== Chunin Exams 202 Final Round Ryuu Vs Inkuato Itsuki ==
IItsumo:*After several minutes had passed she would get to her feet once more and move to the center of the platform. She would Project her voice out over the area and with a smile speak. * “We are about to start the final match in this year’s Chunin Exams. The last two competitors will be genin of Amegakure. The first Competitor will be Ryuu.” *She took a breath and then spoke once again. * “His opponent will be Inkuato Itsuki.” *she then stepped back and waited for them to make their way to the arena thinking this would be an interesting match. *
IlRyuu: *Ryuu stretched after watching Fumetsu fight another Genin named Itsuki, with Itsuki winning the fight as someone interfered on Fumetsu's behalf. He was well-rested, full of energy and at 100% chakra from the sleep he had gotten. He'd fallen asleep on the bleachers, but after sleeping on rooftops for so many years, he felt just fine with it. He had no problems sleeping and woke up at the sound of the female higher-up announcing the next fight as well as the small movements as people took their seats, with his teammates being pretty much in front of him as he slowly sat up and yawned. The match he had been relatively quick, with some small burst of action ending the fight before seeing Fumetsu and Itsuki leave the arena for a few momets before hearing his name called for the last match for the Chunin Exams before Ryuu looked over and tapped Kazuki on the shoulder to get his attention. Once he had gotten it, Ryuu leaned down and whispered to him so no one else could hear him.* "Hey, you mind if I take an explosive tag off ya? That's all I lost yesterday in my match and I wanna go into the fight with everything being full."
Kazukii: -Feeling the tap on his shoulder he listened as Ryuu asked him for an explosive tag in a whisper like tone in which Kazuki responded with nodding slightly his cobalt messy mid length hair swaying slightly only to reach over to his right side with his right hand taking hold of the zipper of his black trimmed blue pouch that was strapped along his side held on by a belt like the other three pooches were and pulled back on the zipper just enough to where he could stick his hand through the opening. He rummaged through his pouch until he felt the stack of ten light blue tag shaped explosive tags he had stashed away in there. The light blue color came from the special toad oil he used to coat his paper making it water and fire resistant. Taking a grip of one of them by placing his thumb and index finger on the edge of the top of the explosive tag he slipped one out of the blue string he had used to keep them together. He quickly pulled his hand out of his pouch and handed the tag to Ryuu. His lips parted slowly as he went to speak to Ryuu. - “ Good luck out there and…do your best….”
LightFang: -Itsuki, hearing his name called again would rise from his seat and head down the stands. He slowly walked the path toward the stage and ascended the staircase leading up to the stone platform. Avoiding the multiple cracks along the stage, Itsuki would take his place on the right side of the arena if you were looking at it from the stands. He would take a moment to bow toward the Kage stand, knowing that he was bowing toward the Kage of his village, the Amekage. His all black attire offset by the white of his hair as he raised back up to stare at the stands. Itsuki wasn't too happy about having to go into a fight immediately after his last while his opponent had a whole day to rest since they last fought. At least he hadn't suffered any damage in his last fight, but he had wasted a bit of chakra. In the few minutes break before matches Itsuki managed to rest and get some back but not a significant amount. He also knew he hadn't lost any of his tools yet, which was a good thing. He just hoped he could make do with what he had. Itsuki would take his scroll off of his back and place it edge down onto the stone platform while holding the other end in his right hand. He held his scroll in this position as he waited for his opponent to enter the arena. -
Kazuko: *Kazuko listened as Ryuu’s name as called along with the boy whom had one the last match. She watched as Ryuu leaned in and whispered something to Kazuki and she blinked and smiled softly as she watched Kazuki hand Ryuu a paper tag by its blue color she knew it was different than the ones Ryuu had in his pouch again. Kazuko would nod to Ryuu* “Good Luck Ryuu Do your best” *she then smiled softly and looked back at the Arena*
IlRyuu: *Ryuu watched as Kazuki turned to face him before seeing him nod at his question, which made a grin appear underneath his rebreather as he saw Kazuki take out a light blue explosive tag from one of his pouches and handed it to him, saying good luck and to do his best at the same time. Ryuu took the explosive tag and placed it in the pouch on his lower back before he heard Kazuko tell him to do his best and good luck as well, something that made his grin turn into a smile before he responded to them.* “I will; thanks you two.” *He was glad he had teammates that were supporting him before he took a quick mental check of his inventory as he had done yesterday. He stood from where he was sitting before making his way down the stairs, he had the remaining 5 kunai and 3 senbon in his left leg pouch, the remaining 6 shuriken in his right leg pouch, 2 flash bombs and his now 4 paper bombs in the pouch off of his lower back; and of course, he had his katana, Dragon’s Fang hanging on his hip. He was still wearing the same get-up he had been wearing yesterday, with his dark blue hoodie covering his upper body and the black hood of the garment still up and covering his orange hair, though it covered up the Amegakure forehead headband he was wearing underneath his orange locks as well as his black fingerless gloves on his hands. His matching dark blue jeans and black sandals were still there as well as he made his way down, his rebreather was already on and well fit, so he felt no need to try and mess with it. As he made his final step off of the bleachers, Ryuu saw that Itsuki had made his way to the arena stage already on the right side and he quickly remembered as much as he could from Itsuki’s match with Fumetsu, but with it being so short; he hadn’t been able to see much. The most he knew at the moment was that Itsuki used scrolls and from what he could tell, some sort of ink that created creatures of some sort. He made his way towards the arena and up the staircase leading up to the stone platform before he took his place on the opposite side of Itsuki, with Itsuki facing him as he was doing the same. He briefly turned to his side to face the raised tower and bowed towards the higher-ups, his thoughts beginning to race quickly through his head as his nerves began to buzz around once more as they had done with Unaru yesterday. He closed his blue eyes, took a slow breath and exhaled it to try and get his nerves out of his thought process and out of his body; he needed to focus on the fight at hand and make sure that he wasn’t going to mess this up. He opened his blue eyes as he felt himself calm once more as he turned to fully face Itsuki once more and glanced at his opponent as he began to notice what was there before him; he took note of the scroll on the edge of the stone platform with the other end of it in Itsuki’s right hand. He took a readying stance himself as he waited for the female higher-up to announce for the match to begin.*
IItsumo:*Itsumo nodded her head a single strand of her long blonde hair falling into her faceas she did so. Both boys had now made their way to the ring and were ready to begin the final round she would smile softly under her black mask as she spoke.* “You May Begin” *she then turned and went back to her seat glancing at Kagato once before sitting down and focusing on the match.*
LightFang: -Itsuki would listen hearing the proctor begin the match before he moved. As soon as she said begin Itsuki would raise his large scroll high above his head. Quickly he would set the scroll onto his back again before he drew his sword from the scabard he had secured in the rings on his belt. Itsuki would point the blade of his sword toward his enemy's face leaving his arms low to give his body a defencive guard across itself. He would eye his opponent down watching his hips to see a sign of movement while keeping the boys arms in his peripheral. Itsuki knew he needed to conserve chakra and figured if he made this a kenjutsu fight that he wouldn't need to use much chakra by the end of it. Itsuki would slowly take steps leading with his left foot which was his lead foot and pointed at his opponent. He would finish the steps by pulling his right foot forward till it was shoulder width apart and still pointed at about a fourty-five degree angle from the opponent. Itsuki was turned side ways in this stance with his left side facing his opponent and giving him as little surface area to attack as possible. Itsuki would continue taking these short steps till he was just outside of measure, meaing with one more step he could cross his body and attack Ryuu, but didn't. Watching Ryuu Itsuki would nod slightly giving his opponent priority. Itsuki was going to wait and react to the other boy's attack first.-
IlRyuu: *Ryuu heard the higher-ranking female clear them to fight before he saw Itsuki place the large scroll in his hands over his head and place it on his back, making him look confusingly at him for a moment before seeing Itsuki draw out a blade from its sheath. Ryuu looked as Itsuki placed blade of his sword out towards Ryuu before securing his stance in a defensive motion. As he saw Itsuki slowly making his way towards Ryuu, Ryuu placed his hands in the seal of the Tiger as two exact copies of Ryuu made themselves appear on either side of him as he used the Water Clone technique. He watched as even though the clones had been made, Itsuki continued his advance towards him slowly, making Ryuu’s blue eyes blink once as he kept his eyes on the ink wielder. He watched as Itsuki ended his progress until he was just a step away from Ryuu, with his right foot shoulder-width apart and was at an angle and his left side was facing Ryuu and his clones, noticing that he wouldn’t have much of an advantage to swing at him if he did; he took note of the small nod from Itsuki, signaling that he wanted Ryuu to strike first. His two Water Clones simultaneously formed the seal of the Tiger as they both disappeared into a puff of smoke as they used the Body Flicker Technique with Ryuu keeping his blue eyes locked onto Itsuki, making sure he didn’t move. Shortly after the two Water Clones disappeared, they reappeared in a triangle formation around Itsuki, with Itsuki being in the middle before all three Ryuu reached down and placed their hands on the hilt of their own Dragon’s Fang and slowly withdrew the blades from their sheaths at the same time; luckily the Water Clones weren’t that far away from the original Ryuu, so there would be no hope of the Water Clones being lost to his control. After they drew their own Dragon’s Fang, they all held the blade out in front of their person and aimed at Itsuki as they all took a defensive stance, all of their gazes locked onto the ink-wielder in front of them before Ryuu spoke to Itsuki.* “Your move.”
LightFang: -Itsuki would sigh as his opponent said it was his move after he had been surrounded by two clones and Ryuu in a triangle like formation. "I should really learn a clone technique," Itsuki would say light heartedly as his eyes darted to keep a perceptive view of each possible attacker. Itsuki would remain threatening, by holding his stance with the sword tip pointed to the face of what he currently knew as the real Ryuu, given he hasn't moved. Itsuki stayed perfectly still as he watched the situation around him knowing that if he moved it could be extremely bad for him. He didn't want to budge incase his opponent took it as an opening. ITsuki knew he was at the disadvantage fighting multiple opponents at once, but he still didn't even know if the two to his sides were tangible or not. "You really got me in a bind here," Itsuki said softly, "Not much option." Itsuki decided to just wait for his opponent to attack first.-
IlRyuu: *Ryuu and his two Water Clones kept their gaze upon Itsuki as he heard the ink-wielder say something about him needing to learn a clone technique, something that made Ryuu grin slightly underneath his rebreather, but it remained hidden from Itsuki. He noticed Itsuki not moving to strike or move away as he just held his ground in the triangle formation he and his Water Clones had him encircled in. The blade that Itsuki held was still pointed towards him, as the Dragon’s Fangs he and his Water Clones held out towards him collectively were still doing. Ryuu heard Itsuki say that he had him in a bind and that he didn’t have much option, which made Ryuu steady himself once more, getting a tighter hold on his stance as he waited patiently, not moving his blade away from Itsuki or moving in a motion of attack; his Water Clones repeated the movements as Ryuu had done, but made no movement to attack nor move their blades away from Itsuki. Ryuu smirked underneath his rebreather as he spoke to Itsuki again, knowing full and well that Itsuki was waiting for him to make the first move.* “You drew the blade and you’re right, you don’t have much option...so please, be my guest.”
UnaruInuzuka: -Unaru had silently watched the fight allowing himself to take note of the skills that were shown and file them away in his thoughts, there definitely had been some new things he had learned within these exams even when he wasn't fighting. His hands trailed down to his pups hands brushing slowly over them as his thoughts were silent. As he watched the two standing there without moving though his hand lightly twitched at the fact of the sudden stand off that seemed to linger, he wasn't really one for patience if he could help such so this would have made him edgy in such a situation in comparison. Didn't mean he didn't know when to keep silent, hide and wait out the right moment but this was a bit extreme in his book especially if it meant being faced to face with the enemy you were to go after... He didn't voice his opinion for maybe there was a reason for it all but still... he kind of wondered if it will ever end and waiting on that burst of action was the only reason he hasn't lost himself in his thoughts too far beyond the fight itself.-
LightFang: -Itsuki would smirk to the boys responce but that was hidden behind the rebreather he wore under the muffler shawl. Itsuki continueling to check the clones and ryuu himself by scaning his eyes slightly, would respond, "Well, I didnt expect the clones unfortunately." Itsuki would slight move his right hand, that was holding his chokuto just below his left, to where his fingers were no longer wrapped around the hilt. He would move this so slowly that it shouldnt be a detectable movement and left his hand resting against the blade at an angle that looked like he was still holding it. Itsuki would continue speaking to his opponent aswell, "As you say, i really don't think I'm in a position to make the first move here." Itsuki was still searching for a sight of movement in any of the Ryuus around him as he went on. "So i insist, after you."-
IlRyuu: *Ryuu and his clones kept their gaze on Itsuki as he watched as they all stood motionless before all three Ryuu moved quickly towards him at the same time; the Ryuu facing Itsuki shoved his Dragon’s Fang towards Itsuki’s chest, aiming to be able to avoid any defensive measure Itsuki could try to avoid the incoming attack, the Water Clone off to Itsuki’s left side lunged his blade towards Itsuki’s side, aiming to drive the blade into the ribcage of the ink-wielder and the last Water Clone lunged his blade towards the ink-wielder’s lower back. He knew that he didn’t want to kill the ink-wielder and that all of the simultaneous strikes that were aiming towards Itsuki could very well do so, but with the formation he had chosen, he didn’t seem to have much of a choice. All three of these attacks happened at the same time, each with the ability to seriously maim or even kill the ink wielder if someone didn’t try to help Itsuki.*
KunisadaUchiha: -Kunisada watched as the two remaining Genin took their readying stance on the arena before hearing the match begin. He watched as Itsuki placed away his large scroll and slowly made his way over to Ryuu with his blade drawn, while Ryuu made two clones and soon enough surrounded Itsuki in a triangle formation, each with their own blades drawn. Neither of them moved for a moment, but in a sudden burst of movement, all three Ryuu surrounding Itsuki moved with their blades all aimed to impale Itsuki. Kunisada slightly turned his head for the third time now as the same ANBU that had saved Ban Nara and Fumetsu Kaguya quickly formed the Tiger seal as he moved away from his location, using the Body Flicker. The ANBU appeared on Itsuki’s side, seeing the tip of all of the blades about to make impact with Itsuki’s body before he quickly clapped his hands together and shot his palms out, sending a powerful gale of wind towards Itsuki as he used the Gale Palm Technique, moving Itsuki out of the way from certain death. After Itsuki had been moved away from the danger of being impaled by the blades, the ANBU formed the Tiger seal again and disappeared as he Body Flickered back to his original position. Kunisada knew the actions of sending the ANBU member out would cause Itsuki to be disqualified, meaning Ryuu would be the winner of the last match and the winner of the Chunin Exams. Oddly enough, the one person no one talked about or even considered as a possibility of winning ended up being the victor of the year’s Exams.-
IItsumo:*Itsumo would watch as the fight finished and once again a member of the Amegakure Anbu stepped into save the boy from dying. She would get to her feet and walk up once again to the center of the platform and speak loudly.* “ Tue winner is Ryuu” *she would pause for a moment then speak once again.* “This concludes the Final round of the Chunin Exams Please stand bye to find out if you have been promoted or not.”
LightFang: -Itsuki would lower his guard and stand up straight. He would pin his blade placing it back into the scabard before looking to Ryuu, the real one in front of him. This would be the first time Itsuki rose his head to look at the boys eyes. Slowly itsuki would extend his right hand toward the boy as if offering to shake his hand. "Perhaps i should have attacked differently." Itsuki would speak with a dit of dissapointment in his tone as he waited to see if the boy shook his hand. "Next time I'll have a different plan though." This was said with a little more lightheartedness. Itsuki would place his arms by his side if at this point Ryuu hadn't shook his hand he assumed he wouldn't. Then itsu made his way down the steps of the platform and up to his seat in the stands.-
IlLucianlI: *Ritsuka had been shocked by the outcome of the exams the whole day. He had been surprised to find the winner being the genin Ryu. He didnt think many people were thinking the exams would go that way. He himself thought Unaru would make it all the way but was still proud of his team nonetheless. He yawned lightly and rose to stretch. Ritsuka was relieved everyone made it out of the exams with their lives at least.It seemed some people were handling their losses worse than others, though for the majority everything had calmed down quite a bit. He glanced down at unaru and offered a hand to help him up*
IlRyuu: *Ryuu watched as his and his clone’s attacks missed, but only due to someone sending a powerful gust of wind towards Itsuki, blowing him away and stopping all three of their assaults after he was blown away, making sure not to stab one another. When Itsuki was out of range of the attacks, Ryuu looked over at the man, not seeing him as the man quickly disappeared. He heard the female higher-up announce that Ryuu was the winner of the fight and to wait to see who was promoted, something that made his eyes widen slightly before dismissing his hold on his Water Clones, watching them fall into water before him before seeing Itsuki making his way towards him and made eye-contact with Ryuu. He saw Itsuki’s right hand extend out towards him before speaking to him about attacking differently; the gesture made Ryuu smirk slightly underneath his rebreather before he sheathed his Dragon’s Fang and took Itsuki’s hand in his own as he shook his hand. He heard Itsuki talk about next time having a different plan, which made Ryuu chuckle quietly before letting go of his hand and moving his hand back down to his side, which Itsuki did as well before seeing Itsuki made his way off of the arena and back towards the bleachers. Ryuu stood there for a second before a smile spread across his face, appearing only under his rebreather before he stepped off of the arena and made his way over to the bleachers where Kazuko and Kazuki were, taking his place back on the bleachers as he sat behind them both and waited for the announcement on who was promoted.*
 UnaruInuzuka: -Watching the last portion of the fight only had him nod his head slightly as if to a thought of all his own before he noticed Ritsuka raise to his feet to stretch his expression blank as he let his eyes roam over that form a moment. He glanced to the raised platform when the comment of the ones waiting on finding out if they passed or not should wait on a anouncment just before he noticed Ritsuka move a hand in offer to help him up. He shifted his pups off his lap and took the hand and stood before turning and rubbing the back of his neck they both at the bottom of the stands and he let his eyes roam over everyone there before turning to his pups rubbing their ears as he waited his shoulder actually unconsiously touching Ritsuka lightly having been withdrawn recently and not really wanting such actions of his to ruin anything between them.-
Kagato: -Kagato waited until the arena was clear he watched as the two genin shook hands and then made their way back to the bleachers. Kagato waited so that he could have everyone’s full attention before he could make the announcement at least for the Amegakure side. Kagato slowly got up from his seat and made his way over slowly to the edge of the metal platform. His black opened toed shoes hitting the metal platform with a slight thudding sound each time he stepped. Once he reached where Itsumo was standing he moved off to the right of her and then placed his right and left hands behind his back and clasped them together holding there as he looked out upon the arena that was the Genin’s battle field for the duration of these exams. Kagato parted his lips slowly his tone of voice metallic in nature as his words echoed a crossed the arena – “The last three days that youns all spent here were to test all of your own skills pitting you against each other so you got the chance to show these skills off in the view of not only your peers and equals but other hidden villages as well. I would like to congratulate all that you participated in this year’s exams I am sure that it was a hard road to get even this far but each one of you have and stand here or rather sit here as some are you are doing path this point today….” – Kagato paused for a moment letting what he said sink in for a moment before speaking again. – “The graduating class of chunin this year for Amegakure No Sato…. Are as follows…...Starting off with the winner of the Exams Ryuu…which congratulations by for making it the whole way through…...not going to lie I didn’t foresee that outcome…but congratulations are in order none the less… Next Inkuato Itsuki you made it to the final round though you didn’t win you still showed enough skill to warrant this… Inuzuka Unaru…. Your skill as well made this ascension possible…... Geikami Kazuki… you and Uzumaki Kazuko both passed even with having to fight each other proved to us that youns were willing to go all out…even though you had to fight against your teammates…. Kaguya Fumetsu…even those you had the loss of your Jounin leader you still took part in the exams and exceeded all expectations…. And finally Nara Ban…. All of you have impressed me today and I would like to be the first to congratulate all of you for making it the next rank…...” - Kagato paused for another moment and waited for it all to sink in once again. - “ After the other Shinobi’s from the Yonshigakure youns all are free to leave….
IlLucianlI: *Hugs una tightly once his named had been called, giving him a light nuzzle before puling back and smirking at him beneath his rebreather and speaking* "Congratulations Unaru".*
IItsumo:*Itusmo moved slightly aside as Kagato moved to the front of the platform to join her this way they were both now splitting the center of the platform. She listened as he listed off all the genin whom where now chunin she noted that all of them had passed the exams. Itsumo then waited till he stated that they could leave after the annoucment of the Yonshigakure genin promotions. She had less genin by far and now even more so with one missing and the other she stopped and spoke.* “Yuki Jinta you have been promoted to chunin level Everyone showed great skill you are all free to go.”
UnaruInuzuka: -Unaru had heard the sound of foot falls on the top stand and had come to turn to face it listening quietly to the Amekage. Honestly he seemed to pause at the anouncment when his name had been called, he had been unsure when he had mostly lost it that first round that he wouldn't be looked at unless he showed some promise, which with how it ended had doubted, however there it was, his name being called, of course he also noticed the rest getting called as well just as Ritsuka had swept him up into a hug and the extra affectionary nuzzle before pulling back and congradulating him he couldn't help the small unnoticed upward curve of his lips from forming as tension eased from him for once.-
== Conclusion: ==
Ryuu won the match. Promotions where announced all those whom participated and actually fought were promoted to chunin.
