## Chunin Exams: Ari Junrei vs Sairento Aburame

KingTDSJ: -The young man smiled as he saw his two students arriving. A little late but at least they were there and that's all that mattered. He was interested in testing their growth against Team 2 this was a indirect way to see who was the better teacher out of he and Auru. He sighed and put on a more srious face as i t was time to focus on the task at hand. He looked at all of the genin as he projected his voice outward. "Alright this is the third and final portion of the chuunin exams, a one on one tournament. Rules are as follows: You are free to open up your array of weapons andd jutsu as you see pleased. The purpose of this event is to test your skills in one on one combat, that being said the goal is to take you opponent down by any means necessary. If that means killing them then by all means do it. Honesly I don't really care if you die but I'm obligated by the Kage to intervene if the situation gets too intense. Now I think you all get the idea of how serious this is..you are no longer friends when you step onto this arena, you are two shinobi engaged in combat. Leave that weak shit at the fucking gate and pick it up when you go home to your parents." His tone was loud and aggressive, complementing his deep voice to make the speech motivating and intimidating. He held up a scroll and read off the first bout. "The first match will be between Ari Junrei and Sariento Aburame. Please make your way to the center of the arena and the rest of you pleasse sit and spectate." He folded up the scroll and placed it in his pocket as he backed away from the center of the ring.

Andikins: {AJ} "Bluh." Of course he was in the first match. Ari moved from where he was to another side of the impromptu arena. He would wait for everyone to vacate the area before preparing with a few stretches this way and that. Sariento Aburame, the bug boy. "Well this is gonna be fun and a half. Hey Sairento!" He called the the Aburame from Team One, "It seems like it's gonna be you or me. No hard feelings either way alright?" He was pumped up and psyching himself up even more. Ari wasn't going to let any sort of negative emotion cloud his judgment and just keep that dopey smile on his face. {AJ}

Sai:~Sai~ The Aburame Genin sat on a bench that rested on the edge of the arena. Once his name was called he released a sigh from his lips as he looked over to his opponent. Ari Junrei, the water boy of Hoshigakure. After the other Genin called out to Sai, he shrugged his shoulders as he stood and made his way to the center of the arena. While walking to the center Sai had already began to take action. During the time it took him to get to the mid-point of the circular arena, he had released bugs from his body and surrounded both Ari and himself with insects.Do to the darkness the bugs would be difficult to see unless you focused chakra into your eyes. The only person who really could tell the positions of each insect was Sairento himself. He made sure that the beetles were crawling along the earth’s surface instead of creating a noise by flying. Once Sai made it to the center, the bugs had already surrounded both parties and this caused the young Aburame to grin. Sairento’s hands were now removed from his pockets and laying at his side ready for any sudden attack. “ Your right Ari, this will be fun and like you said No hard feelings. “ He said as his grin turned into a smile and the beetles slowly crept along ready to be signaled to attack. ~Sai~

KingTDSJ: Shin kept a straight face as he raised his hand, looking at the two genin to let them know the match was about to start. "Are you two done trying to seduce each other with words? Begin!" He said as he threw his arm down and qquickly jumped back a few yards to give them their own personal space and allow them to destroy each other.

Andikins:{AJ} Ari reached behind himself, drawing out the black baton dubbed Genbu from its casing behind his back, gripping the wooden tool firmly as he also reached down for some shuriken, three of them to be precise. He wanted to get a test of what was going on and quickly threw two of the shuirken, hiding one within the shadow of the other in the already dark room! The two shuriken were targeted at Sariento's left side as they flew in a wide arc to imbed in the guy. With the remaining shuriken, he threw it to arc toward Sariento's right side, even if the guy had moved to another spot. It was a simple tactic but he was getting ready for anything as the black baton in his hand wasn't too visible, it was hopefully going to be a surprise weapon. All of that was just to see how 'out' Sariento was willing to go. {AJ}

Sai:~Sai~ Sairento’s ability to move at a quick pace was greater than most in the village but instead of just dodging Sai wanted to stage an event. After Ari drew the shuriken Sai was already alerted of his opponent’s movements and even was aware of the baton and the three shuriken his foe had equipped. The reason behind this was because with the beetles surrounding both students, Sai had more than one source of eyes. Sairento’s field of vision was now 360 degrees around his person due to the help of his buggy buddies. However, Sai played along and acted as if he had no clue about the wooden weapon. After Ari released the shuriken from his grip, Sai had instantly drawn a Kunai from his pouch and twirled it around his index finger. With the bugs surrounding both ninja, the beetles instantly calculated the distance and speed of the flying objects and poured the information into their master’s head. Seeing how the master and his insects were like a single being it was easy to transmit thoughts and information to each other instantly. As the weapons were close to hitting Sai, he used the Kunai to knock the right shuriken from its course and gave him the opportunity to lean to the right and used the hilt of his katana to knock one of the shuriken to the earth floor while avoiding the one that was hidden. After leaning Sai threw the Kunai he had in his right hand and signaled for three bugs to flee around the area above, thus creating a distraction for Ari to worry about. ~Sai~

Andikins:{AJ} Well bluh. His attacks were easily defended against. Ari had to quickly surmise it was something related to the whole "Bug Boy" title that Sariento held. The Aburame used some sort of special bug right? Well regardless, he had a deadly knife coming his way that the guy threw at him! Well to be fair, Ari threw some shuriken. But their wider blades made it harder for them to make deep cuts, a kunai was more streamlined and thick, which would leave a bigger hole! That was just a dick move on Sariento's part. Well he quickly formed some handseals: Dragon monkey dragon tiger. Flowing Current. The kekkei genkai of his clan was being used against the kekkei genkai of the Aburame. His liver kicked into overdrive, pumping and filtering liquid as if it was a muscle he could control rather than an organ. That wasn't far from the truth thanks to the mutant muscle lining covering the liver of every Junrei clan member. With this he was able to quickly swing his arms backwards while moving more water to them to bring his body down quicker than possible for most shinobi above average caliber, and the flexibility he possessed was inhuman. All of the synovial fluid in his joints was more readily available in this state as well, letting him twist and bend with great finesse. Once he was like a crab on the ground and the kunai went overhead, Ari leapt upward and backwards, grabbing the kunai in hand while throwing both the baton and the kunai right back at the Aburame, utilizing the Shadow shuriken technique. With this the baton's path was hidden underneath the path of the kunai. And thanks to the dark and the technique, even the most well trained eyes would have troubles seeing it as Ari landed and started strafing while he held his hands together and started to focus his chakra for his next tactic, a barrage of Water Shuriken thrown (seven in total) for the possible paths that Sariento would take, as if he were not aiming at all when he was attempting a premeditated attack. {AJ}

Sai:~Sai~ The young boy frowned as he witnessed the body of his opponent break down and bend as if the muscles and bone in his body were no longer there. Sai would stand up straight and watch Ari used the Kekkei Genkai of his clan to evade a blade aimed to pierce and wound him. Once Ari had jumped back and grabbed the Kunai from midair, Sai grinned as he watched him throw the weapons back at him. However this time he was unaware of the kunai that flew beneath it. Although he was oblivious to the second weapon, Sai preformed the Tiger hand seal and preformed the Body Flicker technique. Once this jutsu was used, Sai vanished in a cloud of smoke without a trace and this time had the three beetles that flew above Ari to fly around his ear and almost eliminate one of his senses. This would also cause an irritation to Ari’s other senses if was unable to focus. Soon Sai could be seen on a large boulder that sat outside the arena and had signaled for half of the bugs to swarm in on Ari. Thus leaving seven spread across the arena to watch the movements of Ari as the other ten swarmed in from all directions aiming to attach to the targets skin and embed their limbs into his skin so that they could not be knocked off easily unless cut from his body. If they landed successfully Ari’s chakra would began to be removed and with the number of insects on him, his chakra would be drained within the next three seconds after they attached. While watching this from a far, Sai just simply smiled as he had eyes all over this battle field. ~Sai~

Andikins: {AJ} While Ari had an abundance of chakra for a genin, he had his limits when it came to vampyric parasites that fly around and try to glom on to body parts to sap the strength from the host.  But that was neither here nor there as of yet while Ari was left with the sight of smoke as Sariento disappeared and a buzzing in his ears.  Utilizing the speed he could get from his kekkei genkai and the maneuverability it granted him, he was able to duck and weave while quickly swatting the three bugs out of the air, "Shoo! Go away ya rutty nuissances!"  Though that was when he had the ten bugs leap onto his body and start trying to drain chakra.  Well now we are where this little entry had began.  Ten of them were trying to drain him of his precious chakra, which was water laden at this point so that they could easily bloat themselves on it if that was a thing.  Though he channeled chakra, more than the littler critters could eat, to his limbs as he leapt with a gainer twist before landing into the gound elbow first and cascading a burst of water in all directions, dousing himself and washing off the bugs. "Water Ax, good for a quick rinse off too."  Because no bug likes water, unless it was one of those creepy stick bugs that went across the water.  With his body free of critters, Ari ran toward Sariento (whom he had caught a glimpse of when he was doing his midair twist). And with a quick flip and a dropping of his heel into the ground, Ari kicked up some loose stone from the floor with his PSI enhanced nintaijutsu technique. He grabbed two of as he got up and spun, throwing them while kicking a third at the guy, landing and striking a pose with his fists up and his legs spread while having done all of that in a matter of seconds. {AJ}

YukoAburame(NPC):~The dashing, ravaging, over adjective using Yuko flew low as he had to keep a look out for his destination. The fact that it was night didn’t help, and the stars easily distract Yuko as he was always fixated with them from a young age. But, despite the unfortunate way the Earth was set up at the time, Yuko was focus on getting to where he had to be. He hummed a mellow tune to himself as he thought about the circumstances that lead to him being a replacement in some exams he really had nothing to do with. Apparently whoever was the proctor for the matches that were to take place were either running late, or not running at all and rather, sleeping at home on a nice bed; the thought of a nice bed made Yuko smile as it was night, and usually he sleeps early in order to wake up just as early in order to get his training in without the everyday distractions of people…and girls…and titties…oh the very distracting titties. It didn’t take long for Yuko to find the arena; he had to really just follow the chakra signatures using his sensory skills; which really tells a bit about his abilities in the first place, to detect relatively low level chakra signatures whilst in the midst of flight. ~ “Here we go. Just the place…maybe one of them will lose a limb. God please let one lose a limb.” ~The somewhat sadistic thought brought a slight smile to his face as he swiftly descended down to the arena. He landed just outside the inner circle of the arena, his landing most certainly alerting those participating. ~ “People, the Great Aburame has arrived!” ~He shouts loudly whilst raising his arms and looking towards the sky. He then looks around as he was sure someone would clap, but it didn’t matter. He then went to his idle standing position, and put on a more serious face in order to preside over the match and make sure nothing too crazy went on. And to be honest, I think Yuko would let things get crazy.~

Sai:~Sai~ Sairento sighed deeply as he watch the following actions to take place in the arena. After Ari gushed water out of his body to knock the insects from his skin, the beetles that had been washed away just simply began to crawls around. With Ari’s attempts all he managed was to eliminate the ability of flight to those who were hit with water. Once Sai’s opponent spotted him, The Junrei boy began sprinting at Sairento. Soon Sai would draw his katana and held it as if it were a Kunai, the hilt being in his left hand as the blade was pointed outwards towards his side. In his other hand he drew another Kunai and this time he put two beetles in the finger whole on the hilt. Meanwhile, Ari had thrown three rocks the size of dodge balls at Sai. After doing so Sai twirled the katana in his left hand with the blade now pointing in the direction of Ari and the rocks. Sai could evade the rocks easily but instead he encased the blade of his katana in chakra to strengthen the blade of the sword. Once the rock got in reaching distance for the blade, Sai quickly cut through the rocks and ending their course, the rocks fell to the ground. After cutting down the rocks, Sairento threw the Kunai at Ari, whom was to busy posing as if he had already won, with an intense speed. After releasing the kunai from his grasps, Sai sheathed the blade and began to release a swarm of beetles. Their numbers now up to 30 plus the 20 that were already on the battle field. Ari was now in a bind. Either he’d face the beetles and be attacked by Sai and the flying kunai or attack Sai and be eaten by the beetles. Sai was happy at the current events but he knew he could not let his guard down because Ari was one of the ‘ weird ‘ strong types like Sai was. Thus, Sai had immediately began to squat down getting ready to move his body any way he needed. ~Sai~

Andikins:{AJ} Well that didn't work out, he needed to get closer and quicker, that sword was too skilled at taking down projectiles, but it was also an effective melee weapon as denoted by the little side name that swords were given of "excellent people choppers". Biting the inside of his cheek, Ari had to react fast to the situation and prepare to rush in while drawing out Suzaku and Seiryu, two more of his batons that were red and blue in color respectively. He twirled them around in his hands deftly while barreing straight toward the Aburame. Kunai and beetles were of little consequence and bother to Ari at this point. He was more than capable of weaving through all of it as he moved water toward his legs and stomach to keep himself balanced as he ran inches above the ground, swatting a couple of bugs out of the air when he went into a corkscrew jump to get through the mini swarm. He had a few more on him as he was midair but another crash with the use of the Water Ax and he washed them off again. Quickly rising, he mashed his batons together temporarily whie forming handseals and channeling water like pistons to his arms periodicaly (a quick dragon then monkey). This was followed by punching several times as he closed the distance and got some air to reach the Aburame, "Water Bolas!" He was shooting sleeves of water off his arms in the shape of two spheres connected by a chord that spun with ferocity and sought to strike like heavy stones and wrap around the guy or just feel like a couple of punches to the gut or limbs. Ari was aiming for Sairento's stomach, arms and legs afterall. If that proved ineffective it was time to get up close and personal with some sword on stick fighting. No clear advantage for either party in this instance right? {AJ}

Sai:~Sai~ This fight had no clear winner as both sides were now in a pinch. Ari was was now stripped of some of his chakra for a second time before Sai’s beetles were knocked off. Ari had closed the gap between them and had launched blasts of water at Sairento. With little time Sai swiftly formed the Tiger hand seal and used the Body Flicker Technique once more but this time before he vanished he was grazed by one of the blasts on his right arm. Thus bruising his arm greatly but this was not enough to stop Sai. However, when Sairento vanished he left ten beetles and hid them in the cloud of smoke. Soon Sai appeared directly behind Ari with his Katana now unsheathed and began to unleash a barrage of swift swings at his arms legs and head. If Ari made the wrong move he could easily lose his head. Meanwhile the bugs that had hide in the cloud of smoke had used this time to regroup with the other fifty beetles surrounded Ari. Now Ari had a swarm of bugs at his front as a barrage of attacks came from his back. Sai’s insects had begun to take flight as some of the bugs who had gotten soaked began to dry their wings. Now the bugs moving in sync with Sai’s attacks, the swarm looked as if they were an ocean wave, and with each swing of Sai’s katana came a group of ten bugs trying to attach themselves to Ari’s body to totally consume his chakra. ~Sai~

Andikins:{AJ} There was a distinct sound that came with the use of the body flicker, and a sound that came when someone came out of the technique. "Nope!" Ari flipped forwards, crashing through the swarm of bugs and getting one of his bottles of water cut by the swing of Sairento's sword and a medium sized nick on his side. But the water was a huge problem for the bugs and Sairento. The Junrei were always in a state hyperhydration thanks to the special water they harvested from their home lake. A lake that had been treated and enriched with so much electrolytes that it was toxic for normal humans. It would cause a mixture of a state of hyperkalemia (a major dosage of potassium) first, which could cause palpitations that caused the heart to beat faster and out of rhythm. On top of that was muscle weakness, which meant that the bugs would find it difficult to continue flying if they got hit by the water. Most of it landed back on Ari and kept his body too slick for bugs to land on him for the time being thanks to the normally toxic liquid on his body. He drew his other bottle and uncapped it, quickly putting it between his teeth and tipping his head back while hopping backwards again to put some distance between himself and Sairento, chugging down some water quickly before spitting the bottle out of his mouth and tucking it back onto the holster of his belt. "Come on then, let's get to it bug boy." He spun his batons around again, holding them up defensively as his body felt rejuvenated from the water he drank. {AJ}

Sai:~Sai~ Sairento had grinned at the sight of cutting his opponents side and seeing blood run down the edge of his blade. After he had cut one of Ari’s bottles and spilled the water everywhere, the bugs he had already flying around Ari lost their ability to fly. With the instant knowledge and information he receives from his insects, Sai jumped back a few feet avoiding any contact with the Junrei’s ‘ Special Water. ‘ Sai watched as he witnessed Ari drink the other bottle of that special water he had on his belt. Ari seemed as if he was fully restored and ready for anything but even though the wound on his side wasn’t major it’d still cause and issue for Ari. Sai smiled once his opponent began to boast and get psyched to go all out. Sai sheathed his sword for a quick moment and had lifted his arms out in front of him. “ Hmph…Yeah let’s finish this water boy. “ Sai grinned as beetles began to crawl from the lose sleeves of Sai’s jacket. Soon hundreds of beetles flew from the skin of Sairento and every now and then Ari could see where some crawled out of the pores on Sai’s face. Sai let the sixty bugs, that were drenched in Ari’s special water, rest up as he utilized others. Now the bug count was up to two-hundred forty and Sai had more to go. Instantly the bugs began to circle around Ari, creating a vortex around Ari thus only giving him only one view into the outside world which could be seen if he looked up. Ari’s view was totally sealed and could not see anything besides the star view from above. Meanwhile, Sai drew ten senbon and began to run around the vortex. While running around the vortex of insects, Sai began to throw senbon into the vortex from different angles so they could not be predicted. This worked out without any beetles being harmed because once the senbon reached the vortex the beetles would open small gap in the wall to allow the senbon to pass. However, the gaps were not big enough for Ari to see. Like it was stated the insects and their master were in sync. ~Sai~

Andikins: {AJ} Welp, there was only one word to describe Ari's situation right now: boneroned. An apt and madeup word that described a situation that was fubar no matter what way you looked at it. He was now surrounded by bugs, and was getting senbon thrown into his person. He thought about trying to avoid senbon, but it was hard to predict where they were going to come from! And fleeing through the vortex of insects was a difficult thing to do. Another senbon in his body, another moment to think about what to do. Ari thought about one final thing he could try as he formed handseals, looking up at the ceiling: dragon, tiger, bird, dog, dragon. "Whiplash!" Moving water to his wrists and out of the pores with a sticky feel to them, Ari flung his right arm upwards and stretched the water up to the ceiling and pulled himself up and out of the vortex. Next was eyeing Sairento and throwing his left arm and flinging the sticky water from his wrist to the ground in front of Sairento and pulling himself to the ground like a bullet, seeking to strike Sairento or clash with his katana with the Suzaku baton, "Sup?" {AJ}

Sai:{AJ} Welp, there was only one word to describe Ari's situation right now: boneroned. An apt and madeup word that described a situation that was fubar no matter what way you looked at it. He was now surrounded by bugs, and was getting senbon thrown into his person. He thought about trying to avoid senbon, but it was hard to predict where they were going to come from! And fleeing through the vortex of insects was a difficult thing to do. Another senbon in his body, another moment to think about what to do. Ari thought about one final thing he could try as he looked up for any branches hanging overhead, but it was pretty open air. He just winced when another snebon hit his body and he sighed out heavily, "Okay, you can stop with the stabbing now! It's giving me flashbacks of my teammate from yesterday, the day before, and the day before that! I give." {AJ}

Andikins:~Sai~ Sairento was enjoying himself as he could see everything within the vortex. With the eyes of his insects Sai watched as each of his ten senbon entered Ari’s body. As his blood hit the earth’s surface, Sai grinned and was beginning to get out of control. However, this came to an end as Ari had given in. This stated that Sai won the match but had to still be pronounced by the proctor. Thus forcing Sai to stop his attacks against Ari. When he stopped running, Sai came to a skidding stop as his insects dispersed and returned to their hive which was Sairento’s body. Once all of his insects returned, Sai shoved his hands in his pockets and sighed heavily. “ Well water boy, you gave me a run for my money. Let’s do this again some time. “ Sairento said as he looked up at the star filled sky. ~Sai~
