POV Change to Jamie
You take slow deep breaths as you stare at Temari, one of the strongest kunochis the Sand had ever seen. Today you were going to prove to her, to your mom, to the Kazekage, and to everyone else in the world that you were just as strong if not better a kunochi then Temari was. Plus the training you had done over the past month had definitely aided you as well. The proctor says begin as he shunshins away and Temari already jumps back several feet as she opens up her giant fan
"You should just quit now and save your energy for what's to come in the future," Temari says looking at your lazily
"In your dreams. I'm here for a real fight and you should do the same," you say
"Hmph we'll see if you're worth a real fight," Temari says arrogantly
You know she's a stronger long range fighter than you are so you quickly run at her and do a sleight of hand seals for your opening jutsu. You launch a decent size fireball at Temari which she just swings her fan and sends flying off into the sky. She quickly reels back and uses her Kamatachi no Jutsu which sends a powerful gust of wind in your direction.
You quickly perform several hand seals and use Roaring Flame to protect yourself. You can't tell if Temari's attacks are fuuton based by Roaring Flame did manage to do the trick to protect you from Temari's jutsu. When your flames subside you see Temari charging at you, her fan folded and aiming to swing at you. You quickly jump back as she slams the fan against the ground. You quickly throw a kunai and manage to cut her in the shoulder. This buys you a distraction as you do several hand seals and perform one of your new jutsu. "Fuuton: Cyclone Fist."
As your arms become enveloped in wind you quickly throw a punch hitting Temari square in the face. With your other hand you pull back and draw a kunai and manage to cut her cheek before she swings her giant fan, hitting you in the side. The sheer power of the fan sends you flying several feet away and gasping for air. If Temari had actually had time for a full power swing with that thing she could've definitely broken some ribs. You try to get to your feet but it's to late, a huge blast of wind hits you cutting you all over your body and sending you backwards until you crash into the arena wall
"Face it girly you're no match for me. Kamatachi no Jutsu!" Temari swings the fan again and the powerful wind slams against you. She does the jutsu one more time except this time you manage to shunshin away just in the nick of time. You're several feet away from Temari and she's already pulling her fan back to use her Kamatachi again

"Katon: Roaring Flame!" you say quickly finishing the hand seals to defend yourself from the Kamatachi. Thanks to your good chakra control you quickly prepare another set of hand seals for your counterattack. As soon as Temari's attack ends you quickly launch a Grand Fireball, catching Temari off guard and hitting her head on.
With Temari's guard broken you quickly shunshin over to her. You quickly do a three hit punch combo before finishing by punching Temari square in the chest and releasing your Cyclone Fist on her a that moment. The Sand kunochi was propelled through the stadium as you prepare another sleight of hand seals and launch a fireball at Temari. You hear a strange sound and suddenly see Temari's fan swinging and your fireball coming straight back at you. You try to dodge but the fireball hits you and knocks you to the ground
"Kamatachi no Jutsu!" The blast of wind sent you rolling across the ground. You quickly jump to your feet in time for Temari to swing her close fan at you. The only thing you can do is raise your arm to try and protect your face and body from the full force of the blow. The fan knocks you to the ground and your arm is in extreme pain from the blow. Looking up you see Temari raising the bow above her head ready to slam it down on you
You quickly reach into your ninja pouch with your hurt hand and use your good hand to move your body on the ground in a spinning move. Using your feet you knock Temari off her balance and stab her in the thigh. Temari kneels over and you quickly uppercut her in the jaw before slugging her in the forehead. Temari falls backwards before swinging her fan one last time and knocking you several feet away
You spit up a little blood as you try to get up. It feels like the bone of your left forearm and maybe some of your ribs might be bruised and you have several cuts all over your body from the constant barrage of Tamakachis. If anything this fight's taking it's toll on you more physically then anything else, if anything you've got to end this fight before Temari can't do much more damage. Looking at her as she pulls your kunai out of her thigh she looks to be wearing down fast
Temari slowly gets to her feet and opens her fan up, sticking it on the ground in front of you. Is she prepping some jutsu or trying something else?

Ice, remember she did this during the exams last time? She was prepping a bunshin. I think that we should go for penetration here. We could use wind enhancement and throw some kunai through the fan? Or... Reluctantly, we could go for a bigger jutsu... perhaps Flame Dragon Devastation? Just overpower the fan?

Post by kieo on Feb 13, 2011 1:59:24 GMT
You quickly do several hand seals for Wind Enhancement and add them to your kunais and throwing them at Temari's fans with as much force as you can. The three kunais puncture the fan and you hear Temari groaning in pain. You quickly run at Temari whose pulling her fan out of the ground. "Kamatachi no Jutsu!" You look at Temari who isn't swinging her fan before a huge blast of wind hits you from behind and sends you towards Temari
"Simplest trick in the book," Temari says closing her fan, pulling it back, then swinging it, hitting you and sending you flying through the air. You roll on the ground in extreme pain almost wondering if you should get up and continue fighting or juts throw the match from all the pain you're in, that fan and those cutting blades hurt like hell! As you slowly get up you look over and see Temari standing from where she was and another Temari behind where you were. "Figured it out yet?"
"You created a kage bushin behind that fan and sent it down the hole behind you and had it go to the hole behind me and sneak up on me," you say getting up and grabbing more wind enhanced kunais, "Smart." Before the kage bushin could react you quickly throw two of them and pierce it, causing it to disappear. You quickly spin and throw two more at Temari. She manages to block one with her fan but the other managed to scrape her unwounded leg
Temari falls to a knee grabbing her bleeding thigh. You've got to get to work fast so you quickly perform a one of the longer sleight of hand seals you have. You inhale deeply as you finish the seals. "Katon: Flame Dragon Ascension!" You exclaim exhaling the long breath which proceeded to create the giant fire dragon which launched at Temari. Temari quickly swung her fan while she spun and launched herself in the air. She quickly hopped on the fan and began to ride it above the arena
"That won't work!" you say directing the dragon up at her it's mouth spreading wide open to engulf Temari
"No your attack is what won't work. Rapid Kamatachi no Jutsu!" Temari yells as she gets off her fan and begins swinging it rapidly. Huge blades of wind shot from her fan as the powerful winds seemed to diminish your jutsu, sending the flames in different directions. Even then your dragon continued to move to her until Temari quickly swung at it last minute hitting the dragon on the head and knocking it at the crowd below
Taking several deep breaths you redirect the dragon last minute sending it back towards Temari, who had landed at the ground by now. Temari was in a corner now pulling her fan back as the dragon made its way towards her. Temari quickly swung the blade last minute causing a huge blast of wind redirecting all of the dragon's flames straight back in the rest of the arena and straight at you. Your eyes open wide as your second strongest technique is broken into nothing but a huge flame which is coming back your way
You try doing the hand seals for Spherical Defense but you don't have time as the flames come roaring at you. They hit as you almost complete the seals for the jutsu and the flames hit you head on knocking you to the ground in extreme pain. The combination of the flames which are enhanced by the wind hurts so much it makes you want to forfeit, but you know you can't. When the attack ceases you slowly get up and examine yourself, you've got a couple burns but mainly just scratches, some pretty deep compared to others. Looking around you see that the battlefield of the arena is pretty charred up as well with most of the leaves on teh trees near you burned off, your jutsu's pretty powerful but a bitch when it gets turned on you
Temari was standing on the opposite side of the arena leaning on her fan, panting. She must be just as exhausted as you are. You reach into your pouch, slowly, and draw out four more wind enhanced kunais. You run forward as fast as you can, in your current condition, and throw them at Temari who seems to be ready to fight again. "Kamatachi no Jutsu!" she says swinging her fan and sending the kunais in different directions, one coming right back at you. You sidestep, which is frankly all you can do at this point due to exhaustion, the kunai passes you and just cuts your thigh
You look back to Temari whose riding her fan over the battlefield wind visibly forming around her. "I'll tell you this much you did manage to push me to the point where I'm actually wanting to fight you full force, so I'll give you that much. But this will end here as I don't plan to use or need to use another jutsu after this," Temari says from above as wind begins to surround her

Post by kieo on Feb 13, 2011 3:21:26 GMT
You take deep breaths as more wind begins to gather around Temari. It's about time you showed off your brand new trump. "Bring it Temari!" you exclaim performing a long sleight of hand seals. You take in a big breath as you stick both arms out and begin to spin them in small circles, wind gathering around them as you continued to spin them. Temari quickly began to spin in a circle up above wind forming around her and the giant fan in the air
You clap your hands together in front of your face, raising your index finger and middle finger on both hands. "Nova Release: Flame Dragon Devastation!" you exclaim breathing out the long breath you took into your fingers. The wind that was wrapped around your arms wrapped around the giant flame dragon that was forming. Not only was the dragon much bigger it had wind wrapping around it which increased the intensity of the flames. You continued to exhale your breath into the winds covering your arms until the dragon couldn't grow anymore
"Ha that's just the same move as before! Kamatachi Hurricane no Jutsu!" Temari says as she lands on the ground, stops spinning, and swinging her fan. Your dragon quickly charged at Temari. The winds she launched formed several small tornadoes which rammed into your dragon and began to make it lose ground. You began to concentrate harder and harder until finally the dragon began to wrap around Temari as the tornadoes continued to attack it
Even with your dragon the powerful winds were hitting you and doing incredible damage as you raised your right arm with your index and middle finger up. "Explode!" you say before a powerful blade of wind knocks you off your feet just as your entire dragon explodes into a huge wave of fire which engulfs the fighting area and almost leaps up to the spectators in the stadium. The power of the flames even hit you but it's definitely stronger
The power of the flames and wind picked up a ton of dust and when you finally rose to your feet it was hard to see what had become of Temari. Even if you still have some chakra left you're physically exhausted and probably couldn't fight anymore if your life depended on it. The dust finally settled and you saw Temari's giant fan open, stuck in the ground like it had been when Temari created teh bushin earlier, except this time Temari's supporting herself on the fan
You draw a kunai and slowly walk over and before you attack the giant fan falls over and with it, Temari. You pant slowly as you look at her lying there, unconscious, before you. You begin to chuckle a little to yourself, you did it, you really did it. The proctor shunshins next to you and checks Temari's vitals. He grabs your wrist, your bad wrist at that, and raises it up in the air. "The winner Jamie Hislan by knockout!" he exclaims as the crowd cheers. In the stadium you see your mom cheering vigorously and Jagar several feet away clapping with a wide grin on his face. Looking to the contestant standby area you see Ray and Axel cheering as well as that Naruto kid. It also adds to the victory by seeing the look on Kankuro's face
You put your kunai away and make your way back to the standby zone...
POV Return
When Jamie finally comes back up you and Axel congratulate her. "You should go to the medical bay especially with stuff going on later," you say seeing the medics taking Temari away
"But I want to see your fight Ray and Axel's too," Jamie says looking like a mess
"They have a TV in the medical bay so you can watch," Kankuro says glaring at Jamie, "I hope you didn't ruin how things are supposed to go today."
"What do you mean how things are supposed to go?" Naruto speaks up, jumping between your group and Gaara's group
"Um well the three of us are siblings and we intended to see who was the better one of us by having the three of us keep advancing," Kankuro says quickly
"Ah well looks like that won't happen since the fan girl got beat and Sasuke's gonna beat Gaara," Naruto says
"We'll see about that," Kankuro says as Gaara remains quiet by his side
"Hey you're name's Ray right? Good luck today Shikamaru's a tricky fight. Do your best," Naruto says with a pat on your back
"Ha I will who knows we may fight in the finals," you say as you jump from the platform
"Maybe," Naruto calls back as you see Jamie quickly go to the medical bay with Axel escorting her
You slowly make your way to center stage and look at everyone in the stadium. It was definitely more intimidating now that there was only you and Shikamaru in here, you were sure that everyone was looking at you and him not the eight other contestants. On top of that you had no flashy moves like Temari and Jamie so your battle may be a little less entertaining, especially since you think Shikamaru doesn't have many flashy moves either. In fact many of the spectators probably wouldn't even know what you were doing since most of your style comprised of genjutsu. Though you could aways summon Ragaltoise even if he might freak out and end up killing you for "summoning him on something as insignificant as this".
The proctor stands between you and Shikamaru. "Begin!" the proctor says before shunshining away. Shikamaru slowly runs his hands through his hair and jumps back several feet
"Let's get this over with already," Shikamaru says pulling some shuriken out of his ninja pouch and throwing them at you

Ice, why don't we use stasis hold on his arms, to prevent him from forming seals, and eye twist at the same time (to throw off his depth perception)? We could go in, throw a few punches and kicks, or maybe some sealing jutsu on his arms to prevent him forming seals.
Your argument makes sense, Ice. Ice's vote

We could do that but-
1. I wanted to make sure we got another body in so it would be harder for him to shadow manipulate to victory because it would be damn near impossible to control two bodies with his crap stamina. 2. We do something he didn't plan for by summoning. 3. By summoning we keep pressuring shika and not giving him time to think of a good plan. 4. He knows about lockdown and has probably prepared for it (maybe get hinata's help). 5. He knows we're genjutsu specialists so he can train a genjutsu defense. 6. I want to save multiple jutsus at a time for later, if we use it now he can plan against it later. Same with eye-twist somewhat (since we can change the perception)
Anyway I'm off to bed, we can talk more about this tommorrow if you want.

Shikamaru continues to jump back until he's in the shadow cast by the walls of the stadium. He does several hand seals and a his shadow quickly extends forth towards you. You quickly shunshin to the side, away from his extending shadow. When you stop moving you bite your thumb and do several hand seals then press your hand to the ground. "Summoning Jutsu: Blastoise!" you say as the large turtle appeared before you
"You called?" Blastoise said in his low sluggish tone
"Yeah I need help fighting that one guy over there," you say pointing to Shikamaru whose doing a weird hand seal that you never saw before
"Ehh fine why not, at least you didn't summon the Chief he would've been pissed," Blastoise says as his cannons came out of his shell
"I know better by now," you say jumping on Blastoise's back and making sure your shadow is only on Blastoies
"Let's go, Suiton: Hyrdo Pump!" Blastoise says shooting a huge amount of pressurized at Shikamaru
Shikamaru quickly backflipped, and began to walk up the wall of the stadium as Blastoise chased him with his Hydro Pump. Shikamaru quickly threw several kunais as Blastoise which just seemed to bounce off his shell before you noticed the pieces of paper on them. "Blastoise their explosive tags!" you say as they explode launching you off Blastoise and knocking the giant turtle on his back. You quickly jump up to see Shikamaru run up and get on top of Blastoise
"Yo Ray I could get up if this kid wasn't on me. Help me out would ya?!" Blastoise said trying to move
"To bad you're trapped in my shadow possession jutsu, you only move how I want you to," Shikamaru said jumping off Blastoise, causing the turtle to get on his feet, "Go get him." Shikamaru runs in place causing Blastoise to charge at you, pulling back for a punch

Stasis hold (Shika's right arm) + Stasis hold (Shika's left leg) (375 - 40 = 335) > Shunshin at Shika (335 - 5 = 330) > Jutsu Fake (Snap Fingers) + Lie Sensor Zone (330 - 10 = 320)
This will stop Shika and Blastoise at the same time. Plus provide an opening to attack Shika. In addition, Blastoise will have to be released from the jutsu if Shika manages to get out early, and help us out. My biggest con is that he has better genjutsu defense.
EDIT: Impatience gave me the idea that LSZ would be good for seeing how Shika's jutsu works. I think this would be a good time to see how LSZ could help us in this battle.

Dual stasis hold (one for shika's arms and one for shika's legs) + shunshin to shika's side so that shika's body blocks blastoise's path towards you (but shunshin to shika's back) + summon ragtle and tell him to jump on shika's back and hold shika's arms to his sides (or if ragtle is not big enough to do that just grab on to to shika's neck)+ (if shika is still stuck in stasis hold, put a sharpen on shika)
We use shika himself to defend against blastoise. If we can get ragtle on shika's back it would be difficult for him to control blastoise while he is struggling with ragtle. And fighting shika with controlled blastoise is like fighting 1.5 people because it's difficult to control blastoise how he wants if he's engaged in taijutsu. We can also make blastoise ineffective by eye twisting shika later.
I only half anticipated shika controlling a turtle, not quite this quickly. But that's why I had blastoise summoned first because it's harder/more chakra intensive to control a bigger, higher level turtle.

Oh and I don't like the shock therapy strategy because it frees up shika and blastoise afterwards with the pain. If you give Kieo the opportunity to troll us by having a taijutsu battle with shika and blastoise at the same time, he's gonna take it

Ice, we can only perform stasis hold on one appendage at a time. No offense, but your vote is a little too complicated to perform smoothly. We can only do so much at one time with limited success, since Kieo is gonna make this a difficult battle.
In addition, Kieo said that summoning this early was a bad idea. I'm not submitting my vote.

Post by iceisnice on Feb 13, 2011 17:41:07 GMT
no, one stasis hold works on either both arms or both legs. That's why when we used it on Dosu before, he could not raise EITHER arm to attack with sound cannon. And when we engaged him later, he was forced to kick us. So if you use two stasis holds at a time, you can get both arms and legs. The plan is not too complicated if stasis hold works.
Kieo and I disagree on whether summoning early was a bad move. It was not a great move but I think it was the best move especially considering Shika has seen almost everything else. Under any circumstances, you don't want to be caught in shika's shadow manipulation with nothing else out. I'd rather take my chances fighting both blastoise and shika, with shika's stamina constantly being drained.

Post by vegeta on Feb 13, 2011 17:55:44 GMT
That's not what Kieo told me when I talked to him last night, regarding Stasis hold. He told me that if we did a dual stasis hold, we could do two arms, two legs, or one arm and one leg.
We could do both arms, which would stop the punch, but it wouldn't stop the forward momentum of blastoise. If we halted both legs, we'd stop momentum AND the punch, BUT Shika can still perform ninjutsu. If we halted Shika's right arm, we take away the punch, and if we halted his left leg, which, in martial arts, is the leg you push off with to punch, even with running, we'd stop forward momentum, AND we'd give ourselves an opening to attack Shika, since that's our target. We shunshin towards him, and jutsu fake him thinking we put him under a sound genjutsu and at the same time perform shock therapy. His focus will then be on us instead of Blastoise. Which still gives us the advantage.

'You quickly perform several hand seals and use your new jutsu Stasis Hold on Dosu's arms. He tries to move them for another attack but can't, now's your chance. You shunshin next to Dosu and perform even more hand seals. You stick out your index and middle fingers in an attempt to seal Dosu's arm. You barely touch them before Dosu quickly moves to the side and kicks you across the face.'
That's part of the reason why I took dual jutsus, now your telling me the info was wrong, crap.....

Stasis Hold (20) Supplementary; Close-Medium Range; Rank D Manipulates opponent's chakra through eye contact or touch cutting the flow of chakra and ceasing neuron function in the arms or legs. Temporarily paralyzes enemies in the designated limb leaving room for great openings
Also ice your vote is a little to complex you need to tone it down by a move or two or it's sure to fail, just saying
