Chunin Exams: Daisuke vs Ryota

Chunin Exams: Daisuke vs Ryota
  Ryota: -The Chunin Exams had finally begun for Ryota and Daisuke. This was the very last of the Exams seeing as both Ryo’s friends Grey and Misyuki had already sparred. Miyuki came out victorious from what he had heard from around the village. Ryo was in all honesty a bit surprised that Grey hadn’t won. Grey wasn’t the type to boast about his ability but he did seem like the type of guy to hold a lot of power. Ryo was on his way towards the Arena, he was to face Daisuke. Ryo was a bit scared in all nervous in all honesty, he knew Daisuke was a Senju, which meant his chakra pool was a bit larger, though Ryo had Senju in his blood as well but he wasn’t for sure if his Chakra Pool was large. Ryo thought and thought again on how he was going to possibly take on a qualified Genin with an Earth Affinity. Ryo had a Water Affinity, which didn’t help him whatsoever, for all he could imagine was that him and Daisuke might be fighting in the mud like a bunch of pigs. Taijutsu wasn’t a specialty of Ryo’s but he was at least capable. It was becoming over-whelming, Ryo could of course just turn back now and quit being a Ninja. But he wouldn’t he couldn’t, if he punked out it would just bring shame upon his title as an Uzumaki. He knew he had to fight, because he was to be the one to rebuild Uzushiogakure, he was going to restore his clan to their rightful power, and he damned all those whom took down and slaughtered them in the First Great Shinobi War. Ryo hadn’t realized it but he was now at the entrance of the Arena. A rather large looking Jounin was staring down at him with a bit of a grin on his face, it was smuggish. He then spoke to Ryo in the richest way a man could, “Ready to get your ass kicked in front of the whole village?” Ryo glared at him before saying out loud “The only person whose ass is getting kicked is Daisuke’s! You’ll see, you will all see…” The man just laughed and nodded, “I like your attitude, prove us all wrong will you?” Ryo smirked and nodded before the man stood aside, allowing him entry. Ryo entered, and slowly walked onto the Arena. He saw that everyone was pretty much here, from his Sensei, to Misaki and her squad. Though as Ryo looked forward, there standing on the opposite end of the field was Daisuke. His arms were crossed, no fear was shown on his face, nothing but a battle ready scowl. Ryo shivered a bit. Daisuke looked as if he was about ready to murder Ryo. But he knew that wouldn’t be allowed whatsoever. Ryo reached down and began to check his pouches, they were both full of Shuriken and Kunai, to the maximum capacity of 20. Ryo took a deep breath before staring Daisuke in the eye. He then spoke, “I never thought I’d be standing here to fight you, of all people. But you’re not going to stop be from achieving my goals. I will one day become the Soul Leader of the Uzumaki’s. Uzushiogakure will be rebuilt again.” Ryo didn’t show any emotion in his face before slowly sliding his right foot back, and bending his left knee a little. He tucked his right fist into his stomach before lifting his left arm above him in a defensive position. He then said his Nindo in a calm voice, “If you wish to fight me then you better be prepared to kill me.”   Daisuke: -A warm light of orange flooded into my bedroom from the open window, causing my eyes to pick up some of it, as my body was currently facing it. I shook my head lightly in the process of waking up, and finally opened my eyes. I yawned lightly after sliding off the sheets and sitting up, followed by some light stretching before standing up and heading to the kitchen, not bothering to put on clothes just yet. I grabbed a few slices of bread, also grabbing some miso soup from the previous day’s dinner. I sat down at my dining table, and slowly ate the food while giving myself some time to wake up. Once that was finished, I got up and went back toward my room. Instead of entering it though, I opened the door to the left, which was between the kitchen and bedroom, in a short hallway. I sat upon the toilet and relieved myself, wiped my rear, dropped the used toilet paper into the toilet, and walked over to the sink, where I washed my hands. Once that was done and my hands were clean and dry and there was no hand-soap left on them, I wet them again and ran my fingers through my black hair, giving a very minor wash before finally exiting the bathroom and moving on back to my bedroom. Today was an extremely important day, and so I’d moved quickly so as not to be late, actually hoping to arrive earlier than my opponent. I closed my bedroom door behind me, of course after opening it to enter, and walked toward the large chest at the foot of my bed. I knelt over and opened the wooden chest, which contained all of my ninja equipment. I quickly removed and slipped into my black shinobi pants from said chest, which were standard issue, followed by my black open-toed shinobi boots, which were as well. I wrapped a long stretch of white bandages around my upper right thigh, fastened my black tool box around my right leg atop the bandages, threw the red cloth sash around my waist, fastened my black belt around my waist as well, slipped my black tool pouch on the back of the belt along with two small jutsu scrolls on the right side of the belt at my hip, and slid my open-ended black sheath through the belt. An open-ended sheath was a rather stupid idea to almost every other person, but for me, it had a purpose. The last two items in my equipment chest were two short chokuto, only being about 2 and a half feet long, with a 2 foot blade and 6 inch hilt. The sheath was exactly 4 feet long, and when each of the chokuto had been inserted to both of the open ends, the tips of the blade met perfectly as the chokuto were locked in place in the sheath. With my equipment handled, I closed the box, and walked over to my dresser, opening the first drawer. Luckily, I had one more clean bandage wrap left. With a silent nod to myself, I reached in for the clean one that was on the right side of the drawer, opposite to the dirty ones, and quickly wrapped it around my entire torso from my waist, to my neck, and all the way to my wrists. After taking a moment to check my tools, having forgot to when I put the pouch and tool box on, I confirmed that the pouch had 2 kunai, 2 smoke bombs, a paper bomb, and 6 makibishi. Of course, there were multiple inside pockets so that nothing got ripped or mixed up. The bombs where in one pocket, while the makibishi were in another. The kunai were in two little holsters above both of the pockets, keeping them in easy reach. The tool box on my leg had the remaining 3 kunai, as well as 10 shuriken. Like the pouch, they were in separate areas of the box as well. With the tools confirmed, I grabbed my Konohagakure Forehead Protector, the sign of a shinobi, and quickly made my way out of my bedroom window, which saw more use than my front door, dropping down to the nearly empty street below. I waved in apology at the people I nearly landed on, speeding through the streets as I made my way to the Chuunin Exam Finals arena. As I got closer to it, I started to smile uncontrollably, the weight of the excitement was simply overwhelming me. I could feel each beat of my heart as I ran towards the entrance that was now in sight. Ba-dump. Ba-dump. Ba-dump. I slowly felt my heart throb harder, and it even started to look like everything, including myself, was moving slower. With a single deep breath, I fought off the feeling and stopped at the entrance, raising a hand in greeting to the Jounin standing at the entrance. He nodded in reply, and I could feel his eyes piercing through me, as if looking into my very soul, clearly being appraised by the man. He smiled lightly, seemingly satisfied with what he’d seen, and replied verbally to my greeting.- “Good day, Daisuke. Good luck to you.” –With the simple greeting out of the way, he stepped aside and let me enter. I took another deep breath, calming the nerves that were starting to waver at the pressure that was building up. I was right there. My match would be beginning soon. Those simple facts started invading my mind, giving a feeling as if it was out of reach, making me wonder if I would ever be able to get there. I took my final calming breath, pushing aside every unnecessary thought. I surely had an advantage against Ryo; that much was undisputable. However, it was the job of a shinobi to overcome disadvantage, and the thought of the exhilaration from the soon-to-start fight was all that I wanted to think about. With a faint smile, I walked through the entrance, where the sun shone down from above the stands, illuminating everything. I looked around as I walked toward the center, and Ryo was not around.- “So I’m first to arrive, then.” –With the faint smile remaining on my lips, I walked to the other side of the arena, looking around at the audience, which was completely filled with people. It was rather quiet at the moment, but once the fight began, they were sure to get a bit noisier as they cheered for either myself or Ryo. Once I reached the other side of the arena, I turned back toward the entrance, taking the time until Ryo arrived to steel myself and my resolve. Just a few minutes later, I caught sight of my opponent coming through the entrance. My smile grew a bit more pronounced, but was still quite faint despite that. I could feel my heart beating again, and my smile disappeared, as I was forcibly trying to calm myself down. Finally, Ryo stopped his movement. He was about 20 feet away now, and he seemed slightly nervous to me. He quickly began speaking, looking me in the eye, and going on about his usual speech, expressing his desire and self-imposed duty to revive Uzushiogakure, the long dead homeland of the Uzumaki Clan. His speech brought my excited smile back. Despite his nervousness, Ryo seemed fully intent on winning this match.- “Well then, Ryo. Let’s see which dream is stronger. Your dream to revive your ancestral homeland, or my dream to protect the homeland of my own people. Now, what do you say we have some fun?” –With a light excited laugh, I dropped down into my fighting stance, raising my left arm in a 90 degree angle pointed at the sky, my body twisted slightly to the right, my left arm tucked into my right side, my left leg was pointed forward, almost perfectly aligned with my left arm, being at about a 100 degree angle. Finally, my right leg was drawn back a bit, with my foot pointing at 90 degrees to my left foot, which was pointing straight toward Ryo. My stance was solid, there were no shakes and my body weight was distributed equally. I was a young man of 13 with pitch black hair and lightly tanned white skin. My eyes were a dark brown that reflected the earth that I was so accustomed to fighting with, and held a fire in them that could actually give the impression that my eyes were a fiery orange, despite clearly being brown. My smile rose one final time, ready to raise the curtains on the first fight that would determine whether or not I would be promoted to Chuunin.-  Ryota: -Ryo didn’t smile, not a single emotion was upon his face. He was determined. He knew that Daisuke was a lot stronger no doubt. Ryo was at a disadvantage but he’d have to try, he wasn’t going to just quit. He began to size Daisuke up, trying to find a weak point to aim at, but there did not seem to be one at all. Not a word from the crowd could be heard. He supposed they were all waiting with baited breath, to see who would succeed in this match, either him or Daisuke. Ryo decided on his first attack, quickly he scooted back and jumped into the air , approximelly about 4-5 ft. Whilst in mid-air Ryo reached down and dug into his side pouch and pulled out 3 kunai, locking them into the gaps of his fingers. He then threw them towards Daisuke’s feet at a 89 mph speed, hoping he’d jump back in reflex. As the Kunai left Ryo’s hand he quickly put his hands together and began to form the hand signs (Ram, Tiger), as he summoned up his Chakra, the feeling of its coldness swirling in his stomach as it quickly shot up to his mouth. Ryo said out loud, “Water Style: Starch Syrup Capture Field!”, Ryo opened his mouth wide as Water began gushing out of his mouth with a “Sploosh” sound. It sprayed the ground in front of Daisuke, quickly spreading out about 10 yards wide and 5 yards long. The water was clear of course but it wasn’t ordinary water, this water was what most ninjas called “Water Candy”, it is very sticky and can inhibit a user’s movement, and stop there area of activity. The water could also be manipulated by Chakra to move up walls. The water slowly ceased from coming out of Ryo’s mouth as Ryo fell to the ground, landing with ease on his feet. He quickly crouched down and pulled out a kunai, holding it in a reverse grip in his right hand for defense. Ryo then formed a single tiger seal in his left hand and began to summon up chakra so that he would have enough to manipulate his Sticky Water as he pleased. He then looked up at Daisuke and eyed him carefully, trying to see how he would comprehend with this adhesive trap.-  Daisuke: -Finally, the fight started. After a few moments of silently sizing each other up, Ryo made the first move. He quickly fell back and jumped into the air, removing a few kunai from his pouch and throwing them toward me with one hand. Before the kunai even came close to reaching me, Ryo had begun forming some hand seals, making slightly cautious. However, it didn’t change my plan, which was to get in close and fight while conserving chakra. It was basic combat theory to me, and was something I did whether on a mission or in training. So to start with, I simply ran directly at the Kunai, and just before they would hit me, I strafed to the left, letting them pass by me without taking from my approach speed. By then though, Ryo’s jutsu, which he kindly shouted out for me to hear, was released. And I say released because the sticky liquid shot out from his mouth, spraying the ground between me and Ryo. With a strong jump, I flew up about 5 feet into the air, and with my speed, right over the goopy water. At this point, Ryo was seemingly building up chakra after taking out a kunai, but the distance between us was reduced considerably. I landed about 6 feet behind Ryo, having over jumped a little, first landing by essentially ramming my left foot toward the ground at an angle, allowing the momentum left from jumping to spin my body back around to face Ryo. Without stopping, I quickly pushed off again, using the momentum of the spin to get a bit higher acceleration, and getting into my usual taijutsu stance mid-leap. Again, I thrust my left foot to the ground, using even more of a momentum transfer to sling my upper body forward, throwing a full power punch aimed straight at Ryo’s chest, aiming to either knock him back into his own jutsu, or a mix of that and forcing all of his breath out of his lungs, leaving him gasping for air. If Ryo were to dodge though, all I would have to do is thrust my right foot into the ground to stop from slinging myself forward, where I would then jump backwards and to my right to stay away from his jutsu, which I knew to be controllable. Of course, if Ryo had instead opted to block my attack, it would still likely push him back quite a bit, seeing as my clever use of momentum would make my punch roughly twice as strong as normal.-  Ryota -Ryo looked at Daisuke and watched him jump into the air and at Ryo, before Ryo had any time to act Daisuke was already behind him. Ryo quickly stood up and saw Daisuke take off at him, he was surely quick and that could be deadly in situations. As Daisuke threw his punch Ryo quickly jumped to the left, avoiding his attempted punch towards his chest, as Ryo kept leaping 5 ft to the left. Daisuke was fast but Ryo noticed he slowed down just a bit to put momentum into his punches and leaps. Ryo did see this as a small advantage but the problem remained that he was fast on ground. Ryo put his hands together and summoned up chakra to manipulate the water to circle around him, 7 yards wide and long. This would prevent Daisuke from trying to get take Ryo on at head on attacks, even if Daisuke jumped at Ryo he’d still have to avoid not getting stuck in Ryo’s water. Ryo watched Daisuke’s move one more as he felt his heart beating, this was becoming a bit frustrating. He couldn’t take on Daisuke with Taijutsu, that’d be just like running into walls, but if Ryo was able to immobilize Daisuke then Ryo could begin to start landing attacks on him. Ryo would of course have to trick Daisuke, which would be a bit tricky, because Daisuke was no idiot and had a high intelligence, even in the academy it was high.-  Daisuke: -As expected, Ryo dodged. Whether my chance or if it was thought out, he went in the direction my back was facing, getting into what seemed to be an advantageous position. However, that was not the case at all. The whole point of a fighting style based on momentum was that it was quick to adapt to situations, and was extremely hard to get away from. That being said, Ryo had fallen into that very chain. Just as Ryo dodged my punch, I slammed my right foot into the ground, letting my downward momentum from the punch cock back my leg like a spring, where I then pushed off following right behind Ryo, not giving him a chance to manipulate his water. Ryo would land 5ft away from where he dodged my punch, and I would land right in front of him not even a second later. However, as I’d pushed off, I also spun my body around a bit, of course so that I could face Ryo instead of trying to fight with him behind me, which would just be insane. During the spin, I also removed a kunai from my tool pouch, held in my right hand. Just after landing on my left foot though, I let my left leg bend a bit, and thrust a kick aimed at Ryo’s stomach with my right leg. At the same time, I would be ready to throw my kunai at Ryo should he attempt to dodge, and at close range and mid-dodge, that would likely force him to block, unless he had the power of miracles at his side. Should he attempt to attack my leg with his kunai, I would also throw the kunai I held, but of course aimed at one of his vitals, the exact target would depend on the distance from his own kunai, making sure that if he tried to attack my leg with his kunai, it would leave him defenseless to mine.-  Ryota: -This was bad for Ryo, he stopped him in the midst of trying to prevent him from getting into an advantage point. Ryo gripping his kunai hard as Daisuke was right in front of him and spinning. He noticed Daisuke taking out a kunai, but before Ryo could even think about what Daisuke was about to do, he saw him bending his left leg which meant to Ryo that he was about to try to kick him with his Right. Ryo quickly jumped into the air about a ft above Daisuke’s head before he forced himself to front flip and bring his left foot down upon Daisuke’s head whilst yelling out, “Uzumaki Crown Of The Head!” Though if Daisuke were to dodge as expected then Ryo would easily land on his feet and turn to face him in whatever direction he dodged in. If Daisuke had the idea to stab Ryo in the leg, which is what Ryo really did expect him to do, Daisuke would have to take time to drag the Kunai in his leg, which would give Ryo the chance to twist his body and slam his fist into his upper abdomen-   Daisuke: -Ryo jumped just before I let off my kick, apparently not having noticed my kunai. As planned, I quickly threw the kunai, which then hit Ryo in the back as he was flipping. It missed his vitals due to the movement of his flip, but it stabbed deeply into his undefended back, with just the handle sticking out of his clothes. Blood squirted out of the small slit in his clothes, coloring it red as some escaped down to the ground beneath us. As his kick flip was still going, it was likely that I still had his hammer kick to deal with. Just in case, I raised my left arm to block the kick if it came, while at the same time using my bent left leg to jump up at Ryo. If his kick was indeed still coming, this would likely make him flip backwards due to him being open from the kunai hitting him and the upwards push from the jump. If he did flip backwards, I would take a moment to retrieve my kunai from his back, opening up the wound’s blood flow. Following that, I would also try once more to kick him with my right leg, in midair this time. If however he managed to stop his kick, I would jump back and get away from both Ryo and the water, hanging back simply to assess the damage to him.-  Ryota: -Ryo’s eyes widened as he felt his kunai sink deep into his back, a grunt escaped his lips as he felt cold inside, he had to be bleeding. He couldn’t feel anything punctured, not an organ or a vital but Ryo was of now pissed, he tucked in his legs and continued flipping until he landed on his feet, about 4 ft behind Daisuke. Ryo quickly took out 3 shuriken as he threw them towards Daisuke’s back in pay back before, but Ryo now learned his lesson. Stay on top of him, letting him get on top of Ryo is bad. Ryo quickly took off towards Daisuke, knowing he’d dodge the shuriken, Ryo just had to interpret wether he’d jump, or dodge from left to right, jumping back wouldn’t help him. But Ryo was determined to keep on top of him, play time was over, it was time for some punishment.-  Daisuke: -As I saw Ryo tuck in and stop his kick, I quickly jumped back, unknowingly foiling his plan of landing behind me. I quickly surveyed the area around both myself and Ryo, noting that we were still more or less in the center of the arena, a fair distance from both the trees and the walls surrounding us. Ryo was still near his goopy water from his earlier jutsu, and so fighting with the now-enraged Ryo was likely to be a bad idea, at least near his water. So instead of rushing forward like I had before, my next strategy was to simply let him wear himself out. With a deep wound like what I’d given him with the kunai, it was only a matter of time before the blood loss and physical exhaustion would overwhelm him. With that in mind, I simply formed the Snake hand sign and placed my right hand on the ground. At the exact moment my hand touched the ground, 8 spiders made of rock and mud rose from the ground, each about the size of the average adult’s hand. Two of them jumped up onto my shoulders, while the other 6 spread out and mad their way towards Ryo, attempting to surround him from the front, left, and right. In doing so, Ryo’s back would be open, but at the same time, his water was behind him as well. He was effectively surrounded. Of course he could also try and manipulate the water to attack the spiders, but it would likely be too slow to catch all of them, and it would also take more chakra to do so, still being effective in wearing him down, which was my current objective.-  Ryota: -Ryo eyed the spiders, but it didn’t phase him, what phased him was the slow blood loss that was getting to him. He had no way of healing himself. Ryo growled before slamming his hands together forming the Tiger Seal as he began summoning up chakra, whilst yelling loudly. His chakra color of Red would begin to form around his whole body. After summoning up his chakra a loud puff of smoke puffed up in front of him as he began to body flicker towards Daisuke. But Ryo had met his match, his eyes began to get blurry as he slowly passed out from blood loss. He fell to his knees as his face hit the ground. He was done. He was bleeding badly, that kunai might not of had hit a vital but it was pretty fatal do to the deepness. He had lost, Lost to the person he had been determined to beat. But would he give up? No. One loss wasn’t going to put him down, he was going to become stronger and stronger, even if he was put back into the Academy, he wouldn’t give up.-  Daisuke: -Ryo disappeared in a puff of smoke, seemingly using the Body Flicker Technique, but that was only for a moment. As if falling out of the flicker, he stopped and dropped to his knees, then fell forward. At this point, the proctor stepped forward and stopped the match. I blinked a few times in surprise, then dispelled my jutsu and hurried over to Ryo, making sure he was okay. He was thankfully just unconscious, and he was quickly taken away by the medics that came out from the inside of the arena walls. The crowd was cheering at this point, and it was definitely a good fight, at least for me. I smiled faintly and bowed to the crowd, before finally heading over to where Ryo was being treated, just to get a basic check-up. I hadn’t been injured, but it was a sort of “just in case” that had no real meaning other than to satisfy the medics.-
