Sunrise, The Takigakure Hero Resort, Suite 404

Suutei was up all night unable to get over the fight he had with Ryusei days ago, he was tough unlike any opponent he had ever faced.  Able to take out his lower left tendon, located in the crease between his calf and hamstring.  It was not severe enough to disable him but the injury put him to rest for the next 2 days.  Still not, at full strength, the Quarterfinals were announced and he was to face a kid known as Kusano Kaguya of the Village Hidden in the Mist.  It was rather suprising that only two contestants from Konoha advanced this far, and only one from Kumogakure.  There was also two Genin from Iwagakure, one a girl who’d somehow held her own against the Zhuge kid and Motoichi a guy he met back when Aethir went crazy for strawberries.  The door to his suite began to open and he turned his head, only to see the door open, but nobody enter.  Suutei sat up and reached for his kunai from behind his pillow, ready for whoever it was sneaking into his room.  ”OOOOOOOOOOOOOH SUUUUUTEEEEEEEI!”  A loud squealish voice rang throughout his room.  Wait a second I know that voice...

Tony appeared as he pounced from the footboard of the bed onto Suuteis’ stomach, making him gasp slightly he smiled.  ”Ugggh Chopper!  Hey buddy!”  Chopper climbed on the pillow next to him, ”What are you doing still in bed!?!  The quarterfinals are today, get up we gotta go Suutei!”  Chopper grabbed Suuteis hand pulling him upwards.  The truth was that Suutei was nervous about his fight what if he lost.  All of this would have been for nothing; he would have failed himself, his clan, his village, and even Chopper.  Reluctantly he got οut of bed and dressed himself in his proper combat attire, "Chopper...Thank You."  Tying around his headband on his arm he was prepared.  All his basic tools; Senbon located in his right back pouch, his kunai hanging from his neck like a necklace.  The time was now the Quarterfinals would begin in less than an hour.

Midday, Hero Arena, Quarterfinal Round 1
Suutei arrived with Chopper along his side at the Hero Arena, the location of the battle. The match was set to begin as the battle proctor stood to the side of Suutei, approxiamately 5 meters from him.  "Chopper find a way to survey the layout of the Arena and hurry back by the time the match begins."  Chopper didn't say a word he nodded and ran to a high tree giving atleast a 30 meter view all-around the tree.  Suutei crossed his arms contemplating his thoughts, and collecting himself.  His opponent stood before him 10 meters ahead of him, Suutei was not phased nor broken by his opponents intimidating stare.  

The proctor held his hand in the air signaling the two Genin to hold.  "The 1st round of the Elite 8 shall commence.  Our two competitors Suutei Kimura of Konohagakure and Kusano Kaguya of Kirigakure.  Let the match begin....NOW!"  The proctor vanished in an explosion of white smoke, Suutei would take his stances.  Reaching behind him with his left hand into his back pouch, removing 3 Senbon sliding them into the slits of his fist.

OOC:  Sorry I didn't make my adjustment yesterday

The village of Takigakure was a quaint little village. Not as large as any of the main villages, about medium in comparison. Kusono had been here a week or so. Enjoying the festival and the chunnin exams regularly each day. Kusono had been given a bye for his performance in the first round of the exams. He was among the first three of the competitors to make it to the middle of the labyrinth. Though he was curious which one out of the three he was. The proctor which gave him the bye wasn't specific and refused to answer any of his questions. It didn't bother him, it actually freed him up to enjoy himself a little more before entering into the next part of the exams. Besides training, watching the fights at the arena was where he spent a majority of his time. He had found a group that placed some less than legal bets and fell in with them. Needless to say, Kusono lost and gained ryo as the matches went on. In the long run he won more than he lost, is only by a measly amount. It earned him enough to spoil himself on moderately fancy alcohol and various other festivities available in Takigakure. But like all good things, they always come to an end. The day of his match was fast approaching. He was set to fight Suutei Kimura. The kid was from Konohagakure, the village hidden in the leaves. Kusono had not heard of his clan, neither did the crowd he hung out with. There was no help in that department, so he did the next best thing, sleep.

The day of the exams came early in the morning, only a few hours from first light. An alarm was needed to rouse the young Kaguya from his sleep, he had never been a morning person. The usual thigns where taken care of and he was dressed in his usual attire. His long white hair was tied back in a poney tail, a few stray hairs framed his milky skin. His Black and red Kimono was placed over his black pants and tied with a purple braided belt. Lastly, his Kirigakure headband was tied loosely around his neck. If anything it would protect his throat from any damage. His ninja shoes where slipped on and he headed out to the arena.

The arena was jam packed with people trying to get a good seat to watch his fight. A few of the people recognized his face from a few posters showing him matched up against his opponent. Some offered motivation, others, particularly people who bet on him, told him he had a lot of money depending on him. A mixed message but he would take what he could get. Kusono skipped the long line of people and signed in at the front desk. From there he was lead into the underground of the arena, a waiting space for the fighters. Another proctor motioned for him to stand behind a gate, which was immediately pulled open to reveal the battlefield. It was a large circular grassy battlefield. A small moat encircled it with a few trees spread out to add some life to the place. The roar of the crowd grew loader as he stepped toward where his opponent and proctor stood. Kusono stopped when the proctor held out his hand, about a 10 meter distance separated the two combatants. The kid was a few inches shy of Kusono's height and a few years off as well. The kid was dressed in(Assuming off of your avatar) a blue hooded head wrap which left his spikey blue hair spilling out of it. A waist high light brown shirt which revealed his muscular figure. The kid was probably a close ranged fighter like Kusono. The proctor began introducing the two, Kusono's attention trained off as a small shape broke off from the boy and skittered around to the top of a tree. The boy had a pet, most likely used as additional eyes in a fight, a smart move. "Let the match begin....NOW!" , said the proctor disappearing in a cloud of smoke. Kusono hopped back an extra five meters to put a full 15 meters between the two while throwing off his Kimono to reveal his milky white skin. The Kimono was still held together at the belt, making it look like an odd tail. No change was noticeable to anyone but Kusono, but under his skin a layer of bone was forming. A layer strong enough to block most attacks. He reached his right hand over his head, waiting for his next jutsu to finish. A symphony of audiable bone cracks and creaks would echo from the genin. In seconds a pale white object would jet from his left shoulder, fitting snugly in his awaiting hand. Closing his grip around the object, Kusono ripped it from himself to reveal it to be a 1.5 foot long bone blade. The crowd both gasp in surprise and cheered on the spectacle. The entire ordeal lasted a few seconds, his eyes always trained on his opponent. Kusono readied his new weapon,he would let his opponent have the first move.

120/150:

After the commencement of the battle Suutei held his stance, watching the boy increase the gap between them an additional five meters.  Smart move considering Suutei was a short to middle range fighter.  Suutei couldn’t just let him split the gap like that though, well atleast when he took his kimino off and showed his awfully pale skin.  The boys skin was as pale as bone which was weird, he remembered the protor stating he was apart of the Kaguya clan.  The clan was familiar but, the specifics were still a bit hazy to him.  Suutei looked to Chopper out of the corner of his eye, he held up two of his fingers a signal they used to let each other know to remain stationary.  Suutei replaced his Senbon in the back pouch, as it was the use of a Senbon at this distance was pointless.  Suutei already thought Kusano to be a strange guy, but it was taken to a whole other level after witnessing this.  A sonata of what sounded like clunky bone cracks and screeching echoing from his body.  Within just a few seconds after, a pale white object would shoot from his left shoulder, fitting snugly in his hand. Curiousity fell over Suutei when his opponent gripped the white object, then ripped it from himself to reveal it to be a long bone like blade.  Suutei was taken by surprise at the action, that the boy pulled bone straight from his body.  That was when he realized what he was up against, the Kaguya specialize in bone structure manipulation.

Suutei would have to readjust his approach, but apparently Chopper knew something he didn’t when Chopper held up only one finger.  Suutei followed the signal and dashed full speed at the boy, his number one priority steer clear of the blade if he swung it.  Suutei closed in on Kusano rather quickly, and swung his fist aiming for his abdomen.  Hopefully knocking the wind out of him, in the mean time he would have to remember something that could help him beat this weird guy.  Suutei knew only one technique that could possibly work, but did not want to bring it out yet.  It was his secret technique after all, but he did have an alternative if his strike landed, he would barrel roll backwards and shoot a fireball into the air that would split off once reaching its ceiling.  8 fireballs would surround his opponent and upon contact with the ground they would detonate, giving Suutei a slight edge with his follow up technique he prepared.  

140/150:

The feeling of his bones creaking and cracking to assimilate his new bones was heavenly. It was like the long stretch as the start of the morning. The weight of the bone dagger was only about a half a pound to a pound, a light and deadly weapon, all of his own creation. The handle of the blade fit his hand like a glove. After all, Kusono could mold the handle to his liking by manipulating the osteocytes and osteoblasts in the dagger to fit his hand to almost microscopic levels. It felt good being in the arena. The roar of the crowd kept his heart racing and his mind sharp. It made him giddy with anticipation, maybe he should have taken the initiative and attacked first? No matter, he had plenty more opportunities to attack. He would just have to let his opponent come to him. He needed to feel out Suutei, see what kind of ninja he was.

Before his opponent commenced his attack, he looked over to his pet in the tree and sheathed his senbon back in their holster. What where they planning? Obviously they where planning something, his opponent quickly closed the fifteen meter gap between them, intent on going toe-to-toe with the young Kaguya. If that's how he wanted to play it, it was fine by him. He let his opponent close the distance to hand to hand combat distance. Kusono opened up his guard, letting the kid take a swing to his abdomen. He let the blow through his guard, landing in the middle of his stomach. Kusono himself only felt a small bit of pressure from the blow, not even enough to shake his stance. Suutei would feel his hand connect with a solid sheet of mass, almost like an armoured plate.

By letting Suutei hit him, he let him far into his reach. Using his free left hand, Kusono would grab ahold of his opponent's arm. Being as far into Kusono's reach as Suutei was, it would be extremely difficult to retract his arm in time to dodge the grab. Once there, Kusono would try and pull Suutei even further into his reach, using his dagger to hook behind Suutei's shoulder. If Suutei didn't go into Kusono, he would have a large slice going from his left shoulder blade around to his left pictorial muscle. Once there, Kusono would get him into a bear hug, activating his other jutsu. Almost instantaneously, numerous one foot long spikes would cover Kusono's entire body, skewering his opponent several times over.

OOC: Enforcing the 48 hour rule

Drip.......
Drip......
The warm blood of the boy covered Kusono's entire body. His bone spikes have left numerous 1.5 inch stab wounds to his entire chest, face, and arms. His crimson life essense washed over Kusono like warm bathwater. A cruel smile creeped over his face as he increased the pressure on his bear hug. This would dig the blades even deeper into his opponent, increasing not only his pain, but Kusono's pleasure. This was what it meant to be a Kaguya. This was what his clan was all about. Reveling battle, destruction, and death. He had not felt so giddy and free ever in his entire life. Was this the bloodlust of his ancestors that had been suppressed for generations? It felt.....right. He had to have more.

Kusono lessened the pressure he put on the bear hug, grabbing Suutei by the throat, holding him steady. In his other hand was his bone dagger, poised and ready to strike, the tip only inches from his opponents throat. The young Kaguya cocked his arm back and thrust the blade forward, expecting another warm spray of pure ecstasy.

ok…

Suutei will need medical attention and has been removed from the field by the proctors of the exam.

Kusono wins by default.
