Chunin Exam: Grey vs Miyuki

==​Chunin Exam: Grey vs Miyuki==
 
 
Miyuki: The sun barely started to peak through the trees as a soft light started to fall upon konoha. The clouds in the sky painting a beautiful landscape of oranges and yellows due to the sun reflecting off of them, reminiscent of fire, appropriate for such a place as konoha. Among the residints whom were rising with the sun was Miyuki. She slowly opened her off-white eyes and looked up at her ceiling, her normal rush for the day not needed considering the exams started about mid-day so that most-everyone would be able to attend to watch the fights of the exams. Miyuki sighed softly, after the written exams, she was informed that she was going to be pushed forward. This would normally be something that would cause her a lot of happiness, but she knew, due to the odds, that she was probably going to end up fighting one of her squad members. With that in mind, she also knew she couldn't hold back, but she also didn't want to hurt them. On top of this, there was the fact that if she beat them, they might not become a chunin, and visa versa. The bit of inner turmoil caused her to tear up a little bit as she sat there in bed thinking about things. Shaking her head slightly she placed her feet on the cool wooden floors and started to walk towards her closet, taking off her over-sized t-shirt she had fallen a sleep in last night only to grab her standard mesh undersuit and her wrap around yakata that was fastened with a large, velvet, purple ribbon. Holding that in her hands, she walked over to the shower and turned it on, letting the cool water wash away her negative thoughts as she focused on what was ahead of her, her long bluish-black hair out of the typical pigtails and hanging down on her back, almost all the way down to her butt. After the shower, she stepped out, dried off, and slipped on her clothes, leaving her hair in a ponytail rather than the pigtails to make it easier to dry the rest of the way. Once that was done, she grabbed her tools from her room and an ate a quick breakfast. As she was leaving, she looked to her sister's room, nodding slightly due to one of her thoughts, as she walked out the door towards the arena. On arrival she had made it in time for the beginning rhetoric and the cheering crowds, hearing her name called, and then the name of, of course, her squad member, Grey Shirogane, she frowned slightly before jumping from the stands and down on to the field, awaiting her match with her squad member and friend, one that would determine their futures, and set the pathway to their dreams.
 
 
Grey: {GS} Oh what a joyous and exciting day for the interpid and quirky life of Grey Shirogane. Today was going to be the day that he possibly made chunin! You know that was all the excitement that Grey needed to hurry himself out of bed in the morning and throw off his pajamas and get into his black open-toed ninja tabi, black and patched pants with kunai pockets on the side. Half-way through getting dressed, Grey looked out the window and thought about all the possible candidates for the chunin exam this year. There were so many, but less than twenty had made it to these finals. There was the chance that all, a few, one or none of the candidates would become chunin. That was just all the more motivation Grey needed to show off his stuff today. He slipped on his best short sleeved shirt with his clan's symbol on it, sliding on some detached argyle monochromatic sleeves. He hooked his red-tooth beast necklace around his neck, clutching it for good luck. Rather than grab something else to cover his neck like he normally did, Grey decided to leave his neck uncovered today and put his Konohagakure headband ON his head for once. As soon as he was all dressed, he left his room, grabbing his pouches of explosive tags and shuriken, fastening them in opposite locations on the back of his pants today, thinking a change in attire and attitude would do him good. He got his eight kunai and slipped them into the pockets on the sides of his pants, making his way toward the weapons closet to pick up the weapon that earned him the nickname of 'Stitch', and that was the weapon Kagidzume. Slipping on the gloves and finger coverings of his weapon, Grey fastened the spool of wire last to the spot between his weapons pouches. He was all ready for the chunin exam final portion now, the fight of his life with a crowd that would be watching. Thankfully there was an ANBU level escort waiting to guide him to the arena as his sense of direction was pretty well known, but so was his skill as a shinobi already, especially by the ANBU division. [Are you ready today Stitch?] Asked the bird-masked ANBU member, to which Grey replied, "I am gonna ace this and be a step closer to becoming a sannin." Once he arrived at the arena, Grey made his way through the crowds to a seat and the moment his name was called, Grey leapt down into the arena, landing and kicking up a little bit of dust. His opponent would be his own teammate, Miyuki, "Oh hey Miyuki! May the best guy have victory right?" Grey asked as he prepared for his teammate, he knew that she was a tajutsu specialist and a Hyuuga, subterfuge and long ranged attacks could be deflected. So Grey thought about what to do while spreading his arms out wide, cascading ten individual wires out from his spool and around his immediate location within two feet of himself in two layers, five to two feet and five to one foot. He was already plucking and finagling with his hands and fingers to prepare for Miyuki, slipping one wire into the pouch with his shuriken, looping four of them with the wire in preparations for a rush from his teammate. If there was a rush attack by Miyuki, Grey would throw the shuriken and follow up by jerking the wire they are on to circle around Miyuki and try to flank her from both sides with his Manipulated Shurikenjutsu Technique. {GS}
 
 
​Miyuki: Miyuki lightened her spirits, though it was in a false manner, as she was setting herself into the mindset for combat, even against her squad member. The good thing about this is that she knew what he used. He used wires strung through a special apparatus on his hands that were used to take the form of weapons and to manipulate his different ninja tools. Hearing his comment about may the best guy win she smirked slightly, "Or girl." With that statement she also activated her Byakugan, which was only fair as her squad member started to weave his wires from the start. Watching his movements carefully, she noticed a defensive like stance, he was anticipating an attack, with that in mind she swiftly reached in to her pouch and grabbed three kunai, throwing them at three different points in the body, going for the joints in both shoulders as to disable arm movement and a divirsionary kunai aimed for the middle of the body. If they seemed to be a sufficient distraction, she would use her body flicker technique to hide within one of the trees in the arena to get a better vantage point and have more time to formulate a full strategy, if they were not, she would start building chakra to use Wind Release: Great Breakthrough to supplement a forward attack, the technique being a way to guard herself from the wires in a means to blow them backwards, or at least shift them off course in hopes to leave an opening. 
 
 
Grey: {GS} While Miyuki did not rush in to fight him hand to hand, Grey quickly reciprocated by throwing his shuriken regardless while simoultaneously manuvering his left arm to the sides and up, clenching his hand in the meantime to pump chakra through to his wires and solidify into a set of rhombus shaped shields to deflect those kunai. His shuriken neared Miyuki but with a tug backwards of the right arm, Grey's shuriken looped around the side and behind Miyuki, or at least they would have were it not for that Great Breakthrough technique of hers. He shielded his mouth and nose from the wind and dust, correcting the trajectory of his shuriken line to try and pincer her from above and the side with a single wire holding the four shuriken, or two now as it were. Grey had pulled the wire back enough so that with the swing of the wire and it being pulled back, the two released shuriken spun like they were wound up tops, seeking to strike Miyuki from above. Grey's wires by his person were pushed backwards from the Great Breakthrough, he corrected for this by letting the wires cling to his body for now and leaving some space behind himself, ready to use Woven Armor if Miyuki finally decided to attack him. {GS}
 
 
​Miyuki: Miyuki watched as the wires were coming around, her byakugan tracking every movement of each wire, nothing was going to escape her view at this point. She used the dust cloud created by her Great Breakthrough technique to body-flicker out of the situation and directly behind Grey in a gentle fist position, she was prepared to use Eight Trigrams: 32 palm, yet in the event he were to somehow sense her behind him, she would instead use the built chakra to form pure chakra knives on her hands, ready to cut through incoming wire, and also towards her squad member. Her intentions were to disable his arms, as this would competely render him unable to use his main technique, which was something she not only hoped to do for herself, but for him as to open his eyes to the large problem with his technique that he would hopefully later adapt to.
 
 
Grey: {GS} After the dust had cleared, Grey was left with no signs of Miyuki. Either she was in the trees or somewhere behind him. Knowing how a Hyuuga though, it would likely be an attack of some sort to disable him and stop the fight quickly. Grey felt himself getting struck in the back suddenly. At least he was right about her being behind him. Rather than trying to defend himself, Grey stumbled forward, feeling a little numb from wherever it was that Miyuki had struck him. Hopefully he would still be able to fight and now he knew what her game was. With the chanting of her name with a mixture of his nickname, Grey smiled and attempted to form his two separate handseals, crossing his arms over his chest and layering his wires over his stomach and chest, leaving small room in between the two for breathing and contortion, around his arms however, the wires were woven extra thick like boxing gloves, leaden with chakra and ready to punch something straight in the mouth, that was if Miyuki hadn't absolutely screwed Grey's ambulatory system over. {GS}
 
 
​Miyuki: The first two hits were a success, though a sneak attack was perfect for hitting him, sadly, it wasn't going to be able to hit the points that she really needed to do so with. However, she would be able to take out his mobility. Her arms flung forward as she delivered her next two strikes to the points in the shoulders, the four after that would hit his mid spine, the eight after that being targeted at his lower back, hitting areas near the bowels and kidneys. Finally came the last sixteen which she would use to attack the lower spine and parts of his legs, including behind the knees to cause a great detrament to any movements he would hope to do, along with chakra control like running up walls and trees. Once that was done she would jump back and wait for a moment to see her results, switching to a guard like state rather than an offensive one.
 
 
Grey: {GS} Well at least he wasn't screwed over completely, Grey was still able to use jutsus and his wires. He was afraid he would lose some mobility in his arms or entire body with where he was being struck. Thankfully that wasn't the case. It dawned on Grey just then that the areas where Miyuki wanted to limit him had to be struck in their relative close location! That was a perfect thing to go off of. So he wove his armor around himself as it was postulated before, and wrapped his forearms and hands extra carefully with wires so that they were double layered, protecting himself hopefully from at least a few strikes before the wires were likely paralyzed by Miyuki. 'Alright gotta think, what is she planning.' Grey thought to himself while grabbing a couple of explosive tags with a couple of kunai, throwing both kunai with the explosive tags wrapped around them at the ground in front of Miyuki, hoping to blow some rubble up into the air at her to try and get her on the move while he prepared his third explosive tag and a third kunai, his other hand with three shuriken wrapped around his fingers, waiting for Miyuki to attack him from the front or by chance behind, if she disappeared from sight again she was going to attack from the back likely. If she was going to attack from Behind, Grey would spin around and throw his concussive force kunai straight into the ground between himself and Miyuki to blast both himself and her away. {GS}
 
 
​Miyuki: Miyuki examined Grey closely, her 50 metre, near 360 degree vision watching his every move, as he formed his wires she created distance between them once more, not turning her back, but leaping back repeatedly as she reached into her tool bag, grabbing 5 shuriken, one on each finger to throw one after the other. She was planning an offensive attack, but due to the sudden launching of kunai she had to throw them towards each one, using two on each of the kunai heading in her direction. Not only would it serve to defend her, but setting off the explosive tags would create a nice dust cloud that she would be able to use as a diversion. This time however, rather than coming from behind, she would use transformation jutsu to become a shuriken herself, combined with body flicker to follow one of her shuriken that were blasted away by the explosion. This would give her time to form a plan considering the time it would most likely take for him to figure out where or even what she was after her previous attack.
 
 
Grey: {GS} After his throwing of the kunai, Grey stumbled forward to half of a kneel, struggling to get up. That thirty-two palm strike was a terrible thing to get hit with, it really really hurt and made his whole body feel numb. Shortly after the explosive effects of his tag wrapped kunai, Grey found himself under a volley of shuriken. How he hated fighting a dojutsu user. They were able to see what he was doing constantly, though he still had a few tricks up his sleeves. Namely blocking the coming shuriken with his armor wrapped gloves and sending them backwards with his arms striking them away. Now Grey wasn't aware of the fact that Miyuki was one of these shuriken, but he was just reacting accordingly without moving because let's face it, it hurt to move right now. We cannot divulge as to what Grey had planned next because he had no sign of Miyuki within his field of vision, so he had no means to plan anything. {GS}
 
 
​Miyuki: Miyuki had been flying directly towards grey and met his arm. On contact with the force of his arm, her transformation technique was lost and a puff of smoke rose in the air. Using this to her advantage as she reached into her pouch and threw another kunai at close range. Hopefully his reflexes would dwindle, and along with that, hopefully some more distractions would be generated from her attacks on the kidneys and other areas. With that in mind, she thought of her targets for any of her next strikes. She saw the chakra infused wires protecting his arms, and knew she would need to attack those, then his hands in order to do much damage, this would require close and precise combat, especially if she did not which to mortally wound him when using the chakra as a knife. If he were to deflect the kunai, she would follow up with a frontal assault with the previous in mind, if he were to dodge it she would track him with the Byakugan and try and move to his side in order to rush his arms, hoping to disable him further than he already was. 
 
 
Grey: {GS} Grey was trying to get his body to respond, but it hurt to move and it was moving slower. So slow that he didn't bother to try deflecting the kunai coming at him, taking the force of the kunai into his armor and it fell out after it struck him. There was blood seeping through his armor from the sharpness of the kunai puncturing just a little through his armor. He focused on trying to go hand to hand against Miyuki this time, managing to deflect a few of her blows. But with the speed she was going and the fact that he was tired out from the blows from earlier, Grey felt his arms giving out and his wires were unravelling from around his arms, "Oh crap." Grey was unable to channel chakra to his arms, and Miyuki was readying herself for more attacks. Grey simply stumbled backwards like he was drunk, just barely avoiding one of those chakra knife-hand strikes as his arms dangled like they were numb. They were going to be useable again, but chakra flow to them would be something to come later. {GS}
 
 
​Miyuki: At this rate, Miyuki felt like she could get out a couple of more C-rank techniques and still be able to fight. With that in mind, and with the thoughts to make sure she wouldn't harm her squad mate to the point he'd be in the hospital for more than a day, she prepared air bullets, taking a deep breath as she continued her onslaught of attacks towards him. After the deep breath she would release them, firing five bullets of air at his legs in hopes to incapacitate him and end the fight there. If that wasn't the case however, she would rush forward once more and perform a feign attack with her palms aimed directly at his chest, if he were to be distracted by this she would sweep at his feet as to knock him on the ground, which at that point, would make it hard to get up without use of his hands. If her were to try and get up however, she would rush in once again and swing at his legs followed by the words. "Submit please, I don't want to hurt you more than I have." In the event he did, she would hold out her hand to help him up. Though no matter the outcome of this fight, she wouldn't like it. She hated the fact that she was fighting a squad member and friend. A person she was meant to fight beside, not harm.
 
 
Grey: {GS} Grey, unable to really move much from the lack of chakra flow to his body throughout his chakra pathway system, remained standing however. He refused to let himself fall to the ground. It was hard to remain standing after the air bullet hit him and he stepped backwards a couple of times, knees buckling while trying to remain up. He was too distracted by trying to remain concious to notice the feign attack. He stumbled backwards again, rolling his shoulders and balancing himself out with his arms. "Submit? Sure. But don't even try to knock me down, I refuse to let that happen. Just who the hell do you think I am huh?" Grey asked his teammate while reaching out to take her offered hand and he held up both of his hands in surrender while his eyes rolled backwards, falling forward and going dead weight against Miyuki. Though he was true to one thing, he didn't even let his knees touch the ground, but he was unconcious at this point. {GS}
 
 
​Miyuki: Miyuki sighed softly in relief at the fact that he wasn't going to be totally stubborn about submitting, feeling him grip her hand, she noticed he was weak, and before she knew it he was falling towards her. She caught him and held him up slightly, giving a frown at first, but then a soft smile when she saw that he managed to hold up to what he had said before blacking out. He was a strange one, and he was a bit hard to work with at times, but he was her squad member, and she his. She motioned for the proctor after the fight was called and she asked him to hold Grey up. Once that was done, she took care and percision to unlock each chakra point she had locked before to hopefully help him recover as the medical staff arrived to treat his other injuries and check for any internal damage. After that, the crowd seemed to erupt with cheers, yet Miyuki couldn't take joy in it. She couldn't take any pride in what she had done. She had attacked a comrade, and it wasn't something to be proud of, and she was dissapointed even, in the people of the village, for cheering her on for doing something like that. None-the-less, she waved to the crowd and bowed slightly before darting off, following after the medical team to follow Grey to the hospital. Once she had caught up she kept her pace to stay alongside Grey, all the way into the room where she would sit until he regained conciousness.
