## Kaiiaki Kuriustaru vs Kuyo Inazuma

AlphaRai:Seems like this wasn't the last time she was going to see these bunch of nuggets running around doing what they need to do. Auru was once again placed in a situation to look over another exam, relieving the proctor, Yuko Aburame. Even though she wasn't there for the first match, she at least knew that one of her genin didn't really succeed in beating his opponent. Well, bugs are annoying as it is anyways. Though she didn't plan to be here at all, the next match would be something that needed to be watched over with care. Eden should have been here, the little blonde genin would have put things to ease if anything went wrong. But all they had was a short jonin who only hopes if she has to step in, it won't turn even worse. Her luck with things getting worse was probably as bad as trying to comb through her hair in the mornings. No luck. As she stood off to the side, readying herself to announce who would be next. Auru cleared her mind with a deep breath so her voice came out calmly. "Next we have Kuyo Inazuma and... Kaiiaki Kurisutaru." She in fact did pause before her own student's name, she had not even said her name out loud before until then. Her thoughts were becoming distracting again even when her gaze moved onto the middle of arena. "Make your way to the center and you may begin." She had no speech and no luck for her student. All she had was a calm gaze and the hope everything goes smoothly for once.

PezDispenser:"pffffffhahahahahahhahahahha, Sai my boy, i knew you had it in you, just didn’t know why you took so long" -Kuyo slapped himself on the thighs, chuckling heartily as he slowly stood up, beginning to make his way towards the center of the arena. He had a sneaking suspicion after all the intel he had been provided and spying he had done himself on his opponent, this would not be nearly as fun as watching Sairento bring home the W for team 1. Once again Kuyo’s luck had failed him, if he had been lucky enough to face his partner, or even Ari, he would have an easy time due to his chakra nature having an edge on both of theirs, fish stick on the other hand, she could pose a problem, especially with that damn fox inside her, luckily for Kuyo, he still have a few Aces in the hole. He walked forward slowly, his hands loosening the clips on his arm guards ever so slightly as he walked toward his squadmate.- "Shin-sensei would be proud" -Kuyo gave one of his little half smiles and offered up a fistbump for Jinx, before then turning his attention to the imp with the mouth, his arms crossed over his chest, his smile still visible, only now you could tell looking in his eyes that he was analyzing her from head to toe- "why is it that the lookers are always insane?" -he muttered out loud as he viewed the ground, still slightly doused with Ari’s electrolyte water, provoking a small grin from the young shinobi. Kuyo was a strategist, always the one to make the smart decision, the one that applied the least resistance, his mind told him to cut his loses, although he knew how to easily deal with her Crystal Release, he had no counter for her very convenient fox smoldering inside- “let's make this a good fight, i have no intention of running just yet”

Kaiiaki: -For a moment, Kaiiaki couldn't believe what she was seeing. Her teammate Ari losing to someone with such daft skill? The words that he had used, begging his opponent to stop his pummeling assaults. It made her sick with anger. "Such weakness..." Kaiiaki was gritting her teeth, slowing grinding them back and forth. Her hands began to shake with the amount of power and chakra radiating inside of her body. ~9 tails...I might need you in this.~ Kaiiaki spoke through her mind, deep into her subconscious where the beast lay dormant. The beast cackled with a sick sort of satisfied laughter. "*Oh Kaiiaki...power is what you want...is it?"* More cackling from the beast as he looked at Kaiiaki's serious expression, no emotion displayed on her face. ~Shut. Up. I just MIGHT need it. Do not underestimate what I can do on my own without your help. I want to win and I will do anything it takes to do it. I will call you if I need you.~ With that, Kaiiaki shut off the communication between her and the fox within. She popped back into reality, realizing that she had been pulling at the pastel purple hair on her head. Her eyes still remained their cold grey color. But who knows how long it would be before their colors turned the color of crimson. Which would depict the beast's influence in her actions. The Fox demanded blood, and she knew she had better deliver with this boy, or face the pain in her mind. Still pulling slightly at her pastel braids somewhat, she stood up from the bench set aside for spectators. Slowly, she walked towards her opponent from a distance of 50 feet. He was looking at her up and down like she was something he wanted to eat for dessert. ~What a sicko~ She thought to herself, and figured she ought to ruffle his feathers up a bit. "You should be scared of me if you are not already." She said in a cold voice. It was enough to chill the bones of a corpse. -

PezDispenser:"Actually yes, I do fear you, any ninja worth their salt needs to know when they're in danger, but i dont fear you" -Kuyo unfolded his arms, cracking his neck left to right, flexing back his shoulders with another loud pop- "I fear the beast inside you, and i have a sneaking suspicion that you do too, you fear that your body is no longer under your control, that what's sealed inside you is really the one calling the shots" -Kuyo paused, slamming his fists together, his palms facing down, as in an instant his entire body turned to metal. His eyes slowly opening, glossy and metallic as the familiar numbing of his body occured, like a cold breeze flowing through his body starting at his hands- "what are you Kaiiaki Kurisutaru? the puppetmaster, or a puppet? will you give in to the fox inside you? proving that your nothing without his assistance? Or will you show that you dont need him to win?" -Kuyo proceeded to get into an agressive stance, forming a quick series of hand signs and extending his palm, pointed towards Kaiiaki- "so technically, i dont fear you, i fear the one really pulling your strings. Are you going to prove me wrong?" -Kuyo spoke in a stern and unwaivering voice as suddenly he unleashed a Lightning Release: Lightning Signal Flare from his palm blasting towards Kaiiaki, due to the darkness she had been sitting in for the past several hours, the sudden flash of lightning chakra speeding towards her would be blinding, filling her entire frame of vision in a blinding white light, while Kuyo on the other hand didnt need to use his eyes yet, he had a firm sense of exactly where she was due to his metallic "ecolocation" sense of her weapons on her person. If struck by the blast, Kaiiaki would be severely electrocuted and left unable to move with locked muscles, if somehow able to dodge, the flare would explode, unleashing yet another blinding light, and sending shrapnel and a concussive wave in every direction, , if somehow she was lucky enough to dodge both, her vision would still be covered in a giant splotches of orange and blue tints, like staring at the sun for too long. Kuyo would immediately roll and dash 20 meters to his right after launching the blast, flicking his wrist down, it would reveal 3 kunai that had fallen out of his arm gauntlet and into his hand, one between each of his main 4 fingers.-

Kaiiaki:- "Could you be any more obvious?" Kaiiaki cackled, a shrill impish voice echoeing into the air. She closed her eyes for a split second as she laughed. ~The one that is really calling the shots. That is a good one.~ She opened her eyes again, but this time, they were the crimson eyes of the Fox. It was no longer her eyes looking at his body which was transforming into what looked like metal. The glint of the color was enough to tell her that he had encased himself in some sort of metal jutsu. She had heard of such a thing called Steel Release before, but had only heard the name. Her crimson eyes stared at the boy thinking he had her in the palm of his hand. "Look here you hairy little freak. **I** am the one that calls the shots here. I am the one that makes the threats and intimidations. You think you can scare me? Well haha, you are talking to the wrong girl. I am the one that hides under your bed. I am the nightmares that you have. I am evil in essence. I know every little trick an afraid little boy can play. What you are playing at is child's play compared to what I do and have done." A wicked smile began to spread across her purple lips. Kaiiaki could control herself up to about 3 tails at this point. She would have to get in some more practice, but so far so good. And the little twit didn't need to know any more about her than what she had already said aloud. She noticed he was now making a few handsigns, and a burst of light appeared at the end of the handsigns. It had been dark for so long in the night-time arena. However, Kaiiaki's grey eyes had been adjusted to that darkness. And it was the Crimson eyes that were taking over for the moment. It wouldn't affect her as much with these demon's eyes if it would with her own grey eyes. Kaiiaki closed her crimson eyes, she could hear the flare coming towards her. And she had to react automatically. She quickly mixed her chakra with the molecules in the air, instantly forming a protective Crystal Thorn Branched Cocoon in front of her. It would be thick enough to obtain the blast, about 6 feet in width and 7 feet in height. It was a lightning jutsu, so she was sure it would cut right through. However, it would slow it down to give Kaiiaki enough time to do what she was going to do next. Kaiiaki pounced up into the air, and over to what she thought felt like had been the direction Kuyo had just been standing in before he released this jutsu. She couldn't open her eyes yet, she didn't want to be blinded by the light of the jutsu. Instead, she directed her chakra to form another crystal cocoon in the same size of the previous one. But this time, it would be encompassed completely around her body. This would protect her from the shrapnel that would inevitably come from the lightning flare exploding at the end of cutting through her first crystal cocoon. It didn't take long, she heard the screeching sound of the lightning cutting through her precious crystal as if it were a piece of cake. Then, the sound of the explosion pounded against her eardrums. It could almost mask the sounds of the shrapnel pelting against her crystal cocoon, keeping herself from the aftershock. But now that she had defended herself, it was time to do some counterattacking. "Alright. Prepare to meet your maker." Kaiiaki whispered coolly as she opened her eyes once again. Kuyo appeared to be running to his right now, with something grasped tightly in his hand. He wasn't very far off from where the first crystal cocoon had once been before the explosion. Kaiiaki had landed over to the left a little more than she wanted, she realized. But at least she had been out of the way. Kaiiaki was about 50 feet off from the charred arena from the attack off in the east direction. The opposite direction of Kuyo was in. She wasn't going to let him get away with trying another attack on her like that one. While within the crystal cocoon, Kaiiaki formed the handsigns: Ram → Dog → Monkey. "Crystal Release: Jade Crystal Mirror." She spoke in an impish whisper. Then she immediately opened her palms to form her chakra with the molecules within the air. Within a few seconds, she had formed the glinting of a mirror formed in the shape of a snowflake. It looked to be about 3 feet in height and length. It wasn't very big, but then again it didn't need to be. It only needed to be big enough for her clones to squeeze out of. Kaiiaki then made the handsigns:Horse → Ram. "Jade Crystal Clone." Kaiiaki once again whispered. One after another, Kaiiaki's clones crowded into the coccoon. 3 of them came out of the mirror in total. And these clones weren't the academy version of a clone. They were crystal clones. Which met they were about identical to the type of water clones and earth clones. She nodded at them, communicating with them internally about what they were to do. They each pulled out 2 shuriken from their pouches, and attached a single paper bomb to the individual shuriken. Kaiiaki did the same thing as well. She held the small shuriken covered with paper bombs within her right hand.Kaiiaki waved her arm across the front of the Crystal cocoon so herself and the clones would be able to esape the confines of it for now. One clone pounced over and landed at the north part of the arena. Kaiiaki herself stayed at the east part of the arena. The second clone pounced to the south of the arena. And the third clone at the west part. No doubt Kuyo would soon be barreling into the clone at the south. It appeared as if they were about 5 feet apart, unless Kuyo decided to change his direction at the last second. Each of the look alikes and Kaiiaki crouched down on the ground, placing the shuriken unto the ground. If Kuyo attempted to attack any of the clones or herself, each of them would slide their second shuriken to the right, causing each shuriken to bounce off of each other and create a sort of pinball machine effect with paper bombs liable to go off at any second. Of course, Kaiiaki could protect herself with crystal, but she wasn't so sure about how steel would do against exploding fire.-

PezDispensor:: : "never an easy day eh?" -Kuyo muttered to himself as he though of his next move, quickly throwing together a pair of handsigns, Kuyo activated his Steel Release: Steel Projectile, essentially ''catching" the armed shurikens in mid air, with the flick of his hands, the 4 travelled back to its owners, only none went back to the southern clone, its and Kai's primed shuriken both aimed for Kai, slightly to the left and right of her. Kuyo instead did not change directions, barrelling straight towards the last clone to the south, pulling back his fist in mid leap, Kuyo punched for the crystal clone's chest, his fist striking it directly below the sturnum, the upper half of the clone shattering into thousands of little pieces as the bottem half crumpled to the ground, Kuyo continuing through the strike, not trusting that the imp might not use the shards he just created as weapons and dashed across the arena, ending his dash with a leap up onto the side of one of the massive stone pillars in the area, using his chakra to stick to the stone like glue-

------------------------------Kuyo Disqualified------------------------------------------

Kaiiaki: -After what seemed to be a much shorter fight than what she had expected, Kaiiaki was finished. The kid didn't know what he had coming to him. She almost felt sorry for the poor sap. The nine tails was appeased as well. For now at least. The crimson eyes faded back into Kaiiaki's usually cold grey ones. She waved her right hand across the arena, dispersing any crystal clone and crystal thorns that lay left on the arena. They shattered into a beautiful amethyst dust before disintegrating. "Was there ever any doubt?" Kaiiaki smirked at the beaten Kuyo. She gave a brief grin of pride towards Auru. But then it vanished as quickly as it appeared. As Kaiiaki went back to her seat before they called for her again in the final round.-
