==Title:Chunin Match Eight: Nakara Vs Kanon==
Kaiiaki: -Today was another nerve wrecking day for the young Nakara Haruno. She had won her first two fights, and it was getting down into the final rounds. She wasn’t sure whether she had gotten here by sheer amount of skill, or if it had been just luck. It seemed to be more around the lines of good luck. Well, in that case, she hoped she wasn’t running out of her luck anytime soon. Last night had been a bad night for her. She was intensely upset about the fact that she had blown her own comrade’s leg off. Even though it wasn’t her aim to do such a thing, it had ended up in one of the worst case scenarios. The guilt of the matter had even made her throw up behind the stands it had made her so sick. But even then, when the poor boy was bleeding out, he had shown Nakara no form of hatred or feelings of betrayal. He simply asked her if she could win the fight for him. He hadn’t even yelled at her for what she did, and kept asking her if she was doing alright. This made her feel all the guiltier for blowing his leg off. As if she was the bad guy getting away with a horrible crime. She took it pretty hard upon herself for doing this. From now on, she would try her best to teach herself that there are ways of winning a fight without hurting your comrade too badly. Her father had been intent on her learning this lesson. But had she failed him? She didn’t know. But at least in the spar following the one with her father, she had beaten her comrade without harming him in the slightest bit. So if anything, maybe she had proven she could face an opponent without hurting him. That was a skill she needed for chunin, she knew this. But even though she lacked that skill sometimes, and had made a huge mistake in hurting Yu, she wasn’t going to give up. It had taken awhile for the sickening feeling to leave her body. But today, she was feeling much better. To see Yu up and around walking on crutches, it did make her feel a tad bit better. At least he wasn’t laying in a hospital bed unconscious. Nakara shook her head back and forth, trying to rid herself of those negative thoughts. Those weren’t going to do her any good in this fight. She had to pull herself together, for everyone. There weren’t any Amegakure ninja left in the chunin exams anymore. Nakara was the last one. It left a whole bunch of pressure was left on her shoulders. It was something she had to make everyone proud of. As she heard her name called to begin in the next fight, she stood up. Her bright aquamarine eyes scanned over her inventory before moving down to the sparkling green water in the canyon below. On her, she had 5 kunai, 6 shuriken, 5 senbon, 1 flash bomb, 1 smoke bomb, 6 paper bombs, and a single gourd that was attached to her hip by an elastic strap. Yup, everything was in place for the fight. She was set to go. After checking through that, Nakara glanced over to her father that was sitting in the stands. She nodded at him a single time, with a sweet smile upon her pale face. She was going to make him proud of her, and do the same thing for everyone else in the village of Amegakure. Nakara tore her eyes away from his as she walked over to the edge of the cliff that split of into the canyon filled with water below. She then focused a small amount of chakra into the soles of her feet. The chakra was just her usual chakra, no other chakra was being used yet. It would move down her chakra network in a small amount, spreading throughout the bottoms of her feet. It was being distributed in a small and even amount, in a smooth layer beneath the soles of her feet. This would bring her the appropriate amount, enough to walk upon the waters of the lake without having any problem. After accumulating the right amount, Nakara pounced down on top of the water below. She watched her opponent, his back turned to her for now. “It is my turn to win. It is MY turn. I don’t care who you are. But this is my chance to be a chunnin. Not yours.” A hardened expression was worn upon Nakara’s face. She was confident in herself and in her abilities. She met him in the middle, bowing to him a single time in respect before she pounced away from him to land about 45 feet from him in the west direction, still upon the water. She wanted to keep a little more distance between herself and him than she did in the first fight. Nakara gritted her teeth as she withdrew two senbon with her right hand, and grasped them between her fingers tightly, as if it was a death grip. “Alright. I’m ready.” She said this in a hard lined voice, ready to begin the fight.-
KaminariKaito: -Hearing his name called for the next battle, Kanon would move from his seat on the bench and grab his weapons pouches. The soft breeze was blowing across the canyon as he took a step down one row of bleachers. This blew his dark black locks around atop his cranium. A smell of fresh popcorn and sweets were wafting around in the air as he takes a deep breath. A small sigh would escape him as he exhales and stretches a bit. Bending backwards he would pull his arms over his head and move side to side. Standing straight back up Kanon would strap his pouches on and make sure his katana was tied on tightly. Walking to the edge of the water he would take a small jog and then jump up into the air high enough to clear the sides of the cliff. A portion of his chakra would be focused into his feet as he landed lightly on the water and walked his way toward his opponent. Lifting his foot he would feel dripping from the bottom of his shoes. This didn't bother him as he continues to walk and hears his foot crash back down onto the water with a splashing sound. His katana would sway on his hi and his katana would follow suit. In his pouches he would have five kunai, fifteen senbon, and ten senbon. Coming closer to the battle field Kanon would see that his opponent was a pink haired girl. Raising a brow Kanon would question to himself why her forehead was so big, but then shrugs it off as he looks to the proctor of the match waiting for his signal to begin.-
Kaiiaki: -It looked as if it were time for the fight to finally begin now. She had been waiting for this, she was ready. No doubt. Nakara already had her senbon at the ready. Now, she threw them with a high speed of 32 miles per hour right towards the area of Kanon’s subclavian artery in his right shoulder. The second was sent at the exact same time, aimed right at the femoral artery in his left leg. Arteries were placed right under the deepest layer of the skin, the hypodermis. They were innervated through the layer of fat and connective tissue right beneath that layer.  So by aiming at these spots, Nakara knew she had a high chance of making her mark. Due to the fact that she had no training in shurikenjustu however, she would be lucky if she even hit her target in the areas that she had intended to hit him. Arteries were larger than most nerves were, easier to hit even at long range distances. Her training with the Anbu Kunisada Uchiha had helped increase her jutsu speed, but hadn’t helped her increase her throwing speed. Although it was yet to be seen whether she would have to resort to using any of her jutsu in this fight. She hoped she wouldn’t have to. But if this guy had made it this far into the exams, she might have to go a little harder than she did in her last fight. She did have a few advantages over her opponent though. She had been in the stands and watched the fight between him and her teammate Tetsuo. Unfortunately for him, Nakara his earth clone jutsu. He had seemed to be going all out in his fight with Tetsuo. But one thing that Kanon didn’t know, that if he had had trouble with Tetsuo, he was going to have even more trouble with Nakara. As Nakara had always beaten out Tetsuo in each of their sparring matches. In fact, she hadn’t lost a spar against any genin yet. She wasn’t about to lost this one tonight. Those spots that she aimed at were pretty bad. If they were to hit Kanon, he would bleed out for the rest of the match. After a certain amount of time, the match would have to be called because it would cause too much blood loss for him to continue the fight. Nakara knew that Kanon had used earth clones that could withstand any attack that was thrown at them. She had watched in horror as Tetsuo continually cut through the clones that just reformed over and over again. Good thing she had stayed to watch that fight. Or else she would have no knowledge about this. Also, knowing this fact, she knew the first move would probably be her only chance to use any form of weaponry against Kanon, as it most likely wouldn’t work later on in the game if his earth clones were involved. After aiming those senbon at Kanon, Nakara pounced up out of the water, and up towards the forest behind the stands. She stood behind a tree with a good amount of leaves upon it. She hid behind it for the moment, hiding from his eyesight. She hoped that Kanon had not seen her move into her final position. Nakara took a deep breath before pulling out a kunai attached with a paper bomb, and sticking it down into the ground, hidden by the tree. Nakara moved from tree to tree, keeping herself hidden and out of sight, placing kunai with paper bombs attached to them, hiding them at the base of each tree she stopped at. There were six large trees in the entire area, a perfect amount for the amount of paper bombs she had. Except for the last tree she stopped at, she used a shuriken to hold the paper bomb in place at the base of the tree. Thankfully, luck was on Nakara’s side again. The trees she had placed the bombs at weren’t in proximity of the people in the stands. So nobody in the stands would get hurt if the bombs were activated. Nakara activated the chakra into her feet once again as if she was about to go back to walking upon the water. But instead, Nakara climbed up the tree she had placed the last bomb at, and stood upon the top branches as she looked down from Kanon from above.  Because Kanon would not have seen her since she had stayed hidden from his eyesight by the generous amount of bushes in the area, he would have no knowledge of the paper bombs being placed around in the area. Nakara smirked as she yelled down to Kanon. “Hey Senju boy! Come and get me!!” Nakara stuck her tongue out at him in a taunting manner, daring him to come at her. -
KaminariKaito: -Kanon would see the girl in pink hair throw something at him as he moves to take his fist movement forward. Dropping his right shoulder he would hear a senbon go whizzing by his ear and past him only to hit the water behind him. Bringing his left leg forward and up he would feel a slight twinge of pain in his outer calf. The second senbon would barely clip Kanon's calf and a small trickle of blood would start to run down his leg as he takes of running toward the girl's position. Since he wasn't held back by the senbon like she had wanted Kanon would see her put together the paper bomb trap with the trees. Seeing that they are all set up in a ten foot radius of the tree that they girl was in. The bombs surrounding her were all set to explode and Kanon would take advantage of this as he begins his hand seals. Starting at Boar, his next seal would be Ox, and his final seal would be him slamming both hands on the ground. This technique would be set up with Kanon at about ten feet away from the blast radius. A long eruption of earth would be sent in a line toward the tree the girl was in coming from the left of her location. She would have little to no time to react to all of her own bombs going off at the same instant and causing a massive explosion. Not to mention that if she touched the ground around her tree she would be swallowed up and crushed by the earth. Once the technique hit her tree it would fall straight down within the radius of the jutsu.-
Kaiiaki: -As soon as she saw that Kanon was heading for where she was at, she had to get out of there, there was no time before the bombs went off. That had been her plan all along, to lure him over there to entrap him within the bombs’ radius. The needles hadn’t hindered him in the amount that she had wanted, but at least he was still falling for it. She forced the handsigns at lightning speed Tiger → Boar → Ox → Dog → Snake as her body was replaced by a block of wood just in the knick of time. The real Nakara had landed right back upon the lake inside of the canyon at a distance of about 40 feet from the closest tree that had went off. Nakara took a few huffs, bringing air into her lungs as she realized how close she had come to being blown to bits. If she hadn’t been at the very top of the closest tree to the lake, she might not be here right now. Again, she thanked her lucky stars that she was still breathing. This kid was nothing to mess with, he was definitely intelligent enough to get past a trap that no normal genin would have found their way out of. Or would have been able to get out of. He had set the bombs off himself, not what she was expecting. “You’ve impressed me so far…let’s see if you can continue to keep up with me.” At this distance, Nakara was safe from the blast area, but she didn’t really have time to take more than a couple breaths, because she figured he would soon be coming after her. She didn’t like this, she was being forced to take the defensive, the offensive was what she preferred all the time. But it looked as if for now, she would have to be careful around this boy. From what she had observed so far, he could go with either long range, to short range attacks. Another thing she could give him credit for, as not many could deal with multiple ranges unless they were highly skilled. But luckily, Nakara could deal with multiple ranges if she was made to. After those couple breaths, she pounced over to the water below near the area in which she had last seen Kanon as fast as she could while weaving the hand signs Snake → Ram → Monkey → Boar → Horse → Tiger. The smoke was still obscuring the entire area where the bombs had went off. The whole area of land was covered with smoke for the time being. Even the area where the stands where was covered in smoke. Since Nakara had been a good distance away from the blast sight, and had seen the extent of where the smoke had been, she knew exactly where she was going. Anyone stuck inside the cloud of smoke would not be able to see a thing around them. Especially because there had been so many bombs in the area. The clouds of smoke were thick, leaving little, to no visibility. Nakara suspected there would also be a good amount of fires in the once wooded area. That was good, the fires and smoke would hide this move she was about to make. As the final hand sign was in position, she had reached the area of water beneath the cliff. She stood upon the water directly below, and whispered, “Fire Style; Fire Bullet Jutsu!” Since she had already activated the hand signs, there was nothing left to do but focus on activating her fire chakra within her core. After a few seconds of concentrating on that, she moved a medium amount of that fire chakra up through her body in medium sized strands. It went past her diaphragm, ribs, and esophagus up through the chakra network, making its way up towards her mouth. Upon reaching her mouth, the chakra began to heat up towards the temperature of a real fire. So quickly, Nakara coated the delicate tissue of her mouth with a layer of normal chakra, so she could coat the area from internal burns. After that, she pursed her lips together in a tight line. Then, she sprayed out a medium sized fire bullet. It was the shape of a large sphere and took on the appearance of a large bullet made out of fire. Nakara aimed this single bullet at a speed of approximately 34 miles per hour straight at the area of where Kanon was. It wasn’t too much of a high speed, but it would be enough to get the job done. Nakara aimed this large fireball up the side of the cliff, at an angle of about 76 degrees. The size of it was about 3 foot in width and 2 yards in height. This was close to a straight up shot and the cliff would conceal most of the move until it was about inches away. Thanks to the amount of smoke that the paper bombs had given off, and cliff, Kanon would most likely not even see this fireball being aimed straight at him until it was too late. After aiming the fire ball, Nakara pulled out a single shuriken with her right hand, ready to deflect anything if he somehow managed to make it out of or dodge this attack. -
KaminariKaito: -Being a safe distance away from the explosions, Kanon had been engulfed in smoke. He could see for a few feet in this smoke if he was looking forward, but if he was looking up he could see the sky almost clearly. His first reaction to being stuck in this was to pull a piece of his wrap up over his mouth as if he was ventilating it. Being able to breathe was key to him being able to fight back at this point. Just as he takes another step forward parts of the smoke above him would displace and an intense heat would waft by as a fire ball passed about seven or eight feet in front of him and up into the sky to dissolve. This action would not move the smoke enough to give clear sight as to where he was, but it would give him son insight on where the girl might be. Seeing as the attack came from in front of him, he kept heading that way until he felt the edge of the crater that was a lake. You see the smoke had covered such an extensive area now parts of the lake were even covered. So, Kanon was still in cover as he looked out and could just barely see through the smoke some pink hair. Thats when he knew that he had found his target. Quickly he would take out two Kunai with two paper bombs attached to each of them and throw them one at a time, but very closely together. One was aimed at the girl's right side, the other was aimed at her left side. As soon as both o he kunai got close Kanon would trigger them to explode and would cause a good sized explosion. If even half of the attack would hit the girl would be badly damaged, but Kanon wasn't done yet. He would back up a few feet, slowly and quietly drawing his katana and wait to hear the explosions. As he did this he would take off running. As soon as he reached the edge of the lake he would jump as high as he could and come down aiming to drive his katana straight into the girls body where ever he could connect.-
Kaiiaki: -As soon as the fire bullet was released from sight, Nakara pounced back and away from the smoke that was beginning to form around the water in the canyon. She landed about 56 feet, still on the water, but away from the smoke that was slowly making its way towards her. Sheesh, she didn’t have much to work with now. She felt it was getting down to the final ropes. It was time to end this now, or she would be the one losing. Upon landing, Nakara knew it was a wise choice to once again put some distance between them, as she wouldn’t have been able to see anything in that smoke. Sure enough, as soon as her feet touched the water, she saw what looked like more paper bombs exploding right where she had been standing just a few moments ago. She gulped loudly and whispered, “Yikes that could have been me…” She shook her head back and forth, trying to not let herself get riled up. She could see what he was trying to do. Number one, blow her to bits. Number two, trying to spread the smoke over the area of the water so she would be forced to move to the land for visibility. However, she wasn’t stupid enough to fall for that bait. No, no matter what attack he was going for next, she wasn’t going to see it until it was probably too late. She accepted that fact. But she wasn’t going to just stand there, she would fight back. Nakara forced the hand signs Snake → Ram → Monkey → Boar → Horse → Tiger at the quickest speed she possibly could. Once again, she molded her fire chakra inside of her core, pinching it off at a large amount. It went past her diaphragm, ribs, and esophagus up through the chakra network, making its way up towards her mouth. When it reached her mouth, the chakra began to heat up towards the temperature of a real fire. Nakara then coated the delicate tissue of her mouth with a layer of normal chakra, so she could coat the area from internal burns. After that, she pursed her lips together in a tight line, but pinching her cheeks so the fire would stay inside. She held the fire chakra inside her mouth, waiting and watching intently for him to show his presence. It didn’t take long, she didn’t see his location until he was about inches from her. She knew that now was the time to strike. This would be her only chance to get in a severe hit, and she was going to take it. She could see he was indeed attacking from above with his katana. Good. That would be his mistake. Nakara moved her body so that she was in sort of backbend position. As the sword began to pierce through her left shoulder, right between her left breast and armpit, she unleashed the fire that she had been holding in her mouth, straight up at Kanon from where he was coming down from above. This time, she had not made the mistake of making a smaller fireball. This time the fire bullet that had been unleashed was equivalent to twice the size of Kanon’s body, the height of it was 6 feet and one inch, the depth of it was 4 inches, and the width spanned the length of 6 feet. This move looked nearly impossible to dodge, given the way that Kanon had come down on her, and since she had aimed it while the sword was still slicing into her. If the fire bullet would engorge him, Kanon would need to seek immediate medical attention, as a heat this intense would undoubtedly give anyone serious third degree burns.-
KaminariKaito: -Slicing into the girl he would see her making a weird face as he quickly let go of the katana and due to Newton's law of gravity which states that an object in motion shall stay in motion until acted upon by an outside force he would have no choice to but slam into the girls body and potentially knock her backwards as he bounces off and into the water. Falling into the water he would not focus chakra into any part of his body and would hold his breath letting himself sink for a about a foot. As he hit the water the girls attempt at roasting him would occur in a magnificent fireball that flew out of her mouth. Once he was down far enough he would swim under water until he was six feet away from her. Pulling himself up onto the water he would look back at her and then toss another kunai with two more explosive tags attached to it at her wounded body. As soon as it got within range of her he would use the trigger to make it explode as he watches to see if she can dodge this. Due to the placement of his katana it was highly unlikely that she would be able to form hand seals and even more unlikely that she would be able to move quickly enough to dodge the kunai headed right for her center of mass.-
LightFang: -As he watched the two genin fighting within the eigth round of the Chunin Exams, Ken'ichi would activate his byakugan concealed by his blind fold. Keeping his eyes focused on the movements of the two Ken'ichi would pase himself a safe enough distance away from the combat yet close enough to intervine in a moments notice. His eyes would focus on the movements of the mist ninja. He would easily follow the boys movements under the water and notice him drawing two kunai, both with paper bombs attached. Judging by the way she was facing Ken'ichi would know that the ame ninja would not have enough time to evade such an attack. Quickly Ken'ichi would decide to call this match having to assert him self and stop the fight. Doing so He would unzip both pouches on his sides in a flash of the wrists and move into the fray. He would outstrech his hand toward Nakara and send his pinkish Neodymium Sand out toward her. This would make the sand immediatly encase her in a full metal coffin. This being done the two kunai would ping against the metal coffin and detonate arround it leaving Nakara safe from the explosion. After the flames and concussive force of the blast had past Ken'ichi would retract the sand back into his pouches and then raise his right hand speeking softly, "Winner Kanon Senju."-
