THE ARENAS: - Valley of Clouds:
Valley of Clouds:The valley of clouds is mountainous canyon high up in the greater kumogakure landscape, having built a squared off arena in one of the known wind funnels, the arena boasts two grandstands to either side with the canyon between them, allowing the crowd to stare down at the competitors. The Arena gains its name from the cloud-bursts that constantly flow in between the peaks of the mountains in the canyon, obscuring vision as the cumulus formations flow through like a misty river. Vision for anyone without a top-down view is exceedingly difficult. Those with perception of E-3 and lower are barely able to see their hand in front of their own face. While those with D-3 or lower perception have their vision limited to 5m, where everything after half that is little more than a shadow.
- Bridge Arena:
Battle on the Bridge:Bridges are a common sight in Kumogakure, where one might liken the city sections hanging atop their tall spires as islands amongst a hanging archipelago. However, one of the bridges in particular has been rigged for the event. Beginning as a 15.5m wide and 150m long bridge with a small 5m radii pagoda in its center, the bridge holds a nasty surprise hidden from all competitors. At the beginning of the second round after the battle begins, 2.5 meters of either side of the bridge will fall away as it has been rigged to do so, making the bridge more narrow and with no visible net beneath you. Then again after another round this process will repeat. Until finally, on the next round, the bridge will fall away leaving it only a ½ meter wide. A ninja falling will naturally result in loss.
- Lightning Bluff:
Lightning Bluff:A formerly sacred location where the cave where the Raikage once held their own trials, now little more than a shadow of its former glory as they mountain was shattered by the current Raikage during his own. The cavern is now an open basin, much of the mountain having been blown away. Tall spires within the arena call to the swirling thunderstorm above that seems to permanently hang around it, striking the spires with powerful bolts of lightning at relatively predictable intervals. Colliding into a pillar as a bolt of lightning strikes it is sure to deal considerable damage to ninja, dealing major second degree burns and paralyzing them for a post should they make contact with the raw natural lightning.
ROUND ONE MATCHUPS!
Welcome to the first round of the duels! The contestants have been chosen and assorted into their first round match-ups, the arena's have been chosen for them, and with that, the first round is ready to begin. Those on the left hand column of the above image are those lucky enough to enter first, and remember there is a 24 hour rule on posting unless you have given a reason or grievance to 'myself' or another administrator in which you will have special considerations made. If you have not posted in that time, your opponent is available to post a second time and assume that their actions have made contact. The round has 2 weeks to complete, ending on the 1st of march.
Some other things to remember:
- No Godmodding: You cannot take active control of another person's character or dictate their actions for them in a way they have not expressed.
- No Meta-Gaming: You don't see the future or know everything that's going to happen. State predictions before they happen IC.
- No Power-Playing: you're not a god who can effortlessly avoid everything coming your way.
People who break these rules will be penalized or disqualified. All rulings from admins and proctors are not to be disputed
(Mitsuo, Ayakashi, Syekren and Nozomi), simply roll with the punches and have fun with your battles as much as you can! Enjoy!

ROUND TWO MATCHUPS!
After the first round comes to its conclusion the stages are reset and the people of Kumogakure and those who have traveled to witness the tribulations of their fellow ninja cheer on their champions while congratulating the efforts of those who gave their all but failed to rise to the challenge. Albiet some were wounded, occasionally grievously with the shocking brutality of this years' exams in contrast to the others that have preceded it... So it is that standing on a solitary structure overlooking a grand arena housing the next contestants, without being so much as given the names of their to be opponents until the moment before their bout, they are given the locations for their next round...
Finally! A congratulation to those who have come this far and sadly did not make the cut yet finished their final round in defeat. To all those who have posted an 'exit' in those threads bringing them formally to a close, you may receive your reward of 1500 ryo and 5 EP! Simply post your fight in the admin request thread asking for your prize. Those who have not 'completed' their battle will only receive the default prize for reaching this far, 1000 ryo and a single D rank catalog item (or E Rank consumable set.).
This match round is set to finish on the 8th of March.Some Notes:
- Knowledge: No participant knows the names of the person they're being matched up against or the details of the arenas they're being placed into. As fighters have been kept in relative isolation to each other between fights with the proctor's lips seals, details have been kept deftly secret without exception. Should news slip within reason ICly there may be IC consequences for showing otherwise.
- Arena Size: All arenas are 210m across in total
- Valley Vision: Vision in the valley of clouds for those over C rank perception is 15m total, the latter most 5 is only shadows.
- Bridge Timing: Parts of the bridge fall away at the 'end' of the round, meaning at the beginning of the 'next' round is when players are able to react to it happening.

SEMI-FINALS!
As the second round draws to its close, the trick arenas of Kumogakure's exams are left behind, massive crowds are drawn into an arena under the watchful guard of the village ninja as well as the Proctors of the exams themselves... leading them to Genbu, a massive turtle, where upon its back a singular expansive colusseum is built within the spine ridged forest that surrounds the rest of the grounds. As the people take their seats, the competitors are led into their own separate chambers awaiting what could be some of their final rounds. The Kage and leaders of the villages in attendance are invited to watch over the Semi-Final matches, the three Proctors, a masked man that seems to hold no colour, a woman dressed in bronze robes with iron barbs in her hair and a cloaked third stand at odd ends of the arena watching and waiting for the rounds to begin as Hastur makes a grand welcoming speech to the audience, as opening rounds, and exhibition fights for the crowds entertainment begin... hours pass, and finally, the main event!
I would like to begin with a firm thanks to the competitors in this exams that have made this one of the most successful exams we have seen on narutosaga, the sportsmanship has been truly outstanding. This time, to all those who have finished their time in the exams, having lost in round two and have just now been eliminated and exited their thread or roleplayed to the very end, your prize is a grand total of: 2000 Ryo, 10 EP and a single free C rank item that can be chosen from any item catalog. Just a reminder that these prizes do not stack. To those who have received a DQ or lost by failing to post, you default to the prize from the previous round. (1500 ryo + 5EP).Time: This round is set to finish earlier than the other rounds, fighters will have one week to finish their matches. officially ending on the 15th.
Some notes:
- Reminder:I'd like to give a friendly reminder about the rules of this competition, no godmodding, powerplaying or metagaming. Also that the rulings of the proctors are not to be disputed.
- Semifinal Arena:
Genbu: The Black Tortoise Genbu is an ancient tortoise that since time immemorial has been known to associate with the land of Kumogakure to the point that the two are synonymous. Usually used as a training ground for ninja, Genbu has been better suited to act as the staging ground for the Chuunin Exams’ glorious semi-finals. Upon the heart of the turtles’ back lays a grand Colosseum capable of housing thousands of people built for examinations, but now to stage the exams as they reach their climax. The arena is a circular 60m radii neutral field of 1m wide and 1/2 foot thick sculpted natural natural stone panels at the ninjas’ feet where grass can be seen growing between their 1/2 inch cracks. The proctors stand at the edges of the fighting stage, while ninja around them create and maintain and S rank barrier to protect the crowd from action in the arena.
Entrants enter from opposite sides, and may position themselves anywhere on their 1/2 of the arena in their opening post before combat begins.

THE FINALE!
he semi-finals ended decisively with a thundering roar from the crowd as those who contended were carted back to the medical center for treatment. Following which the Raikage would stand to the applause of the others, it seemed that he was pleased with the final result, waiting for the crowd to calm he would announce to all those in attendance.
"Congratulations! to our two Genin finalists from Kirigakure No Sato that have managed to make it this far, it seems indeed the mists reputation for fine ninja is not to be underestimated! Also, a congratulations must go out to all the semi finalists and their efforts. But it seems now comes the time for the final bout! I bid you to cast your eyes to the projectors, this next challenge will surely please."Let the finals begin! Congratulations to all those who managed to get into the semi-finals!

Well done! you deserve it! To those who were DQ'd or timed out, your prize will default to the prize of the round before. (2000 Ryo + 10EP + 1 C rank catalog item.)- Finals Arena:
The Forbidden MesaAn ancient fortress castle that belonged to the first of the Kumogakure Daimyo line, the Raikage has claimed this territory as the ground for the finals at the floor of the basin far below the Kumogakure Mountain range and the Village itself. Surrounded by stands and monitors allowing the crowd to watch, their cheers carried on the winds. The Arena within the Fortress castle consists of three parts, the courtyard; an open area of a dried up zen garden with a massive old tree in its center that is 60m wide. The wall; a large that once protected the manor, 5m wide and 20m tall and made of solid stone that extends around the estate. Before finally, there’s the rooftops, a tiled and tiered volatile series of roofs of old buildings that surround the courtyard and the layered castle awnings that scale up five stories. Though, as the fight takes place primarily outdoors, the greater area outside the courtyard is protected by an S rank ninja barrier that encapsulates the arena in a dome.
