused on Enishi as they both conjured up the great hero and villain of Hoshi's last attack the Kanzeon Lotus King, the massive wooden man loaded with arms and heads.

Wood... It was becoming a pattern now maybe wood was an ingredient in unlocking this eyes power. First Taichi, then Kizmaru, and now Fu. If Akabayashi had to guess Stein also possessed wood released and he'd put money on that. The only reason the doctor wouldn't say it was a final ingredient is because he himself had Sharingan and Wood Release, but his eyes had not yet changed. He did believe however he was one step closer to solving the mystery.

[Hikari NamikazeCitizen]

Having arrived a little bit late to the contest due to grabbing lunch, Hikari Namikaze power walked out of the entrance and into her seats. Activating her byakugan underneath her normal contact, the Akari would look around for a second to try to find a seat before.... Wh... what? 

Giant Monsters nearly the size of a bijuu was fighting it out in the ring. Never had the Kunoichi seen chakra constructs made by humans be so big before! She had read about them to some degree in Lord First notes on the matter, but reading about and seeing something this big was two completely separate things.

The Kunoichi would slowly stumble over to a spare seat, not taking her eyes of the battle going on in the arena.

With the battle over Akabayashi would take his new insights and exit the arena. There were questions he had, but they would have to come in time. Fu had just suffered a loss and it wouldn't be appropriate to start asking random questions.
